STATE OFFICER CURRIE is
BADLY INJURED IN NISHAP
Found In Unconscious Condition
Along Highway Near Havre de
Grace-Well Known Here

Corporal Thomas Currie, of the
State police, is in critical condition
at the Havre de Grace Hospital from
injuries received Monday while he
was attempting to overtake a truck
which figured in an accident on the
Philadelphia road. He had recently
been granted a six-month furlough
to visit his widowed mother in Scot
land and had planned to sail on Oc-
tober 1.
DR.. Charles ]. Foley, who is at
tending the officer, said he had con-
cussion of the brain, fractured
right collar bone, a fractured right
shoulder, four or five broken ribs and
internal injuries.
Women and Boy Aid
Shortly after he had been called
from the wilma substation to assist
in the investigation of the accident
..Irrie, near Churchville, stopped a
ear driven by Mrs. Myrtle Parsons, OF
Ffavre de Grace, and warned her to
stop at the nearest garage and have
the tail light of her machine fixed.
The officer then continued up the road.
About half mile farther on Mrs.
Parsons noticed motor cycle tangled
in a barbed wire fence beside the
road. Accompanied by small boy,
who was riding with her, Mrs. Par
sons investigated and found Currie
unconscious in field at the bottom of
an embankment. Aided by the boy,
she dragged him back through the
wire fence to the road, put him in her
car and drove to the hospital.
State police, investigating the case,
believe that Currie was forced from
the road by an automobile which he
met coming toward him.
The furlough granted Currie to
visit his home in Scotland would have
been the first opportunity to see his
mother since the death of his father
six months ago. He had the furlongh
with him when he was injured.
Another officer, State Policeman
Gilbert A Wollenburg, received the
first call concerning a collision be-
tween truck and sedan on the
Philadelphia road near. the Gun
powder river bridge.
When he arrived at the scene he
learned that the truck driver, en-
route to Philadelphia, continued on
when occupants of the sedan said
they were unhurt. A call was sent
to the Wilma substation and Currie
was assigned to overtake the driver
of the truck near Aberdeen.
The truck could not be located.
Well Known Here
Corporal Currie is well known in
Oakland and nearby towns, having
been in charge of State Police work
in this section for about two years.

LOCAL YOUTHS ARE BEING
HELD IN PRESTON COUNTY
Said to Have Stolen Automobile
From in Front of Sheriff's
Residence on September 3

D. A. Dewitt, "a, and Alfred
Weimer, Is, both of Oakland, are be-
ing held in the Preston county Jail,
Kingwood, w. Va, after an exciting
chase in which Sheriff w. w. Will
liams succeeded in running down two
young men who had stolen one of the
county's Ford sedans at o'clock
Wednesday morning, September 8.
They were overtaken by the sheriff
on the Monongahela river bridge at
Morgantown, West Va, In explana-
ton of their escapade before Magis-
trate E. C. Everly Thursday after
noon, Dewitt told that they had
walked to Kingwood from Oakland
and We're on their way to Morgan
town to visit with relatives. Being
somewhat tired when they reached
Kingwood he says they decided to
take the automobile and leave it in
Morgantown upon their arrival there.
But when they learned that Sheriff
Williams was after them they decid-
ed to get away, so he claims, with
the result that they were overtaken
and taken back to the Preston county
Jail.
Dewitt is being held for the action
of the Grand Jury in November and
Weimer, who maintains he is but Is,
is being held for an appearance before
Judge A. G. Hughes, in juvenile
court.
Officers feel certain that Weimer
is much older. His action at the time
of the runaway and since his arrest
indicate that he is much past the age
he has admitted.
Sheriff Williams overlook but could
not pass the fleeing car at Indian
Rocks, Masontown, and at the Walnut
street bridge in Morgantown, and
each time was almost wrecked by the
runaways. He fired a number of
shots at the car during the chase
which failed to have any effect.

OAKLAND WILLHAVEPART
IN HIGHWAY CELEBRATION
Local Organizations Plan to go
to Kitzmiller September 20

Plans have been progressing for
the road celebration which will be
held at Kitzmiller on Saturday,
September 20, to mark the opening of
the new Oakland Kitzmiller highway,
according to Grover C. Stemple, may
or of Oakland, and one of the men,
bers of the committee.
At a meeting of the Oakland Ro-
tary club it was decided to attend in
a body, and the Crellin Band, the
Gilbert Brown Boys Band of Oak
land, and the Oakland Troop of Boy
Scouts are also planning to go. The
caravan of motor vehicles will leave
Oakland at 1890 a. M, from the City
Hall, and busses are being provided
for transportation of the organiza-
lions and for anybody else who wishes
to go who has no method of trans
portation.
"We want to show the people of
Kitzmiller that we appreciate the fact
that they are in Garrett county and
will now be in closer touch with the
county seat" Mayor Stemple said.
81 am sure the people of Oakland are
getting behind the celebration and
will be in the parade when the time
comes"
The details of the celebration, the
entertainment, speakers, ETC., are all
being taken care of by the Mayor and
Town Council of Kitzmiller and the
Kitzmiller Fire department. There
will be ball game, and carnival and
Park attractions in the afternoon be-
sides the speaking which will take
place Immediately after dinner.
1t is hoped to make this the great
est road celebration in the county to
be held in several years, as the road
is an important connecting link in the
county and also between two national
routes.

no STUDENTS ENROLLED
IN SCHOOLS OF OAKLAND
High School Opens With 375
Present; Grammar School Has
325 and ParOchial School 20

With an enrolment of ITO pupils,
the three Oakland schools opened for
the nine-months' term on Monday, the
9Th inst. The enrolment in each OF
the three schools is larger than in pre-
vious years.
Oakland High School opened with
an enrolment of 375, an increase of
60 over the same period last year, with
the probability of several more COM
ing in who are usually delinquent in
the beginning of the term.
Oakland Grammar School opened
with an enrolment Of 1876, an increase
of Sc over the same time last year.
The enrolment at st. Peters Paro-
chial school was 10, showing an in
crease over last year.
While crowded conditions in the
high school have been relieved by rea-
son of the recent addition of num-
Der of class rooms and the enlarge
ment of the assembly hall, the Gsas.t-
mar school remains crowded beyond
capacity. Glasses are being conducted
on temporary schedule until more
complete and permanent one can be
arranged.
One hundred forty-three of those
enrolled in the high school are fresh
men; 1O4 are sophomores; 80 are jun
iors and 46 are seniors.
Fifteen Instructors in High School
There are fifteen instructors in the
high school this year and include F.
D. Bittle, principal; W. W. Jenkins,
mathematics; Miss Rose Rice, English
and Latin; Miss Edna Kraft, French
and English; Miss Martha Engle, BIZ
ology; Miss Margaret Kochenderfer,
English; Foster Speicher, history and
general science; W. K. Whitcraft,
mathematics; Calvin S. Warner, his
tory; Miss Mary Louise Thomas, Eng
fish; Nathan B. King, history; Miss
Eva Falkenstein, home economies;
Oren T. eraser, agriculture; Miss

F.. Two new teachers are on the staff
of the Grammar school instructors.

principal, while Miss Virginia Casteel,
Oakland, has charge of part of the
first grade pupils. The others include
Mrs. Ernest C. Liller, Edwin Elias,
Mrs. Mabel Sollars, Miss Lucille Nit
chell, Miss Beulah Loughridge and
Miss Marion B. Leary.
This is the first year that the Gram
mar school has required eight instruc-
tors on its staff, and this has been
made necessary, it is stated, through
transportation of pupils from the out
lying districts. The heavy increase in
the high school enrolment was also
attributed to transportation of pupils
who would otherwise not be able to
attend.

broken last Saturday evening when

The other features for Wednesday,
September II, are the presence of
Mayor w. F. Broening, of Baltimore,
Republican candidate for Governor,
and the banquet in honor of all the
mayors and town councils of incorpo-
rated towns of Garrett county, to be
held in the evening at the Manhattan
hotel. They will be guests of the
Oakland Mayor and Town Council.
Mayor Broening will be asked to
speak at the banquet, and other fea-
lures are being arranged for the en-
tertainment of those present.
Determined to make the Garrett
county fair superior to any in the past
Mr.. Speicher has contracted with the
company of Hilbert and Dorothea to
furnish a program of free acts feat
uring Miss Dorothea's sensational
"slide-for-life" down five hundred
feet incline wire.
This young lady has been present
ing this act at many of the big events
on the west coast and in the middle
west, this being her first season in
the east. Patrons are promised a
real thrill when she makes her flight
through five hundred feet of space
to be caught in nets at the lower end
of the wire. She will also be seen in
another aerial act which is said to be
a very artistic but hazardous offering.
Peerless Hilbert, the other member of
the company, in the makeup of
clown, is said to be sure cure for
all forms of blues. tt
Secure Entry Blanks
Entry blanks for making exhibits
at the County Fair are ready for dis
tribution and may be secured from
Mr.. Speicher, John H. Carter, or at
the office of the county agent.
If the exhibitors will secure the
blanks and fill them out properly it
will save considerable time and
trouble at the time of entering the ex-
hibit, Mr.. Carter, county agent, sta
ted.
Active Interest Necessary
Everything possible is being done
to give people plenty of entertain
ment and provide adequate space for
all of the exhibits, but without the
peoples presence, their exhibits and
their whole-hearted assistance and CO.
operation, the fair is bound to be a
failure"
