Susquehanna - C. F. Wright ceased to be State Treasurer and turned over the keys of the office to his successor, Robert K. Young, who was elected at the general election last fall. Mr. Wright retires from office with one of the best records ever made by an official of this State and his departure from Harrisburg was a source of deep regret to all the officials and employees of the State who have come in contact with him during the three years that he has filled the position. ALSO: Walter Rutan, fireman, stationed at Susquehanna, running between that place and Hornell, says that the job of firing is not a “cinch” by any means, for in a day’s run he has to shovel 32 tons of coal.

New Milford - Of late there has been considerable complaint about town of thieving and malicious mischief. Coal, wood, chickens and other articles have been stolen. One night last week some malicious person, or persons, entered Mrs. Ainey’s yard and picked nearly all of the handsome flowers that she had taken so much care and expense to raise. These flowers were not only beautiful, but rare and different from anything ever before raised here. The guilty parties should be brought to justice as an example to others that such wanton maliciousness will not be tolerated. ALSO: The handsome residence of Lee J. DeWitt was totally consumed by fire on Wednesday. Sparks caught in the roof from torches being used to burn out worms’ nests in apple trees in the yard.

Auburn Twp. - The supervisors purchased a $2000 outfit to make good roads with and it seems to be rather an expensive luxury and so far has made heavy expense for the amount of work accomplished.

Silver Lake - Eight hundred acres of timber, most of which is primeval forest, was sold to the highest bidder, F. D. Gallup, of Smethport, who secured the entire tract on the Rose property, for $60,000. Mr. Gallup stated that he would cut the timber off so as to best conserve it, letting the growing timber remain to mature, and not leaving an unsightly tract when the cutting had been completed. Rev. Mr. Russell, a landowner here, would be given an opportunity to buy along the lakefront, thus retaining much of the beauty of the lake.

County Jail - Two prisoners attempted to get out of jail within a few weeks, but were discovered by Sheriff Reynolds before they could effect and escape. They pried up a part of the floor in their cell with a steam pipe they had wrenched loose, their intention being to get into the cellar and out into the jail yard by the coal chute. Then they would attempt scaling the wall. Later they had a short-term prisoner, when he was released, buy them some tobacco, and also two hacksaws, at a local hardware store. When the prisoner came back with the tobacco, the sheriff accompanied him to the cell when he handed it to them, and he had no opportunity to rid himself of the saws. Receiving a telephone message from the store, of the purchase of the saws, the sheriff had the “go-between” hand over the implements under threat of going back to his cell. The prisoners who attempted to escape were taken to the penitentiary last week.
