on Saturday will fill the woods here
abouts with eager sportsmon. Judg-
ing from the large number purchasing

of them having been found frozen un-
der fences aud trees at the opening of

THE OLDEST
IN THE STATE

At the State Firemen's Convention
at Erie last week. the Good Intent
Fire Company of Sunbury was the
oldest organization represented and
was awarded the honor of heading the
list in Pennsylvania. This is a great
honor, as 1t would give that company
the right of line in any parade held
within the State of Pennsylvania. The
company was organized in 1889 and
has been in operation ever since. The
old Friendship, of Philadelphia, was
an older organization, but had dropped
out last year, leaving the Good Intept
at the top of the list.
Edward Gibson of Sunbury, a mem
Der of the Good Intent, is the Oldest
fireman In active service in the State.
He Joined that company in 1859 and is
an active member today. Two honors
were therefore conferred on Sunbury,
having the oldest company in the State
in service, and the oldest fireman in
active service.

RAIN Held BACK

Many Dauville people yesterday were
disappointed when the rain prevented
them from attending the Bloomsbury
fair If the weather is fair today, how
ever, nearly all of this city populace
will move to "Blcom" temporarily,
and help swell the crowd, which should
be great one since the arrangements
for the fair have been made on a scale
to insure an exhibition worth going to

Thursday on Friday and the ones list.

of the races will occur notwithstand-

Barring the weather, all conditions

effect at the fair ground The many
visitors in Bloomsbury had to take
shelter in their hotels. At the fair ev-
erything was nearly at a standstill ard

under cover The forecast calls foI
fair weather today, so everyone is
hopeful that the big fair may be on in
full swing this morning,
Bloomsbury chief of police, Wesley
Knorr, has nine assistants and they
are keeping good order. This little
word of advice is given to Danville peo-
pie, however: Remember that at Mil

DETECTIVES
OPEN CRUSADE

Philadelphia and Reading Railway
officials have given orders for the
stamping out of a practice that daily
promises to result in fatality here
and in this vicinity, where illegal Car
riding is being done to an extent al
most unknown before As high as
twenty two men and boys were count
ed on one freight train yesterday, all of
them stealing rides and at the same
time jeopardizing their lives.
Detectives Pursley and SINNERS yes
terday took the initial move in the
stringent crusade tnat is to be waged
against these law breakers. They ar
rested the first three men they detect
ed, but unless the dangerous work
ceases very suddenly these arrests will
not be the last. The orders to the
detectives are to have a strict watch
kept and arrests made daily until the
men and boys who persist in boarding
the cars learn what serious conse-
quenGes will attend the practice and
desist from t. The trainmen seem pow
erless to keep the illegal riders of
their trains, boys even going so far as
to stone brakemen who have ordered
them off.
