BLOOMSBURY 28
WYOMING 0

Ghe ideal foot ball weather that pre-
crowd of enthusiasts to witness the
contest between the Bloomsbury Nor
NAL School and Wyoming Seminary at
Bloomsbury Those who expected to
see an interesting and exciting game,
were not disappointed Although it
was Bloomsburg's game from the start,
Wyoming's play was not without vim
and dash, aud the Normsl's touch.
downs were only made by hard CON
slstent playing. The Bloomsbury cap
tain generated his team admirably, to
which was due in large degree the
inefficiency of Wyoming's defense.
An old foot bali trick play called
the delayed pass was worked by
the Normal team number of times,
and nearly always proved an excellent
ground gamer. The quarterback on
receiving the ball from the center
quickly faces the back field while the
whole team with the exception of one
back plunges through center. The OPP
posing team, thinking the ball is GO
ing where the attack is made, direct
all their attention to centre, while the
quarter with half back for interefer-
ence takes the ball around either end.
Bloomsbury male her first touch
down in minutes after playing had
started. Two more touchdowns were
netted in the first half. 1t was in this
half that Herman, Wyoming's quarter
back, was injured and was carried from
the field. 1t was at first thought that
he was suffering from fractured
skull, later, however, he regained con.
seriousness and it was found that his
injuries were not serious.
In the second half Gregory, of Wy
oming's team had his shoulder blade
broken. The game ended with tho
score $50 in favor of Bloomsbury.

The farmers Of this section are hav-
ing an opportunity this fall to clean
up more thoroughly and to accomplish
more in the way OF getting ready for
spring than they have had in many
years.
The ideal weather has made corn
husking less OF hardship aud in some
cases where the corn has been wet and
soft the farmers have been able TO let
is stand in the shock much longer
than usual, thereby getting better
and larger crop, Most of them, how

IS STILL
A MYSTERY

Men searched the mountains sur
rounding Hickory Ridge all day Sun
day hunting for the missing head of
the man whose body was found by
hunters Saturday morning, one hun
dred feet from the public road, be
tween Hickory Ridge and Shamokin.
Everybody is convinced that the man
was murdered, and it is generally be-
lieved the victim was collector for
an installmeut firm and that he was
robbed of large sum of money. The
tragedy occurred Immediately after
pay day, and the region is generally
visited by installment collectors after
the miners receive their semi monthly
earnings,
The body of the victim was taken to
a Mt Carmel undertaking establish
ment Sunday and carefully examined.
The hands are small and fair, the nails
being we'll maniouIed. The body mea-
sured feet , inches. The knuckles

that the victim had battled with one
or more assassins.
A searching party Sunday night
found a sack coat, two new gloves, a
piece of garter. a four-ln-h hand tie and
a stickpin several hundred feet from
where the body lay. The coat is
thought to have been torn from of
the dead man.
Coroner Dreher. of Shamokin, say:
the decapitation of the head was ac.
I complished by one sweep of the knife
the bones Of the vertebrae being Gu
through There was no dislocation anC
whoever used the knife welded il
with anatomical knowledge.
Six bullet wounds were found, two
in the breast, two in the back, one IN
! der an arm and another in the calf o
the right limb. The bullets were from
a 38-calibre revolver, several empty
shells being found near by.
John Biernskey, pumpman at Hickor,
Ridge Oolliery, says he heard pisto
shots along the road about s o'clocI
Friday night. but paid no attention t.
them, as frequently crowds of Italian
and Hungarian miners discharged fire
arms at trees and in the air.
The body of the victim lay at Hick
o1y Ridge long time before it wa
removed to the undertaker's and
was viewed by many men and women
all of whom were fearful it might b
one of their relatives.
In all of the more important town
in the region inquiries have been mad
to learn whether any one has dsap
peared So far no one has been re
ported missing.
Monday morning Coroner Drehe
empaneled the following jury at Mt
Carmel: Dr. W. 81. Lewis, Jane
Whiteman, DR.. W. Leer Williams
John Dreher, W. p. Kemble and job
A. Breslin. The jury viewed the bod
but no time was fixed TO hear testi
mony. it having been decided to wal
hoCing that there may b. some late
developments in the case. Dr.. Will
Jams, of Mt Carmel, stltes that I'll
murdered man was about 80 years {
age and weighed about l70 pounds.

COOPERATIVE
TELEPHONE line

Charles Y. ? herman, Esq, who has
been agitatiug the construction Of
rucal telephone lines stated last even
Ing that the plan is meeting with great
favor among the farmers Of Montour
county and that the building Of CO.
operative system embracing many
small lines with the farmers them
selves as share holders will probably
be a project OF the near future.
The plan that meets with most favCr
is telephone system running lines
from the different towns and villages
at different points of the compass,
each line to accommodate from % to
40 phones and to be connected, not
only with other lines of the system,
but with lines Of other companies as
well
That this can be accomplished is
shown by the following letter.

There has been absolutely no new
developments in the case of the head
less man found on Saturday near Hick-
ory Ridge. The whole region near the
scene of the awful discovery has been
searched in vain for the missing head.
1t seems that almost every clue has
been exhausted.
Tuesday afternoon the remains were
laid to rest in the Potter's field in st.
Mary's cemetery. Undertaken Higgins
conducted the burial.
Some light may be thrown on the
subject from the following story One
day last week a strange woman called
on outside foreman ]. Hesser at Hick
ory Swamp and asked him to accom-
pany her to Natalie. He refused to
go. but sent his son Albert and a com
paniCn TO escort her While enroute,
at a point near where the body was
discovered, she stopped them. pointed
revolver at the young men, compel
led them to deliver up their money,
and then ordered them to return to
Hickory Swamp.
Several weeks ago woman and her
son, who were trayersing this road,
were acosted by an unknown man, who
welded huge knife.
The locality where this body was
l;coavrrnl a So
erous spot, which is shown by the
stories of numerous rohberies commit
ed there.
Thus far the County Commissioners
have offered no reward for the missing
head, or for the murderers This mur-
der makes the one hundred and fourth
killing in Northum berland county,
against one hanging.
