PLANS MATURE FOR FAIR
OF ALLEGANY TABLELAND
Will Be Held at Gimbels Store
in Pittsburgh on October IS,
10, 20 and Fl
MAY STILL SEND ENTRIES

Elaborate plans for the eight-county
fair which the Allegheny Tableland
Association will sponsor at Gimbels
store, Pittsburgh, on October 18, 10,
20 and 81, are rapidly being whipped
into shape, and it is promised that
every man, woman and child from the
Tableland will have the time of his
or her life when visiting the fair.
Entry blanks from prospective ex-
hibitors are already being received at
Gimbers store.
There will be first prize of five
dollars 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. Similar
prizes are offered in all the fifty or
more classes listed in the premium
list.
A first prize of three dollars will be
given for a display of a dozen eggs,
or four dollars for the best exhibit of
a pound of maple sugar.
If the men or women of Garrett
county have not yet sent in their en-
try lists, they should do so at once.
Copies may be had from the County
Farm Agent or from Gimbels, Pitts
burgh. Or, if time is short, make a
list on plain paper and send it to Gim-
bells store, as noted above. All entry
lists must be in the mails by October
18th.
There will be absolutely no charge
for making entries. All the exhibitor
has to do is to pack his exhibits care
fully, deliver them to place which
will be designated to him when he
sends his entry list, and then he is
through. Trucks from Pittsburgh
will pick up the entries and take them
to Pittsburgh.
Gimbel's entire staff of decorators
will arrange the exhibits in the store
ready for the opening of the fair on
the morning of October 18th. mas
much as there will be counties in three
states competing, the contest will be
interesting.
Another feature of the fair is this
potato raisers, egg dealers, apple
growers, anyone with any farm pro-
duce to sell in large quantities, may be
on the spot to take orders for all he
can sell.
There will be at least twenty-five
thousand people passing through the
fair to see the products.
The boys and girls also have oppor-
tunities to win substantial prizes.
For various reasons, some of the
exhibitors have not been able to gel
the applications filed before October
5th, so it has been agreed to extend
the time of making entries for the fair
until October 18th. However, no one
in the Tableland District will be re-
fused entry into the exhibit provided
their exhibits are delivered to the
place designated in the various coun-
ties.
Anyone in the Tableland area who
has not received a premium list and
entry blank should call the County
Agent or drop a card to the Allegheny
Tableland Fair, Gimbels. Pittsburgh

10 ARSON GANG MEMBERS
NDICTEDAT MORCANTOWN
Fires in West Virginia and Ma
ryland Traced to Mob Oper-
ating in This Section
H. MENKE is AMONG THEM

An amazing and sensational story
in the history of this section of efforts
to swindle insurance companies thru
incendiary fires "broke" in Morgan
town on Friday afternoon when the
Circuit Court grand jury of that city
voted fourteen indictments containing
81 counts against ten men whose
criminal activities ran from Michigan
to Maryland and left a trail of ashes
in their wake.
Three of those indicted by the West
Virginia grand jury are now in peni-
tentiaries, one is a fugitive and the
others are under bond to appear in
court. The felons now serving time
are Guy Crane, member of the Detroit
E'Purple Gang" and Pat Mccormick,
alias Russell Potter, alias Pat Walls,
his accomplice and companion, and
Henry Menke, well-known Garrett
county and Scott's Run wv. Va.) fig
ure, now serving five years in the
Maryland penitentiary for arson fol-
lowing his conviction last spring in the
local court. Crane and Mccormick
are serving Is to 80 years each in a
Michigan penitentiary for armed rob-
berry.
Others indicted at Morgantown
were Joseph Cantor, Morgantown, a
free lance insurance adjuster, and
miners in Grant Town and SCOTS
Run, namely: Arthur Richards, Mar
tin Warhol, Ben Legnosky, Joe Va
loska, Sam Crawford and w. Sher-
man Tenant, merchant-farmer, of
Moorseville.
Following Manke's conviction in
the Garrett county court, sweeping
investigation was made, with the as
sistance of Garrett county authori-
ties, agents for national fire insurance
companies and the National Board of
Fire Underwriters.
Six separate fires are covered in
the fourteen indictments. One case
centers on the "theft" of Cantor's
automobile from his garage last Janu-
airy and its subsequent finding near
the Dodge school house, four miles
north of Oakland, after it had been
almost completely consumed by fire.
Another was Tenants store and
residence building at SCOTS Run and
another was the burning of Martin
Warhol's unoccupied dwelling in Mar
lila early last summer when Valoska
and Legnosky were horribly burned
in a gasoline explosion which followed
their attempts to burn the building.
The Investigators claim they have
full proof to support their assertion
that Tenant and Menke conspired to
burn Tenants building and that
Menke actually fired the structure the
first time. Later Menke contracted
with Crane and Mccormick, with Ten
nant's knowledge, to burn the build
ing. The second attempt was unsuc-
cessful, but the structure was de-
stroyed two nights later.

light, rescue workers swarmed over
the wreck and overturned coaches,
removing dead and injured.
Only a few of the passengers in
