Salty sentences were imposed by
Judge Savidge at Sunbury during the
usual Monday morning session OF

car and threw several sewing machines
out. He pleaded guilty, aud, after a
severe reprimand, His Honor sent him
back to Jail to do hard labor for two
years. While on the return trip to the
prison In charge Of the sheriff, he be.
came ugly and began TO fight with an.
other prisoner, striking him several
vicious blows. Petfish was hustled

State Game Preserves.

The Board of Game Commissioners
met at Harrisburg on Friday and de-
cided to expedite the creation of State
game preserves with the $6, 900 which
was appropriated for game propagation
by the last Legislature
The matter of securing wild turkey
eggs from other States, Matching them
in incubators and turning them loose
when sufficiently old to care for them
selves, was also discussed but no def
mite decision was reached. 1t will not
be long, however, before work along
this line will be started
EX State Treasurer Frank q. Harris,
of Cleartield; w. Hayward Myers. of
Williamsport, and Secretary Joseph
Kalbfus. OF Harrisburg, were appoint
ed a committee TO select sites for the
game preserves They will be estab-
lished upOr State land already control
led by the Fore stry Commission, after
consultation with that commission
The idea of the preserves is to provide
a haven of refuge for game, upon
which hunting will be allowed at no
time. The preserves will be enclosed
with fence of single wire. about
three feet from the ground-high
enough to be jumped by larger animals
and low enough for small animals to
run under it.
The game men already have their
eye upon couple of desirable spots,
one of which is place in Clinton
county which is natural refuge for
deer and other large game.

Boy Sustains Broken Arm.

Clarence Ferguson the nine year old
son of Mrs, George Ferguson. East
Market street, sustained a bad fracture
OF his left arm in very singular man
ner on Saturday. In company with
other boys he was fishing along the
river above town. Clarence walked
out on log. which lay in the river.
The bark had disappeared and it was
difficult to walk upon the log without
slipping. All went we'll, however, un-
til Clarence got bite. In the excite
ment which followed the boy slipped.
In an effort to save himself he threw
out his left hand, which as he went
over became fast in hole in the log,
while the weight of his body which
hung upon it gave it bad wrench and
broke both bones Of tho forearm just
above the wrist
Assistance Was soon at hand and the
boy vas taken to his home where
surgical aid was rendered.

CHASED BY TWO
SAVAGE DOGS

Edna Dietrich, l4-year- old cir
Of Charles Robson, East Mahoning
street, was attacked by couple of
savage dogs Teusday and narrowly
escaped being badly bitten The young
lady was attacked in the alley at the
rear of Mr. Robson's s and was chased
for some distance, one of the dogs seiz-
ing one of her limbs and biting her
below the knee The girl was terror
stricken as she fled along with the two
dogs in close pursuit. Just as one of
the dogs seized her limb Frank Merrill
and William HuIlihen came TO her res
cue. They heard her screaming and
running to the spot were there just III
time TO beat of the dogs as they both
were about TO spring upon her. The
dogs were in a savage mood and put
up determined fight The wound in
flcted upon the girl was not a very
bad one, but there is no telling TO
what extent she might have been in
jured had help not arrived at the op-
perfume moment.
Aside from the bite inflicted the
young lady suffered terribly from the
effects of fright and shock, so that
medical assistance was necessary.
The attack was altogether unprovok-
ed and is only another instance which
demonstrates the danger that people
are exposed to from worthless dogs
which are permitted TO run at large in
town
Considering the large number of per
sons bitten during a month or so past
the situation is little short of alarm
ing and if there ever was a time
when Council seemed called upon to
take some action relating to the dogs
that would protect the public, then
that time would seem to be the pres
