NINE HURT WHEN
PORCH COLLAPSES
Ladies Fall Six Feet to Ground
Two We're More or Less Ser
iOusly Hurt

Two ladies were more or less SER
iously hurt when nine ladies, attend
ing the funeral of the late Charles C.
Cross, fell to the ground when a porch
in front of the residence gave way.
The more seriously injured ladies
are Mrs. ]. NJ. Falkenstein, and Miss
Julia Lawton, a nurse.
Those who escaped with slight in
juries are: Mrs. G. J. Altstetter, a
sprained wrist; Miss Marion Leary,
bruised ankles; Miss Elizabeth Leary,
sprained arm; Miss Louise Shreve,
scratches and bruises on face and leg;
Mrs. B. B. Nethkin, Mrs. Clyde Liller
and Mrs. Charles Dawson suffered
slight shocks from the accident, but
otherwise were not injured.
Mrs. Falkenstein is confined to her
bed suffering from a disorder in the
right side which was evidently caused
from blow by piece of timber. Her
condition is slightly improved.
Miss Lawton was probably the most
seriously injured of the ladies, and it
is said that several of the unfortu-
nate ladies fell upon her after she had
struck the ground under the porch.
She suffered many contusions about
the body.
The porch frame and roof remained
stationary, and when the floor went
down the women were helpless in eX-
tracing themselves because of the
wall on all sides of them, and it was
not until door, which opens under
the porch was opened that the women
were taken from their ENHANCEMENT
onto the lawn.
The floor was elevated above the
lawn about six feet, and besides the
fall the ladies were further injured by
some heavy porch furniture falling in
on them.
The accident happened Immediately
after the casket containing the re-
mains of the deceased man had been
removed from the house, however, it
was necessary to remove the casket
by way of side door and fortunately
the body was not conveyed across the
porch.

Oakland-ThOmas Road Recon-
mended By Commissioners

A majority of the members of the
County Commissioners recommended
to the State Roads Commission of
Maryland that the money available
for improved roads in Garrett county
this year be expended on the road
running from the Red House to the
West Virginia line, at which point an
improved road leading to Thomas,
Davis, and by the end of the summer
to Elkins, West Va, begins.
Since but little more than two miles
of improved roads can be built in Gar
rett county this year it was thought
by a majority of the board that it
would be of value to a greater num-
Der of people to use the funds on one
stretch Of road than to divide the
mileage in different sections of the
county.

A Bit Of Family History.

The recent death of Mr. Henry
Shaffer, better known as "Chip,'
marked the passing of the last of the
third generation of the Shaffer fam
lily, which originally settled at Brook
side, W. Va, in 1888. His grandfath-
er, Adam Shaffer, came from Wash
ington county, Md, and was on his
way to the Ohio country, but after
he had started he found that his
money in the form of Revolutionary
script had become worthless.
John Hoye, who had patented a
large tract of land in Preston county,
happened to meet him and believing
that he would make a valuable ad-
dition to the German settlement, es-
tablished the year before about what
is now known as Aurora, W. Va,
offered him a tract of 100 acres for
the equivalent of 500, and gave him
a deed in fee before cent was paid
Adam Shaffer's wife was the
daughter of John Wotrlng, one of the
original members of the settlement
Wotring evidently came originally
from Chester county, Pa, for Thomas
Starchman, the historian of Preston
county, relates that Mrs. Adam Shat
fer would often tell with pride that on
the day of the battle of Brandywine
September II, 1777, her grandfather
was in the American army, her grand
mother Wotring and Aunt Bingham
raked and set up buckwheat, while
her mother moulded bullets for the
army. The moulds she used on that
occasion are, or were few years ago.

Car Found With Three Tires
and Rim Missing

The Ford touring car owned by
Postman Robert Hoffman and used by
him to deliver parcel post on his
route in the town was stolen from in
front of his home sometime during
Sunday night and driven to Mt. Lake
Park where it was found Monday
with three tires and three rims miss
ing.
Bobby" thought someone was play
ing practical joke on him when he
missed his "inspiration" on Monday
morning, but he changed his mind
when he was notified that the car had
been stripped of its most valuable
parts. The Ford was S75 one when
he bought it several months ago, and
the tires that were taken from the
wheels were new ones, and with the
rims were worth about $40.

Oakland And Aurora To Hold
Track Meet

Arrangement have been made for a
dual track meet between the High
school track teams of Oakland and
the Aurora High schools, to take
place at Aurora on April goth.
The teams will follow the preced-
ent established between the two
schools in the last few years and
each will bear their own expenses. No
admissions to the event will be
charged, since the date is one set for
public school day exercises at Aurora.
The only requirement for eligibility
to be an entrant is that he be a bona
fide student in good standing and I'M
der 81 years of age.
The morning of the 10Th will be
taken up by the school exercises of
the Union district grade schools of the
vicinity of Aurora. The events will
start at 2:30 p. M, and will consist
of all the usual events, except the
hurdles; that is, there will be the 100
yard dash, 220 yard dash, 440 yard
dash, $50 yard run, and the mile run,
pole vault, high jump, broad jump,
shot put, hammer throw and javelin
throw. Some of these events will be
new experiences for both teams, so
that any unevenness will be balanced.
There will be no relay races since this
event does not usually count for
points.
The first three places in each event
will count for points on a 5-3-1 basis.
In addition to the dual track meet
there will be meet of the grade
schools of Union district only, includ-
ing dashes and runs for the boys and
girls, running broad jumps for the
boys, and base ball throws for the
