Plenty of Game.

That there will be an unsurpassed
abundance of game Of various species,
ready for gunners, when the game
law" barriers are dropped October l,
is the belief of Coleman X. Sober of
Irish valley, a member of the Penn
sylvania State game commission,
Never before in his recollection, and
Mr. Sober has been close student of
natural history for over score of
years, can he recall such an apparent
supply of grouse, snipe, quail, wild
turkey and deer.
"From every indication, 'ssid game
commissioner Sober recently, II can
safely predict that gunners this year
will be appalled, by the amount Of
game.
~ have taken close observation Of
the promiscuous breeding of birds in
Northumberland and Cumberland
counties, and the results are surprising
The forest and woodland virtually
abound with them.
"The winter was not especially
hard on game. In regions where the
birds suffer most farmers provided for
them by scattering, daily, bags of
feed in the woods. This act of the
farmers saved hundreds from starva-
tion. There was plenty of food this
spring and summer, and the birds
simply did nothing but eat and grow
fat, so as to be in good trim for the
gunner in October.
"When the game season closes it
will show that the season of 1905 was
the best for many years.

MERCHANT MEETS
With BAD INJURY

Our we'll known merchant, Frank
G. Schoch, met with serious accident
yesterday forenoon. which effectively
illustrates how at all times we are ex-
posed to danger even in moments when
we fancy that we are most secure. As
a result of slight misstep he fell on
the floor, sustaining a combined frac
ture and dislocation of his right ank-
lie, injuries that will incapacitate him
for an active participation of business
for weeks to come.
| The accident occurred between 8
and 10 O'Clock yesterday morning. Mr..
Schoch in the delivery wagon belong
ing to the store, drove over to the
warehouse of the Welliver Hardware
company on an errand. Leaving the
wagon in front of the warehouse, Mr..
Schoch entered the building and pro-
ceeded to the rear end, where in COM
pany with Arthur Campbell. one of
the employees, he was about to ascend
to the second story. He placed his
right foot upon the first step, but did
not notice that his foot hold was very
insecure. He was about taking anoth-
er step upward when his foot on the
| lower step, which was held merely
by the toe, Slipped causing the man to
fall heavily to the floor. Unfortunate
| ly, leaning against the wall with one
end ON the floor about three or four
inches from the lower step was large
step ladder; as Mr.. Schoch's foot
slipped from the step it dropped into
the narrow space between the step and
the bottom of the ladder and there
was held imprisoned, exposing his
ankle to a terrible strain as he fell
| forward.
! Mr.. Sohoch was assisted to his feet,
but he was unable to walk, while he
suffered the most excruciating pain.
He was assisted to his wagon and
driven to his home on East Market
street.
There the family physician was call
ed, who Immediately saw that the in
jury was serious one and caused
help to be called in. In all five physi-
clans were in attendance-Drs. Ogles-
by. Patten, Newbaker, Curry and
Free.
After considerable difficulty the in
jury was found to consist of a frac-
ture of the fbula or smaller bone and
a dislocation of the tibia, or larger of
the two bones, at the ankle joint. The
setting of the broken bone and the re-
duction of the dislocation proved
difficult and delicate operation-one
attended with the most intense pain
to the patient. 1t was necessary to ad-
minister chloroform before attempting
the operation.
The bone was set and the dislocation
reduced by Drs. Newbaker, Curry and
Patten All that is needed now is
time, when nature will effect its own
cure. While the injured man may be
able to move about with the aid of
crutches in a week or so it will be
much longer time before he will have
the use OF his limb.

'DERA|LMENT
ATTRACTS CROWDS

The big p. 81 Il. switch engine No.
1875 was derailed in the yard of the
Structural Tubing works on Saturday
evening and Trainmaster A. r. Anth-
ony with his crew had nearly an all
night job in getting the locomotive
back upon the rails.
| The mishap occurred about o. clock,
jIst above East Mahoning street, as
the switcher was about running on the
trestling leading to the covered bridge
over the canal They were making a
| flying switch, when the big engine
jumped the track. Engineer John
Bickert quickly shut Off steam and
| jumped. In falling he struck his
shoulder against bank of Stag, but
escaped with slight bruises.
The derailment hardly could have
occurred at worse point. On one
side was high embankment formed
by the old cinder tip, while on the
other side was declivity or drop in
the surface several feet deep. Had the
engine gone five feet farther it would
have been on the trestling when the
accident would have been attended
with serious consequences. The loco
motive and tender were two feet or
more off the rails and lay in a sort of
"A twist. so that they were firmly lock-
ed together in one mass.
Such was the problem that Train
master Anthony found himself con-
fronted with when he arrived on the
scene with the wreck outfit about
dusk.
Hour after hour passed before any
thing like order was gotten out of the
tangled mass. Meanwhile the fruitless
operation afforded entertainment for
large crowd of townspeople, who came
and went. 1t was impossible to en-
ploy the steam derrick to any advant-
age, which had to work on the trestle
and could not swing the engine nor
reach the tender at all. Early in the
evening the ID. l.. & w. switcher was
brought around from the rear and
hitched to the tender with the hope
that it might be able to get it back
upon the track. The switcher was too
light and was unable to move the ten
der, which was tightly locked in the
mass.
The only way in which the wreck
ing outfit could be employed to any
advantage was by "hawsering" the
tender back until it could be got be-
side the rail when the "retracker"
was used. Before this could be done,
however, the tender had to be Jack
ed" up so that it could be uncoupled
from the engine. Several hours were
consumed on the tender alone.
The engine weighed forty-f five tons
and the best the steam derrick could
do from its position on the trestling
was to raise the heavy mass so that it
could be blocked up, in which position
after innumerable breakdowns and de-
lays it was successfully "hawsered"
back to a point where it could be IRE
tracked. 1t was after midnight when
the job was completed.
