Touring with Sousa's Band

s. Ross Millhouse, cornetist with
Sousa's concert band, sends the follow
ing newspaper clipping from Mitchell,
South Dakota
"Messrs. J. W. Richardson, r. Mill
house and Henry Heidelberg, members
of Mr.. Sousa's band have had their
first experience in shooting prairie
chickens and jack rabbits. They were
taken out Thursday by l.. G. Thomas,
with whom they are stopping. and
given touch of western hunting on
the prairie. They were successful in
bagging four prairie chickens and
three jack rabbits, aud they declared
it was the greatest sport they ever en-
joyed Down in New York they said
they usually got prairie chickens after
they had boon killed. a wook and that
they were hardly worth eating. The
party had great sport with Mr.. Held
elberg. The first jack rabbit that pop
ped caused much eXGItament aud they
all shouted "see the wolf" for the
jack rabbits i'll this country are nam.
moth in size MIR heidelberg was so
afraid that it would not be shot that
he attempted to run it down, despite
the effort of Mr.. Thomas to call him
back. He tore along Mt an exciting
pace while the jack would run a short
distance and then stop and look de
rislvely back at his painting puIsuer.
Mr.. Heidelberg finally gave up the
chase, and when the next two jacks
put in appearance he took off his hat
to the fleetness of the South Dakota
jack rabbit, and went after him with
his gun
Mr.. Millhouse was engaged by Prof,
Sousa early in September. The band
is making tour of the west. giving
concerts in all the large cities. From
Oct. l6 to %, the band wilt play in San
Francisco and will then work east to
New York city where a concert will
be given Christmas night. On We'd
nesday, December 28th, the band will
sail for England and will make tour
of the British provinces and Ireland
The European tour Will close with
two weeks engagement in the city of
London.
Mr. Millhouse was born in Danville
and resided here until he was twenty
years of age. He was at one time a
member of Stoes' Band aud Strick-

Here's a Good Record

The one solitary prisoner i'll the
Montour county jail must be having
lonely time of it indeed. Sheriff
MaieTs yesterday stated that he has in
custody now just one man out of all
Montour county and unless the tend
ency to law breaking becomes strong
or very suddenly this year will be a
record one for the small number of
prisoners.
The fact that only one prisoner is i'll
the Jail is especially significant at this
time. With the improvements now
making being carried on by numerous
foreigners it would be- but natural if
there were an unusual lot of disorder.
Danville citizens and the residents
generally of Montour county can be
gratified over this demonstration of
the peaceful, law-abiding nature of
the community.

$1,000 FOR
WATER WORKS

The Council met in special session
Friday to receive plans and specifi-
cations for the undergrade roadway at
A street, which the Philadelphia d
R.ading Railway Company was ex-
pnctci to present but the railroad Off
cials were not present President Davis
was in the chair and all members of
Council responded to roll call: Messrs
Vastine, Reifsnyder, Swank, Boyer,
Fenstermacher, Goeser, Montgomery.
DIETRICH, David Gibson, Lloyd and
joseph Gibson.
Mr.. Goeser, when the consideration
of the undergrade crossing matter was
under way offered q resolution to no
tify the Philadelphia e. Reading Rail
way Company to put in writing their
proposition, and Burgess Pursel sug
gested having a meeting of the Coun
oilmen. railroad officials and trolley
people next Wednesday night, prior to
the regular meeting, so that intelligent
and definite action can be taken at the
regular meeting. The clerk was in
structed to communicate with the rail
road people to try to have them get
their representatives here next We'd
nesday.
A communication of Borough En-
gineer George f. Keefer to the Board
of Water Commissioners was read ad-
vocsting the building of slope OF re-
tanning wall from the north abutment
of State highway bridge to the Water
Works. For a 900 foot wall with foot
bottom and . foot top and an eleva-
tion corresponding with the base course
of the Water Works building, footing
of concrete feet by IS inches to be
feet below the natural surface the
estimated cost is 81, 200 This includes
the oounty's share, or the cost would
be 81 900 without the county's share.
The estimated cost of a retaining wall
of the same length with foot bottom
and foot top is $4,000.
Superintendent Keefer of the Water
Works. urged she need of protection
and asked for an allowance of at least
81 900 to start the work. A motion of
Mr.. Fenstermacher to allow the Water
Commissioners to spend $1,000 on
wall to protect the bank that is likely
to be carried away by the water was
carried after considerable debate, all
voting for it except Mr. Lloyd. The
plan is to protect the Danville part of
the bank and let the county side go for

Mr.. BARRETTS
TRAGIC DEATH

Cornelius Barrett, son of Mrs Mary
Barrett, of Railroad street, near the
East end was found dead on the Phil
adeplhia q Reading railroad between
Spruce and Hemlock streets early Sun
day morning. His BODY was oruelly
mangled and mystery shrouds his
tragic end
James Mullen, of First street, Welsh
Hill, claims to have stumbled upon
the body about 1:30 o'clock Sunday
morning, finding it lying between the
rails. He came to the central part of
the city and notified Officer J. G. Voris
and night watchman Lewis Byerly,
telling them he had found Barrett $
dead body on the track and taking
them to the spot. DR.. S. Y. Thompson
was called about a. IN. He found
the young mans body lying on the
grass on the north side of the track,
whittier t had been removed, and pro-
nounced life extinct, attributing death
to hemorraage a thick line of blood
was clotted upon the clnders aud the
dead man was so pale that 1t seemed
nearly ali of the blood must have drain
ed out of his body.
DR. Thompson examined Barrett S
body, finding his left leg cut off a short
distance below the hip joint His left
arm was severely crushed about four
inches below the shoulder and his face
was lacerated as if his head had been
compressed above the right eye, tract
ured above the left ear and there also
was a fracture at the base of the skull.
Either of the head wounds would have
caused death, Dr. Thompson states.
The young mans right arm and
right leg were not hurt. His right
hand was in his hip pocket, which
only adds to the mystery surrounding
his death, showing that it came with
such extreme suddenness as to keep
him from even throwing out his hand
and from this it might appear that he
fell upon the track in the path of
train
Squire James Dalton, acting as cor
oner, also went to the place where the
lifeless body was found and turned the
remains over to undertaken John Dost-
ers Sons to prepare for burial.
The deceased was aged - years. II g
is survived by his widowed mother
and three brothers, two of Danville
and one of Shamokin
Squire James Dalton, Monday
morning Investigated the death of
Cornelius Barrett, whose lifeless body
was found on the Philadelphia &
Reading railroad track early Sunday
morning. He took the testimony of
James Mullen. who stumbled upon the
corpse whom walking on tho railroad,
and of persons who had seen Barrett a
few hours before he was killed. His
verdict was that death was accidental,
and he thought an inquest was not
necessary.

when it is considered that the pay of

only 100 votes is the same as for those
