"Wild Ride" on Steam
Roller Experienced
By W. E. 'Bill" Rice

William E. "Bill' Rice had what he
would call a wild ride" on Tuesday
morning, even though he wasn't going
over twenty-five miles an hour-but
the ride was on runaway steam
roller, and an Anticipated model at
that.
The gears of the steam roller be-
came disengaged in some way with
no way of using brakes and the ma
chine travelled westward on Oak
street from the B. and O. bridge al
most to the Carnation plant at the
west edge of town before coming to
a stop.
Difficult to guide and handle at
slow rate of speed, it becomes almost
unmanageable at a speed of twenty
or twenty-five miles an hour, and
"Bill' had his hands more than full
trying to keep it in the roadway,
which he did. Fortunately no automo-
biles approached town from the west
during his wild ride.

To Search for Indian

Academy of Science Is Inter

ested in Area Around SelbyspOrt
That final effort would be made
to uncover more Garrett County
Indian history in the vicinity of
Selbysport, before that country is
covered with water as result of the
flood-control program on the tribu
tarics of the Ohio river, was learned
this week from Eugene Closer, Balti-
more, who is representing the Mary
land Academy of Science.
Mr.. Closer came here last Satur-
day after Charles E, Hoye, of Sang
Run, president of the Garrett County
Historical society, had sent plea to
the Academy to take some action now
before the opportunity was lost for
ever.
Mr.. Closer said Monday that there
appeared to be more than sufficient
evidence of established Indian villages
at one time in that area, especially
dIOQIlu bulldIO 1Itth NIlClC IL
cmpties into the Youghiogheny river,
1t has always been believed, accord
ing to Mr.. Closer, that although this
area was known to the Indians as an
ideal hunting ground, that there were
no permanent settlements or villages
here.
He said he would recommend to the
Maryland Academy of Science that a
small group be sent to this county to
eXcavate for positive evidence which
he feels is there.
Mr.. Closer said the Academy was
interested primarily in discovering
tools and implements that would show
beyond a doubt that this was real
Indian country instead of just a place
where they spent much time hunting.
Mr.. Hoyc accompanied Mr.. Closer
on his inspection trip last Sunday.
