Hallstead - The State Constabulary made a raid on the place of L. E. Tiffany on the night of June 14th and made a large haul of gamblers and gambling apparatus. For a long time past some of the best citzens of Hallstead have been making complaints to D.A. Ferguson to the effect that Mr. Tiffany was keeping a gambling house. The D.A. Secured a member of the state police to appear in plain clothes and get acquainted with the “boys” and he soon got in their good graces. The officer went to Susquehanna and reported of his progress and it was planned that all would be on the job on the evening of June 14. Warrants were sworn out and about 10 o’clock four members of the constabulary and the D.A. proceeded to Hallstead in Automobiles. Admission to the joint was easily obtained by the plain clothes member, who was followed by the other three. Mr. Tiffany and all in the game were placed under arrest with gambling evidence. Tiffany and Wm. Haganaw waived a hearing and entered bail for their appearance at court; the rest of the crowd was held as witness.

Auburn - The Auburn and Rush poor farm has a surplus of hay on hand and have sold it for $14 per ton, hauling it to Meshoppen, eleven miles at least. Some farmers think hay will bring a good price next winter and will pay to hold over. ALSO: The veterans of the Civil War, who were residents of the Auburn, are very few in number now. Perhaps one--half dozen from the township may go to Gettysburg, but it is doubtful.

South Gibson - Ralph Lewis, a South Gibson boy, while shooting crows on the Belcher farm, about a mile from the town, was very much surprised to see a black bear come nosing along. He was armed with only a small 22--calibre rifle, but that did not deter him from killing the animal, although it required three shots to do it. It has been many a year since bears were seen around here, but it is believed that bruin has for some time resided in the wilds of Elk Mountain, a few miles away. The youthful hunter was the cynosure of many admiring eyes, being a second only to that of the bear. It weighed 132 pounds.

For many years the bride has been a school teacher in the Susquehanna County and since the death of the late Miss O’Reilly, has been in charge of the choir serving faithfully as organist and vocalist.

Forest City - John Lukus, Archie Perry, John Brink and W.J. Bryant were fishing at Miller’s pond the first of the week. They came to Herrick Center and were at Flynn’s hotel for supper when a stranger walked up and demanded to see their fish. They willingly complied with the request when the aforesaid stranger announced that he was W.C. Shoemaker, of Laceyville, and that he was state game warden and that their presence was desired in Judge Bowell’s court, whither the fisherman went. The judge imposed a modest fine of $80, or $10 for each fish, and $2 was assessed for trimmings. The fish, it is said, were 11 ½” in length, being ½ inch less then legal size.
