Robert LawtOn, IL, Seriously
Burned About His Legs

Robert Lawton, 12-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Lawton, Oak
land, was severely burned about his
legs about 4:30 o'clock last Friday
afternoon when a can of gasoline
with which Donnie Hinebaugh, anoth-
er small boy, and Robert Lawton were
playing, exploded and ignited his gar
ments. Mrs. Arthur Naylor, an eye
witness of the occurrence, ran from
her home to the lad and attempted to
extinguish the flames but it was not
until after Mrs. Jesse J. Ashby, Jr.,
also seeing the accident, arrived with
rug that the two women succeeded
in smothering the fire.
The child was given medical aid at
once and is now resting comfortably
at his home on Pennington street. 1t
is not thought that the burns will re-
suit in any permanent ill-effects.
Mrs. Naylor was slightly burned
on her hands and fingers while at
tempting to put out the fire.

CARTER URGES SHEEPMEN
TO IMPROVE OLD FLOCKS
Asks That Breeders Let Pure
bred Rams Boost Lamb Prices

Fright now seems to be the oppor-
tune time for every flock owner to
check out his old scrub ram and re-
place him with a thick, low set, pure
bred ram of the suitable Breeds" said
County Agent John H. Carter, yester-
day.
at may be a long, long time," he
continued, "before farmers can Sc
cure good breeding ewes and high
class purebred rams as reasonably as
will be possible this season. Talk
about low lamb prices! One of the
main reasons for this is the large
number Of scrub rams at the head of
fiocks. Sheepmen who are using good
purebred rams and following the
proper methods of management can
produce lambs at a profit even at
lower prices than prevail at present.
Many choice lambs are selling now at
prices ranging from $500 to $500 per
head. It is not only impossible to sell
scrub lambs at these prices, but it is
hard to get your buyers to take them
at any price. The butchers simply
don't want them. Scrub rams are
costing Garrett county sheepmen
about $4,000 annually as near as I
can figure.
"My advice to any sheepman who
needs a good ram would be to attend
the Oakland Ram Show and Sale on
Saturday, September 18th. If you
don't happen to need a ram, come
anyway and see what is going on. A
show of all the rams in the sale will
be held in the forenoon. Whether you
buy or not, you will be welcome and
will see something interesting"

MAN SHOT FROM AMBUSH
ON WAY HOME FROM MILL
Authorities Probing Mysterious
Attack on William Garletts

William Garletts, 45, was shot from
ambush last Thursday evening as he
was returning to his home, near Long
Stretch, on the National Highway,
four miles east of Grantsville.
Garletts, who received shotgun
wounds in the stomach, shoulder and
through his nose, said he had no enc
mics and knew of no reason for the
attempt upon his life, and number
of witnesses also testified to the fact
when examined by States Attorney
w. W. Dawson and Sheriff Haenftling
that Garletts was law-abiding citi-
zen and that they knew of no reason
why anyone should attempt to kill
him.
The shot came from the woods
along a sideroad leading to the Ma
tional Highway as Garletts was en-
route from his saw mill to his home.
Investigation of the circumstances
surrounding the wounding of Garletts
was made by the States officers the
evening of the shooting and is still be-
ing carried on.
1t was not thought at the time Gar
let's was shot that his wounds were of
a serious nature, but he is now con-
fined to his bed and suffers intensely
from pains in his abdomen.

Citizens Urged to Clean Up the
Town for Mondays Visitors

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee, the yard and garden contest
committee and the committee on the
Identification of Washington Spring
Park, held Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Miss Lottie M. Loar, presi-
dent of the Civic Club, it was urged
that citizens of Oakland take particu
lar care in cleaning up their yards,
streets and alleys, etc., this week, in
preparation for the large number of
visitors expected here on Labor Day.
It was also urged that all weeds,
especially ragweeds and those condu-
Give to hay fever, be pulled up before
going to seed, and that everything
possible be done before Monday morn
ing so that the town of Oakland will
be spotless for the reception of its
visitors that day.

Cars in Triple Collision; No One
Is Injured

A triple collision occurred last Fri
day evening on the State highway be-
tween Crellin and Hutton, when a
truck belonging to the Monheim Pro-
duce Company of Uniontown, Pa, and
driven by William Captain, collided
with the Flint sedan occupied by DR..
and Mrs. W. W. Grant and their three
sons. A Ford coupe occupied by D.
W. Walter and son David, Jr., follow
ing the truck were unable to stop and
struck DR.. Grants car.
None of the occupants of the cars
were seriously hurt, but all were
shaken up and somewhat bruised. DR..
and Mrs. Grant and three children
were returning home from Kingwood,
w. Va, and the Monheim truck and
the Walters car were going toward
Terra Alta.
Both tenders on one side as we'll as
a front wheel, the radiator and front
axle as well as the runningboard on
DIR. Grants car were damaged, while
Mr.. Walters car required new radi-
ator and fender.
Another Wreck.
When Paul Turney, driving a Will
lys-Knight sedan on Route 81 between
Gortner and Oakland Saturday even
ing, came to the top of a rise in the
highway and saw two wrecked cars
directly in front of him he ditched his
car in preference to colliding with the
other two machines, and turned over.
Neither he nor Arthur Hinebaugh,
who was his companion, was seriously
injured, although the latter's hand
was considerably bruised and cut by
particles of glass.
The two wrecked cars on the high
way carried West Virginia license
plates. One of them was owned by w.
Guthrie, of Terra Alta, W. Va.

Have Narrow Escape

Mr.. Mark Moon and Gardner
Thomasson, of near Oakland, had a
narrow escape yesterday afternoon
when the Ford roadster in which they
were riding during a binding rain
storm, collided with a telephone pole
which had been blown almost to the
ground, along the State road near
DeBerry's grove, north of town.
The pole knocked out the windshield
of the car completely but did not
break the top, and neither of the occu-
pants was injured. Had the pole not
been able to swing on the wires which
were still holding it suspended, it is
probable that both would have been
badly crushed.

August Has Unusual Amount of
Rainfall

August, with a total rainfall of 5.66
inches and only few clear days, was
written into the weather records at
Weber's, official government station,
as something of an unusual summer
month.
An average summer rainfall seldom
totals three inches, according to R. E.
Weber. The total, however, for the
entire eight months of the present
year, has been 31.71 inches, which is
about normal, it was stated. May and
August, both wet months this year,
made up for the other dry months.
Farmers say that the recent rains
have replenished- underground sup
plies for the first time since they were
exhausted last year during the long
continued drought. Some are pre-
dieting, also, an "old fashioned" rainy
fall and "hard" winter.
