Ed. Gulick and Dan. Harris were
here from Brodtville Saturday.
They say the heirs of Henry Caller
have asked the town of Wyalusing
for damages. Their town puts
$500 into permanentIroads this year.
This sum with a like amount from
the county will build quite a
stretch. The opinion seems to be
general that the board will not al
low Callers heirs anything for his
accidental death. The defense will
be that he was very careless
driver, and in this case permitted
the mules to run up on the bank to
avoid a mud hole; that the road at
the place of accident, while narrow,
was not dangerous.
Memorial Day was observed in
this place by the decoration OF
graves in the cemeteries. Quite a
delegation Of our people attended
the exercises at Lancaster.
The rural route carriers will take
their two weeks vacation beginning
next week.
