who was side piking along with sew
eral others, failed to see in what direc-
tion the pole was falling and ran be-
meath it. Glimpsing for an instant
the danger he was in he stopped and
his foot slipping on the snow and ice
the falling pole struck him on the
back of his head.

BLOOMINGTON MINER IS
BELIEVED MURDER VICTIM
Case ReOpened After 1t Had
Been Decided He Had Been
Killed by Railroad Train
BLOOD STAINS ARE FOUND

Garrett county authorities are of
the opinion that Nelson Green, 81
year old miner, whose body was found
Sunday morning on the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, near his
home in Bloomington, may have been
the victim of a murder.
Investigators are working on the
theory that Green was slain and his
body placed on the tracks to cover the
alleged crime. A cerebral autopsy,
performed by DR.. J. C. Wolverton, of
Piedmont, w. Va, showed that Green
suffered a severe blow on the head.
The condition of the body strengthened
the belief Of investigators that Green
was dead when train struck him.
Three Held for Questioning
Green's widow and two men are I'M
der technical arrest, pending further
investigation by States Attorney W.
W. Dawson, Sheriff Walter H. Haenft-
ling, and Coroner w. A. Gender.
About twenty persons, some of whom
attended an alleged drinking party"
Saturday night at the Green home,
were questioned by officers, who said
conflicting statements were made by
several of the guests.
Discovery of blood spots and hair
outside the coal house near the Green
home, and blood at the rear of the
dwelling, led authorities to conduct a
further investigation, after it had been
decided Green met his death when
struck by train. Arrests in the case
are expected within a few days,
States Attorney Dawson intimated.
Green's body was discovered at
dawn Sunday morning by George
Brandlin, neighbor. Brandlin said
he looked out of the window and no.
ticed a form lying between the rails,
about Is yards from the Green home.
He believed it was pile of coal but
decided to investigate when Dominic
Flynn, a night Waterman, who was
returning home, stopped outside the
Brandlin home and suggested that
they walk over to the tracks.

DEATH TREE NEAR FINZEL
REMOVED BY DEPARTMENT
State Highway Workers Remove
Tree Which Killed Four

A big tree on the disputed boundary
line between Pennsylvania and Mary
land, near Finzel, which was believed
responsible for the deaths of four
persons in automobile accidents and,
as result, became known as death
tree" has been removed.
Through the efforts of the Somer-
set county branch of the Uniontown
Motor Club and Chief of Police John
l. Smith, of Somerset, workers this
week uprooted the tree and rebuilt
the bernie along the highway where
it stood.
A release of damages to clear the
way for the improvement was OBJ
tanned from adjoining property own
ers by the Highway Department.
John Rembold, brother-in-law of the
late Congressman, Samuel A. Kendall,
of Meyersdale, was killed November
&c last, when his car crashed into the
tree. Victor c. Lucas, IS, and Miss
Alleda Wilson, 10, both of Cumber-
land, were killed at the same spot on
January Z while on way to Meyers
dale to attend a dance. Two others
also were injured and later fourth
person was killed at the same spot.
Both Pennsylvania and Maryland
authorities investigated the fatalities,
as there had been dispute for some
time as to the State in which the tree
stood. The Pennsylvania Supreme
Court ruled, it is said, that the par
ticular strip of land on which the tree
stood did not belong to either State.
