Just then she sneezed violently and the

The incident passed entirely out of her
mind. One day last week, however,
Mrs. Ambergris, who is now an elderly
woman, felt a tingling sensation in the
middle finger of her left hand. She
looked at the finger and saw something

Mr. George H. Suhrie made THE STAR
a pleasant visit, Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Suhrie is an old newspaper man
and printer of wide experience. With
Lou A. Smith as a partner, he was one
of the founders of the Salisbury Inde-
pendent, about the year 1871, which
paper flourished for a time under the
firm name of Suhrie & Smith. Mr.
Suhrie was also employed in the Mejy-
ersdale Commercial office for a number
of years, and he undoubtedly made
that paper what it was when it was yet
at its best, which was some twenty
years ago. Later he published the
Meyersdale Register, which was as
able a paper as Meyersdale ever had,
but which was discontinued after an
existence of four years or more. For a
number of years Mr. Suhrie was fore-
man of the job printing department of
the Altoona Gazette, but since the first
of the present year he has not followed
the printing’ business regularly, al-
though he has not abandoned it entire-
ly. e has been visiting friends in
Salisbury and other parts of Somerset
county during the past few weeks.
An Open Apology.
To Wrox IT May CONCERN :—
Through listening to representations
made by other persons whom I am now
fully convinced were only trying to
stir up trouble and dissatisfaction con-
cerning a gun I purchased from P. L.
Livengood, I, in an unguarded moment,
become unreasonable and openly as-
serted to certain people that the said
P. L. Livengood had not dealt honora-
bly with me, and sold me a gun which
was not what he represented it to be.
I now am fully convinced that I was
mistaken, that I had no cause for com-
plaint, and that in saying what I did I
wronged Mr. Livengood, for which I am
sorry, and take this way of setting mat-
ters right. Respectfully,
L. 8S. FoLk.

A Determined Suicide.
As the engineer of the Connellsville
accommodation was approaching Cas-
selman, Monday of last week, he no-
ticed a man sitting on a low bank be-
side the track. He blew his whistle to
warn the man, who, instead of getting
out of the way of danger, waited until
the train was within 75 feet of him and
then deliberately placed his neck on
the rail, and his head was cut clean off
his body.
When the engineer saw the stranger
was bent on self-destruction, he jerked
his emergency brake so suddenly that
passengers in the rear coaches were
jolted in their seats, but the effort came
too late. There were no marks on the
body of the dead man by which he
could be identified, so the body was
brought to Somerset and buried at the
county home cemetery, says the Somer-
set Democrat.

Fish for Everybody.
A statement given out Friday by
United States Fish Commissioner Bow-
ers, regarding interior waters, may be
of interest. Somerset county abounds
with just such creeks and ponds as he
refers to, and nowhere else in the
country are the natural conditions
better adapted to fish culture than in
Somerset.
Commissioner Bowers says that the
waters of the interior have been replen-
ished with what are regarded as the’
most desirable indigenous fish, and
each year larger numbers of large-
mouth and small-mouth bass are plant-
ed. Innumerable small lakes and
ponds, many of them artificial, have
been stocked, and these often constitute
the only source of food fish for the
community.
Under the bureau’s poliey, the small
farmer, the owner of private reserves
and the sportsmen’s club may have
waters in which they are interested
planted with the most suitable fishes.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Horse Frightens at Automobile and
Injures Three People—Prose-
cution Threatened.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr. and
Mrs. D. Compton, accompanied by a
little daughter aged three or four years,
drove to Meyersdale in a buggy, where
they met with a bad accident.
While in the vicinity of the J.J.
Hoblitzell residence, on Salisbury
street, they were driving north, when
L. F. Hoffman, in his automobile, came
around the corner at the John Cover
residence and headed southward to-
ward Compton’s approaching buggy.
Compton’s horse took fright and ran
‘away, throwing the occupants out of
the buggy and injuring them all more
or less. Mr. Compton sustained no
serious injuries, but his wife and child
were badly hurt. One of Mrs. Comp-
ton’s arms was broken, one knee very
badly injured, and she was also hurt
and bruised very badly in various
places about her body. The little
daughter’s head struck a telephone pole
a glancing blow, which rendered her
unconscious for quite a while, but we
are glad to note that the child is able
to be about and does not appear to
have been seriously injured. Ie
considerable time will elapse before
Mrs. Compton’s recovery will be com-
plete, and it may be that she will have
a crippled knee for life. She is being
cared for at the home of her mother,
Mrs. John Stotler, in Meyersdale.
Mr. Compton threatens to bring suit
for damages against Mr. Hoffman, as
Mrs. Compton claims that while her
husband was trying to keep the horse
under control she called repeatedly to
the man in the automobile to stop, and
tried her best to flag his machine to a
standstill by waving her hand at him.
The lady alleges further that Hoffman
paid not the least attention to her cries
and jestures, and that he did not seem
to care whether the horse ran away or
not.
If Mrs. Compton can substantiate
her allegations, then Hoffman should
be made to suffer the fullest penalty of
the law, and also to pay heavy dam-
ages. However, in this connection it
is but fair to give Mr. Hoffman’s ver-
sion, also, of the affair.
Hoffman informs THE STAR that he
has ever been careful to avoid acci-
dents while out automobiling, and in
this particular ease he says he imme-
diately ran his machine to one side of
the street and came to a full stop, as
soon as he rounded the corner and saw
that Mr. Compton’s horse showed signs
of fright. He says he allowed the
buggy to pass him, and did not start
his machine again until the horse
seemed to be over his fright, and at
what he considered a safe distance.
Then he started his machine, he says,
and knew nothing of the accident until
after he returned to town some time
later. Mr. Hoffman seems to regret
the accident very much, but seems to
feel that he took all reasonable pre-
cautions to avoid it, and he says he can
prove his version of the affair by five
reputable people who were eye wit-
nesses to it all.
Now, if Mr. Hoffman’s allegations
are true, he did all that could be rea-
sonably expected of any man under
such circumstances, and if he can sub-
stantiate his statement, he should not
be prosecuted. But, of course, we do
not know whose story is the correct
one, and people must draw their own
conclusions.
