Thompson - One of the two Fokker planes being flown from Curtis Field, Long Island, to Detroit to participate in the Ford Reliability Tour, was forced down by engine trouble at Coxton Lakes near the Wayne county line. One wing and the propeller were damaged, but none of the five passengers were seriously injured. The plane had been in the air only one hour when the trouble was encountered. The pilot said it would require only a day or two to make the necessary repairs. All five occupants of the Fokker were badly shaken up. The plane came down in a rough field on the Thomas Harris farm, about 12 miles from Susquehanna borough. The machine was loaded on a car two days later and shipped back to the flying field. [Another report said the plane landed, gradually descending for a distance of five miles, at the Charley Corey place, near Lake Coxton. Three of the aeronauts of the wrecked airplane were entertained at “Cousin Mabel’s Inn.”]

Uniondale - Michael Bosack, one of the men wanted in connection with the murder of Burns Lyon, of this place, in October of 1921, was placed in the county jail. Bosack was arrested in Portsmouth, Va., last week, by Baltimore detectives who learned that he was a member of the crew of lighthouse tender, No. 195. The murder of Lyon was one of the worst ever known in the county. He was attacked in his barn and beaten into unconsciousness, a roll of bills alleged to be in the neighborhood of $2,000 was stolen.

Montrose - The first football game of the season was played at Athletic Park, when the Montrose team met the West Side Bulldogs, of Binghamton. The game resulted in a tie, each eleven scoring six points. Moore of the Bulldogs and Corwin of the home team were the star players. Harry Schlegel coached the local team. The cheer leaders are Doris Palmer, John Armstrong and Edwin Gardner. The upcoming game with the Keystone Reserves is expected to be a snappy one, as the Keystones are a well-trained, speedy organization. ALSO The Scranton, Binghamton & Montrose trolley line has announced reduced fares for round trip tickets between Montrose and Scranton, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Adults are $1.75 and children, 6 to 12 years, $1.00. For a hundred-mile ride this is a most reasonable figure.

Auburn Center - A large number of friends gathered at the hall to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Chester Evans, who were expected here that night.

News Brief: Many communities in this county are neglectful in the matter of posting signs at road intersections. Motor cars bring scores of people from distant places into localities every day, and unless the roads are marked with proper guide posts these people are at a loss to know which road to take. Sign posts will bring more people into your town, and more people mean more business.

Montrose Academy is now bidding fair to become such an institution as will do credit to the place, and make itself known and respectable among other Seminaries of the kind. This Academy has hitherto been peculiarly unfortunate, but we are flattered with its present prospects. Scholars from a distance are encouraged to become students at this institution, from the consideration that a competent teacher is employed—the healthful situation of the town, and the cheapness of board.
