ROBBERS TAKE
A RICH HAUL

While Mr.. and Mrs. John Kern, Low
er Mulberry street, were absent from
home Sunday evening thieves took pos
session of the-premises and stole some
sixty dollars worth of silverware. jew
elry, &c.
The robbery was one of the boldest
on record. Mr.. and Mrs. Kern left the
house at about 40 o'clock. Before
leaving they were careful as usual to
see to it that the doors were locked
and the house was secure against in
truders. When they returned home.
about 8: 80 o clock, they were amazed
to discover that they had been robbed.
Every drawer upstairs and down
stairs had been opened and its contents
turned topsy turvey. The mattresses
on the beds iwere turned over; even
the pillow cases were turned inside
out, revealing how diligently the
thieves had prosecuted their search for
money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kern soon discovered
that the thieves had made a heavy
haul. Among the articles stolen were
the following: silver plated tea set.
gold-lined; diamond studded locket
with chain, gold; lady's long gold
neck chain lady's pocket book, chain
handle beaded necklace 1 gold rings :;
American bull dog revolver, 80; raz-
or.
An examination of the premises
showed that the thieves had gained
entrance through rear cellar door.
which happened to be the one weak
point about the premises. The door,
which was fastened on the inside, con-
tanned hole, through which the
thieves inserted stick and raised the
latch
1t was nearly IL o'clock before the
police were notified. The two officers
Immediately got busy and worked on
the job practically all night. They
failed, however, to obtain clew and
there is little probability that any ar
rests will be made
Many persons incline to the view
that the robbery was committed by
tramps

A parent
IS IMPRISONED

The first TIME in Montour county or
possibly in this section of the state
that imprisonment was inflicted as a
punishment for neglecting to send a
child to school occurred in this city
yesterday. when Harry Mottern in de-
fault of paying fine and costs in the
case was committed to the county pris-
on for two days.
Mottern was arraigned before Just
ice of the Peace W. V, Oglesby Thurs
day afternoon, charged with neglect
ing to send his little daughter to
school the required 70 per cent Of the
time. The facts were established to
the satisfaction of the Justice, who
imposed the usual fine, which, aogeth-
er with the costs, amounted to 81 70.
The defendant took exception to the
proceedings and he was given five days
in which to appeal. The five days ex-
pired Monday and Mottern had not
taken out an appeal.
The man was accordingly brought up
before the justice and reminded that
nothing remained for him but to pay
the fine and costs. In emphatic terms
he refused to pay up and declared that
he would go to Jail first.
Seeing that he was in earnest in his
refusal to pay, the justice decided to
take him at his word and proceeded
to write out commitment. In such
cases the act of assembly provides two
days imprisonment for the first Of
fense; five days for the second offense,
while for the third offense the defend
ant is to be bound over to court.
This being the first offense Mottern
was given two days in prison to date
from 3 80 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Truant Officer Young, who had the
case in charge, conducted the man to
the county prison.
The school authorities are determin-
ed that the law must be upheld.

MR.. HILLS HORSE
DEVELOPS RABIES

The horse belonging to George Hill
of White Hall, which was bitten by
Frank Weigerman's dog in this city
on September 9th last, developed symp-
toms of rabies last week and was shot.
The head was sent to the live stock
sanitary board for examination.
Mr.. Hills horse was bitten at the
same time that Moses Bond s horse,
which developed rabies, was bitten.
Mr.. Hills horse was standing in front
of the warehouse of the Welliver Hard
ware company. while Mr.. Bonds team
was backed up at the station platform
when Weigerman's dog came along.
The latter horse, it will be recalled,
became very violent as the disease de-
veloped. Veterinarian Reed diagnosed
the case as rabies and the horse was
shot.
Mr.. Hills horse was closely watch
ed 1t was thought, however, after
the expiration of several months, that
danger was probably past. About We'd
nesday of last week the horse became
i'll and revealed symptoms that were
by no means reassuring.
DR.. Reed was called, who observed
the case closely and finally. on Satur-
day, became convinced that the horse
had hydrophobia. The horse was shot
by DR.. Reed, who brought the head
into town, later sending it to the live
stock sanitary board for microscopic
inspection.
The fact that Mr.. Hil's horse de-
veloped rabies would prove beyond a
doubt that Mr. Bonds horse, bitten at
the same time and by the same dog,
was similarly afflicted.
Mr. Hill feels his loss very keenly,
as the horse bitten, was quite pet,
trained for family driving

HOSPITAL LAWN
Is BEAUTIFUL

Notwithstanding the prevalence of
unfavorable weather the hospital
grounds present an unusually fine ap-
pearance. Contrasted with the sur
rounding fields, on which less care has
been lavished, they blossom forth as
perfect paradise of beauty.
The undulating grounds lend pict-
uresque beauty to the deep green of
the lawn and the rich colors of buds
and blossoms.
Among the trees that adorn the
grounds are two varieties that are
especially beautiful at this season.
One of these is the Judas tree, with
rose-colored flowers hangingIin clusters
among its branches; the other is the
Pyrus Japonica, tree which is re-
splendent with foliage of deep pink
flowers. Scattered throughout the
grounds are a number of each Of the
above kinds of trees. They contribute
wonderfully to the general effect.
