Pretty Display
Of Fireworks
Great Crowd Witnessed the
Exhibition Thursday

One of the prettiest displays Of fire.
works ever seen in the county was
given about $50 p. m. Thursday on the
vacant lot opposite Breton's auto in
cline. 1t was in charge of the amuse-
ment committee. The big crowd of
pleasure-seekers were just turning
away after seeing Breton leap the gap
when half dozen sky rockets shooting
over their heads was the signal for a
burst of beauty thai held them SPELL
bound for half an hour or more. Some
OF the pieces were very elaborate and
costly and caught the fancy of the
people, who expressed their approval
in repeated cheers. Perhaps the
crowning feature was the representa-.
tion OF a house, of beautiful architect
ural design, aglow with light at win
dows and doors. AS the piece proceed
ed a fire seemed to break out, flames
shot on high, sparks rained down and
presently the structure commenced to
fall, disappearing at last 10 darkness.

Breton was wildly cheered as he landed
safe and sound after a forty foot ght

it were unanimous in their opinion that
he stands pre-eminent among perform

Immediately after the exhibition a
beautiful display of fireworks was given
on an adjoining lot, an account Of which
appears elsewhere.
While these events were transpiring
on Main street, dance was in progress
in Franks park which was one of the
largest and most enjoyable events of the
kind given in Reynodsville for many
years. Young people from all over the
section congregated there and waltzed
away the time until the eastern sky be-
gan to glow with the tints of new day.
1t was the greatest day Of great
week and alone sufficed to prove that
the Old Home Week was the most nota-

AN EX-SHERIFF OF
THE COUNTY HELPS
TO LYNCH A MAN.
Posse Madly Gallops Through
the Town in Search an AL
legged Horse Thief.

One of the greatest farces ever at
tempted in Reynoldsville was pulled off
Thursday afternoon when a posse of
eight men, mounted and armed, pursued
an alleged horse thief through the
streets of town, going at a gallop through
the crowded thoroughfares, firing blank
cartridges, shouting like Comanches on
the war path and finally rounding up
their victim on the ball ground. A
pitch battle was fought between pur-
suers and pursued but the william was
out matched. A good stout rope was
produced and the culprit was promptly
strung up to a nearby tree.
This little extravaganza, reminiscent
of Wild West days, was the suggestion
of W. c. Elliott and those figuring in
mad race were George Hartman, the
culprit, Postmaster Burns, D. b. Break
ey, John Fuller, beroy Yohe, Sheldon
Evans, Pete Yenewine, Frank Guns and
John Pomroy.
l. ut iyuCuinS bco was uoO oh pho
program and when the people heard the
continuous firing, and saw the wildly
galloping horsemen careering through
the streets, the excitement was intense.
Everywhere the posse put the question,
where did he go?" ibid you see the
fellow who stole the horse?" and many
more of the kind and in few moments
quarter of the towns population came
pouring into the Main street or went
racing after the posse. 1t was danger
ously thrilling, and score Of accidents
were narrowly averted when the horse.
man cut through the packed crowd. Not
only Main street but side streets were
traversed in the search.
The farce was well executed and
made lots of fun for the big crowd on
the streets.

IRA c. FULLER WAS
BORN NEAR HERE
EIGHTY YEARS AGO.
A Son of John Fuller, Pioneer
Settler in this Section of
the Country.

Ira G. Fuller, of Brookvlle, who was
born on the Fuller farm at the junction
above Prescottvilc, eighty years ago,
was one of the visitors in Reynoldsville
Thursday. Mr.. Fuller is, perhaps, the
Oldest man living who was born in this
immediate vicinity. This section was
then vast wilderness in the true sense
OF the word. Bear, deer, wildcats and
other kinds of wild animals roamed this
section at will in Mr.. Fuller's boyhood
days. The only house in this place at
that time was little log cabin, then a
palatia mansion, where DR.. S. Rey-
nolds now resides on Main street.
AT one time since Reynoldsvile was
incorporated Mr.. Fuller was banker
and leading merchant in this place.
Mr. Fuler's sight and hearing are as
good as they were in early life and he is
very active for a man of four score
years, in fact people who do not know
his age would not guess him to be a
man over seventy years old. Mr..
Fuller was looking for some old citizens
to talk over by gone days, and we did
not see him later TO learn whether he
found any one to swap ancient rem
iniscents with or not. He expected to
fine "Uncle" John S. Smith and wife
and spend an hour in the long ago
with them.

Play all Around the Young

GILLESPIE, BELL, KANE AND
MALONEY PLAY BRILLIANTLY
Plenty of Fun and Some Science
and the Veterans all Survived to
tell the Tale Next Day.

One OF the crack features OF the Old
Home Week celebration was the game
OF base ball Thursday between the old
Mountain Leaguers, who cavorted
around the bases some quarter of a GEN.
tury. ago, and bunch OF Youngsters
who thought they were going to have
some fun with the hoary headed old
veterans. They were all there-the
heroes o. the diamond in the davs when
lumbermen, raftsmen. minei and other

ball whose wont it was in : long ago to
station catcher around corner and
twist the sphere right into his nit, was
in the box feeling the hero he was In
the days before he degenerated into a
mere business man, while Jack Kane
with 300 pounds avoirdupois, playfully
gam boiled around the bases and threw a
few just to show that "handing them
out" has ept his arm in excellent
trim. Maloney who once despised the
new tangled padded glove and caught
with bare hands anything short of a
cannon ball, condescended to use a NIT
