CARS BADLY SMASHED UP
IN SUNDAY COLLISION
Large Type Cars Met on Crellin
Highway in Sidewipe Accident

A collision on the State highway
between Oakland and Crellin Sunday
afternoon turned out disastrously for
the two cars, but rather fortunately
for the occupants, according to those
who saw the mishap.
A Studebaker touring car, owned
and driven by ]. B. Funkhouser, of
Hamilton, W. Va, was damaged con-
siderably about the left front, the
axle and frame being handy bent, the
radiator demolished and one wheel en-
tirely torn away, and other less i'm
portant parts more or less broken
up and carried away by the impact.
The other car, a Cadillac sedan,
driven by L. H. Paulger, Of Georgia,
had all four tenders ruined and the
body badly damaged, besides wrecking
to a large extent the rear truck and
driving machinery.
None of the occupants of either car
were injured, but the damage result
ing to the two cars will amount to
several hundred dollars. Both cars
are being repaired in Oakland.
Mr.. Funkhouser, driving the Stude-
baker, took all the blame for the &C
cident upon himself, attributing it to
the result of having poor brakes.

A three-hour inspection of the cool
ing and shipping station of the new
creamery at Moorefeld, West Va, and
several of the barns in the immediate
vicinity of the town, was made by a
party of Oakland people Tuesday af-
ternoon of this week. The inspection
"trip was more of an educational mat
ter and has to do with the establish
ment in this community of the pro-
posed new milk and cream shipping
station here in Oakland. The party
was accompanied on their inspection
by L. R. Grover, manager of the plant
at Moorefeld, and representative of
the Supplee- Wills-Jones Company.
The shipping station was first in
spected, along with records of farmers
who supply the milk for the plant
where it was found that the amount
of milk shipped had risen from 400
gallons in October, 1926, when the
dairy started operations, to 1892 gal
Ions on Monday, August Is, 1927.
From the dairy plant the party
went to several farms in the commu-
nifty where the barns, built originally
for the accommodation of beef cattle,
but which had been converted into
dairy barns with the installation of
the new plant at Moorefeld, were ex-
amined and commented upon.
Those making the trip from Oak
land were J. L. McGlone, county
agent; D. R. Sincell, of The Republi-
can; Raymond Houck, w. Marlin Wy
ant, Carl Frazee and Frank Rhea,
consulting engineer, of Washington,
D. c., who was a guest of the party.
Conditions at this creamery only
show more forcibly just what can be
done for Garrett county if new milk
shipping station should locate here
Mr.. McGlone said. "There isn't a bit
of doubt in my mind but what it can
be put over with the greatest success u

son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Meyer, of
near Wilson, West Va, is in the Gar
rett County Jail and is being held
without bond to await the action of
the grand jury to convene in Deem
Der, following the serving of warrants
charging him with drunkenness and
with abusing and OBTAINING Mamie
Steringer, daughter of Joseph Sterin-
ger, of Bayard, West Va, in an auto
mobile on Tuesday night of last week.
Meyer was arrested on Wednesday
morning by Constable Cecil Rulings
and w. I. F. Blackburn, on warrant
sworn out by Joseph Steringer before
Justice M. F. Williams, of Gormania,
West Va. Meyer was taken to Cor
mania where he was given hearing
before Justice Williams. Meyers
mother appeared at the hearing and
asked for a continuance until Thurs
day, stating that her desire was to
have competent legal representatives
at the preliminary trial.
Bond was fixed and furnished in the
sum of $500 and Meyer was released.
The alleged crime having been COM
mitted in Maryland, the proceedings
in West Virginia were held to be lille
gal, and on Wednesday afternoon Con-
stable Blackburn and the girls father
came to Oakland and laid the mat
ter before States Attorney Julius C.
Renninger. Upon the information of
Steringer and Constable Blackburn a
second warrant for the arrest of
Meyer was issued, in which he was
charged with having criminally as

himself open to a white slave charge.
The girl in the case is about nine
teen years of age.

the following schools for the coming

Inskeep, Gregg, Grove, Weir, Yough
Lake-Moved and Walnut Bottom.
