BROWNINGSTO BROADCAST
FROM KDKA SATURDAY
Garrett COunty's Premier Fid-
dlers Will Go To Pittsburgh
And Play That Night.

Sponsored by Messrs G. A. Fraley
& Sons, merchants, and by Kerins
Bros, owners of the Kerins' Garage
in Oakland, both of which firms have
shown considerable enthusiasm in the
KDKA, Pittsburgh, member of the
Fraley firm will leave Oakland Satur-
day morning for Pittsburgh, accom-
panied by Messrs. Abel and Thomas
Browning, old-time fiddlers, and John
Browning, harpist, who is a nephew
of the fiddlers, and at 7:30 the trio
will broadcast their program from the
Pittsburgh station under direction Of
the management of the Stockmen's
Exchange studio in East Pittsburgh.
The program will be on from the hour
above stated until ten o'clock.
In order that many persons in Gar
rett county who do not have radio
outfits in their homes, several private
owners have arranged to install their
sets at central points. Messrs. Kerins'
Bros. will have one of their high class
outfits at the Hall of the Sunnyside
Grange, at Fraley's store and also
at their place of business on Green
street in Oakland.
The Messrs. Browning appeared at
the Maryland Theatre in Oakland on
Monday night where they entered a
contest with the Fiddlhg Mountains
GERS of Kentucky and Tennessee and
in which the local musicians were pro-
claimed easy winners, Abel Browning
receiving first prize and Thomas J.
Browning second prize.
These two are the surviving MEM
bers Of a family of six sons of the
late John l.. Browning, each of whom
were violin players of prominence in
Garrett county. When all together
the six brothers would play together
and produced music so closely in uni
son that it appeared that one great
instrument only was being played.
They are unable to read a note of
music but can play any violin number
upon hearing it executed once. It is
said of them that once a noted Ger
man violin professor heard the broth
ers play and he was so impressed with
their peculiar style of harmonics that
he asked them to allow him to learn
their execution. The music master
was invited to visit their big and hos
pitable home where, he said, he would
remain a few days to learn what they
knew. His visit lasted four months
and then the professor said that he
had accomplished some of their Pc
culiar technique.

AKLAND, MARYLAND, MARCH 18, 1926
FEDERAL AGENT HARVEY
HAS A NARROW ESCAPE
Still, Containing First-Run Liq-
uOr, Exploded When He At
tempted to Destroy 1t.

Prohibition Agent William R. Har-
vey narrowly escaped serious injury
yesterday afternoon when 200-gal-
Ion still, which he attempted to de-
stroy, located in the woods near the
village of Henry, Garrett county, ex-
ploded and flames fifteen feet high
shot into the air. Harvey escaped
with bruises, received when he fell
over a pump as he jumped backward
to escape the flames. Henry is located
about fifteen miles south of Oakland
on the Western Maryland Railway.
Harvey and Agents c. D. Jarvis and
H. R. Stotler went to Henry yesterday
from Cumberland and after doing a
little scouting found the huge plant
in operation. Believing the still was
filled with mash, Harvey chopped a
hole in the side of it, whereupon the
first-run liquor, which it actually con-
tanned flowed down into the fire be-
meath it and caused the explosion. AS
a result of the blaze the shack con-
tanning the still and other parapher-
MALTA was completely destroyed.
The agents, in addition to the 200
gallon still discovered in operation,
also found a 40-gallon still, 80 bbls of
whiskey mash and 255 gallons of
moonshine liquor at the plant. A vat
of a thousand gallons capacity, and
containing 200 gallons of mash was
also discovered and destroyed.
Fory Whitmer and Philip Helbig,
who were said to be in charge of the
outfit when the officers arrived, were
arrested and taken to Cumberland
where they are being held at the po-
lice station for hearing today before
United States Commissioner Thomas
]. Anderson.
The two men, according to the fed
eral agents, stated that the plant cap
tured by them yesterday had been in
operation for two years. 1t was COM
plete in every detail and according to
Agent Harvey was one of the best
and largest outfits every seized in
this section.
The officers also stated that their
prisoners attempted to use twelve
guage pump-gun in the shack, but
they were taken so completely by sur
prise that they were unable to get
the gun in action.

DANA's NEWSPAPER

Charles A. Dana, who edited
the New York Sun, set down
these rules for the production of
a newspaper:
Get the news. Get all the
news, and nothing but the news.
Copy nothing from another
publication without perfect
credit.
Never print an interview with.
out the knowledge and consent
of the person interviewed.
Never attack the weak or de.
fenseless. either by argument, by
invective, or ridicule, unless
there is some absolute public
necessity for so doing.
Fight for your opinions, but
do not believe they contain the
whole truth or the only truth.
Above all. know and believe
that humanity is advancing; that
there is progressfin human life
and affairs. And that as sure as
God lives the future will be
greater and better than the pre-.
sent or the past.
A word that is not spoken or
written never does any mischief.
All the goodness of good egg
cannot make up for the badness
of bad one
If you find you have been
wrong, don't fear to say so.
