Bourbon had a Juvenile sensati on
yesterday when 3 of its youthful citi
zens, armed to the teeth and fully pre-
pared, in their own estimation, for the
slaughter of numerous redmen and
wild west desperadOes, left the town
without so much as "by your leave"
to their parents. They were Tommy
Sellers, Nick Snyder and Clarence
McFerson. All hal 22-calibre revolvers
and they probably had about % cents
between them. With the boldness of
old hobos they boarded Pennsylvania
train and went to Atwood, where they
stopped for supplies and bought box
of cartridges.
They tarried while at Atwood and
while there telephone message was
sent to Clarence McFerson's mother,
Mrs. Silas Falkenburgh, of Bourbon,
the absence of whose son at noontime
had been noted, and a telephone mes
sage was returned to arrest the boys.
But the boys were already enroute for
Warsaw and the message was too
late.
A telegram was sent to the sheriff at
Warsaw to hold the boys and young
Sellers father left Bourbon for that
city in the afternoon. 1t seems, how
ever, that the boys had also left this
point before they could be detained.
They are 12 to 10 years old and no
reason, except a spirit of adventure. is
alleged for their leaving home. 1t is
said that they have started for Arkan-
SaS.

Church Items.

n large number of young people of
the Presbyterian church gave their pas
tor a surprise last Saturday night. y
very enjoyable time was spent.
1t is understood that the Rev. CharI-
ton will leave the church here on ac-
count of financial matters. The gen.
tleman said in his sermon Sunday
that when he received a call to this
place some time ago, it was something
he could neither accept nor reject as
there was nothing in it, but now he
could keep it as souvenir. The ex-
act meaning of his words is not clear
to us, but we suppose it is perfectly
plain to the Rev. Charlton.
The services of Bishop White and
Rector Raymond held in the new NJ. f.
church at Kewanna last Friday even
ing were of more than ordinary interest
Between 4 and o'clock p. m. the choir
of st. Thomas church gave rehearsal
of Easter music in the church to large
and attentive audience. At evening
the spacious audience room and chape
annex were well filled with a great
congregation. Rector Raymond read
the service, Rev. III. G. Ogden, of the
NJ. f. church, reading the Scripture
lesson. Bishop White confirmed two
persons, addressed them and preached
most excellent sermon on the persona
character and ministry of Jesus Christ
The bishop, rector and choir were
handsomely entertained with a socia
visit and bountiful supper at the Toner
hotel by the Kewanna church people.

Special 1T seems that the supposi-
ton that the 3 wandering boys mad
gone to Warsaw is not correct, as the
authorities say that no boys answering
to their description have been seen in
that city. Mr.. Sellers is still looking
for the runawayS, but all clues
seem to have been lost and the where
abouts af the trio is totally unknown.

Special. l-Yo Dung Seller returned home
this noon, having walked from the first
power house east of Warsaw, eighteen
miles away. He said the three boys
came through Bourbon yesterday and
that the operator at the station near
Warsaw let them sleep in one of the
rooms. lie and the other two boys did
not agree and they had taken away his
revolver, and as he did not like their
treatment he asked the operator to
waken him early SO he could get away
from them. This was done and he
started to walk home and arrived as
stated above, The other boys have not
been heard from.

knew him is further confirmed by an
expression of sympathy and respect of
the board CT directors of the First Ma
tional bank of this city, which is as
follows:
The board of directors of the First
National bank desire to express their
profound sorrow at the death of their
late employe, Bert Rosenbury, and to
place upon record their high apprecia-
ton of the deceased during the years
he has been in their employ in posi-
ton of trust and responsibility. He
has invariably shown himself to be a
young man of noble character and ex-
emplary habits, possessing business
qualifications of a high order. His loss
to the bank by his untimely death
truly untimely in his case-we regard
as a personal loss to each one of us.
We tender, as all we can do, our
deepest sympathies to his parents, for
their bereavement is no ordinary one.

memorial words be spread upon the
records of the bank and copy thereof

A CLOSE CALL.
\ Chandelier Falls at the Residence of
Prof ID. Frank Redd.

Saturday evening the members of the
NJ. f.. choir met at the residence OF Mr..
and Mrs. d. Frank Redd for the regular
weekly rehearsal. Those present were
Misses Helen and Flora Disher, Fern
REYNOLDS and Ethel Wiltfong, and
Messrs n. +. Brooke, j. e.. Davis, n.
Il. Zimmerman and the host and
hostess. They were seated III a circle
around the room, when, without a
sound or warning, the large chandelier,
suspended from the center OF the cell
ing, fell with crash, smashing the
glass globes and cast iron frame into a
thousand pieces. Fortunately the de-
scent was so rapid that the burning
lamps, three in number, were extln-
guiShed before the floor was reached.
The iron upright piece punctured hole
entirely through the floor and stood
there after its swift descent, vivid
picture OF its deadly power If it had
come in contact with one SO unfortu-
nate as to be in its path.
One of the fortunate occurrences of
that evening was the reluctance in
commencing the evenings rehearsal. y
social half hour was being spent in
talking over the events of the day,
which gave conclusive evidence that a
little social intercourse at times averts
great disasters, for If it had not been
for the entertaining conversation en-
tered into, three of the young ladies
mentioned would have been standing
Immediately under the chandelier and
the result is terrible to contemplate.
How the fixture has remained as
long as it has is mystery, as the screw
that held it in position was only trifie
larger than lead pencil.
