THE SOLDIERS
AND THE POLICE

4 man who wore a soldier S uniform
has been in this city for several days
looking for work. Yesterday the
police were looking for him but he
could not be found and it is supposed
that he has transferred his search for
employment elsewhere.
Daniel Lauflas is another old soldier
who ran afoul of the Danville police
and who has bade farewell to this city.
He came here Saturday evening wear
ing the clothes of a civilian, but with
a rare fund of army stories that We're
told to all who would listen.
Laufas, according to his stories,
fought with Roosevelt at San Juan
hill, was a veteran of the Porto Rican
campaign, served i'll the Philippines
and travelled miles on the war vessels
of the nation. But with all his ser
vice for Uncle Sam none of the coin
of said u. S. lined the eXchequer of
this hero of many battles. By his wit
he gained some money and much of
the ambrosial fluid which inebriates.
Twice he was arrested for begging and
was allowed to go on promise to be
good.
He claimed to have work here but
this story was disproven. He finally
concluded that Danville had absorbed
all his wondrful stories of the wars
and left for other parts.

In the Army at 10 Years.

The Wilkesbarre Record has this to
say in a recent issue:
Charles Peter Harder, postmaster Of
Danville, Pa. was in town last We'd
nesday on a short visit and called upon
Postmaster Hahn, who extended him
many courtesies. He was accompani-
ed by Samuel Johnson, a well known
druggist and Republican politician of
Montour County.
This city is Mr.. Harder birthplace
He removed from here to Danville
with his parents when n boy. He was
born forty mine years ago on Franklin
street and is said to be the youngest
Grand Army man in the United States
While this might be doubted by many,
it is matter of fact that he entered
the army of the late Rebellion at the
age of 10 years and 6 months rs a drum
mer boy in the 18th Regiment, under
Col. Pearson, and remained until the
close of the war The regiment at
that time was made up III Danville

er There was some objection to tax
ing him at first, but he proved to be

father, who has since died, was Peter
Harder, a we'll known contract plaster
er in this city, at that time residing
in the house he owned on Franklin
street, now the residence and property
of Ex-Judgc Harding. Postmaster
Harder is a second cousin of Charles
B. Metzger Of this city. Mr.. Harder
pointed out with pride many of the
old structures left here. He thought
his parents made mistake III moving
away, as they owned property on the
public square and other places that is
now very valuable.
