MAN HAS BROKEN RIBS
AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Slips From Car After Hailing
Passing Motorist; Car Backs
Over Him

A man giving his name as Mr..
Rierer, sustained three broken ribs IN
peculiar accident last Saturday
evening on the road leading to the
Turkey Neck section of Deep Greek
Lake.
AS Henry w. McComas, Jr., accom-
panied by R. C. McComas and F. E,
Rathbun, were enroute to the home
of DR.. Wilson, they were hailed by a
man in a car. Stopping the car Mr..
McComas began to back slowly to
where this other car was parked, to
render assistance. In the meantime
the man had in some manner fallen
from his car to the road and the Nc
Comas car in backing ran over the
man. The mans car at the same time
started down a slight incline and
wrecked against the bank.
McComas took the man to the home
of DR.. Wilson, and later he was taken
to Memorial hospital where eXamina-
ton disclosed three broken ribs. The
man was said to be from Pennsyl-
vania.
Howard Smouse, John Shaffer and
William Glotfelty were all badly
bruised last Sunday night when the
Smouse car in which they were riding
crashed into the bank at the end of
the new Mt. Lake Park-Deer Park

back and was the more seriously in
iured of the three.
An automobile belonging to Lewis

were enroute to their home and were
travelling in line. The front one stop
ped for some reason, the second one
rammed into the first, and the third

JOB OF RECOGNIZING THE
BALLOTS GETS UNDER WAY
Is Under Watchful Eyes of A
Dozen or More On Each
Side of Fence

The job of recounting all Demo-
cratic primary election ballots of Gar
rett county insofar as they effect the
gubernatorial candidates began this
morning under the watchful eyes of
dozen or more on both sides of the
Jackson and O'Conor fence.
The Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions decided to allow three boxes to
be counted at one time, and the work
is going forward with constant chal-
lenges from the watchers about mark
ings on the ballots which do not seem
to conform to the law. In two hours
of counting they had not completed
three boxes, so it is not expected that
the count will be completed today,
unless the activity is increased con-
siderably. There we're about 1900
Democratic ballots cast in the twenty
five polling places.
O'Conor men at the three tables as
challengers, tellers and checkers, are
Seymour O'Brien, Ted Stearn, Samuel
c. Williams, Baltimore; Richard Con
der, Richard Glotfelty, Henry W. Nc
Comas, Jr.. Oakland; c, WEIGH, Dorsey
Guard and R. E. Guard, Friendsville.
Working for Jackson are Alfred
Scherr, Marshall Stewart, j. Hamp-
ton Hooper and Kenneth Kennedy, of
Baltimore; William E. Giessman, ].
Frank Browning, H. P. Stuck, c. F.
White, Neil C. Liller, all of Oakland.
Others here TO watch the count are
Harry Flynn, George Mueller, reading
clerk of the Baltimore City Council;
Albert A. Levine, Baltimore; Judge
Albert A. Doub, Cumberland. A. T.
Matthews, w. R. Offutt, are inter
ested Oakianders for Jackson.

But let's quote MT Allen:
