A Struggle With a Hawk.

\ live hawk. measuring four feet
from tip TO tip of wings was brought
into this city yesterday, which had
been captured i'll rather remarkable
way. What adds to the interest of
the affair is that the rapacious bird
was caught by woman and that it
yielded to its captor only after q de-
pserate struggle.
The scene of the affair lay along
Montour Ridge in Liberty township
on Dr. S. Y Thompson's farm known
as 'Pilgrim's Rest, on which Miles
Bitler resides as tenant.
Mr.. Bitler is a poultry fancier and
among his young fowls are a number
of guineas confined i'll an enclosure
surrounded with wire netting. On
Tuesday Mrs. Bitler hearing an out
cry among the guineas rushed to their
the big hawk entangled i'll the woven
wire. Evidently the bird had not
noticed the enclosure and was i'll the
act of swooping down upon his prey
when he ran his head through one of
the meshes.
The woman grabbed. the hawk seiz-
ing him by each wing close to the
body AS soon as he was released
from the wire he began desperate
fight for freedom, trying to strike
Mrs. Bitter with both his bill and
claws. The woman, however, had the
ugly bird at disadvantage and by
holding him as far as possible from
her body was able to escape Injury,
although it was fearful tax upon
her strength as long as the battle last
ed Several times the hawk came near
getting the best of his captor in the
| fight and succeeded in sinking his
claws into her clothing. The apron
worn by Mrs. Bitler bears testimony
as to the severity of the struggle, be-
ing torn nearly to shreds.
The hawk was finally thrown into
box where he was kept prisoner
until brought into town, where he
was placed on exhibition at the store
of NJ. H. Schram. DR.. Thompson CON
templates having the bird mounted.

Plus Hover Shoots His Sister.

= A dreadful tragedy occurred at Roar
ing Greek Tuesday evening. Nine
year old Nettie Hover was shot and
killed by her brother, Plus Hover,
aged Il years.
The shooting was the result Of an
accident. The two children were re-
turning from Yeager's mill dam where

the accident occurred The boy says
that he was "fooling with the gun"
when it went off. The load took effect
in the girls face. She was literally
riddled with shot, one eye being torn
from the socket. Death ensued in
stantly.
The father of the two children is
William Hover, the well-known
huckster, who was absent on trip i'll
the vicinity of Watsontown. He was
reached with some difficulty and i'll
response to the sad news yesterday re-
turned to his stricken home, arriving
about O'Clock i'll the afternoon.
The dead child, one of family of
ten children, was general favorlte.

Mr., Klingman's Eyentful Drive,

An upset and a runaway i'll one day
are calculated TO shake up mans
nerves pretty eifectually, yet such an
experience fell to the lot of John
Klingerman, Sr., of Union Corner
yesterday.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. King
erman started for Danville driving Il
young horse, which while not at all
vicious is full of spirit and not easy
to handle Mr.. Klingcrman was ac-
companied by Frank Woodside, a
without incident until the narrows at
the foot of Blue Hill were reached,
when the horse took fright at the cars
and became unmanageable. The re-
suit was that the buggy upset. Mr..
Klingerman held on to the lines and
thus the horse was prevented from
running away while the two men
crawled out of the capsized vehicle.
Beyond two spokes broken the buggy
was found uninjurcd. The men ex-
cept for a bad fright were none the
worse for the accident and righting
the vehicle they resumed their journey
to town.
The horse was tied at j. H. Coles
hardware store and Mr.. Klingerman
and companion proceeded to transact
some business about town. In short
time the Mechanicsville band came
marching down the street, playing a
lively air. The horse again took fright
and reared up, standing nearly erect.
The tie strap snapped i'll two and the
horse dashed up Lower Mulberry
street at such a rate of speed as can
be attained only by a horse frantic
with fright At Church street hc
came within handbrcadth of striking
little child standing on the crossing.
Continuing his flight out Lower Null
berry street at Billiards. he turned to
the left and ran up to Walnut street
where he was caught. The vehicle was
top buggy, the top being down.
Oddly enough it passed through both
the upset and the runaway without
sustaining any worse damage than the
two broken spokcs. Neither was the
horse injured.

FIREMEN FIGHT
STUBBORN FIRE

A fire in the foundry of Curry &
Vannan, East Market street, Monday
did considerable damage and only
the valiant work of the fircmen and
employees of the Structural Tubing
Works prevented more serious spread
of the flames.
The alarm was sounded by blowing
the whistle at Curry q Vannan s, just
at 7 O'Clock, and the department re-
spondcd promptly. Two lines of hose
were quickly run over from the Struct.
ural Tubing Works, across East Mar
kct street. There were also streams put
on by the Washington, Friendship and
the flames stubbornly resisted, then the
steady fighting, inch by inch, subdued
them.
The damage was confined to the
stOck-hOuso, stock hoist and the roof
over the Cupolas. 1t was at the roof
where the fire started and it burned
fiercely until the firemen got on all
their hose. Then it took some time to
eXtinguish the flames, as they started
up in different places under the roof.
The foundry was filled with smoke,
SCOT and spray of the water, so that it
was almost impossible to ascertain
the amount of damage done to the in
terror. A large crowd witnessed the
work of the fire fighters and the yard
was filled with people. The streets
surrounding the plant were also crowd
ed.
The exact cause of the fire is
not known, although it originated
at the cupolas. The stock hoist was
so badly burned that it is useless, but
new lumber was hauled few days
ago for a new hoist. There will be a
considerable portion of new roof needed
on the north side
At the time the fire was discovered
there was no one i'll the foundry but
the watchman, William Reppert He
ran to the whistle and word being
sent to the Structural Tubing Works
the hose there was soon put III service.
The arrival of the fire companies en-
abled the men to get at the flames, al
though it was necessary TO climb over
the roof and do the fighting at close
quarters. Three of the lines were run
through the machine shop into the
foundry, while another went through
the mill yard from Railroad street,
and one through the rear of the foun-
dry on Rough and Ready street.
For the first time the Friendship
hose cart was hauled to fire by
horse. The new drop harness worked
well and a quick start was made. The
cart swung up Market street at a rapid
rate and the Friendships made fine
run. They have been exercising the
horse for some time, and he seemed to
realize what was required of him on
this occasion of genuine alarm.

The Undergrade Crossing.

1t is not at all likely from present
prospects that the undcrgrade crossing
at the p. & II. railway near Walnut
street will be an accomplished fact
very soon. 1t is not considered prob
able that the borough will agree to
the terms proposed by the p. q r.
railway company, which involves the
bearing of a portion of the expenses by
the borough and the abandonment of
both the crossings between the station
and Bloom street This is unfortunate,
as travel is very frequently held up by
trains blocking the crossings at that
point, and the need of better accom-
modations is very keenly felt.

IMPERILED IN
FREIGHT WRECK

The p. & r. railway about one hun,
dred yards south of the station, tins
city, Sunday morning was the scene
of destructive head on collision, i'll
which four men escaped death by the
narrowest possible margin.
1t was a few minutes before six
O'Clock when an extra south bound
freight loaded with soft coal pulled
into the station and slowed up on the
main track to await the arrival OF
freight No. SO, north bound, which
had orders to go upon the switch. The
extra was pulled by engine No. SIG
and was in charge of Conductor John
Houser. 1t had not yet come to a
standstill when the north bound
freight appeared in view plunglng
along at the speed of an express train.
Almost at the same instant it dashed
by the switch and bore down upon the
i'll -fated extra. \ dreadful wreck was
imminent and the engineer and fire
man of each train jumped barely es-
Gaping the mix-up as the two locomo-
tives crashed together.
The noise of the collision startled
the whole neighborhood. Train No
So, II. G. Madden conductor, was
drawn by engine No. 512, one of the
huge modern locomotives known as a
Long John " 1t lifted the lighter
engine of the extra clear off the rails,
tossing it like plaything over on the
middle track, where it landed upside
down The big locomotive then plough
ed through the extra demolishing three
of the loaded cars, while seven cars of
its own train were reduced to splint-
ers. The north bound freight FORUM
ately was made up Of empty cars. Had
the cars been loaded the momentum
would have been we'll nigh irresistible
and a much larger portion of the train
might have been wrecked. As it was
the mass of wreckage was bad enough
completely blocking the track.
The unfortunate engine, No. 8l6, is
very badly used up, all that remains
intact being the boiler and running
gear Its big antagonist, No. 512, was
but little injured. Its pilot and front
trucks were broken. 1t did not leave
the rails and later in the day was able
to run to Catawissa.
In short time two wreck trains,
one from West Milton and the other
from Catawissa, along with the big
steam wrecker from East Mahanoy
Junction were on the scene of the col
lision The work of clearing away
the wreckage was III charge of Train
Master A. r. Anthony of Shamokin.
Several hundred of our townspeople
were present as spectators. The work
on the whole proved quite an object
lesson, showing what can be accom-
plished in few hours time by the
modern methods employed by railroads
in removing wrecks. There is no
weight too heavy for the pOnderOus
steam wreckcr and it handled the
wrecked locomotive like toy, lifting
it from the ground in one mass and
setting it upon the rails. BY one
O'Clock Sunday afternoon the tracks
were clear and open to traffic.

MURDER AT
SHENANDOAH

At ! 20 O'Clock this morning Captain
j. Beaver Gearhart, of Company +,
Twelfth Regiment, received an order
from Colonel Clement to assemble at
once for duty at Shenandoah. The
company was Immediately gotten to-
gether and at 3 30 O'Clock was ready
at the Armory to proceed to Sunbury
to join the rest of the regiment A
special train was in readiness there
to hurry the soldiers to the coal re-
giOn.
The company left South Danville,
forty-tive strong, i'll special car at
4 30 o'clock and was attached to the
troop train at Sunbury.
Five polanders We're killed at Shen-
andOah last night III a battle between
policemen and strikers. The trouble
had been brewing for several days and
eliminated in an attack on a deputy
sheriff by the mob. The police came
to the rescue of the deputy and were
tlitdChth ny INC SlIlhtIS.
Several deputies were waylaid last
night at Locust Summit, and in the
fight that ensued Deputy W. A. Tras-
kow, of Ashland, was shot and was
taken to the Miners Hospital.
Joseph Beddall, hardware merch-
ant at Shenandoah and a nephew of
Sheriff S. r. Beddall, of Schuylkill
county, was badly beaten by the mob
and is in the Miners Hospital Four
policemen of the Shenandoah force
were seriously injured in fight with
the mob and they are not expected to
live. This was the first outbreak in
that section, but it will likely be the
starting of more trouble throughout
the region.
Sheriff Beddali was summoned to
Shenandoah to quell the trouble in its
incipiency. His nephew, Thomas Bedd-
all escorted two non union machinists
to the Reading station last evening
and was attacked by mob in sym
pathy with the striking miners Bedd-
all, who is a deputy sheriff, fired into
the mob, wounding two men. Then
he ran to the station, where six police
men came to his aid. The officers
forced back the crowd, enabling the
deputy and machinists to get out of
town on an engine
The mob turned its wrath on the offic-
ers and they started up town. At the
Lehigh Valley crossing the policemen
climbed over a moving freight train.
One officer, Lithuanian, was pulled
from the car and thrown to the ground.
While the mob was beating him his
hand got under the wheels of the train
and several fingers were crushed An
other officer, named Heiser, was shot
through the arm and back. Two 9TH
er officers was also badly hurt
Joseph Beddall heard of the peril of
his brother, Thomas, and started for
the depot to 90 to his aid. The mob
seized him and threw him to the
ground He was beaten into insensi-
bility and was hurried to the Miners
Hospital, where he lies in serious
condition,

ANNOYED by Petty Thieving.

Jacob Ashton of No. 8 Railroad
street, is annoyed by petty thieving,
with his garden as the object of the

a rake and shovel were stolen, and
one night a handsome gcranium was
taken from the flower beds. 1t was of
a rare variety with twenty four flow
ers at the time of its disappearance.
The flower was dug out of the bed so
as to preserve its roots and a big hole
left where the pride of the garden
stood.
