Leg Crushed by Heavy Wagon.

While descending a steep hill with
heavily loaded log wagon, near Elk
Run, Thursday last, very serious ac-
cldent befell Lloyd Vansckle. The
chain, holding the rough lock, broke,
and the team, unable to hold back
the great weight, started to run down.
The young man, realizing that it
meant death to stay on the wagon,
made leap. He chose the upper
side OF the road, unfortunately, and
rolled down underneath the wagon.
One leg was horribly mangled, below
the knee. He was taken to Central,
where he was relieved as much as
possible. He was brought to Blooms
bure on the evening train and taken
to Wilkes Barre, where he will be
treated al the hospital. He is about
eighteen years old and son of Terry
Vansickle, of Central.

his appearance, is few years past
the age of maturity. was caught in an
attempt to procure money on forged
check at the First National Bank on
Monday. A few months ago this
trick was successfully worked at the
First National Bank. This check
bearing the signature of a Mr.. Hons
was presented and the money pad.
The amount, however, was small
The paper was subsequently dis
covered to be forgery. The appear,
ance of the individual had impressed
itself on the mind of the bank teller
Eugene F. Carpenter, and when the
check was handed in for payment
on Monday he at once recognized tue
bearer as the man who had handed III
the former forged check. In order TO
be sure that he was right, Mr.. Car
penter hurried to the BloomsburS
National Bank and summoned Morris
Broadt, who had also paid forged
note, supposed to have been written
by one ]. NJ. Fairchild, of Berwick
Mr.. Broadt identified the fellow on
frst glance. He was at once arrested
and on being charged with the crime
he broke down and confessed. he
gave his name as John Cole, and MS
residence as Berwick. He also stated
that he was son of John Cole,
farmer, residing in Berwick. Inc
check he attempted to pass on Mon
day bore the signature OF J. M. Far
child and the amount Sla5.oo, II
had the name of J, B. McHenry on

Chicago Health Department Making
War on the Milk Deal.
Chicago. July 1S.-The officials of the
health department in this city have
been sustained by Justice Gibbons in
a test CASE charging a milk dealer with
the use of formaline as a milk preserva-
tive. c. A. Below was fined $50 and
costs for violating the city ordinance
which forbids the the use of any pre-
sentative. City chemists were pitted
against Prof. De%lafontaine and Prof.
Gibson of Luetgert fame. both of whom
were employed by Below to prove that
the process employed by the city was
not sufficient to establish the u.s. OF
f~ormaldheyde. The case was looked
upon as a test of the ordinance and the
health department will hasten to prose
cute other dealers against whom they
have evidence.
