SHERIFFS GET FUGITIVE
AFTER LONG CHASE
U. S. Marshall Returns William
S. Cooper To County Jail
For 80 Days.

After a chase lasting for two days
and three nights, Sheriff Casteel and
his deputy, Joy Griffith, captured a
man by the name of Albert Walters,
who is wanted by the West Virginia
authorities for having jumped his
bond in that state after having made
an appeal to the higher courts when
he was convicted of transporting
liquor on big scale between Garrett
county, Md, and Preston and Taylor
counties, West Va.
1t is alleged that Walters has been
member of ring of bootleggers
operating between Maryland and
West Virginia for a year or more,
and when apprehended in Fairmont,
West Va, two months ago by the
State Police, he was given a hearing
before the court in that city and was
found guilty of possessing and trans
porting liquor. He appealed to the
higher courts and was given bond
awaiting the action of the court. In
the mean time, however, he escaped,
leaving his bondsmen to suffer the
costs, and it was through them that
the arrest was made here.
Sheriffs Casteel and Griffith learned
of the whereabouts of Walters and
trailed him to the Deep Greek Dam
section of the county, but due to al
legged Interference on the part of
some of the residents of that section,
his arrest was made difficult and it
was mot until after search had been
made in many residences that the
fugitive was apprehended.
Captain Myers, of the West Virgin
ia Police, came to Oakland on Sunday
and returned that day to Fairmont
with Walters.
Cooper Gets 80 Days.
United States Marshall Colner
brought to the County Jail, Monday
morning, William S. Cooper, who was
sentenced in the United States Court
to 90 days in the Oakland Jail for
manufacturing illicit liquor.

VIRGINIA AND w. VA.
TO BUILD NEW ROAD
Traffic Will Be Increased On I'm.
proved Roads In The County.

A new shortcut improved road
to the upper valley of Virginia and
Southern points, through Romney,
w. Va, is provided in an agreement
between the state highway commits
sions of Virginia and West Virginia.
The plan is to connect with the
National Pike and thus reach west
ern points via Cumberland, going
either through Uniontown, Pa, or
via Oakland and Terra Alta, w. Va.
The agreement to make this road
one of the connecting links between
West Virginia and Virginia, reached
by Governor Byrd and Governor
Gore at the recent Hot Springs con-
ference, has been approved by the
highway commissions and West Vir-
GINA will allocate the funds to build
its end of the road from Matthias to
the Virginia line in the famous
Brooks Gap country, a distance of
about sixteen miles.
Virginia itself has not so much
work to do to make the connection.
It's end of the new highway is COM
pleted within about three and one
half miles of the State line The
road passes through Brooks Gap, a
picturesque level plateau in the
mountains, and then taps the Valley
pike at Mausy, about twelve miles
north of Harrisonburg.
Virginia, however, is not going to
stop at the task of completing the
unfinished end of the highway. Plans
are now being made to widen the
road from Broadway to the Valley
pike. This section of the paved road
is now u feet. 1t is proposed to wild
en- the right of way to so feet and
extend the paved section from II to
IS feet, creating almost boulevard
on the eastern sector of the proposed
new highway.
The proposed two State highwaywill
pass through Shenandoah National
Forest and through the Brooks Gap
Game Reserve, a 5000 acre plot of
land in the two States which has been
set aside, for the breeding of deer
and other wild game in Virginia and
West Virginia. The game commits
sions of the two States are now work
ing Joint rules and regulations for
the control of this wild game pre-
serve An effort will be made to re-
populate the Shenandoah and Allie
ghany Mountain with deer in this pre-
serve.

Library Benefit A Financial
Success.

The motion picture given for the
benefit of the Garrett County Free
Public Library on Monday evening
at the Maryland Theatre was we'll
patronized, and the sum realized, in
GLIDING the sale of candy was $4,000.

to approximately $50. Owing to the
inclement weather, Mr.. Bernard l..
Gender, manager of the Theatre, re-
duced the rental IS.

of the candy selling, and Mr.. R. R.

the evening. Mr.. Gilbert played a
saXaphone solo. Wilmer Brown, of

and the "Scrap Iron" quartette pleas
ed the audience with the rendition of
several songs. Mrs. James P. Treacy
accompanied the quartet on the piano.
Mr.. Delbert Davis gave an inter-
esting talk on the need of free
public library in small community
as well as in a large one, and it is
hoped by the members of the library
board and others interested in the
library that the forceful remarks
which he made will put the progress
sive citizens to thinking of the good
large and well equipped library,
with text books as we'll as works of
fiction, would do for the community.
'Such library would do more good
to the rural schools and isolated farm
ing communities than the Ford auto
mobile" stated an enthusiast of the
library movement yesterday.
The library committee gratefully
acknowledges the following donations
from Mr.. H. l.. Miller, $500; Mrs. J.
D. Hamill, S1.5o; Mrs. C. V. Harvey,
$500; Mrs. N. l. Broadwater, $500
and Mr.. Horace Coddington, $500.
