you got mad and slugged him with

Then you went outside and

Later, when you came back with
your COW you saw that Obadiah
had slumped, and you went up to
look, which is when Oscar Jones
came by"

FriendsviIle
Nicholas Friend with his sons, John
and Andrew, lived in Virginia along
the Potomac River A flood destroyed
their crops and they sought homes on
high ground. They travelled on foot
over McCullough's Trail into the
Gladcs of Western Maryland. Here
they found an Indian Camp. The sur
roundings pleased them so much they
arranged with the Indians to locate
home ON their land. A deal was made,
and in l7G5 John Friend sold the land
ON the Potomac and with his family
movcds on horseback by way of Fort
Cumberland. the Braddock Road and
Bear Camp Trail to the Indian Camp
ON the Youghiogheny River They
gave hatchets. knives and blankets in
payment for the Indian wigwams and
cornliclds. on the site Of the town of
Friendsvlle.
When Indian alarms disturbed the
settlers, the Friend brothers built
three strong block houses on the west
bank Of the Youghiogheny, known as
Friends Forts, but they were not
molcstcd by the Indians
In 177I. Paul IIoye, with Francis
Deakins, acting as surveyor, arrived

NBADIAH LITTLE was dead.
~ There We're plenty who would
be glad TO hear that news. There
were a great majority Of others
who didn't care a rap.

who lived alone on a farm 10 miles
west Of Fairview. Everyone hated
" him because he
a.. drove sharp
@ Minute bargain and fore
Old Eicai0n closed mortgages

That was the
situation that confronted Owen and
me when we drove up to investi-
gate.
Preliminary investigation re
vealed the following facts: Obad-
iah had been killed by a rock
thrown through a window near
which he was sitting. reading We
knew he had been sitting there
reading because Moses Morris. a
neighbor had passed by in the early
evening and noticed the light in
Obadiah's window, and noticed
Obadiah sitting beside it. Moses
had gone up the road looking for
a cow that had strayed. He found
the cow and started back and mo-
ticed that Obadiah had shifted his
F-''
Something about the way the
old man looked aroused Moses
curiosity, and he went up close
and saw Bleed on ObadIah'S
temple. hioseS went on home
ana called the r2lice.
We corroborated this by talking to
neighbors who had heard Moses
calling the COW, and by discovering
footprints and footprints outside
the window, and by the fact tina,
Oscar Jones. another neighbor, had
come by while Moses was looking
in the window.
So we discounted Moses as q
possible suspect. and went to work
on the others who had hated Oba-
diah. There was for c.,amnle
Roscoe Norbert who lived a mile
away. and who had been belpinq

whether it's a copperhead or a
blacksnake or something else.
Maybe some of my readers are
wondering how the snake got
into the Weekly office. / can't
be sure. Maybe it came up a
drain pipe. Maybe it came
through a hole that was put,
years ago, in the bottom step
outside the door so that rain
water pouring upon the steps
could come on under the base
ment floor and pass into the
main drain pipe leading down to
Rosemary lane. We dug out the
basement "a years ago, after the
building had been erected, be-
cause we needed more space.
Two-by-fours were placed direct
" on the ground, and the floor
ing was put on the two-by-fours.
For all ! know, there may be
colonies of snakes down under
the flooring. 1t would seem to be
a comfortable place for them to
live and raise families.
