Several women who claim to reside in
Meyersdale have lately been doing some
wholesale begging in this town. From
inquiries Trak STAR has made, itis safe
to say that those women are frauds. If
they are worthy of charity, and really

take care of them. :

large practice is all that one man can at:

Few people know that there was a a very
sad funeral in town the other day, yet
such was the case. Old Jack, Henry
Loechel's well known and famous old rat.
dog, was in this case the victim of the
**grim renper” and died of old age. He
clawed at the door on Tuesday nioriing
and gave signs that he wanted to go out.
When the door was opened he deliberate
lv walked down to the stable, laid, ipwn
and died. As soon as Ed and Lester
found this out—they who for’ years were
old Jack's friends and playmates, exten:
sive preparations were made for a first:
class funeral, Of course the boys shed
tears, but after Jack was putina snug
coffin and a funeral sermon was preached
by Rev. Davy Livengood, they all felt
better. He was then laid to rest ina
neatly dog grave, Ed Loechel acting as
undertaker and chief mourber. The de-
ceased was 14 years old. and in his {ime
was the most noted rat dog in all these
parts. This notice is published by re-
quest of the boys, who claim that a good
dog is worthy of a respectable write-up

Last week we received an anonymous
letter for publication, which was ‘duly
consigned to the waste-basket. The let
ter was a good one and worthy of pub:
lication, but not knowing who wrote, it,
and the fact that the manuscript was
written on both sides of the paper, of
course it had to be rejected. Since that
the writer has made himself known and
sent in another letter tor ‘publication.
His last letter was signed all right, ‘also
written on but one side of the paper; but
we must again good-naturedly refuse the
writer space for his letter, for fersons
as follows: The letter is entirely too
personal and would accomplish ‘nothing
but a continued and useless tight through
our columns, which would be very dis-
tasteful to the majority of our readers.
Furthermore; it would hurt the writer's.
cause more than it would benefit it.

More Burglary in Meversdale, 4
11}-fated Meyersdale was again in the
hands of burglars on Tuesday night.
THE STAR will not attempt to go into
lengthy details concerning the affair, for
no two people tell the same story about
it. Even the Meyersdale papers are wide
apart in their write-up of the sensation.
but it is a positive fact that Lint's gro-
cery store was entered and about $75
stolen therefrom. : The thieves also made
an attempt to burglarize John Olinger's
residence, but they were discovered by
Mr. Olinger and their plans were foiled.
The Meyersdale policeman got wind of
what was going on when the attempt
was made at Olinger's and he and the
burglars exchanged several shots with
each other, none of which hit anybody.
The raid on Lint’s store was made after
the attempt to rob Mr. Olinger.” The
burglars have not yet been captured,
neither is there any positive lu as to
their identity.
To Whom it May Concern.
Last week in introducing our readers
to some of our would-be annihilators,
who reside in Nebraska. considerable at-
tention was paid to W. W. Lichty, a once
noted bootleg saloon keeper,
ple have since asked us whether it can
be possible that this W. W. Lichty is the
son of our highly-respected fellow citi-
zen, Mr. B. J. Lichty, knownig that he
has a son residing in Carleton, Neb.
For the information of the public we
will state that W, W. Lichty is not a son
of Samuel J. Lichty, of Salisbury, and
is no near kin of his. | Samuel J. Lichiy’s
son in Carleton, Neb., is W. 8. Liehty,
one of the men that town has always felt
proud of. W. 8. Lichty is not in the
muss at all, and all the time we lived
in Carleton we never knew him to have
his nose in other people’s business, which
one or two of our other esteemed Som-
erset county folks out there have always
been noted for. No, gentle reader, W.
w. Lichty ia not a native of this town;
