He turned the truck abruptly to the
left but not enough to swing it entire
ly clear of the tracks.
Bowman was thrown clear of the
truck and landed on the running board
along the side of the locomotive. He
received a badly bruised right side,
leg and arm, but no bones were brok-
en-. Lester Bittinger, driver of the

SEVERAL ARE INJURED IN
COLLISION ON SATURDAY
PlayfOrd GlOtfelty Has Leg
BrOken-Others Shaken Up

Playford Glotfelty had his leg
broken near the hip, and a number of
others were badly bruised and shaken
as a result of a collision between a
Ford coupe owned by Dave Shuttles-
worth and occupied by his brother
Garrett, and a Chevrolet sedan, about
one mile north of Oakland late Satur-
day night.
Edward Glotfelty received cuts
about his knees, while Miss Foye, also
an occupant of the Chevrolet, was I'M
hurt. Shuttlesworth was badly bruised
but no bones were broken.
The two cars collided with such
force that both are complete wrecks.
The Chevrolet, which was struck on
the right side, resembles a round
house curve, according to people who
saw it, while the right side of the
Ford was mashed. A piece of the Ford
front bumper pierced the right front
steel rim due to the speed which both
were travelling when they collided.
The two Glotfelty boys, sons of
Samuel Glotfelty, McHenry, and Miss
Foye were taken to their homes fol-
lowing the accident, and Shuttles-
worth was taken to his brothers
home in Oakland.

PERSON is FOUND GUILTY
OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT
Charges of Disturbing Public
Worship Lodged Against Six

One person was found guilty of
disorderly conduct, and one was ac-
quilted at hearing Tuesday after
noon before Justice w. A. Gender.
Both were said to have disturbed re-
ligious worship at Manadier Ridge
church on July 7, H. C. Kiped, Pente-
costal minister, made the charges.
John Bittinger was fined SIS and
costs for his part in the affair while
Stanley Stanton was acquitted, due to
lack of discriminating evidence, JUS
tice Gender stated. 1t was brought
out in the trial that Stanton and Bit
finger were having difficulties of their
own some distance from the church
and that the first intimation the con-
gregation had of any alterations was
when some person entered the church
and told about it. Several people
were then said to have left the church,
causing the disturbance.
Bittinger, prior to this incident,
was said to have had words with the
minister, in front of the church, and
it was upon this evidence that his
fine was imposed.
John Bittinger and five others are
also scheduled for a hearing before
Justice Gender on Friday on the
same charge, alleged to have taken
place on September a. The charges
were brought by G. H. Custer, mem
Der of the Manadier church. The five
others involved include Fred Stein,
Alfred Bittinger, Elmer Bittinger,
Thomas Hoover, and Ebert Wilt.

WHITE WAY PROPOSITION
IS TABLED BY COUNCILMEN
Number of Citizens and BUSH
ness Men Object to New Street
Lighting Proposition
TO COME UP NEXT MARCH

The motion for White Way for
Oakland was tabled at the adjourned
meeting of the Mayor and Town
Council, held Monday evening in the
City hall. This was due to the num-
Der of citizens and business men who
stated that they were opposed to the
measure.
Only the Mayor and council menu
bers were present at the meeting on
Monday, but the opinions of the busi-
ness men had been heard throughout
the week, and council decided to table
the motion until March, 1881, when
the town election will be held, at
which time the question will be placed
on the ballot, for adoption or rejection
by the people as whole. ...
The proposition called for the erec-
ton of 80 A00-Watt bulbs on Cedar
poles, along Second street, Alder
street, and Third street, in the BUSH
ness section Of town, the cost of erec-
ton, fixtures, ETC., to be borne by the
Monongahela West Penn Public Ser
vice company. The lights were to be
rs feet apart along the streets, with
four lights at the intersection of Sec
ond and Alder streets. The additional
cost to the town would have been
about $57 each month.
The decision on Monday was the
second time the White Way question
had been settled unfavorably, the mo-
ton having been before the council in
July of 1927. Citizens opposed to the
measure gave as their reasons the
large investments already in streets,
fire equipment, etc., and were favor
ing reduction of taxes.
Those in favor Of the White Way
felt that the increased attractiveness
of the town by the addition of the
lights would more than pay for the
monthly expenses by the greater num-
Der of people attracted to the town.

Friday and Saturday, October "a and
Is, has been announced by John H.
Carter, county agent, and shows a
total of $87 in prizes.
"Prizes are not being offered to
compensate for expenses and trouble
of making exhibits but to show appre-
citation to exhibitors who cooperate
to help make the show a success"
Mr.. Carter said. "It is hoped that all
potato growers in the county will at
tend the show and do all they can to
promote the potato industry. There
will be specialist at the show each
day who will discuss problems per-
tanning to potato growing"
There will be no entry fee, accord
ing to the premium list. Exhibits
may be sent to the county agent and
must be in his hands by noon, October
%.

in the clubs, whose potatoes have
passed certifcation requirements are
eligible to compete in the certified

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
offering a number of prizes, totaling

potato club and the two second year
potato clubs. The basis of award for
these prizes will be based on the yield
on one-half acre, the cost of produc-
ton per bushel, and the exhibit.
Because of exceptional interest
shown in the potato industry and the
fact that potatoes were not ready to
dig and exhibit at the Agricultural
fair, it was deemed advisable to hold
a potato show for educational pur-
poses.
A banquet will be held Friday night
by the Rotary club for the members
of the Boys potato clubs and their
dads, at the William James hotel. All
members are expected to be present
at the banquet. F. P. Bomberger,

Records Discovered by John
Murphy, Operator, Show Inter-
esting Things About Oakland

A number of records of 1883 and
1884 of the Baltimore and Ohio Tele-
graph company have been found by
John Murphy, operator, recently
transferred from the Oakland office to
Terra Alta, and number of interest
ing things relating to Oakland dis
covered.
Many of the messages sent through
the Terra Alta Office, then known as
Cranberry, W. Va, are private ones
sent by number of Oakland people,
but others were news dispatches, sent
to the Baltimore American concern
ing Garrett county elections, etc.
That the messages were sent
through Cranberry, W. Va, disproves
the thought that Oakland had not
been without a telegraph Office since
the Baltimore and Ohio tracks were
laid in 1852 until the closing of the
Office a few weeks ago. All messages
from Oakland at that time were sent
through The Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph company at Cranberry.
There was no such organization
known as the Western Union.
A dispatch sent in to the Balti-
more American on November Z, 1888,
concerning an election carried the fol-
lowing names: Republican candidates:
