TRIAL OF GLAD LARUE Is
SET FOR FEBRUARY |
Will Go On Trial For Murder of
Woman Near Pittsburgh
September 18th Last

Glad Larue, aged "a years, son of
Richard Larue, LIVING on the National
Highway between the Big and Little
Savage Mountains in Garrett county,
will go on trial Saturday, February
/, at Pittsburgh, Pa, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Mollie McGinnis,
East Pittsburgh, Pa, whose death oc-
Cured on Friday, September 18th,
last.
Attorney John NJ. Henry, Pitts
burg and vicinity, where he was well
Summit, near Frostburg, Allegany
county, will represent Larue, and-iiss
expected to be in Frostburg some
time this week to go over certain de-
tails in connection with the case with
members of the Larue family
Larue's case has caused much spec
ulation among the residents of the
northern and eastern section of Gar
rett county and the people of Frost
burg and vicinity, wher che was well
known and was esteemed by many
as young man of apparent industri-
Gus habits prior to going to Pitts
burgh three or four years ago.
Larue's victim, Mrs. McGinnis, was
returning to her home from a shop
ping trip to Williamsburg, Pa, and
was near the home of a neighbor
when it is alleged Larue accosted her.
1t is said that Larue had a piece of
led pipe in his hand and pursuing
Mrs. McGinnis up a flight of stairs
to the apartment of a neighbor, bat
tered the door down which had been
closed in his face, and grabbed Mrs.
McGinnis, hitting her over the head
until she became unconscious. She
died short time after the assault
had been made.
Larue was not caught until several
days after the commission of the
crime with which he stands indicted.
He escaped from the city the same
night he killed Mrs. McGinnis, arriv-
ing in Frostburg the following morn
ing and before the news of the COM
mission of the crime had been re-
ceived by the local officers. Two or
three days later his capture at the
home of his father located between
the two Savage Mountains was eff
fected by the police of Frostburg,
who later turned him over to the
Pittsburgh officials.

BALTIMORE B0OTLEGGERS

City Prison damned, So Twenty
White and COlored Prisoners
Come To Garrett County

Saturday afternoon United States
Marshall Collier of Baltimore brought

colored to Oakland and turned them
over to Sheriff Guy 0. Yutzy to be
confined in the local Jail to serve their
sentences of from thirty to ninety
days following conviction in the
Federal Court of Baltimore on boot
Logging charges.
With all jails in Baltimore crowded
the city officials were at loss to
know what to do with their charges
until it was suggested that they be
sent to the various counties, hence
twenty were brought to Oakland,
while three went to Hagerstown, five
to Westminster and three to Freder-
lex, with the Government agreeing
to pay the county authorities for their
keep.
In all seventy-two convictions on
bootleggeing charges were obtained
by the Government in the Baltimore
court. To house the prisoners while
court was still in session U. S. Mar
shall Collier succeeded in having some
of them lodged in the Towson Jail and
other institutions near Baltimore I'M
til the exodus to Western Maryland
began.
The men were brought here under
guard and met at the railway station
by Sheriff Yutzy who marched them
to the local Jail.
One resident of Oakland, when the
procession was crossing Second street,
wanted to know what minstrel troupe
had arrived in town.

PROTECTION OF WILD
GAME BEING URGED
Killing Birds and Rabbits Out of
Season Given as Cause of Scar
city in This County

Writing to his paper from Lonacon-
ing, the correspondent of the Cum
berland Daily News of Saturday last
had the following to say concerning
game and game conditions in that
part of Garrett county bordering on
the Homecoming section:
"The scarcity of wild game in this
section and part of Garrett county,
has caused much complaint among
hunters, especially the sportsmen of
this place who are aware of and in
dignant over the extinction of pleas
ants and rabbits.
MANY reports have been current
as to the cause and extent of this I'M
fortunate killing, the most common of
which seems to be that game is killed
out of season and many sportsmen
range their dogs in closed seasons,
thus preventing the growth of wild
game, which in past years was plen-
tiful. One hunter, whose hobby is
pheasant, quail and grouse, stated
that this season he has not fired one
shot in Garrett county where, in the
years passed, he bagged big numbers
daily.
In order to promptly alleviate the
situation, the hunters of this section
and vicinity will have to pull together
and protect the game, for within an
other year hunting will be a thing of
the past.
"The killing of game out of season
in this neighborhood has occurred to
some extent since the winter of 1928
1924. Previous investigations have
shown that the game is killed this
way, but thus far no examples have
been made of the guilty parties.
Energetic steps are going to be
taken, it is said, with officials at
Washington, who will keep in close
touch with the situation in an effort
to further assist the many Maryland
ers who are interested in this mat
ter"

EGG LAYING Competition

For some weeks | have been read
ing the accounts of the egg laying
competition which is being conducted
at College Park, Md, as it is a sub
ject of which l am particularly fond
of, and when l read the account Of
the past week srecord l do notwonder
at the opinion expressed by SO many
people, that up here on top of the
Alleghenies it is too cold for anyone
to make the poultry business pay, as
they state in their account of last
weeks production that the average
fell off or went down to 34.2 per cent
when the weather got below freezing
If, when the weather gets below
freezing,it causes the hens to fall off
for everybody in the east, as it did
those in the contest, no wonder the
people in the warmer sections say the
poultry business cannot be made to
pay. Although we have had some
severe weather here in Garrett county
this winter, some days to zero and
below, with high wind, and some of
our chickens had their combs frozen,
yet from one flock Of Sc Plymouth
Rock pullets, Matched June Is; 38
White Wyandotts, Matched May 20;
81 Rhode Island Reds, Matched May
10, and 113 hens, 2 and 3 years old,
white Wyandotts and Leghorns) we
did not receive less than 80 eggs each
day, and from that up to ia. The
first ten days of this month they laid
eighty and one half dozen, and we
do not have the time or the conven-
fences of an experimental farm, and
do not give our chickens all the diff
ferent kinds of feed they do at place
where they are conducting a contest.
Yet, if the readers of this article will
take their pencil and do little figur-
ing they will soon see how the chick
ems up here on the mountains COM
pare with those in the eastern part
of our state, or in warmer sections
than ours. And then again, those pens
at College Park are the pick of each
mans flock contesting while ours are
taken as whole flock, not so much
as being culled, but the flock just as
they were Matched. We do not have
the time to Gull them, neither do we
have any artificial heat in the houses.
One house that we did not get COM
pleted this fall has some bad cracks
in it, as we did not get any covering
over it, just the rough boards put up
and they have shrunk considerably.

AS the trigger spring on the gun
had become broken, the young men
propped the firearm against a rock
