BRETON, FLYING
AUTOMOBILIST, IS
READY TO LEAP
He is Admitted to be One of the
Most Daring Performers now
Before the Public.

Breton, the flying autoist, came to
town last Thursday and all is in readi-
ness for his daring leap at 4:30 today,
Monday. The incline nearly fifty feet
In height at the starting point, stands
near corner of Main and Second streets
and was constructed by nome wOrkmen
under Breton's supervision.
Breton, the man who risks his life In
the thrilling descent, is q pleasant and
unassuming gentleman who has In his
appearance none OF the bravadO one
would expect. For twenty-five years
he has been trick rider on the bicycle.
For seven years he has held the cham.
pionship record for bicycle race be-
tween New York and Washington,
d. c., making 1t In "a 3-4 hours. He
also holds the record from Washington,
D. c., TO Baltimore on bicycle, max
ing it In 3 hours and 81 minutes. This
present feat Is q development OF the
"Leaping the Gap" attraction Of 1904
wherein he and his wife rode down the
incline on separate bicycles and leaped
over wide gap In mid-sir. It struck
Breton that the wheels could be joined
together and finally he added motor,
making it the complete, compact little
auto 1t Is today. His machine weighs
500 pounds and can be run as q regular

morning, talking Of his descent, ''and
many OF the wise boys think there is no
chance OF accident. But I wish they
could see some Of the bruises / carry

his person that proved the danger OF
his pursuit. You can never tell" be

trip the machine jumped the track,
caused in part by the high wind, and
landed on top of me-" In view OF this
1t would be we'll for all to keep at good
distance from the trestle this afternoon
and evening.
Breton's last descent was made at
WILDER, Nebraska, and the city daily
spoke OF his accident as follows: Bret
on did not land square on his machine
after making the gaps and as he left
the incline was thrown to the ground
and his machine went into the crowd OF
spectators, injuriug couple OF men
though not seriously. Breton himself
was slightly injured but made the leap

Reynoldsville's great Old Home Week
celebration WAS ushered in one minute
after midnight Sunday. Immediately

punctuated with revolver shots and

turned into Il perfect bedlam to express
the JOY of its citizens at anticipated
pleasure The noise ended ten minutes
after almost as suddenly rs it began,
but the fires smoldered long into the

its membership men and women OF all

| 1.-THE society by refusing to impose
on it's members any expressions Of
