BELIEVE MINER IS VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY George Bachule, 45, 45, Found Dead in Shanty at Jenners with Neck Broken—Woman Finds Body. Presumably a victim of foul play, George Bachule, aged about 45 years, employed as a miner by the Davis Coal & Coke Company, was found dead Monday afternoon in his shanty at Jenners No. 2, near Bos- well. The victim’s neck was broken. Discovery of the lifeless body, which was lying on a bed, was made by a neighbor woman, who started an investigation after failing to see Bachule around for .several days. The police were notified and County Detectives Ed. Darr and Bert F. Lan- dis from the District Attorney’s of- fice and Coroner H. S. Kimmell, all of Somerset. went to Boswell to make an investigation. Examination of the body disclosed a bruise mark on the nose, which was the only mark found on the body, though his face was smeared with blood. There was a large pool of blood on the floor near the bed. Investigation by the police and Coroner also revealed that an attempt apparently had been made to revive the victim with cold water, as a bucket containing some water was sitting on the floor and the floor was water-soaked. Coroner Kimmell, after viewing the body and conducting his investi- gation, announced that the victim came to his death from causes un- known. Though no clues were un- covered by the county officers they will continue their investigation in hope of clearing up the case. The body was turned over to Un- dertaker Walter S. Hoffman and on Tuesday was taken in charge by the County Home authorities for burial. window. It is attracting the atten- tion of practically every passerby and the kiddies can be seen by the score watching the chicks. Includ- ed in the shipment are White Leg- horns, Barred and White Plymouth Rocks and a host of others. MEYERSDALE TEAM | THIRTY YEARS AGO Do You Remember—How Mey- ersdale Did Wallop That Mid- land Aggregation. ‘ Saturday morning the Meyersdale Base-Ballists left for Midland, Md, to play a return game with that club. The game on the home ground with the same club the week before result- ed in a shut out for the Midlands and but for a few costly errors on the part of the Meyersdale players the same state of affairs would have ex- isted in the game at Midland. Along about the sixth inning when Midland scored 2 runs, it appeared that they were getting our boys “on the run,” some of them becoming more or less “rattled,” but Riley with more than an ordinary streak of good pitching came gallantly to their res- cue snatching order from pandmon- ium. A feature of the game was the excellent work of the out field of the Meyersdale team, Carey and Neith having 7 put outs between them. The boys speak in terms of highest praise of the treatment they received at the hands of manager Murphy and the Midland people. Following is the : tabulation score of the game: RHP AE 1 Midland Cunningham 1,...... ...... Jacks’n 1 Firle, Barns, Entler, Robertson, Kenny, m.. Mowen, 3...
