He says “John” was always a faithful, industrious, young man.

Montrose – S. G. Fancher, while hunting on Tuesday, was struck by a stray shot, which grazed his head, just back of the ear, but fortunately failed to pierce the scalp. It was a close call. He was sitting by a tree when startled by the report of a shot gun and a stinging sensation, and for a moment suspicioned that the open season for rabbits had been enlarged to include politicians. A shot had been fired by a companion hunter, which, striking a ledge of rocks rebounded at a sharp angle, with the above result. ALSO The D. Y. O. S. Club took up a collection amounting to $18, which will be used for little Ruth Smith, of Heart Lake, a wee sufferer with infantile paralysis. Ruth, with her brothers and sisters, was cared for by a widowed mother, who had generously opened her home, also, to an orphan child, a relative. The Club members became interested in Ruth and, through the help of Miss Borthwick, a state nurse, obtained admittance to an institution for children suffering from infantile paralysis. About three weeks ago, Miss Borthwick took the child to Philadelphia. After an examination it was decided that an operation was necessary and she was operated on at the Episcopal hospital. The mother’s name, before her marriage, was Miss Van Hoesen.

Susquehanna – An unfortunate shooting took place in the railroad yards here early Sunday morning. Arthur Bradstreet, a switchman, and one of the best-known and best-liked men in town, was shot through both legs by J. F. Duryea, lieutenant of the Erie police. Duryea claims that Bradstreet was trying to get away with a box taken from a freight car, which had been broken open. Erie Officer Guysee was with Duryea at the time and makes the same claim. Bradstreet is in such a serious condition that he has been unable to make a statement, but fellow railroaders are frank in stating that there was no reason for the shooting. Men at work in the yards at the time and within a short distance of where the shooting took place say that the officers made a mistake. Lt. Duryea says he will prefer charges against Bradstreet, and the indications are that Duryea will be prosecuted for doing the shooting. It is a most unfortunate case.

They searched two other Italians, one had his hunting coat full of cabbages and looked like a walking feather bed; the other had a live hen in his coat. (LeRaysville Times)

Laceyville – The fact that the Susquehanna river was many years ago classed among the navigable streams of the country makes the building of a bridge across it, without the consent of the War Department, illegal, was discovered when the work of repairing the Laceyville river bridge began several months ago. The bridge was built in 1898, and numerous bridges were constructed across the stream in previous years, but yet it was a technical violation of the rules and regulations of the U. S. War Department. Congressman McFadden has introduced a bill into congress that will clear the matter up all right, it is said.
