MEYERSDALE. PA. ( {URSDAY JAN! ARY 8. 1914
The services held in the various
hurches of Meyersdale in cennection
with the Week of Prayer have proven,
| thus far, an eminent success. The
_eongregations have filled the audi-
toriums and there has been a marked
interest in the messages which have

dom in the Community. Having long
been a pastor in ourtown he was well
qualified to speak on this subject.
The services of this week are de-
voted to a discussion of themes which
have to do with problems that we are
facing today and in our immediate
surroundings. Everybody ought to
. be interested in the community of
which he forms a- part and should
concern himself about its problems,
religious and moral as well as busi-
ness and commercial. It has been
gratifying to see the way in which
the various denominations are work-
ing in co-operation and this is one of
the most encouraging signs of the
coming of God’s Kingdom.
We ‘are anxious that all church
members especially andothers if they
may be so inclined, may work vigor-
ously to make Sunday, January 11th,
the calendar day of this year’s reli-
filled and overtiowing. This can be
done by each person taking some of
the cards that* have been liberally
provided by the Ministerial Associa-
tion, and sending them to any per-
sons whom he would like to see in
his church next Sabbath. Let us not

FILES PROTEST.
Your esteemed contemporary, the
Republican, in its last issue, through
‘‘a friend’’, bewails the awful sin and
iniquity of our little town of Markel-
ton, even emitting some. ‘‘poetry”’
appropriate (?) to the occasion, and
wishing fora ‘‘Billy’’ Sunday to clean
up the place.
Markleton is really a beautiful place,
Where sin is neither rampant nor does
iniquity flourish, but where some of
the would-be ‘‘sanctimonious’’ people
would condemn anyone who does not
think as they do. I have been a
resident of Markelton for some time
and I have had ample opportunity to
observe the ‘‘doings’’ of the people,
and they are noc worse than the
average. oun
1 have made many trips with basket
and without, and have always return-
ed sober. There are, it is true, a few
‘‘booze’’ fighters here, and where are
there none? There are also a few
“calamity howlers’’ who can always
see wrong in everything, and when
they see a ‘man with a basket, they
shriek, Oh! more booze, and when a
lady is out walking with her steay,
they hold up their hands in holy
horror, and run for cover.
Verily; ‘‘to the pure, all things are
pure’, ‘and to the knocker, there is
wrong in everything.

audience of his experiences with the

the pastor ot the congregation invited
the hana or the bishop and take the
privilege or eontrivuting money for
the foreign work. Many came for-
ward to shake hands, but the pastor’s
little girl was the only one -that gave
money, 50 cents. After the services
the bishop went home with the pastor
for dinner, and the other two children
also came and each one put 50 cents
into the hand of the missionary.
While they were eating dinner the
Pastor and his wife related the cir-
cumstances how each of the children
came to have 50 cents. An uncle
bad given each one a chicken and
they had made pets of them, playing
with them in the warm basement of
the house in the winter.. But the
time came when they could not have
them any longer so they prepared
one for dinner, and when they sat
down to eat one of their pets the ehil-

there was no dinner eaten at their
house that day, At the evening ser-

the children with their chickens and
he started a ‘‘Chicken Brigade’’ and

the Brethren Superintendent

that purpose.

The newly elected presiding officer
awarded a citation on Elsie Stahl
Barron and her father, Daniel G. Stahl,
in which they are directed to show
cause why they shall not be removed
as executors of the estate of the late
Henry F. Barron, former cashier of
the bank, who suicided by shooting
himself on September 11, 1913.
The petition was sworn to by Harry
L. Sipe, president of the bank, who
alleges that the executors are con-
cealing moneys belonging to th¢
estate for the purpose of cheating an
defrauding creditors, of whom the
bank is one. It is further alleged
that the executors represent interes s
adverse to the estate and its creditors.
Elsie Barron is the widow of Henry
F. Barron, who’in his will left all his
property to her absolutly.
President Sipe alleges that before
his death Barron fraudently trans-
ferred real estate and personal proper-
ty, worth several thousand dollars,
to his wife and her relatives. Barron
deeded a house and lot in Somerset
borough to his wife’s mother, Emma
Grace Stahl, on November 25, 1911.
‘The house is said to be worth about
$5,000. On April 2, 1912, Barron
executed a deed of conveyance to his
wife for a $6,000 Mausoleum in the
Union cemetery. He assigned a $1,000
mortgage to Daniel G. Stahl on March
14, 1913, the day following the time he
is allged to have stolen $13,000 from
the bank which ousted him as cashier.
The bank’s petition further charges
him with transferring a number of
shares of the capital stcek ot the
Somerset Trust company and the
Meyersdale Brewing company to Elsie

her numerous gifts and presents, con-
sisting of diamonds jewelry, silver

respected citizens was borne to its

cember 30th, 1913. Mr. Tedrow was
sick only a short time, acute appen-
dicitis was the cause of his death.
He took sick the day following
Christmas and on Saturday evening
death came torelieye him of his suf-
ferings which were severe, but of a
short duration. The" deceased was
born at Laurel Hill, nine miles dis-
tant from Centreville, August, 7th,

of age.
Funeral services were conducted at

MRS MARGARET NEWMAN.
Mrs. Margaret Newman, died at
the home of her son Elijah Newman
on Friday January 2nd, 1913, after a
prolonged illness caused by the in-
firmities ‘of old age. Mrs. Newman
was cheerful to the last, but prayed
that the end might come soon to
hasten her spirit to the better world,
ware, cut glass, etc.
The bank claims that Barron was
insolvent when he, made all these |
transactions, and as he received no
money or other valuable consideration!
for his property he disposed of it for |
the purpose of defrauding his credit-
ors. Itisalleged that Barron’sscheme |
culminated in his executors filing an |
incomplete inventory and appraisment
of his estate.
Because he was insolvent and re-
ceived no money or value for the
property he transferred and because
he made such transfers for the pur-
pose of placing his property beyond
the reach of his creditors, the bank
claims that such transfers were illegal
and void, and that it is the duty of the
executors to institute proceedings to
recover such property for the benefit
of creditors.
The Barron estate was sued some
time ago for $43,000 in eivil court, alleg
ing that he took thatamount from the
bank’s vault on March 13, 1913. At
the time of his suicide a criminal
charge was pending against him in
the United States district court at
Pittsburgh in which it was alleged
by President Sipe that Barron em-
bezzled that amount of money from
the bank.

CLEANING UP HYNDMAN
Hyndman, that staid, sober, dry
town is undergoing a ‘‘cleaning up”’
process. A real live policeman is on
duty and for a start he swooped down
on a poker game in the wee small
hours of Sunday morning several
weeks ago
As he passed Kelly Gaster’s barber
shop he heard such remarks as ‘‘ante
up there’’ and ‘‘ace high’’ and ‘‘gim-
me two’’ and he observed through a
crack in the door a poker game in
full blast.
He summoned Constable Bowser
and what they did to that poker game
is awful to relate.
Several well known characters were
haled before the bar of justice and
fined $10 and costs. It is said this is
