HELFRIcH CAUGHT.
Missing Assessor and Collector, of
Elmore County is in the Tolls.

Gilmore County is in the Tolls.
Especial to The Herald)
POCATELLO, Ida, Aug. 24.-Sheriff
Oliver, of Mountain Home, passed through
the city early this morning, having in
charge ]. D. Helfrich, the missing as
SCISSOR and collector from Elmore county.
Helfrich appropriated $4,000 of the county
funds last February and left the county,
and all efforts to locate him proved futile
until three weeks ago, when Sheriff Oliver
was notified by telegraph that a man an
swering the description was then in Flag
staff, Ariz under the name Of j. D..
Rikewinie. The sheriff started for Ari-
iona, and upon his arrival found Helfrich,
alias Rikewinie, to be the right man, and
after securing the necessary requisition
papers left for Idaho.
Helfrich was scarcely recognized by his
friends upon reaching Mountain Home to-
day, and his appearance would indicate
that he had suffered much physically.

HAS HAD ENOUGH.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA special
from Ottawa, Ont, says:
Major-General Cameron, command
ant of the Royal Military college at
Kingston, has resigned.
Many complaints have been made of
the manner in which the affairs of the
college have been conducted and Gen.
eral Cameron who is a son-in-law Of
Sir Charles Topper, has frequently
been the subject of severe criticism in
the Dominion parliament.
1t has always been understood that
a change of government in Canada
would mean the generals resignation.

THE STEED WAS MAD.
Hotel Proprietor Receives Severe In
juries as a. Consequence.

BLOOMFIELD, N. j., Aug. 24-Wal-
lace Lyon, proprietor of the Washing
ton hotel. in the Brookdale section,
was bitten severely by a horse yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Lyon entered the
stall to feed the animal and it suddenly
gave a scream of anger and fastened
its teeth in his back near the left
shoulder. At the same time the horse
kicked at him with his forefeet.
Mr.. Lyon struck the horse on the
head with a wooden measure. The
animal loosened it's grip on his back,
and he sprang out of the stall, as the
horse tried to bite him again.
He went to the hotel and with a
farm hand returned to the stable and
found the horse frothing at the mouth
and Juggling at its halter. He at once
got a rifle and shot the mad beast.
Mr.. Lyon now remembers that about
four months ago the horse was bitten
by a dog on one of it's hind legs, but
he thought little of it at the time. The
wound on his back was cauterized.

BOUND OVER TO COURT.

A large crowd of people gathered
in the Office of John NJ. Clark Esq,
last Friday morning to hear the evi-
dence in action Of an aggravated
assault and battery brought by DIR. l..
w. Willis against James Barkle. 1t
appears that the defendant met the
doctor Thursday evening about six
o'clock on Market street near the resi-
del.ce of Mr.. JAG Keller and after a
short conversation and without any
warning struck him over the head with
fence picket which he had in his
hand.
The doctor wore at the time straw
hat on his head which undoubte dly
saved his skull from being fractured.
AS it was his hat was cut and other
wise damaged. Had it not been for
the arrival of E. p. Williams on the
scene at this time there is no telling
what would have been the result OF
the alteration as he was following up
the attack when restrained by Mr..
Williams. The defendant who was
intoxicated then went to his home on
the Light Street road and we are in
formed abused his family and kicked
in a neighbor's door, and from there
went to Orangeville. The doctor laid
an information before Justice Clark
upon which a warrant was issued and
placed in the hands of Constable
Laycock, who arrested him at the
above named place. AT the hearing
the defendant admitted his guilt, but
said he did not intend to kill him but
merely intended giving him a good
thrashing.
He waived hearing and was order
ed to give bail in the sum of five
hundred dollars for his appearance al
the next term of Court, which was
furnished by David Jones.

THE ELEVATOR WORKS.
A Newly Re- organized Industry Starts out
With Brilliant Prospects for Success.

The Bloomsbury Elevator and Ma
chine works is the name of an indus
try doing business on Ninth Street in
this Town and although it has not
had the age of many Of the other
plants yet it already promises to be-
come one of the leading industries of
this place. The building which is
brick 5oxISo feet and two stories
high was erected by a company in
1894 of which George r. Stevens was
President, John P. Casey, Vice Presi-
dent and ID. S. Cam Secretary and
Treasurer. Business was conducted
by the above named management
until December 1895 when the plant
was sold to trustees for the bond
holders who reopened the same a
short time since by securing 7. B.
Norris, of Lancaster, Pa, as general
manager. In addition to the above
mentioned building there is large
engine house, in which there is a
sixty horse power engine which is
used as the motive power for driving
the vast amount of machinery as well
as furnishing light and heat for the
building.
The first floor is divided into wood
and machine shops each of which is
equipped with the latest improved ma
chlnery, consisting of Pratt and
Whitney Drill presses, Betz boring
mills, Detrken Harvey open side iron
planers, 50 inches Whitney gear cut.
ter, Putnam Lathes &c. The second
floor is used as pattern shop, drawing
rooms, Office &c, and the floors are
connected by two elevators which are
used not only to show customers, but
to transport people and material from
one floor to the other. 1t has been
said by many practical men whe have
examined this plant that there is not
a better or more fully equipped one
in the country. The building is heat
ed by steam and lighted by electricity
which they produce themselves. The
present management is A. Z. Schoch,
President, c. c. Peacock Treasurer
and c. Watson McKelvy Secretary
and John B. Norris General Manager
all of whom are men of ripe business
experience, and if industry and strict
attention to the details of the business
count for anything we expect in the
near future to see the Bloomsbury
Elevator and Machine Works assume
its proper position with the other
industries of the Town. Although
they have only been in operation a
short time, and no extra effort has been
made to sell their products, still they
have built and sold five elevators and
have several orders on their books.
Whilst the principal business of this
factory is the manufacture of hydrau-
lie, electric, steam, belt and hand
power elevators and automatic guards,
doors and gates, they are prepared to
do general machine repairs, which by
reason of superior machinery and first
class mechanics they can turn out
upon short notice. We extend to
Mr.. Norris hearty welcome and
hope that under his superintendency
this plant will have bright future.

RE'0PENING OF OUR SCHOOLS.

Inc re-openlng OF our schools last
Monday morning marked another
epoch in the lives of the students
who responded to the ringing of the
bells of their respective buildings.
The beginning of the term is usually
accompanied with more or less COM
motion in the arranging and grading
of the pupils, but this was reduced to
the minimum as at the close of the
last school year they were all examin-
ed and given cards showing to which
grade they belonged.
We desire in this connection to saw
that the educational facilities afforded
the children of this place are excep-
tional, and the ability of the teachers
has been frequently and favorably
commented on by this paper.
Owing to the crowded condition of
our schools, the Board of Directors
were compelled to provide more ac-
commodations in our school buildings.
After due consideration it was decided
to build an addition to the Third St.
school building, and B. w. Jury was
instructed to prepare plans for an ex-
tension to the present building. The
plans provided building containing
four rooms 2S by 4S feet, with library,
closets, and spacious halls and stair
ways. The contract for the erection
of the building was awarded to the
lowest bidder, Thos. Corey, who by
a great effort completed the building
IN tine for the opening Of the schools.
The new extension presents a fine APP
pearance, and the arrangements are
perfect The greatest care and at.
tentlon was given by the Board to the
heating and ventilating ofthe building,
the sanitary arrangements being Of the
latest approved methods, while the
heating and ventilating are done by
one OF the most approved systems.
The work was done by the well
known firm of B. G. Carpenter of
Wilkes Barre. The entire building
contains IL school rooms with class
rooms, library, ETC., with a seating
capacity for 500 pupils. The building
presents fine appearance, and is
certainly a credit to the town of
Bloomsburg.
