Three Russians Injured in Auto Wreck

evening, Oh IHe National highway dL
Shade Mills, Immediately in front of
the home of William Turner a large
Jordan roadster was wrecked by col
lision with telephone pole. The car
overturned and seriously injured the
three occupants, who, it is claimed,
are Russians from Morgantown, W.
Va. They were eXtricated from the
wreck by Prof. NJ. w. Whiteford, who
is managing Mr.. Turner's farm dur
ing his absence in the west, and sew
eral other men standing nearby, and
Immediately removed them to hos
pital in Meyersdale, Pa. 1t is report
ed that one man had fracture of the
temple and that the others We're not
seriously injured. However, later in
formation seems to indicate that all
were more or less seriously hurt. The
machine was travelling east at ter
rife speed and for some reason the
driver failed to keep it in the road.
The impact with the pole was so great
that it broke off beneath the ground
and brought the cross-arms on the
top of the pole down also. The ma
chine, following its striking of the
telephone pole stopped on top of
fence seventy-tive feet beyond the
point, it being upside down and en-
tirely demolished. The impact was
severe enough to throw the front axle
entirely clear of the car and burst
both front tires. The demolition of
the machine was complete. 1t is very
probable that the series of serpentine
curves at this point confused the op-
orator of the car who probably was
not familiar with the road.
Trimmed a Cadillac.
On Monday evening while travelling
east through town, near the Lutheran
church, William j. Wright attempted
to pass another car. The operator of
the latter car was working at tire
on the left side of the machine and
somewhat INSTRUCTED the road. Mr..
Wright attempted to pass and gave
him plenty of room, but in doing so
failed to properly estimate the speed
of an oncoming machine, resulting in
his not being able to get to the right
side of the road in time, when the
two machine came in collision, result
ing in badly damaged front fender
and the complete destruction of the
running board and rear fender of
new Cadillac. The damage to Mr..
Wright's Ford was a broken hub cap.
Mr.. Wright acknowledged being in
the wrong and made an immediate
settlement with the owner of the large
car.
Child Injured.
Last Wednesday, while playing on
a porch swing, Edison, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Lee W. burst, of near Mt.
Nebo, fell to the ground, severely
sprining his arm. 1t was thought to
be broken but an examination at the
Miners Hospital, Frostburg, by DR.. j.
C. Cobey, revealed a sprain. The in
jured arm was bandaged which is now
much better.
Resigned as Traffic Patrolman.
Victor B. Glessner, who for three
years has been traffic policeman on
the State highway through Brothers
Valley Township in Somerset county,
Pa, the main highway leading north
from the National Highway to Lake
Erie, resigned one day last week. The
officer had been under fire for over
year, for, it is claimed, being over
officious in the discharge of his duties
as patrolman. This leaves the road
open without a local man to make ar
rests, just as other portions of the
road have been, and now are. Much
favorable comment has been expressed
that this section of the road has been
freed from a local authority and left
to be looked after by the State con-
stabulary, just as other portions of
the State are. The drive from Oakland
to Johnstown, Pa, over this route is
a most beautiful one, all of the road
being in excellent condition, the num-
erous grades easy and with scenery
that cannot be equaled.
Hetrick- Bittinger.
Irwin Hetrick, a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Hetrick, of near Bittinger,
and Miss Mae Bittinger, a daughter
of Mr.. Harvey Bittinger, of near Jen-
nings, Garrett county, were quietly
married last Saturday evening. Mr..
Hetrick is employed at Listonburg,
Pa, and Mrs. Hetrick was employed
at the Victoria Hotel here.
Grantsville Boy Making Good.
The Industrial Committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday an
nounced that after negotiations cover
ing a period of two months, it has sue
ceeded in bringing to Johnstown a
new industry for the manufacture of
paper boxes. A lease has been signed
for the third floor of the Fearl build
ing, Railroad street, by the Friendly
City Box Company, and it is expected
the plant will be in operation about
August LIST. H. H. Yost is president
and general manager of the company,
which for number of years has been
doing business at Connellsville as the
Connellsville Box Company. The ma
chinery will be removed from the Con-
nellsville plant to that to be estab-
lished here and the Connellsville plant
will be abandoned, which led the man
agement to decide on the name by
which the company will be known
henceforth. A working force of ap-
proximately 20 will be employed at
the outset, according to an announce
ment, and the output of the company
will be increased to include more
varied line of boxes. The products of
the company at the Connellsville plant
have been known as setup boxes,
with a lid that is used by candy and
cigar companies. Now, besides con-
tinuing to serve the companies want
ing the setup type boxes, the Friend
ly City Box company plans to man.
