land Rotary Club, last Friday night,
at the William-James Hotel, was
success in every particular. The men,
bers of the club had as their guests
their wives and friends, numbering
in all about sixty.
The dining hall was decorated very
beautifully with cut flowers and vari-
colored lights. The favors were cor
sage bouquets for the. ladies and but
tonaires of carnations for the gentle
men.
Dr. Moore, who is a loyal and lead
ing member of the club, offered the
invocation and an address was de-
livered by President McComas.
Rotarian Henry Lauer, chairman of
the entertainment committee, was the
postmaster who presented in turn
Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, who spoke on Ro-
tary and what it stands for. His ad-
dress was a masterpiece and was APP
plauded most generously. Mr.. William
Cramer, of Cumberland, a member of
the Cumberland Kiwanis Club, enter
tanned the guests very pleasingly with
an address of witticisms and personal
experiences as a member of the "Y"
during the World War. Messrs. Gill
bert and Littman played several in
strumental selections.
The club and the guests present en-
joyed the singing of the Rotary songs,
of which there were manG,

LAD DEAD OF EXPOSURE
FOLLOWING INTOXICATION
Lewis Harvey, II, Found and
Drank MOonshine and Then
Laid Out In Woods.

Lewis Harvey, aged II years, son
of Truman and Mary Harvey, near
Kitzmiller, died of exposure at his
home Monday night at seven o'clock
following night of exposure while
in an intoxicated condition caused by
the finding and drinking of a guam
tity of moonshine liquor at point in
the woods near his home.
Harvey, in company with another
lad, Oris Covers, who is a nephew,
went into the woods above Kitzmiller
whene the Covers boy stated upon re-
turning to his home Sunday night
that they had found two barrels of
moonshine mash buried in the earth.
Uncovering it theyprocured quantity
of the liquor which they drank Har-
vey, it is said, became so intoxicated
that he wandered off deeper into the
bush and falling into a stream his
clothing became soaked as a result.
Crawling out upon the bank he made
his way into a laurel thicket where he
partly disrobed and got upon a fallen
log, where he fell asleep and remained
until nearly noon when he was dis
covered by posse of men and taken
to his home, his death occurring the
same evening as a result of the eX-
posture to the cold and the imbibing of
the liquor.
Covers, it is said, was so bewil-
dered that he could not give an acco-
rate account Of his actions nor that of
the Harvey boy until Monday morning
nor could he tell the posse the direc-
ton of the stream from Kitzmiller
into which Harvey had fallen. The
men searching for the boy found the
mash as detailed by Covers and
sample is now in the hands of the Of
ticials. The makers are unknown.
Harvey is survived by his parents
and several brothers and sisters.
Officers Make Arrest.

Castle Hall of Garrett Lodge, No.
113, Scene of Much Merry
Making Friday Night

Although other attractions had a
tendency to make inroads on our at
tendance last Friday night, yet the
regular attendance records were
broken, thus SCATTERING the grave
doubts and misgivings entertained by
the men in charge of the evenings
merry-making as to how many would
be present. Knights, not a few re-
sponded to the appeal or rather the
opportunity to attend en- masse and
enjoy the program as announced by
our new broadcasting station KPPC
knights of Pythias Publicity Com
mittee). 1t is most gratifying to the
officers and entertainment committee
to see such interest manifested as on
that occasion.
After the closing of the lodge Mr..
F. E. Rathbun assumed the chairman
ship and delighted all with the clever
manner in which he introduced the
speakers of the evening, his introduce
tory remarks being interspersed with
dashes of brilliancy and bits of hu-
NOR.
Brother w. w. Dawson not only
demonstrated that he is possessed of
all the qualifications attributed to him
in our last writing, but earned one
more title, that of statistician. His
personal adventures as well as the
data offered proved highly interest
ing. We wish to make correction in
connection with the bear story in last
weeks news. Instead of being bear
that disturbed their equilibrium and
almost precipitated hasty retreat
from their well fortified cabin, the
cause for alarm turned out to be
porcupine.
Brother H. P. Stuck touched briefly
on the most notable features of his
trip. The facts he presented, as we'll
as the description of the places Wis
tied, made an impression on his lis
teners. In short, the excellent music,
the splendid addresses and the re-
freshments served were all that any,
one could wish.
@ Do not lose sight of the banquet,
hich we predict will eclipse any held
4 former years. More banquet news
be given next week.

ESCAPED DEATH WHEN CAR
TURNED OVER; BUT JAILED
Patrick E. Raley Is Committed
In Default of $1O0 Fine For
Diving While Drunk.

An hour after he miraculously es-
capped death when his automobile
turned turtle after crashing into the
Six-Mile- Run bridge, six miles west
of Cumberland on the National High
way Friday afternoon, Patrick Ed
ward Raley, 81 years old, of Finzel,
Garrett county, was lodged in the
Cumberland Jail following his convic-
ton before an Allegany county JUS
tice of the Peace of operating a mo-
tor car while under the influence of
intoXicants.
Accompanied by another man,
whose name the police did not get,
and who escaped after the accident,
Raley was driving his car, new one,
on the National Highway toward
Frostburg, when it skidded, turned
over and rolled distance of fifty
feet, bringing up against the stone
parapet of the bridge spanning the
stream. Raley and his companion
were both thrown out of the machine,
which fact probably saved their lives.
Learning of the accident Corporal
Dyas, of the State Motor Police force,
hurried to the scene on a motorcycle
and found Raley wandering aimlessly
about the highway. He took him be-
fore Magistrate John J. Dressman, at
LeVale, and charged him with operat-
ing the automobile while drunk. Mag
istrate Dressman found Raley guilty
and imposed fine of 500 and costs.
In default of payment Raley was sent
to the Cumberland Jail.
The accident occurred about 100
yards from the Six Mile-House. The
automobile is a total wreck, its rear
end being completely torn out; the
wheels smashed and the body disman-
tied.
Stranger almost than the escape of
Raley was the fact that while the au-
tomobile was practically a total and
complete wreck, having turned over
-1everal times the windshield does not
bear a scratch from the accident.

THE BROWNING BROTHERS
GAVE TOWN PROMINENCE
Hundreds of Their Friends In
Garrett County and Elsewhere
Delighted With Program

The Browning Brothers, Messrs.
Abel and Thomas, seconded by their
nephew, John Browning, gave Oak
land and Garrett county considerable
publicity on last Saturday night at
which time their repertoire of violin
and harp music was broadcasted to
all points in the eastern United States
from Station KDKA, Pittsburgh, Pa,
to which point the party motored from
Oakland, accompanied by Mr.. Neil
Fraley, on Saturday morning, the re-
turn to Oakland being made Sunday
afternoon.
Hundreds of people in Oakland and
other hundreds in various parts of
Garrett county heard the program
with varying degrees of delight and
pride that the county produced such
able fiddlers which drew to the studio
in Pittsburgh great crowds of the
residents of that city who went to
greet the entertainers and to express
their appreciation.
From many parts of the country
letters commencing the fiddlers for
their entertaining numbers have been
received by them and also at the
broadcasting station. The Republican
office is also in receipt Of one or two
notes from friends of the editor as
well as friends of the Browning broth
ers. The program came in splendidly
at all points in the county. Several
numbers We're played for especially
good friends of the performers whose
names. were announced from the stu
dio by the director.
Tuesday afternoon Mayor Fraley,
who sponsored the entertainment in
conjunction with Kerins Brothers, of
Oakland, was in receipt of the follow
ing letter from the studio in Pitts
burgh:
Mr. L. M. Fraley, Oakland, Md.
Dear Sir:-In behalf of the Stock
man-Farmer officers and personal,
wish to thank you for the excellent
feature provided in the shape of the
entertainment by the Browning Broth
ers and their friends. They gave over
a wonderful exhibition and it is need
less to say that we of the Stockman
and KDKA were greatly pleased with
these old gentlemen. We hope that
sometime in the near future that we
may again be able to feature them in
a special program, one which will take
the form of an old fddlers' contest.
Yours very truly,
]. H. WEIR, Program Director.

ROBBERY LAST NIGHT
Oakland Pharmacy BurglariZed
and Attempt Made to Enter
SincelPS Store.

Some time during last night and
prior to four o'clock this morning, at
which time the discovery was made by
Policeman B. B. Nethkin, burglars en-
tered and robbed the Oakland Phar-
macy of goods and cash roughly est
mated at 500, and an unsuccessful
attempt, which was discovered later,
was also made to enter the store of
H. C. Sincell, which adjoins the phar-
macy building.
Entrance to the drug store was eff
fected by forcing a window in the
rear. Eversharp pencils, fountain pens
and several cameras, in addition to
about SIS in cash, taken from the cash
register were stolen. The discovery
was made by the policeman in his
rounds, who at once notified Mr.. Jos.
E. Harmed, the proprietor, by tele-
phone, but no clue, up to- this time has
been found that would lead to the
identity of the burglars.
Entrance to the Sincell building
was likewise effected through rear
window of The Republican press room,
which adjoins the store room and is
separated by two doors. The first
door leading into a small lobby was
unlocked by the robbers, but the
doors leading from thence into the
store room withstood the efforts, al
though heavy machine wrench taken
from one of the work rooms of The
Republican was used as a jimmy to
force them.

vice and the compensation of the doc
tors who had charge of the child
