SUSTA|NS A
BROKEN NOSE

Henry Kocher, an employe of the
Structural Tubing works, met with a
serious accident Tuesday forenoon.
There was CONSERVATION among the
employees of the mill pending the ar
rival of doctor, as it was thought
the man would bleed to death.
Mr.. Kocher, who is an elderly man,
was working at the shears, which wer
being employed to cut up lot of old
iron rails. He was satanding close by
when one of the severed lengths in
some way getting foul in the shears
flew up with terrific force, striking the
man upon the face He fell backwards
under the force of the blow while the
blood gushed out of his nose in n
stream.
A physician was quickly called up
over the phone. Meanwhile every eff
fort was made to stop the flow of blood,
but in vain. By the time DR.. New
baker arrived, which was scarcely more
than ten minutes after the call, the
injured man had lost ut least "A quart
of blood and was very weak.
Mr.. Kocher was struck by the iron
squarely across the bridge of the nose
and it required onlya slight examina-
tion to convince the doctor that the
nose was broken. The bad hemorrh-
age was due solely to the fracture of
the bones. 1t required only min
ute's work under the physicians deft
manipulation to adjust the broken
bone, after which the hemorrhage ceas-
ed.
The injured man was removed to his
home on Grand street, where at last
accounts he was doing very we'll. a
broken nose while serious enough is
not the sort of an injury to keep a
man confined very long.

ber of people gathered at Milton park
yesterday ON the occasion of the an
nual picnic of Pomona grange, No. 81.
1t is estimated that between 400 and 800

to other events that conflicted with
the grangers outing. A large number

wishing to lose two days in success
sion, decided TO forego the Milton

Attempt to Wreck b. & S. Train.

An attempt to wreck passenger
train on the bloomsbury and Sullivan
railroad near Benton Tuesday evening
was frustrated by Edward Harms, who
happened to pass the scene of the at
tempted wreck.
A pile of steel rails had been placed
across the track. They were discover
ed by Karns just a few minutes be-
fore the evening passenger arrived
at that point, which was a short dis
tance above Forks; He ran to the oh
struetion and succeeded in pushing it
of the track just as the train appear
cd around the sharp curve. only a
few yards distant. After the train
had passed he heard some one run
over the bank from the railroad tracks
and upon an investigation he discov-
cred foot prints. Evidently the mis-
creant had been waiting to witnes,

DROWNED
At ELYSBURC

One of the saddest deaths in the his
tory of Elysburg occurred Tuesday af-
ternoon, when Mrs. Lillian b. Kauff-
man, wife of Lee Kauffman,a a promin-
ent young farmer, fell into spring in
the cellar of her home and was drown
ed.
Just how the accident occurred is a
mystery as Mrs. Kaufman was alone
when the sad accident happened. She
was last seen by her husband on her
way to the cellar. She was carrying
pail and was going for water for sup
per 1t is evident that in stopping ov-
er to fill the pail she lost her balance
and fell headlong into the spring. As
the spring is deep and narrow it was
impossible for her to extricate herself
and death ensued before any person
discovered her perdicament.
Garvin Kaufman, young nephew
of the bereaved husband who has bee
employed on the farm, upon going in
to the cellar some time later was hor
I'd HIS auIlb Ilttti iIsb III piiC
water. He endeavored to remove Mrs.
Kaufman from the spring until help
had been summoned. Efforts were made
to restore life to the body but to no
avail.
The deceased was 80 years of age
and was married only last January.
She was we'll known throughout the
region on the South side of the river.
She is survived by brother, Hatton
L. Helwig. of Seattle Washington.
Lee Kaufman, the husband, was form
srly employed at the hospital for the
insane at this place, having left there
soon after his marriage last January.
Mrs. Kaufman was the daughter of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon Helwig.
1t will be remembered Mr.. Helwig
died from injuries received in an ac-
cident in 1904. A year later the death
of Mrs Helwig occurred, Mrs. Kauf
mans demise being the third death
within two years.

Anarchy Reigns at Berwick.

The respectable element of Colum-
bia county is aroused to the highest
pitch of excitement over the lawless-
ness and anarchy which exists among
the foreigners at West Berwick.
On Saturday night an atrocious muir
der was planned and executed while
another was attemped. The murderers
are still at large.
District Attorney Small has acted
promptly and sent an appeal to the
superintendent of the State constabul-
airy asking for squad of State police
to help preserve order, as the Italians
had broken beyond all bounds of con-
troll of the county authorities, who ar 9
powerless to prevent a repitition of
the crimes.
So far as can be learned Joe Jones
the West Berwick Italian who is want
ed as the alleged murderer of Joe
Moriocz in West Berwick ON Saturday
night, is still at large and not much
effort is being put forth toward his
capture.
The Columbia county commissioners
held meeting Tuesday but offered no
reward. 1t is stated that no request
had been made for the commissioners
to offer any reward. So far as can be
learned there has not even been a war
rant issued.
People everywhere are deorying the
outrage of Saturday night. There is
much talk heard all through the coun-
ty against the saloons in West Berwick
and the deeds which are committed in
that vicinity.
1t is said that the black hand So
eiety holds meetings in West Berwick
and that it is implicated in both these
crimes. People fear that unless action
is taken in the immediate future out
breaks among the foreigners will be-
come more frequent and violent and
neither life nor property will be safe.

VIII Fill Canal at Bloomsbury.

The ID. l.. W. officials in special
car, visited Bloomsbury yesterday for
the purpose of inspecting the canal at
that place. about which the citizens of
Bloom have been loud in their cam
plants of late.
The ID. L. & w. people were some
what surprised to find that the condi
tions about which the complaints had
been entered were greatly augmented
by the town of Bloomsbury itself in
emptying surface sewage into the dis
used ditch.
The railroad men, however, seemed
to be in favor of early improvements
at Bloomsburg and it is expected the
company will fill up the canal.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

The Pittston Gazette charges that
the backward state of the public roads
in the coal regions, as well as the lack
of other improvements, is due to the
parsimony of the coal companies. 1t
says: "It is not very enviable dis
tinction for corporation officials to be
lined up against good roads, but ex-
perience in the coal region has proved
that the coal companies are against
any public improvement that tends to
increase their taxes, Notwithstanding
the fact that every man who knows
anything about taxation in the coal
region is convinced that our wealth of
coal does not bear its proper proper
ion of the public expense.

ARREST BRINGS
Good RESULTS

StEttb, Nh'S' ''''
been in disfavor for some time past by
reason of cloud and unseemly noises
nightly emitted from one of the resi-
dences there, promises to redeem all
short comings and in the future to be
at least as far as department mt night
is concerned one of the most model
and circumspect avenues i'll the bor-
ough. 1t has all come to pass as the
result of an arrest made Saturday.
The residence that was the cause of
complaint is presided over by LeRoy
Williams. Now, the worst that could
be said against Leroy even at the
hearing, was that he was too good
natured" and that others with no idea
of propriety took advantage of his
hospitality and imposed on him. They
came often and they stayed late. The
means they employed of killing time
might have passed muster in mining
camp but they were too noisy to suit
the ideas of the staid people who reside
within an earshot of Canal street.
Complaint was of daily occurrence
and night after night while elsewhere
the town was wrapped in silence the
chief of police made weary pilgri-
mage to Canal street urging modera-
tion among the merrymakers. At
length the monotony began to wear on
the officer and he decided to try some
other plan.
Accordingly he lodged information
before Justice Oglesby Saturday, charg
ing Leroy Williams with maintaining
a nuisance, specifying that Cloud and
unseemly noises" were kept up nightly
disturbing the neighbors and causing
complaint. A warrant was placed in
the hands of Constable w. T.. Young,
who in due time appeared with lie.
Roy.
The case was soon disposed of. No
one regretted the matter more than the
man arrested, who explained to the
justice what he was up against He
was wholly in the hands of his friends
and it was through no wish of his
that his house came to have the repu-
alton for cloud and unseemly" noises
at night Chief Mincemoyer said that
quiet was all that he was after and he
would withdraw the charge if the de-
fendant would get rid of his noisy
guests and permit no disturbance on
any occasion. OF course it was under
stood the man arrested was to pay the
costs.
The defendant readily agreed Since
through their indiscretions he had
been subjected to the indignity of an
arrest he was in position to make
sweeping demands of his erstwhile
guests and there was grim determina-
tion ON his face as he promised that
henceforth Canal street would be
a quiet place. So it was settled: the
defendant planked down the costs-a
trifle over two dollars-and withdrew
thanking the chief of police for ex
ercising so much clemency.
Canal street since has been rs quiet
as country church yard. Sweet sleep
has fallen to all and there has been no
complaint nor cause for complaint.
