The hardest fought and fastest basket

The only fault which could be found
was with the rather too numerous fouls
on either side.
At the close of the first period Spaull

lead OF the entire game, by their su-
perior ability in throwing baskets from
free throws In the last half Spauld-

NEW GOLD PIECES
ARE UNIQUE

A few of the new ten dollar gold
pieces, designed by st. Gaudens and
just issued from the miDts, have been
received in Danville, and few favor
ed individuals who have the price
have been permitted to own one. The
artist has succeeded in producing
something entirely unlike any other
American coin, and perhaps it requires
an artistic temperament of a high ord
er to appreciate the new piece, but the
prediction is made that there will be
general expression of opinion to the
effect that it is not nearly as hand
some piece as the similar coins
which preceded 1t.
So much license has been taken with
the American eagle that he looks like
a turkey buzzard with wry neck, and
the Indian on the heads side has
her hair done up with an immense
rat, concealed with high feather
hedge. The design is made unusually
deep. and one of the chief character
istics of the new coin is the substitu-
tion of stars on the edge in place of
the usual milling.

PUT YOUR rlONEY
IN THE BANK

Mrs. H. NJ. Long, of Blairsville,
came to McKeesport on Saturday
night, says the McKeesport Daily
News, and after depositing $50 in a
local bank, went TO a five and ten cent
store to make some purchases, and up
on leaving it discovered that a leather
pocketbook containing a 500 note, SO
in silver and some valuable papers had
been taken from her hand satchel
Commenting on her loss the mayor of
the city said II would be impossible
if the city had 1000 policemen, to
prevent such robberies. In McKeesport
we have seven banks. and all of them
are absolutely safe. In the banks is
the place the people should place their
money. The experience of Mrs. Long
should be a warning to others. She
placed part of her money in the
bank because she wanted to pay bill
out of the city. With the checking
system depositors can pay bills at
home the same way, and now that ev-
cry town is the country is over-run
with crooks and pick-pockets, l would
advise for the peoples safety that
they place their money in the banks
and pay all bills by check.

William MCVEY'S
BAD ACCIDENT

William MoVey, driver for the We'll
liver hardware company, fell from an
overhead platform yesterday and sus-
tanned broken collar bone and other
injuries of serious nature.
The accident occurred just before
noon. Mr.. McVey had climbed upon
the large platform suspended from ov-
erhead on the first floor, on which are
stored implements of various kinds.
While working there he got too near
the edge and stepping backward fell
to the floor, distance of some ten
feet.
He landed OH the hard boards. He
was very painfully hurt, although the
extent of his injuries could not be as
certained by his fellow workmen.
DR.. Patton was called. who found
the young mans injuries to consist of
a fracture of the right shoulder blade,
a scalp wound ON the back of the head
and bad bruises and abrasions about
the arms and other parts of the body.
The injured man was removed to the
home of his father, Patrick McVey.
Spruce street, where the fractured bone
was set. and the scalp wound stitched.
Last evening the injured man was
resting comfortably.

FLOBERT BALL
PIERCED WINDOW

Shooting within the borough. al
though limited to fiobert rifles, is be-
coming great nuisance. On Tuesday
a ball discharged from one of these
guns penetrated window on North
cumberland street puncturing the glass
and the window curtain. Had anyone
been inside the window at the time
they might have been seriously wound
ed.
The fobert rifles are used in killing
sparrows and in target shooting.
Whenever these guns are seen on the
street the police declare that they are
careful to remind the owners of the
restrictions placed upon shooting but
the man, or, as more frequently hap
pens, the boy with the fiobert, is very
emphatic in his declaration that he
intends ''to go outside the borough
limits" "
That the gunners do not always keep
their word is pretty evident. as is
proven by the episode Tuesday, when
the bullet penetrated a window. One if
not more of the shooters will fall into
the hands of the police before long,
when he will probably be very lucky
if he escapes the payment of five dol
lars, which is the penalty imposed by
the ordinance for wantonly discharg
ing fire arms in the borough.

CUTTING DOWN
THE SHADE TREES

c. NJ. Shoop is cutting down the
three shade trees in front of his dwell
ling on East Market street to make
room for sidewalk Improvements
A good many trees in town have
been cut down during the year past,
leaving a number of spots bare that
were we'll shaded before.
One of Danville's charms lies in the
abundance Of shade upon its streets.
The tendency. however, seems to be
to get rid of the trees. 1t is hoped,
however, that the woodman's axe"
will not cut too deep and may be stay
ed before it invades several of our
thiokly shaded streets that remain.
1t is gratifying that in most cases.
as at Mr., Shoop's residence, a fine
sidewalk or other improvement takes
the place of the trees cut down. Thus
while we miss the trees the eye has
something pleasing and artistic to
gaze upon in their stead.

ENGINEERS
ARE At WORK

A corps of engineers are at work
at the hospital for the insane try
ing to solve the difficult problem of
sewage, which up to the present has
been permitted to pollute the Susaue-
hanna river.
The borough of Danville in the past
has found much cause for protest in
the pollution of the river, which in
one form or another. constantly goes
on at the hospital, while State Health
Commissioner Dixon, it is understood,
is opposed to the principle of river
pollution and objects as much to the
borough's sewer, which opens into the
river, as TO the unsatisfactory meth
ods of disposing of sewage at the
hospital.
The question Of sewage has proven
the source Of much trouble and an
noyance both to the borough council
and the hospital authorities. The pre-
sent survey Is the outgrowth of con-
ference between DR.. Dixon and the
trustees of the Danville Hospital held
at Harrisburg last summer, at which
III was agreed that sanitary engineer
of high reputation representing the
trustees and an engineer of the State
board of health should go over the
ground jointly and try to decide upon
some system that would bring full and
permanent relief.
The engineers employed are 81
bright and Nevius of Philadelphia.
They have been working at the no, .
pital for the insane for a week or more
past. The only ore on the job yester.
day was L. J. Riley, member of the
corps.
a great amount of work is involved
in the survey at the hospital and be-
fore the typographical map, on which
the engineers are at work, will be com
pleted cold weather will no doubt be
upon us.

CRUSADE AGAINST
7-CENT MILK

Bloomsbury is having a real, live
milk war since the dealers got togeth-
er and raised the price to seven cents q
quart, which rate went into effect last
Monday. Last night the main streets
of the town were paraded by a good
sized delegation. The feature of the
parade was a COW which was liberal
ly placarded with signs which said
"I'll give milk for six cents. - Other
signs carried by the paraders ridicul-
ed the advance in price.
District Attorney o. A. Small has
announced that he will investigate the
advanced milk prices, and if he can
discover that the dealers actions have
savored at all of conspiracy in re-
straint of trade" he will institute pro-
ceedings.

THE CRAVE OF A
FREE MASON

The borough council held special
meeting on Monday night to take ac-

The old burial ground is now in the
hands of the borough authorities and
the meeting was held pursuant to the
final decree of the court to authorize
the insertion of notices in the news
papers relating to removal of the re-
mains of tile dead.
These notices will run two weeks.
At the expiration of that period every
thing will be in readiness to move
swiftly with the last stage of the work

less cold weather comes unusually
early the old burial ground will prob
ably be wiped out of existence this
fall.
The interments were all made SO
long ago that it is unlikely that a
vestige of the remains can be found.
With one or two exceptions there will
be no removals.
Among the markers that remain is
that of DR.. Petriken's grave, monu-
ment. The inscription reads as fol-
lows:
David Petriken, NJ. D. died March
IA, 1S47, aged 81 years and 4 months. :"
A tombstone that attracts consider
able attention is an immense marble
slab on the lower side of the cemetery
on which are chiseled the symbols Of
Freemasonry and the following in
soription:
"Ou1 brother, James Jordan Steb-
bins. Born at St. Croix, West Indies.
March 90, 1921. Died September 6,
l84S. "
The msn buried is distinctly recalled
by our older residents. He was book :
keeper at the iron works and was an
enthusiastic Freemason.
An effort will be made by the Free
masons of Danville to find the remains
and re-inter them in another cemetery.
If the remains can not be found, the
tombstone will be removed.
The remains of the Petriken family
are said to have been removed and "A

still standing in the old cemetery is

older persons will take warning from
a little affair which occurred last even
