A Big deer
SURPRISES FARMER

While number of our leading hunt
ers were engaged in an unsuccessful
pursuit of deer in the White Deer
mountains it is interesting to note
that big two-prong buck was stroll
ing around through the cornfields of
Rush township, approaching within
two miles and half of Danville.
The deer Thursday was first seen
near Klinesgrove. He passed quite
near Charles Moulter's barn at the
head of the long hollow leading up
from the river. Mr.. Moulter could
have shot the animal if he had been
armed.
The deer also passed through the
Gulick farm. Mr.. Guliok with sever
al men was engaged in husking corn,
when to his amazement he saw the
deer leisurely strolling across the corn
field some ten or twelve rods distant.
He had a good view of the deer and
noted shat he was fine specimen with
two prongs. A moment later the deer
caught glimpse of the men, when he
beat hasty retreat.
An hour later a party os> hunters
among whom was George Bedea of
this city came along and were inform
ed of what had occurred. The foot
prints of the deer were visible in the
soft earth and Mr.. Bedea and party
set out in pursuit of the deer.
They tracked the buck over every
foot of the ground he had traversed
after leaving Gulick' s farm until he
reached the hollow above Kipp's run
embraced by the farm of Lafayette
Sechler, where the animal seemed to
have taken the bed of the creek and
thus was lost to pursuit. AT the latter
point he was travelling in the direction
of Danville and was not more than
2tS miles distant.
There is no plausible theory to- ac-
count for the deer being in Rush town
ship, remote from any of the known
stamping grounds. Alarmed by hunt.
ers he may have fed great distance,
The deer would probably have been
shot before proceeding very far, if it
had not been that under the present
law a shot gun may not be used on
deer but only such gun as ''propels
one pellet, bullet or ball at single
discharge, 1t was only natural that
the gun of latter or legal type was not
available at the farm houses at the
moment the deer came along.

Eirst SIeighs Make Appearance.

The sleighs made their appearance
upon the street yesterday afternoon
and during the evening the sound OF
sleigh bells could be heard at frequ-
ens intervals.
The sleighs got along very nicely ON
the paving but on any of the streets
except Mill street the roadbed was
pretty rough. 1t has been some years
since sleigh bells have been heard SO
early in the season.
Regardless of the fact that winter
seems to be upon US there is still q
great deal of corn to be husked
throughout the COUNTRY, The outlook
on that account is not an agreeable
one to farmers.
During October and the first part OF
November it was impossible to obtain
the necessary help and the farmers got
behind with their work. Since the
retrenching incidental to the money
stringency there has been plenty OF
unemployed men, who would be glad
to obtain q job husking corn. But
during the last couple of weeks the
weather has proven unfavorable fol
such work.

DOUBLE HEADER
FOR DANVILLE

The basket ball season opened in this
city on Thanksgiving, with two good
games in the armory, between the
strong Pittston team and the locals.
The afternoon game was called at
2 80 o'clock, and for time it looked
rather cloudy for Danville. when as
though recovering from the surprise
occasioned by the fast snappy work
of the visitors.t he locals by num-
Der of successive baskets, gained the
lead, which they continued to hold
throughout the game. Score 5o--36.
The evening game was repetition
of that of che afternoon, ending with
score of 6S-28
Although the scores would seem to
ind dtcate. games devoid of interest, the
playing at all times was fast and fur
ious. The home team had great ad
vantage in weight, but in spite OF this
had to be sup to the game" every Sec
ond. The visitors showed the effect
of good hard work and their team
work was one of the features.
Altogether the games on Thanksgiv.
ing were free from the dirty" play
ing, that discouraged the attendance
during the last few years, and if it is
a sample of the games to follow, bask-
ct ball Will no doubt return to popular
favor.

Arranging for Holiday Traffic.

Managers of express companies and
railroad officials are arranging for a
series of meetings to be held this week
aud next to arrange for handling the
holiday business. Preliminary meet
ings were held several days ago with
representatives of some of the roads
and it was announced Saturday that
the roads are in fairly good condition
to handle this traffic. 1t was explain
ed that the lake season is drawing to
close and that cars of all classes will
be more plentiful than at any time
this year. There has also been slight
falling off in freight tonnage, due to
the closing OF some of the mills and
coke plants.
Last year the railroads were unable
to provide cars to handle the holiday
traffic and goods that had been
shipped early in December was not
delivered until after Christmas. The
express companies were naturally
blamed for this delay, and the meet
ings this week will be held wish a
view of preventing any serious delays
this year The holiday rush is expect
ed to start within the next week, as
there is now a noticeable increase in
this business.

PRECIPITATED
THROUGH WINDOW

While the game of basket ball was
at its height in the armory Thursday
night mishap occurred among the
audience. which was more sensation
al" in its nature than any of the plays
made on the floor. Through the sup
port of a seat giving away four per-
sons were precipitated through the
large plate glass window and deposit
ed on the sidewalk out side of the
building.
1t occurred about Q 40 o'clock
during the last half of the game. Un-
der the gallery. next to Mill street,
are several rows of benches. which are
generally filled. Thursday night was
no exception. On the last seat as is
customary in order to obtain a good
view of the play the spectators got up
on the bench using the back as a seat
and placing their feet on the seat pro-
per. The combined weight was con-
siderable-more than the inch board
forming the back was designed to sup
port and just as the persons sitting
upon it became little too demonstra-
tive in their applause it split into two,
precipitatIng four spectators back
ward against the large plate glass,
seven by nine feet.
The sound of the boards as they
went to splinters was instantly fol-
lowed by the crash of broken glass as
the big plate window was shattered to
fragments. No play on the floor was
sensational" enough to hold the
audience under such distracting cir
cumstances.
There was d rush toward the rear of
the building only to find that four
persons of the audience had disappear
ed and below where they sat was a
yawning chasm bounded by jagged
points of plate glass which marked the
course the absent spectators had taken
in their trip to the sidewalk.
officer Voris followed by others ran
outside the building but the luckless
four had already picked themselves up
and were trying to realize how it had
all occurred.
The four persons were all more or
less injured. Jacob GearhaTt sustain
