Following Burglarizing of
PattisOn's Store Saturday

William Wilson, 10, and Albert Ri
ley, aged II years, both of Blooming
ton, Garrett county, were brought to
Oakland early Sunday morning by
Constable Andrew Shartzer following
their arrest early that morning on
two charges of burglary. They were
held in Jail until yesterday when at
a hearing before Justice West Wilson
was dismissed and Riley held under
bond for his appearance at the June
Term of Court Being unable to fur
nish the required bail he was remand
ed to Jail.
Both boys reside at Bloomington.
The charge against them was break
ing into and robbing the store of G.
c. Pattison and the pool room of o. C.
Mile at Bloomington.
The pool room and store combined
of Mr.. Miller was robbed of shoes,
belts and other wearing apparel which
was found by searching parties in an
old outbuilding near the homes of the
two boys. From the Pattison store
a box of garden seeds, valued at S106,
was carried away. This was found at
the home Of Riley who later confessed
that he and his brother had gotten
the contents of the box and had made
division of the property. The
brother is still at large.
Young Wilson was dismissed as
no evidence introduced at the hearing
implicated him in the robbery.

WAS BRADDOCK KILLED BY
ONE OF HIS OWN SOLDIERS?
Old Pennsylvania Frontiersman
Claimed He Fired Fatal Shot
at The British Commander

One of the most romantic tragedies
in American history, and particularly
interesting to the people of this sec
toin because of its enactment in this
locality, is the Braddock expedition
from Fort Cumberland towards Fort
Duquesne, and subsequent death of
the brave English general.
Recently there has been a revival
of the story that Braddock's death
was at the hands of one of his own
army, big Pennsylvania frontiers
man named Tom Fawcett having de-
clared, it is said, that he fired the
dock because the latter struck down
his brother.
Terrific Confusion.
The confusion and terror of the
territory. He said that he shot Brad
Fayette county, Pa, and surrounding
shot that killed the general.
Fawcett, who lived to be ITO years
old was known to many residents of
Braddock massacre was such that 1t
would be hard to determine who did
shoot the British leader. In the re-
Gently published History of Allegany
County" by DR.. James W. Thomas, no
reference is made to the Fawcett
story, but the scene at the time that
Braddock ordered the retreat to Fort
Cumberland is wildly described.
"The slaughter went on for hours"
says the local history. "The ammuni-
ton was giving out; the officers were
nearly all killed or wounded, not a
singleaide but Washington being left;
more than half the army had fallen,
and the rest could do nothing where
they were but die.
Shot As Retreat Began.
"Braddock gave the order to retreat
and almost at the same moment ball
pierced his right arm and entered his
lungs, inficting a mortal wound. The
retreat became a headlong fight,
which the dying general in vain at
tempted to check * s. General Brad
dock died on Sunday, July Is, 1855.
He was wrapped in his cloak as a
winding sheet and buried at daybreak
Monday morning in the middle of the
road that the army, in passing over
the grave, might obliterate every
trace of it's whereabouts and thus
avoid any dissertation of the body by
the Indians" {
Braddock's grave, over which the
British government erected monu-
ment in 1918, is on the National Pike
between Cumberland and Uniontown
and attracts the attention of thous-
ands of tourists every year.
Whether Braddock fell from the
bullet of the French and Indians OF
from the rifle of Tom Fawcett, one OF
his own soldiers, may never be known

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Major
league club owners at the coming
annual meetings may discuss the
complaints against the intentional
pass and consider other means of
speeding up baseball.
Football leaders at about the same
time will be hearing a cry for the
elimination of the huddle system
and for the imposition of added obi
cations on the officials to keep the
teams going.
The Intentional pass has its tech
nical advantages and from the play
ing end of baseball it is a valuable
strategy. but it is a matter of rec
ord that the paying customers do
not like to see Babe Ruth and other
star batters deprived of a chance to
hit.
Properly applied the hdddle sys-
tenn has great advantages and be
comes almost a necessity in cases
where the quarter back can't make
himself heard above the noise of the
crowd. But when used for the pur-
pose of stalling it is a distinct men
ace to fast football
Hard to Find
Baseball and football leaders ad-
nit the necessity of reform. but prac-
teal corrective measures are almost
impossible to find.
If football games are to be FIN
ished before darkness, either the
games will have to be started soon
err or the officials will have to be
equipped with, better rules to keep
the players going.
During the last five minutes of
the Army-Navy game 1t was so dark
on the field the players hardly could
be seen from the stands. Such con-
ditions not only work against proper
enjoyment Of the game. but imperil
the safety of gt.sat crowds who
have to pick their way out OF huge,
dark stadium.
The rules provide penalties now
against stalling, but complaints have
been heard that officials are too
lenient and that in many cases where
