Uniondale – For the second time within a few weeks we have been visited by the Ku Klux Klan. Both visits were made on a Saturday night. We were visited by probably 100 of the hooded fraternity, whose ceremony was witnessed by many of our people from a distance. They came and placed a blazing cross on the hill near the schoolhouse. They vanished in the darkness tooting their automobile horns and making as much noise as they possibly could. In a larger town they would have been held for disorderly conduct. They came and they go unmolested. From whence they come no one knows. [The Klan opposed Jews, Black people, Catholics and newly arriving Southern and Eastern European immigrants. Wikipedia] ALSO An airplane was seen here Wednesday. It seemed to be looking for a landing place. Not finding one suitable it moved northward. It flew low and was the object of much attraction.

New Milford – Miss Gladys Flynn entertained her pupils at a masquerade party at her home in Great Bend. Those present were: Marjorie Lewis, Ruth Powers, Edith Thompson, Edna Chandler, Mary Galucci, Eugenia Houlihan, Lloyd Tyler, Charles Otis, Louis Burdick, Mary Pressman, Raymond Gunn, Helena Hand, Ralph Stevens, Margaret Smith, Harold Stone and Maude Birtch.

Birchardville – Stanley Warner, one of our oldest citizens, died Nov. 1st, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Fessenden. Another old soldier has gone. [Stanley and his brother, Asa, joined Capt. John Morris’s regiment, Co. H, 143rd Regt. PA Volunteers, in 1862, and participated in numerous battles of the Civil War, including Gettysburg and the Wilderness.]

Lenoxville – A very sad accident occurred Friday, when Edward Decker, age 8, son of Mr. & Mrs. Ivan Decker, was instantly killed. The accident occurred near the Wilson school. A number of boys, engaged in Hallowe’en amusements, jumped on an auto truck, which was bringing supplies for a social. The driver was unaware that the boys had climbed on the truck and the Decker youth, in some manner, lost his hold and fell under the wheels. When picked up he was lifeless. He was a bright little fellow and greatly loved by his playmates. The accident cast a gloom over the community and much sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents and family.

Dimock – It seems that the family of F. L. Muzzy are having more than their share of trouble of late. First, Mr. Muzzy was badly injured by an ensilage cutter, and does not gain as it would seem he should; next came the death of his mother, Roxanna, and now, lastly, two horses, one a fine large black mare, the other a large sorrel with white stripe in the face, slightly lame in one foot, have been missing since Hallowe’en night. It is hoped that some track of this team can soon be found, as Mr. Muzzzy’s condition is not helped by such worriments. ALSO Byron Benninger, Dimock’s hustling representative of the “Pine Tree Milking Machine,” is installing many of these machines in dairies through the county.

Jackson – Thieves broke into the W. E. Babcock garage and repair shop.  They entered through a window, a pane of glass being carefully removed and found leaning up against the building. Saws and various other articles were taken. One possible clue were wagon tracks near the garage.

Montrose/Fairdale – There is considerable criticism of the manner in which the pave between the above places has been finished off, it being very rough in places. The impression that it has been slighted and will not stand up under the elements and traffic, has become prevalent among those who have investigated the matter, and before it is accepted by the State Highway Department it is probable one or more portions of it will be relaid. The cut through the Arthur E. Robinson farm, while shortening the route slightly, is a heavy 10% grade and is condemned by autoists and teamsters alike. When the winter snows blow over the hill it is going to be a difficult matter to keep the cut open.

Forest City – Farmers have been notified that they can secure coal here only on Wednesdays, and not then if the quota has been filled. ALSO Hallowe’en was duly observed here. Young people paraded the streets in costumes, which elected much favorable comment. Many social events were staged and all entered into the merriment of the occasion. ALSO Headless Man Believed a Suicide: It appears that Lewis Brasnaker and two other men brought suit before a justice for $200 for labor on the Clinton township roads. The suit was decided against them and it is believed Brasnaker brooded over the affair and finally, in fit of despondency, ended his life.

Montrose – Mrs. Anna Magnotti, aged 72 years, a native of Naples Italy, died at the home of her son, Anthony, on Locust Street, Oct. 30th. Her death followed a week’s illness, due to paralysis. She had resided here about 31 years and is survived by two sons, Anthony and Philip. Her funeral was held in St. Mary’s church, W. J. Gibson, officiating.

Brooklyn – We boast the best “kid wagon” in this part of the country. Mr. Rynearson, of Hop Bottom, has purchased an enclosed bus in which he brings to the high school over thirty pupils from the Kingsley route each day.

Marriage Licenses: A Leroy Aldrich, E. Bridgewater and Mabel C. Tyler, Montrose; Harold E. Everett and Dorothy O. Travis, both of Lawsville; Clyde D. Crosier and Marion Irene Jones, both of Lanesboro; Ernest Benscoter, and Alice Smith, both of South Montrose.

Indian Murders: From Ft. Crawford, Sept. 3d, we have accounts of several murders by the Indians. Two deserters from St. Anthony were found on the road to St. Louis, killed and scalped by the Chippewas. And four respectable men, on their way from the Prairie [Prairie du Chien] to St. Anthony, were killed and scalped by a war party of the same tribe. Much excitement is caused by these atrocious acts.
