Lanesboro - What may result in a murder trial has been uncovered in the alleged poisoning of Willis Lee. Coroner Ray Lyons performed an autopsy on the dead man's body and found traces of arsenic, the stomach having been sent to Philadelphia for positive proof that the poison was present. The Lees are said to have had domestic troubles, Lee only recently returning from a month's absence, it being alleged he had eloped with another woman. Lee's death occurred Monday under circumstances that indicated arsenic poisoning. A resident stated that only a few days previous Mrs. Lee had asked him to buy some of the poison, handing him the money. The records at Mitchell's drug store, Susquehanna, show he purchased it. Mrs. Lee, however, when questioned by the coroner, said no arsenic had been in the house for two years. She said she was also ill at the same time as her husband, alleging ptomaine poisoning from canned tomatoes which both had eaten. If poisoning is established, interesting developments are expected.

Harford - The large creamery, of the Harford Dairy Co., was burned to the ground last Saturday, igniting from the smokestack of the engine room and the ice house nearby was also destroyed. The buildings were consumed in about an hour's time, it being impossible to cope with the flames with the town's water supply, the only water available being the creamery supply, which is received through an inch and a half pipe. The creamery is one of the largest in this section of the state and does a big business. Milk and cream are now being processed in the Gibson plant. Besides milk and cream the creamery also did a large business in butter and cheese. It is planned to erect, at once, a new building equipped with the most modern machinery. The creamery is the main business factor of the town.

St. Joseph - The dead body of Mrs. Earl VanCamp was found in the front yard of her home on Monday afternoon by two boys, sons of a neighbor named Sweeney, who were passing the house. Mrs. VanCamp had gone to the yard to feed some turkeys, her husband being at work in the field, and as she was a victim of epilepsy, her death was doubtless caused from an attack. Mr. VanCamp has been doubly bereaved within the past few months, an infant son dying during the winter. The couple were married a year ago last New Year's day.

Sayre, Bradford Co. - Andy Mallady, a Sayre balloonist, while making a parachute drop at Troy, Bradford county, the 4th, struck the roof of the court house in landing. He grasped an ornament on the cornice, which gave way, and he fell in plain view of hundreds of spectators to the stone sidewalk. Strong men turned their faces away and women screamed as he struck the pavement with a thud that could be heard for blocks. The ornament also fell upon him, injuring his head. Despite internal injuries and also to his back and sustaining a broken wrist, he is in a fair way towards recovery.
