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:

Berie’s Cleaning Shop
Buys Delivery Truck
SHE Se
Beries Dry Cleaning Shop pur-
chased a Chevrolet delivery truck
last week from The Sellers Motor
Co., local distributors of the Chev-
rolet car in Meyersdale. The
truck~ is fully equipped in every
way, having a compartment in the
rear where the garments can be
hung up very nicely without being
wrinkled or molested. We feel
sure this purchase was a very wise
investment as it will be a very great
help in their work.
Increase in Road Tax
Refused Greenville Twp.
The meeting of Greenville township
supervisors met at Somerset, Monday,
March 11th, for the purpose of in-
creasing millage and was very large-
ly attended. Seventeen citizens were
present, representing the tax payers
of the townshin, assisted by B. B.
Boose, attorney. The court ruled,
that no increase of millage be grant-
ed at present time, as the taxes at
present time, is 15 mills. Supervi-
sors asked for 5 mills increase, which
was objected to.

INDUSTRIAL SURVEY
OF MEYERSDALE
A. H. Johnson & Co.
Monumental Works
February 15, 1906, Alex Johnson
started in the monumental business
in Meyersdale and has been in busi-
ness at the same location ever since.
When starting in business in 1906,
Mr. Johnson employed but one man.
While today he has employed dur-
ing the winter months nine men and
in the summer fourteen men. = He
also employs two salesmen who are
located in West Virginia, namely:
John Armstrong and John Harsh.
The business at the present time is
conducted under the name of A. H.
Johnson & Co. Memorial Works.
Included in the machinery in-
stalled in the plant are seven motors
which have 50 H. P., a polishing
machine, which polishes both gran-
ite and marble, one surfacing ma-
chine which is used for rough cut-
ting on the granite and marble, one
six-ton over head crane which is
used in handling the raw material,
one five-ton over head crane which
is used in handling the finished pro-
ducts, three large air compressors
which furnish air for the pneumatic
tools which are used at the plant.
They have in use at the plant a
sand blasting machine which is the
only one in use between Baltimore,
Md., and Pittsburgh, Pa.
The plant used last year between
12 and 14 car loads of raw material.
The company carries a weekly pay-
roll of $365.00, which is a wonder-
ful help to Meyersdale.
