GIRL RECEIVES FRACTURE
OF LEG IN AUTO MISHAP
Miss Burldene Sanders, Crellin,
Seriously Injured Sunday

Miss Burldene Sanders, aged Is, of
Crellin, daughter of Steve Sanders,
was seriously injured Sunday morn
ing near Gortner, when the Ford cou-
pc in which she was riding, crashed
head-on into another machine as an
attempt was being made to pass a
milk truck.
She received compound fracture
of the right thigh, and it is feared
that her arm was pulled out of place.
She also suffered a badly lacerated
chin. She was taken to the Western
Maryland hospital, Cumberland, fol-
lowing the accident where she was at
tended by DR.. W. A. Oracle. The frac-
ture is so serious that an operation
may be necessary to set it properly.
The Ford coupe was occupied by two
boys of Victor Kelly, Miss Sanders
and her cousin, and they were retur-
ming to Oakland when they attempted
to pass the milk truck. AS they drew
abreast of the truck, they met an
Oldsmobile touring car, occupied b.
W. W. Pierce, of Salem, W. Va, and
they clashed head-on. The machines
collided with such force that they had
to be pried apart with steel bars. Miss
Sanders was thrown from the car.
First Aid Rendered
George Kerins happened upon the
scene and he rendered first aid to the
injured girl. She was brought to Oak
land by Mr.. Blackburn, of Thomas,
where she received medical attention,
being taken to Cumberland later in
the day.
Her condition is still considered as
serious. None of the other occupants
of the cars was seriously hurt. The
Ford coupe was almost completely
demolished while the Oldsmobile was
only slightly wrecked.

ONLY TWO new PARALYSIS
CASESREPORTEDI NCOUNTY
"All Others are Suspicious Cases
and Have Not Matured," the
Health Officer Asserts.

With only two new cases of what
might for certainty be called infan-
tile paralysis in Garrett county dur
ing the past two weeks, there is no
cause whatever for panic among the
people" DR.. Henry W. McComas, pub
lie health officer for Garrett county
said yesterday evening. There have
been several suspicious cases with the
patients having some of the symp-
TOMS" he stated, "but it cannot be
said positively that they are cases of
infantile paralysis.
up to the present time there are
ten cases in the county that l would
call infantile paralysis. All other re-
ported cases are immature and may
be some other form of disease"
These statements were made by DR..
McComas to dispel any rumors that
may have become circulated as to the
prevalency of the disease.
wherever one goes he receives
inquiries about the town being quar-
antined; about the supposed fifty or
more cases existing and about the
great danger of others contracting
the disease" he said.
Only one of the ten cases in the
entire county has resulted in muscular
paralysis, according to DR.. McComas,
and the attending physician states
that this particular child is rapidly i'm
proving and may regain complete con-
troll of the affected parts.
Several homes have been quaran-
tined pending further developments
and in several other homes the cases
there are rather suspicious, but only
ten have been i'll with paralysis" he
repeated emphatically.
Health Board Meets.
The County Board of Health met
Monday evening and discussed the
danger of spread, etc, of the disease,
and decided that it would be best to
advise parents to keep their children
off the streets and from gathering in
public places. This is advised as a
precaution against the spread of the
disease.
Everything is being done to dag
nose the suspicious cases correctly and
to treat those cases which show de-
cided symptoms by administering a
serum, which has been done in a num-
Der of cases.
The paralysis seems to be prevalent
in various other sections of the coun-
try and is causing quite lot of dis
cussion. In Preston county, West Va,
which adjoins Garrett county on the
west, there are nine cases, according
to DR.. L. H. Lewis, public health Off
Ger of that county.
In the entire State of Maryland a
total of 152 cases is reported in the
Baltimore Sun of this morning, while
in the City of Cleveland (O) there are
nearly 300 cases.

BRIDEGROOM GETS COURT
ORDER TO GET HIS WIFE
Brides Father Refuses To Give
Her Over to Observation-Disclosures
Her at His MOrgantOwn Home

John Albert Hostutler wants his
wife; wants her if it takes writ of
habeas corpus ad subjiciendum what
ever that isl to get her-and he went
to the Circuit Court of Monongahela
county, West Va, Tuesday, for that
highly necessary paper and got it. He
hopes to get his wife Friday, when the
writ is returnable in the court of that
county.
According to the petition which
Hostutler presented to Judge l. Grant
Lazelle, Morgantown, through his at
torney, he was married on Monday,
August 20, to Helen Robey, Is years
and 10 months DID, by the Rev. Will
liam Anderson, of Mountain Lake
Park, at the NJ. E. parsonage in Oak
land, after having obtained the nee
essary license at the local court house.
Hustetler and his bride returned to
Morgantown the same day and TOOK
up their residence at the home of Rev.
c. W. Joseph in Jerome Park.
On the next day Mrs. Hostutler
went to the home of her father, John
Robey, to get her clothing and other
personal belongings. She was &C.
companied by Leila Joseph.
Father Detains Bride.
But on Reaching home, the court
petition sets out. the bride was met
with the fury of an outraged and irate
parent, who refused to permit her to
return to her newly acquired husband.
He detained her in a room, the peti-
ton sets forth, and has since refused
to permit her to leave the Robey house
or to return to her husband.
Accompanying Hostutler's petition
are affidavits by Leila Joseph and Rev.
Mr.. Joseph. The former describes her
visit to the Robey home in company
with Mrs. Hostutler, and declares that
the bride was restrained from leaving
the parental roof. Mr.. Joseph, in his
statement, says that he later went to
the Robey home, but was not permit
ted to see Mrs. Hostutler or to con-
verse with her and that Mr.. Robey de-
clared that he would never permit his
daughter to return to her husband.
Writ Returnable FRIDAY.
Judge Lazelle, after reading the pc
tition and the affidavits, entered an
order for the writ of habeas corpus
ad subjiciendum to issue, directing
Robey to bring the body of his daugh-
ter before the court next Friday and
then show cause why he is restraining
her from returning to her husband.
The bridegroom was in Oakland on
Tuesday where he secured from the
Clerk of the Circuit Court a certifi-
cate showing that the marriage cere
mony between the parties had been
performed by a regularly ordained
minister and according to the laws of
Maryland.

Bayard Is Without Water.

The mining town of Bayard, W. Va,
on the Western Maryland Railway,
IL miles south of Oakland, is with
out water, and the situation is becom-
ing acute. The large reservoir is dry
and the smaller one is unable to fur
nish sufficient to supply the town.
The local ice plant has been I'M
able to operate on account of the pres
ent shortage which leaves the town
without ice.
While there has been considerable
rainfall, the large reservoir does not
fill. Some think the coal has been
dug from beneath the spring used.
