Fire DemOlishes Engine Cab.

Fire, resulting from an overheated
fire box, almost entirely consumed the
cab on the locomotive which is now
being operated by the Browning Lum-
Der company, last evening about 8:15
o'clock, one mile west of town. The
engine was formerly used by the Cen
eral Construction corporation in the
construction of Deep Creek Dam.
The Oakland Fire department re-
sponded to the call and extinguished
the blaze by the use of the chemical
wagon. About $1O0 damage resulted,
which is covered by insurance. Frank
Browning, of Oakland, operates the
engine over the road and stated that
it was his opinion that there was too
much fire in the fire box, which blow
ing out from under the CRATES, ignited
oil and grease about the engine which
in short time found it's way to the
wooden cab. The locomotive was
standing along the track for the night
and was not attended by its operator
at the time of the blaze.

CAR RUNS WILD AND GOES
THROUGH OAK ST. FENCE
Wrecking Porch at Residence of
Joseph Wolfe, Thursday

Damage estimated at 500 was done
the home property of Joseph Wolfe,
on Oak street, last Thursday when
Melville Cochrane, of Clarksburg, W..
Va, who is spending the summer at
Mountain Lake Park, unavoidably ran
his car, a Diana Eight, through the
fence and up on the porch, smashing
several chairs, a porch swing, a win
dow and window sill and three wooden
pillars supporting the porch roof.
The car driven by Mr.. Cochrane,
who is a retired Army officer, had ev-
identity gone off the edge of the con-
crete, according to eye witnesses, and
in turning back in an effort to gain
the roadway the car swerved and I'M
der power turned sharply to the left,
shooting across the street, over the
gutter and pavement fronting the
residence and on to the porch with
results above recorded.
Instead of applying the brake, as
was his intention, Capt. Cochrane said
that he inadvertently stepped on the
accelerator. The roadway was wet
at the time, which fact did not retard
the progress of the car.
In payment of the damage sustained
by Mr.. Wolfe, Capt. Cochrane made
a satisfactory settlement. Fortunately
no one was injured and the car was
only slightly damaged.

INJURED WOMAN TELLS
HOW SHE WAS KIDNAPPED
Mrs. Edward Swartz, ScOttdale,
(Pa.) Found Unconscious FRI
day Along State Road

Suffering from a fracture of the
skull, sustained when she was thrown
from speeding car by her kidnapers
a ia point on the Observation-Disclosures
dale highway, about three miles from
the Stone House farm, Mrs. Edward
L. Swartz, 35, of Scottdale, Pa, who
has been in the Miners Hospital at
Frostburg since Saturday Morning,
yesterday morning became sufficiently
improved to tell her story of the af-
fair. The blow has apparently cloud
ed her memory as she has not been
able to give officers a very coherent
account of the attack.
Sheriff w. D. Casteel was called
early Thursday morning and advised
of the mishap, which occurred about
one mile from the Pennsylvania State
line in Garrett county. Two diamond
rings and money are said to have been
stolen, which is believed by the au-
thorities to be the chief cause of the
attack.
With her husband, who is a barber
of Scottdale, Pa, at her bedside, Mrs.
Swartz told the following story:
81 had just left our home in Scott
dale, on my way to the railroad sta
ton when l felt someone grab my
shoulders. l tried to jerk away but
the man or men who held me began
to choke me. Then l felt myself being
dragged into an auto. l tried to
scream, but the fingers about my
throat pressed tighter, and every
thing went black just as the auto
mobile began to move"
The woman does not remember be-
ing beaten. Sheriff Casteel and
Sergt. George P. Gearhart, of the
state police, who are investigating the
case, plan to question the woman fur
Their later in the week when she will
be sufficiently recovered to undergo
a thorough investigation.
1t was at first thought that the wo-
man was refusing to talk, in order to
shield the driver of the car from
which she either fell or was thrown.
Her husband has been at her bedside
ever since he was advised by hospital
authorities of the accident. They were
married in 1912, the husband said,
and have fourteen year old son. He
said that they had been happily we'd
ded.

CREATING DISTURBANCE
CAUSES MANS DETENTION
James Conneway Acts Queerly
on Street and Was Placed in
Jail for Mental Examination

Creating a disturbance on Second
street in Oakland by dancing and the
performance of other queer antics,
caused the arrest of James Conneway,
farmer, of near Red House, early on
Monday morning by Sheriff VIM. D.
Casteel and Deputy Sheriff Joy Grit
fifth. He was taken before Justice w.
A. Gender, who ordered that he be
held in the County Jail pending an ex-
animation into his mentality and
whether or not he was resident of
Maryland or of West Virginia.
Mr.. Conneway is about sixty years
of age and when taken in charge by
the officers was emerging from the
Garrett National Bank building where
it is said he went to consult an attor-
ney. He wore no coat and carried in
his hands piece of an automobile
spring and a small black bag. At the
request of several small children who
had followed the unfortunate man for
some time, he began to dance a jig
in front of the building when the Of
fcers stopped him.
At the hearing before Justice Con-
der he acted very queerly, answering
questions put to him and in turn ask
ing himself other questions and an
swering them Immediately. He had a
memorandum upon his person which
contained an outline of exactly what
he had to do and when to do it for two
or three days. According to Justice
Gender the hour for his arising was
stated upon the card as we'll as whom
he was to see during the day.
DR.. N. l. Broadwater, Oakland ply
sician, was present at the examina-
ton, and after asking a few questions
considered that the man was probably
harmless but nevertheless unbalanced.
The man is remembered by many as
having been seen about Oakland and
vicinity for number of years, but &C
cording to DR.. Broadwater his condi-
ton at this time seems to be worse
than previously. 1t was learned Tues
day that the man was a resident of
West Virginia and was therefore re-
leased on condition that he remain in
that State. He was seen in Oakland
however, this morning.

SEVENTH-INNING RALLY
WINS FOR OAKLAND CLUB
GilmOr Hamill, with Three Bag
ger, Makes Victory Possible.

A seventh inning rally, in which
Gilmor Hamill knocked a three-base
hit with two men on base, was the
cause of the downfall of Camp Terra
Alta Tuesday evening, who, up until
the end of the inning, led by to 1
score. The final score was 80, with
Oakland on the long end of the count.
The game was played on the old Oak
land Hotel grounds, where the base
ball diamond has been somewhat re-
paired.

Jaime Guardiola, Eugene Carney,
Harold Yutzy, and George Hanst.
Runs were scored by Guardiola, Car
ney and G. Hanst.
A return game at Lake Terra Alta
will be played tomorrow evening,
John Wolfe, captain, said today.
Diamond Repaired
Saturday and Monday evenings
were spent "skinning" the base lines
of the infield and erecting backstop,
the captain stated. The material for
the backstop and three balls has put
the team in debt to the extent Of
about ten dollars, but more than four
dollars of this will be paid off from
the proceeds of the game on Tues
day, according 70 the treasurer.
The team expects to play two games
each week-one at home and one
away. Deer Park, which was not
mentioned in last weeks Republican
as having a nine, has requested that
they be allowed to enter the league.
'The more the merrier," Manager
Wolfe said, when he learned of the re-
quest.

MUST Sell YOURSELVES"
BURRUSS TELLSROTARIANS
Inspirati0nal Sales Counsellor
Spoke Before Oakland Rotary
Club Friday Evening.

Everyone is salesman and must
sell himself to other people," stated
w. B. Burruss, inspirational sales
counsellor, in talk given before the
Oakland Rotary Club at its weekly
luncheon at the William-James Hotel
last Friday evening. The first sales
man ever to put in an appearance was
William Shakespeare, according to
MIR. Burruss.
Mr.. Burruss, who lives in Kansas
City, Missouri, and Washington, D. c.,
also ha sa summer home on the road
from Oakland to Table Rock, near
Mason school house, called "Love
Nest" and has invited the members
of the Rotary Club to hold one of their
next two meetings at his home. Mrs.
Burruss and daughter were also pres
ent at the meeting last Friday even
ing, who, with the speaker, were the
honor guests of the organization. The
address of Mr.. Burruss was an excep-
tionally telling one and was listened
to attentively by all present.
Mr.. Burruss took as his topic
shakespeare as Salesman" He
first showed how the doctor, the bust
ness man, the professional man, in
fact everybody, had to sell his service
and be his own salesman. Everything
that one did was part of his sales
manship and it was up to each lndl-
vidual whether he sold himself or not.
He took Brutus, Caesar and Marc
Anthony as examples of the high
quality of craftsmanship. When Bru-
tus gave his speech defending his kill
ing of Caesar in the market place
he was selling himself and his idea to
the people. And when Marc Anthony
got up and delivered his speech over
the dead body of Caesar defling Bru-
tus for his act, he was only selling his
side of the question to the people OF
Rome.
) An application to good salesman
ship was taken from the point in An
thongs Grafton when he said, Pause
a minute" Mr.. Burruss said that a
pause in the process of craftsmanship
was necessary also, so that the other
fellow would have a chance to have
his say. Too many people failed, he
said, by never allowing the other fell
low to get in word. Application OF
the principles of honesty, patience,
etc., were also taken from the oratlons
of these two ancient Romans.
Other features of the evenings en-
tertainment were several selections by
the Male Quartet of Oakland, compos-
ed of Messrs. Wade Hinebaugh, Cecil
Smith, Walter Dawson and Jesse j.
Ashby, with Bill Gibson at the piano.
