LOST IN MOUNTAIN.
Sons of Louis Breswitz, OF North Gar.

Searching Pa rites Are Out.

Somewhere on lonely East mountain.
near the little hamlet of Marshwood,
two lads, and years of age, respect
lively, sons of Louis Breswitz, of 3l6
North Garfield avenue, are probably
crying piteously for their parents.
Searching parties secured the woods
all night but up to a late hour the
children had not been found
The father and his two sons were out
yesterday in the woods picking huckle-
berries. Leaving them for a little
while in a shady spot. the father went
deeper into the woods in his quest for
berries. Time passed rapidly and he
kept busy, never dreaming that the
boys might wander from where he had
left them. 1t began to grow dusk and
he hied himself back to them.
They had disappeared as completely
as if the earth had swallowed them.
He was appalled,, hut, rallying himself,
he commenced a frantic but fruitless
search. When it became too dark to
see, he hurried to the nearest houses
and procured help and lanterns and re-
turned to find his loved ones but with

KILLING RATTLESNAKEs.
MIR. Lambs Ingenious Method of
RRidiug tho County TREASURY.

John Lamb, of Bolton, was arrested
on Saturday afternoon on a warrant
issued by Justice S. NJ. Pratt on COM
plant of Supervisor Taylor. Lamb is
charged with an attempt to defraud
the county of Warren, in that he made
affidavit to the killing of II rattle
snakes. He presented what he claimed
were rattles from each OF the snakes,
and asked for the bounty OF S71. Lamb
had already been paid 1924 by the
county treasurer upon orders given by
the supervisors of Bolton and Hague.
The plan. as exposed by Supervisor
Taylor had been to take the rattles
from snake, divide them into pieces,
leaving two rattles on each piece; then
take piece of flesh from a snake and
insert 1t in the upper end of the sew
cred portion Of the rattler, thus giving
the appearance of having been cut off
from the tail of a snake, and get the
bounty OF 81 on each piece having two
rattles. Affidavits were presented
showing that on last Tuesday Lamb
obtained seven snakes tails from two
boys who had killed the reptiles, says
the Glens Falls IN. " Star.
Lamb then presented an affidavit
swearing to the killing Of % snakes
produced % pieces with two rattles on
each, and obtained an order for 1923 on
County Treasurer Packard. On Friday
night Lamb received of the same par
ties IA snakes and on Saturday morn
ing presented an affidavit to the killing
of II snakes and asked for an order
for s71, producing II pieces with two
rattles on each piece. Supervisor Tay-
lor caught on to his plan and swore
out a warrant. The county has al
ready paid about 5000 upon orders, and
now the question is: How many snakes
have really been killed?
In Washington county the bounty
on rattlesnakes is 80 cents. 1t is
| claimed that quite frequently snakes
killed in that county are brought to
Warren county. where the bounty paid
is just double, and that the amount
fraudulently collected on Washington
county snakes during the last year or
two is quite an item.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Major w. S. Millar from
General j. p. S. Goblin:
Headquarters Third brigade, First divi-
sion, Second Army corps,
Camp Alger, Va. June 30 1925.
Major w. S. Mllar, Scranton, Pa.
My Dear Major:-I have been urging
your appointment as quartermaster L. 5.
V. as | assured you | would, but this far
without success | was so anxious to
secure the services of my old staff that
| have left nothing undone to have them
appointed The invariable answer is that
all places are filed and that there are
no vacancies. The number of staff au-
thorized by congress were so eagerly
sought after that every place was taken
up and numbers of applications are still
on file. This is greatly to be regretted
when men of such signal ability as your
self are anxious to serve and it is a loss
to the government not to have your SER
vices. However, the only thing to do is
to stick to the National Guard for the
present and await events. With best
wishes, Very truly yours.
