Mountain Lake Park POstOffice
Robbed Again Monday Night

The seemingly regular occurrence
happened again last Monday night
when the Mountain Lake Park post
office was robbed. Several parcel post
packages were rifed of their contents
and raincoat belonging to Postmas-
ter Herbert Leighton was stolen.
1t has been the custom of the
thieves at previous robberies, accord
ing to Mr.. Leighton, for them to take
a sweater, but this time the rob-
Der evidently passed up the opportu-
nifty and took the rain coat in
stead of the usual sweater. Officers
were notified as soon as the robbery
was discovered and with his blood
hound Sheriff Casteel responded to the
call, but no clue as to the identy
of the person or persons guilty has
been found.

TWO SERIOUSLY INJURED
in WRECK AT CROSSING
Automobile Runs Into Moving
Freight at Weber About 700
O'clock Sunday Evening.

Two men were seriously injured and
two others were badly bruised and cut
when a Willys-Knight sedan in which
they were riding ran into a moving
westbound freight train at Weber's
crossing, a mile east of Oakland last
Sunday evening at seven o'clock.
The injured are:
Ollie Smith, sheriff of Pendleton
county, West Va, who retires from
office on January LIST, broken ribs, a
punctured lung, cuts and bruises.
c. D. Harper, assistant cashier of a
bank at Circleville, Pendleton county,
West Va, cut across forehead, a pune
ture of his upper lip, and other cuts
and bruises about his face and body.
Hugh Hedrick, garageman, Frank
lin, Pendleton county, driver of the
car, minor bruises and cuts and a
bruised side.
Andrew Eye, Franklin, sheriff ELECT
of Pendleton county, the least serious
injured of the four, very slight cuts
and bruises, although his clothing was
almost completely torn from his body.
The four men were en- route to their
homes from Weston, West Va, where
they had taken an insane man earlier
during the day. Being strangers in
this section they were unaware of the
location Of the railway tracks and
while they saw the blinker light at
the point where it was recently erect
ed by the railway company one of
the party stated that he thought it
marked q crossroads. A terrific snow
storm was raging at the moment the
car was approaching the tracks and
this may have been a contributing
cause for the accident. The train was
moving at the usual rate of speed and
when the driver realized his position
he stated that he turned his car to the
left and after striking the train it
was carried for some distance.
The injured men were brought to
town by passing motorists and were
given surgical aid at the Office of DR..
| McComas. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Harper
were sent to the Western Maryland
Hospital in Cumberland on Monday
morning, while the other members of
the party went to their homes from
Keyser, at which point they were met
by friends.
The automobile was almost COM
pletely demolished.
