Lanesboro - A terrible accident occurred Sunday, when an automobile driven by George Romaine, of Johnson City, stalled on the track of the D. & H. railroad at Lanesboro, just as a fast freight, bound for Carbondale, came running around the curve and before the occupants could move struck it broadside. The automobile and occupants struck the passenger station some 30 ft. distant, with a terrible crash. Men in the station rushed to aid of the injured and found George Terrell, aged 45, was dead; his wife, Phebe, aged 28, died in the Barnes Hospital. Their little son, Raymond, three years of age, was found on the floor of the waiting room of the station, having been hurled through a large window. He suffered terrible cuts and a broken leg. Two men were also in the car, both seriously injured. The Terrells lived in Brandt until Mr. Terrell secured work in Binghamton. He came to Brandt to take his wife and son to Binghamton when the accident happened.

Lackawanna Trail - James Casey, aged 21, son of Mrs. John Casey, of Montrose, was instantly killed in an automobile collision on the Lackawanna Trail, Oct. 10th. The car in which he was riding collided with a car coming from the opposite direction. His companions in the car, Regis Dolan, who was driving, and Francis and Paul Shea, all escaped with slight injuries. The accident happened not far from Woodward’s dance hall. The young men had been at Hallstead and as they neared the junction with the Montrose Trail they decided to go to Woodward’s for a lunch. It was early in the morning and all were tired and dozed off. Dolan later expressed belief that this was the cause of the accident. The party in the other car, Harold Whitney and wife, said that they saw the car coming, wobbling back and forth across the pave, and he got off the pave, but the car grazed his machine in passing and flipped over, causing young Casey’s death.

Heart Lake - One cottage was burned and another partially consumed on Sunday evening, while a third was on fire, which was extinguished. All three were the property of Reeves Darling, of Binghamton, who owns four cottages on the lake. When the fire was discovered it was thought that the large ice house was burning, and many from Montrose went there to give aid. The cottage, known as “The Klondike,” nearby, was wreathed in flames when the fire was observed, and due to the limited facilities to fight the blaze, it could not be saved. The fact that two other cottages were also on fire indicated that the origin of the blazes might be of an incendiary nature. Evidence was found that mattresses in the cottages were saturated with gasoline and ignited. The fires are being investigated by Trooper Brennan of the Wyoming Barracks.

Montrose - The first noticeable snowfall in the vicinity came Friday night and Saturday morning, October 10 & 11. It was unusually early for such pronounced winter weather, about 2 inches of snow falling, while the high wind made Saturday morning appear like a November day. The cold wave was felt all over the east and in many places in the state an inch or two of snow fell. This is said to be the earliest snowfall in this locality in 18 years.

Ararat - A three and one-half foot snow drift was measured here on Saturday morning. That beats anything we could produce in Montrose on that day, although it was wild and wooly with the ground frozen and the mercury hovering around 25.

Dimock - Much loss was sustained by the farmers who had not harvested all their garden crops and apples. Mr. Cope was perhaps the biggest loser in this vicinity, as his apple loss its estimated at $1,300 or over. However, despite wintery weather and snow, 300 were in attendance at the Community Fair, held Saturday. All outside events were called off, yet people kept coming from surrounding towns until the community building was filled.

Uniondale - Lester Carpenter came up from Scranton in his new Essex Six Coach and spent the week-end with his mother, Mrs. Nellie Carpenter, to whom he presented a fine Victrola and assortment of records.

Auburn Twp. - Last Saturday was one of the severest days that has been known for many years. It snowed practically all day accompanied by a severe north wind which made it tedious for man or beast to be out in. The thermometer registered 26 degrees in the morning and remained around freezing all day. Farmers haven’t got their potatoes dug yet, and grave fears are they are frozen, as Sunday morning ice measured one inch.

Forest City -With three fingers of his right hand so badly mangled by the explosion of a dynamite cap that they had to be amputated, Joseph Adlus, 10 year old Forest City boy, showed remarkable stoicism, Thursday afternoon, when he unflinchingly climbed on the operating table in emergency Hospital, Carbondale. He was also lacerated about the chest and head by the force of the explosion. It is stated that a boy schoolmate tossed the cap on his desk. The boy, unaware of its dangerous nature, cut into it with a knife. The resulting explosion hurled him to the floor. Dr. J. H. McGuire, who was inspecting the school, gave him first aid and hurried him to the hospital.

Millions Mourn - The entire nation was saddened to hear of the death of Christy Mathewson, probably the most famous character in national baseball history. His death was due to pneumonia.

Mathewson is credited with having had a wonderfully uplifting influence in the baseball world and all admired his sportsmanship and noble character. He was for years the hero of the diamond and never committed an act that lessened his fame in the eyes of his admirers. His funeral was held in Lewisburg, Pa. He is survived by his wife and son and his aged parents, Mr.and Mrs. G. D. Mathewson, of Factoryville, and a sister.
