Three log RATS owned by G. G. Gas
ton and being run out of Tionesta Creek
by the contractor, Nelson Moore, last
Wednesday night, furnished rather ex-
citing time for the crew of eight men
The RATS had been lodged on Robb rifle
and when the rising water carried them
of, some of the men had to swim to get
on board. The RATS had no oars and the
crew had hard work plotting them safely
through. Two of the RATS were landed
in the CASTOR pond near the mouth of the
creek, but the third, containing from fif-
teen to twenty thousand feet of hemlock
and oak logs, went to pieces and floated
out into the river, greater part being
lost. Alfred Sopher, of Titusville, a
member of crew, fell on the raft and dis
located his right shoulder as they were
entering the pond. He came on to town
and DIR. Bovard put the injured shoulder
back to place. We understand others OF
the crew had narrow escapes from
drowning.
