We are informed he was on the operating table over an hour, withstood the ordeal very well and the latest reports are he is resting comfortably.

Montrose – There was a somewhat remarkable chance gathering at the office of Comrade M. H. VanScoten, Monday afternoon. While seated at his desk, Wm. K. Tripper, of Brooklyn, NY, who is here visiting D. A. Titsworth and other friends in Montrose and Brooklyn township, where he resided many years ago, called and while they were visiting, Calvin Gay, of Sayre, and James Gay, of Montrose, also dropped in to see Mr. VanScoten.

The gentleman in charge was so badly shaken up, though not seriously injured, that he was removed to the hospital at Scranton. Dr. Merrill, of Hallstead, accompanied him. The wrecking crew from Scranton was on the scene immediately and had the track cleared for traffic within three hours. ALSO As E. W. Morgan and Rev. Eugene Helm were returning from Susquehanna Sunday afternoon in Mr. Morgan’s Ford runabout, they ran into the sand, overturning the car and pinning Rev.

It was three and a half hours before they got help to get the car up again, although it was not damaged very much.

Forest City – The Bachelors, that well known organization of young men which has been instrumental in furnishing a number of very pleasant social occasions in the past, gave their annual Autumn dance in the Borough building last evening. The hall was beautifully decorated. Lynott’s orchestra, which furnished the music never rendered a more entrancing program and it was a light footed and happy throng that went through the steps of the beautiful dances.  The Bachelors have surely scored another success and the young people will look forward with pleasant anticipation to the next affair to be given by that popular social organization. ALSO Gideon A. Shepherd, one of Forest City’s oldest and most respected citizens, answered the final summons on Monday morning after an illness of two years. He was a skilled woodworker and was employed by the Hillside company for 22 years, much of that time superintending the carpenter work of the company.

News Brief:  The climax to a season of startling surprises in baseball arrived when the Boston Braves, hopelessly tail enders in the National league until after the Fourth of July, won their fourth straight game and the world’s championship from the Philadelphia Athletics, who up to a week ago were rated as the greatest team assembled in recent years. This notable triumph was the most stunning form reversal ever featured in a world’s series. For the first time in the history of world’s championships only four games were required to settle the issue, and the Braves are the first team to win in the least possible number of games. The scores of the four games were as follows: first, 7 to 1; second, 1 to 0; third, 5 to 4 (twelve innings); fourth, 3 to 1.
