Local Fire Department Answers
Two Calls During Week

The Oakland Volunteer Fire De-
partment answered two out-of-town
calls during the past week, one of
which was serious, resulting in the
destruction of the Alpine Mills at
Terra Alta.
The first alarm was given Friday
afternoon when it was discovered
that some grass near the Bolgiano
home in Loeb Lynn had become ig-
nited. This was soon extinguished.
The second call came at three a.
M, Saturday morning from Terra
Alta, w. Va. A record run was made
to Terra Alta, but flames had gained
too great Roadway. The walls of
the structure did not fall, but the in
terror was Quilted, destroying much
valuable machinery. Recently the
property was leased from the owner
by someone residing in Pennsylvania
who had a number of men making
the necessary repairs to resume OPP
erations in the mill. 1t had not been
in operation for two or three years.

ENTRY blanks from prospective ex-

liberal that any man or woman who
has produce to exhibit is tempted to
make at least one entry.
For instance, first prize of five
dollars is offered for the best peck of
wheat, and another five dollars for the
best three cucumbers, and another five
dollars for the best peck of potatoes.
And similar prizes are offered in all
the fifty or more classes listed in the
premium list.
And who wouldn't take chance of
winning a first prize of three dollars
on the display of a dozen eggs, or
four dollars for the best exhibit of a
pound of maple sugar And what
woman wouldn't be tempted to send
an exhibit of her choicest jellies or
canned fruits when she knows that
she may win a prize of four dollars,
and at the same time have a chance
to sell the lot for actual cash? 1t
is chance for people of the eight
Tableland counties to get their pro-
ducts before the buying public of
Pittsburgh.
Men and women of Garrett county
are urged to send in their entry lists.

Agent or from the Secretary of the

WOMAN Is HELD in DEATH
OF FARMER OF BITTINCER
Chauncey BrOadwater Dies of
Poison After Writing Note Ac-
cusing Annabel BOwser
DENIES ANY CONNECTION

Garrett county authorities will
await the action of the grand jury in
their effort to determine whether
Chauncey R. Broadwater, AZ, of near
Bittinger, was given or took the poi
son that caused his death about 1
o'clock Monday morning.
Broadwater had been calling on
Miss Annabel Bowser, aged 43, Sum
day evening, and while there had
eaten some pears and drank some
water Feeling i'll, he returned to his
home, wrote a note charging Miss
Bowser had poisoned him, and died
early Monday after suffering with
commissions.
Miss Bowser has denied having
any connection with the death; and
told police that Broadwater attempt
ed to commit suicide several weeks
ago with a shotgun because he need
ed money and she would not marry
him.
She was released Tuesday after
noon under $4,000 bond after Chief
Judge D. Lindley Sloan signed writ of
habeas corpus.
When the woman was told Of the
death of Broadwater by Sheriff Wal
ter Haenftling and States Attorney
Walter w. Dawson, she said he must
have become angry because she.
would not ''sit up" with him that
evening.
When Broadwater returned home
Sunday night, it was said, he awoke
his children after writing the accus-
ing note. The children summoned DIR.
N. R. Davis, from Grantsville, and
surrounding neighbors.
Following the mans death cor
oner's jury with Justice of the Peace
W. A. Gender reported the death due
to strychnine poisoning.
Broadwater's wife died last winter,
leaving her husband with six chill
dren, the oldest of whom is 16.
Broadwater's viscera has been sent
to Baltimore for analysis.
Funeral services for the deceased
were held this morning from the
Bittinger Lutheran church. Rev. Ed.
Walls, Dunkard minister, preached
the service. Interment was made in
the Bittinger cemetery.
II didn't do it," Miss Bowser stat
ed emphatically, when interviewed on
Tuesday afternoon. "The man want
ed me to marry him and l wouldn't
do it. He called at our house, Sum
day evening before 1 got home. When
came home l remained with the
family all the time until l went to
bed. Broadwater stayed even after
went to bed, and when he left home
about 9 o'clock my mother said he
was feeling fine. He must have taken
something after he started home, or
after he reached it.
st must have been his idea Of
getting revenge for me not promis-
ing to marry him. l never kept any
poison in the house and never got
any. Unless he got poison and forged
my name, they'll never find my name
in any drug store. If they find poi
son in his stomach, l guess thereU
be a trial. If not, l guess they'll let
me go home soon."
Miss Bowser said she was 43 years
old. She is about five feet five inches
tall, rather plump and extremely
pleasant to talk with. She said her
lawyers told her not to say anything,
but she just had to let the people
know that she "didn't do it."
Miss Bowser is a daughter of the
late Perry Bowser, and is considered
nuite well-to-dO

EXHIBITS ABOVE PAR AT
SIXTEENTH ANNUAL FAIR
Carnival to Remain on Grounds
Until Saturday Evening
Entertainment is Good
PARADE HELD YESTERDAY

The sixteenth annual Garrett coun-
ty fair, which opened on Tuesday
morning, will continue until tomor-
row evening, and carnival attractions
will remain until Saturday night,
Henry M. Speicher, general manager,
has announced.
Exhibits Are Above Par
That all departments were filled to
overlooking was stated by depart
ment managers, with improvement
noted in most cases. "The exhibits
have been we'll above the average and
surpass expectations" Mr.. Speicher
said. "The exhibit building is COM
pletely filled and the barns housing
the live stock are not able to hold all
of the exhibits.
Farm products seem to be of as
good quality as last year and there
are some excellent exhibits among
the horses and sheep. The All clubs,
home economics clubs and agriculture
clubs have very good exhibits.
Judges have been busy during the
past two days in making awards and
they will be announced in next weeks
issue of The Republican.
Prof. S. B. Shaw, chief inspector,
State department of markets, who
judged the farm products told Mr.
Speicher that he had judged at all
the fairs of the state and that Gar
rett county products were we'll above
the average and the best in the state
in some respects.
Entertainment is Good
The Roberts and Ramish Shows are
considered to be above the ordinary
run of carnival shows and have some
good entertainment for those attend
ing the fair. In addition to num-
Der of shows and concessions there
are four rides, including a Ferris
wheel, merry-go-round, chair plane
and tilt-a-whirl.
At Parsons, w. Va, where the car
nival played during the fair there
last week, w. T. Taylor, manager,
had the following to say:
"The Roberts and Ramish Shows
of Baltimore, furnished all rides, con-
cessions and shows and never has
there been better lineup of amuse-
ments. The shows cannot be placed
in the usual class of carnivals. Its
shows and concessions are of the
highest type and can be patronized
by the women and children without
the least fear of seeing CT hearing
anything of an Objectionable nature"
School Day Was Wednesday
On Wednesday morning a parade
of all school children was held, in
Guiding students from Loeb Lynn,
Deer Park, Crellin and a few other
elementary schools, Oakland gram
mar and Oakland high schools. The
Oakland Boys Band and the Crellin
Band and two musical organizations
attached to the R. and r. shows, par
ticipated in the affair. All children of
school age were admitted to the fair
grounds free of charge following the
parade.
During all the years of my
arrangements l have never received
such wholehearted cooperation on
the part of the business men and
people of Oakland" Mr.. Speicher
said. "Not once did I hear anybody
knock or make light of the Fair.
Everybody was willing to help in
some way"

faces distorted with pain, their bodies
nude, Doris Gillian Cool, 19, and Harold
Crawford, 20, were found dead in q
tourist camp cabin near Aurora, q
suburb
Investigating officers said the two
may have been asphyxiated, as a gas
heater was found burning full blast and
the cabin was tightly closed. But a
definite theory of the tragedy, which
occurred Christmas night or early yes
terday morning, was not advanced
pending the result of chemical analy-
sis of the contents of two bottles Of
wine found in the cabin, and the con-
tents of the pairs stomachS.
The operator of the camp said they
rented a cabin about 10 o'clock Christ
mas night and on being assured it was
warm, told him he need not turn on
She water. He said he did not ask
them to sign the register because of
the cold and lateness of the hour.
Search for Miss Cool was started
when she failed to return to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Johnson, her
been staying. She had Christmas din
called for her later in the day. From
there they went to Crawfords home,
where he lived with his stepfather and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Morris.
They left there about pm.

vailing," Senator Long said.
HE says the people want the Gov
ernment's budget balanced and some
thing done about the prohibition reform
promised. I don't contradict that, but
would like to see Mr.. Garner say
something about our promise to give
the people of this country something to
eat and to wear, place to live In
comfort and work for everybody.
