WANDERING NEGRO, NUDE,
DISCOVERED NEAR LAKE
Man Said He Couldn't Remem-
Der Where His Clothes Were

Probably believing himself back in
the wilds of Africa where snow is
unknown and clothes are as scarce,
Gus Grimm, Negro, about 80 years
old, was found Friday morning wan
dering in the fields along Deep Creek
Lake near Thayerville, minus cloth
ing, and he says he doesn't remember
how he got there, why he was there
or where his clothes are.
He was found on the Andy Miller
property and was brought to Oakland
and turned over to Sheriff w. D. Cas-
teel, who made an investigation but
found nothing that would warrant the
detention of the man.
The Negro was quite large, had sew
eral scars on his body and had but one
eye. 1t was thought that he was the
man wanted by West Virginia authori-
ties for a murder committed several
years ago near Kingwood and for pur-
poses of identification an officer from
the West Virginia Penitentiary at
Moundsville came to Oakland to look
him over but failed to identify him as
the man wanted.
Grimm told the Sheriff that he was
from Philadelphia and was on his way
to Morgantown, West Va. He also
said that he had been shot through the
eye some years ago and at times he
apparently lost his mind as the result
of the wound. 1t is supposed that he
was in this condition Friday morning
when found along the lake shore be-
cause he failed to remember how he
got there, where he had put his cloth
ing or any occurrence the night be-
fore.
He was released from custody Mon
day morning on condition that he
leave the county. He Immediately left,
going in the direction of Morgantown.

1881 TRIED THEIR LUCK IN
DEEP CREEK THIS YEAR
Total of 1874 Fishing Licenses
Issued During the Season.

One thousand, one hundred and
eighty-one persons availed themselves
of the privilege of fishing in the wat
ers of Deep Creek Lake during the
season which ended at midnight on
August Is, according to the records
at the Clerks office in Oakland, where
such licenses are issued.
The figures obtained show that ap-
proXimately seven hundred fewer fish
ermen lined the shores of the lake
this season than last year, which was
the first year that special permit
was required. More boat licenses,
however, were issued this year and
this fact points to the probable in
crease in the future in this sport.
Licenses were issued for 81 boats
this year, while last year there were
but twelve.
Total of 1874 Licenses Issued
Including the 493 fishing licenses
lIdG nave DcSl lSSueQ lOI Tie pIlNllGS
of fishing in all streams in the county,
a total of 1874 licenses were issued
during the current year. This nets the
State about $3,065.5O, or a slight in
crease over last year.
Resident State licenses for all OF
the streams, excluding Deep Greek
Lake, totalled 42S at one dollar each;
Deep Creek Lake, for resl@ents of
Garrett county, 938, at $1.25 each;
Deep Creek Lake. for non-residents of
the State, 1899 at $5.25 each; Deep
Greek Lake, for residents of Mary
land, but non-residents of Garrett
county, "a, at S275 each; non-resi-
dent anglers licenses, IS, at S. each.
Since the opening of the fishing sea-
son many trout ranging from Is to %
inches have been caught by the for
tunate anglers of the waters of Deep
Creek Lake and other streams, and
it is expected that next year there
will be another rush for licenses.

Warming the cookies of John
d. O'Reillys heart are two
athletes at Georgetown this
winter who have not only at
tracted attention here in their
try-outs but who are being
looked upon in other centers of
track and field activity to be
heard from in approaching COM
petition.
While Washington has been
singing the praises for some
time of Karl Wildermuth and
Eddie Hector, short and long
distance men respectively, the
two are now beginning to get
quite a tumble around New
York which is right now a hot
bed of indoor running.
Bernie Wefers, former George
town track ace, and at the mo-
ment coach of the New York
Athletic Club, saw Karl Wilder
muth do the 100-meter event in
IL seconds at the Brooklyn
games last Saturday and this
week is out with a prediction
that WiIdermuth will win the
1OO-meter race in the Olympics
at Amsterdam this summer.
The opinion of the senior
Wefers in such things is more
than important because the
wise acres of track sports have
been insisting that Charles
Borah, of Southern California,
just about had that event sewed
up, so promising have been his
performances in preparation
for the Olympics. Wefers and
Arthur Duffy were just about
the fastest Georgetown has
flashed in it's entire track his
tory, and many who remember
their feats have recalled them
while watching Wildermuth step
through his PAGES.
Equally impressive, too, has
been the showing Of Eddie Hoe

tor. In Eddie, New York spec
tators recognized a track 1un1i-
nary during the Georgetown
lads thrilling race against the
New York University ace, Phil
Edwards, in Saturdays Brook
lyn games. Phil Edwards so
happens to be the national half
mile champion, and Hector, on
the anchor leg of the one-mile
relay pressed the champion to
his limit of his speed and
power, and otherwise matched
him stride for stride, right
down to the finish.
So close a duel between them
developed that it completely
overshadowed the victory of
Lloyd Hahn in the special 1000
as we'll as the spectacular con-
quest of Joe Tierney in the
special 900, the two advertised
feature of the evenings pro-
gram.
BY the time Harold Phillips
gets out of the dangerous ward
and back to his dust-covered
keyboard, he may have to re-
view show in which the hand
soonest champion of them all,
Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia
light heavyweight king, is
starred.
Philadelphia folks do say
Tommy has fallen for the foot
lights and will essay a vaude-
vile splash as soon as he re-
turns from his tour of the Carib-
bean. His act will be a mono
logue.
He's not a bad talker in an
interview, but how he'll go talk
ing to himself is another shoe
for the foot. BY nature some
thing of an Adonis, Loughran
isn't the least likely of sport
celebrities to make good in the
sock and buskin. Oh, well, the
