TO PROPAGATE BASS
IN WESTERN MARYLAND
Commissioner States That One
Stream in Garrett County
Has $4,000 Brook Trout

Swepson Earle, State Conservation
Commissioner, told $50 members and
friends of the Izaak Walton League
at the Leagues annual banquet held
at Hagerstown last Friday that with
in the year Washington county will be
known and recognized as the greatest
small mouth bass propagation
grounds in Maryland.
The banquet, always a brilliant af-
fair, was marked by the presence of
Congressman Fred N. Zihlman, Con-
gresham E. C. Ellis, of Missouri,
Secretary of State D. c. Winebrenner
III, Swepson Earl, and State Game
Warden E. Lee LeCompte.
The rearing of small mouth bass
has long been a cause of worry not
only for the Conservation commission
but for the fishermen in Western
Maryland, Mr.. Earl stated. Proper
waters for the production of this
species was hard to find and only af-
ter careful search and work on the
part of the members of the local chap
ter. the Conservation Commission was
induced to come into that county for
tests.
The superintendent of the c. & o.
canal has offered the commission
either Little or Big Pool, located in
Washington county, and after being
inspected by G. C. Leach of the U.
S. Bureau of Fisheries, and A. M.
Powell, of the Conservation Depart
ment, it was acclaimed by far the best
body of water that could be used for
the propagation of small mouth bass.
While it will take some money to
put either of these in proper shape
for bass, the department expects to
utilize Big Pool, which is two miles
long and 400 yards in width.
"At this time," said Mr.. Earle, eve
have at Bear Creek, Garrett county
$4,000 brook trout; at Cushwa Spring,
Washington county, 10000 trout, and
at Lewiston, Frederick county, $4,000
trout in rearing ponds. 1t is estimat-
ed by the State Fish Culturist, Mr.
Powell, that by next fall these fish
should be from 8 to IL inches long,
and before placing them into streams,
we shall be able to take 100000
eggs. Maryland will not only be able
to supply her own needs, but may
sell eggs instead of being purchaser
as heretofore"

March Term of Court In Session
Three Days This Week

The March Term of the Circuit
Court for Garrett county was in ses-
sion on Monday, Tuesday and yester-
day with Chief Judge D. L. Sloan on
the bench. A number of routine mat
tiers were taken up and passed upon
by the Court as we'll as some equity
cases. Only two cases were actually
tried, one being before the Court
and one before jury, which was re-
called for this particular case.
The jury case, which required day
and half for trial, attracted some
attention due to the fact that it
was over what commonly known as
"horse note" trial. The suit was
brought by C. W. Craig, of Kingwood,
assignee of the note which had been
given to the Preston Stock Company
and was against George B. Ferris,
Henry Kifer, J. C. Haggerty and IT.
win Tichinell, all of near Barnum, this
county, the amount in controversy
being in excess of six hundred dollars.
During the trial a considerable mass
of testimony was offered by the de-
PENDANTS to show the manner in which
their signatures had been secured to
the note, while the plaintiff contended
that in purchasing the note he knew
nothing of these matters. After de-
liberating a short time the jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendants
Tuesday at noon. The attorneys in
the case were Messrs. J. C. Renninger,
of Oakland, and Harry G. Fisher, of
Keyser, for the plaintiff, and Mr.. E.
R. Jones for the defendants.
The second case tried was a land
suit between Thomas and James Gar
rett and George and Jacob Ours, and
involved about twenty acres of land
near Mountain Lake Park. After
hearing all the testimony the Court
took the case under consideration and
announced that he would render his
decision at later date. The attorneys
in this case were J. C. Renninger and
E. R. Jones.

MORGANTOWN PEOPLE ARE
INJURED NEAR GORMANIA
Car Rolls Down 9O-FOot- En-
bankment on Northwestern
Turnpike To Railway Track

Lieutenant and Mrs. Paschal N.
Strong, of Morgantown, are in the
Keyser hospital recovering from Sc
we're injuries sustained Friday when
car in which they were driving rolled
down a 90-foot embankment near Cor
mania on the Northwestern Pike, the
machine coming to a stop only after
it had struck upon the Western
Maryland Railway track alongside an
abutment of the new bridge being
built to span the Potomac river from
West Virginia to Garrett county.
Lieutenant Strong, who is an in
structor in military tactics at West
Virginia University, suffered a brok-
en- kneecap of his left leg, decorations
about and his face and shock.
Mrs. Strong was more seriously in
jured than her husband, having frac-
ture of her right leg just above her
knee and fractured jaw, together
with decorations about her face and
shock.
Both have esponded we'll to treat
ment and no fear is felt for their re-
covery.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Strong were
on their way to Annapolis having with
them Harold T. Swindler, manager Of
the West Virginia University rifle
team, and Vaughn Michael, member
of the team.
Other members of the rifle team
were in cars following that of Lieu
tenant Strong and they were to fire
with the Navy team at Annapolis on
Saturday.
Say That Sign is Too Near
The accident occurred as the driver
was proceeding at speed of about
35 miles an hour, according to. the
story told later by those in the wreck,
when the car came suddenly upon a
stretch of dirt road. They claimed
that the warning sign was too close
to the point where the bad road be-
gins. The height of the declivity
was estimated at from rs to 80 feet.
The front wheels caught in one
rut on the road and the rear wheels
in another. In an effort to straighten
the course of the car, it suddenly left
the road and rolled down the embank-
ISment with a grade estimated at As
degrees turning over about nine times
according to eye witnesses.
Thrown From Car.
The top was torn off the sedan, and
both Lieutenant Strong and Mrs.
Strong were thrown from the car,
Mrs. Strong landing on the railroad
track at the foot of the embankment
and Lieutenant Strong striking pile
of crossties hear the railroad track.
Miraculously, small portion of the
top of the car over the back seat was
not torn off, and the other two occu.
pants were not thrown out. They were
not greatly injured, though they suf-
fered from a number of bruises and
minor decorations.
Michael joined the remainder of the
party, under the leadership of Ser
geant Dave M. Beard, rifle coach, and
continued to Annapolis. Swindler, af-
ter seeing that Lieut.. and Mrs. Strong
had been placed in an ambulance and
sent to Keyser, took a bus to Graf
ton and there got a train back to
Morgantown to report to military
headquarters the extent of the wreck.
