HIGHWAYMEN
were CAUGHT

Charged with completely in the rob-
berry of Carris Snyder. the Winfield
butcher. who was held up on the
Shickellimy road on Thursday after
noon. John Welch, of Milton, and Will
liam Frank, of Sunbury, were arrested
at the Reading station in the latter
town, Saturday morning by Officers
Pursley and Buery, of the P. & R. coal
and iron police. Snyder had just
bought ticket for White Deer above
Lewisburg. and was waiting on the
train which leaves there northbound
at s :35 o'clock, when the officers took
him into custody. They searched him
and found knife which they believ-
ed belonged to the butcher. They took
him to the lookup and later removed
him to prison at Lewisburg, where he
will be tried. Frank was caught lat
er Saturday afternoon.
The officers are looking for one, W.
Herman. who is said to be missing
and who is accused of being partner
in the crime. They expect to arrest
him in the near future.
The robbery was one of the most
daring that has ever been committed
in this vicinity. One of the highway
men pointed two revolvers at Snyder
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. A second seized the reins of
the team, and the third clambered on
the wagon and rified his pockets of
SO aud knife Although they had
over days start of the police they
evidently were in no hurry to leave
the vicinity, as they believed that the
masks formed from red handkerchiefs,
which they wore, had etfectually con-
cealed their identity. That the offic-
ers ran them TO earth in so short a
time reflects creditably on their detec-
tive ability.

SOLDIER RETURNS
FROM PHILIPPINES

Il. s. Hahn, a young soldier, has
returned to his home in this city af-
ter serving an enlistment in the Phil
ippine Islands. He had very inter.
esting experience while in Uncle S
Sam's service and expects to re-enlist.
AS might be expected during the
last three years, Mr.. Hahn has seen
plenty Of adventure. He is an alert
and bright young man showing the
excellent effect Of army discipline and
is picture of sound physical health.
He describes very intelligently the
different countries that he has visited
and the different phases of life that
have fallen under his observation.
Mr.. Hahn enlisted at Williamsport
on July 2Sth. 1905. He was sent to
the recruiting camp at jefferson bar.
racks, St. Louis, Mo. He was assign
ed to troop E. Third Cavalry. After
three months at Boise, Idaho, Troop
Z. was ordered to San Francisco,
whence five days later it embarked
for the Philippine Islands. On Jan
uary 10Th, 1906, the transport arrived
at Camp Stotzenburg, on the island
Of Luzon.
Mr.. Hahn served two years and five
months in the 3rd Cavalry when he
was transferred to the 9th Cavalry.
Shortly afterwards lie was detailed on
detached service at Manila, where he
remained until June 14th last when he
embarked on the transport Sheriden
for San Francisco, landing there on
July 18th last. After his arrival he
vas stationed on Angels island. On
July 24th he was discharged. 1t will
be seen that the long period of six
weeks or so that has elapsed since
Mr.. Hahn embarked at Manila has,
with the exception of about ten days,
been o""~riod with his Journey home

ing especially hazardous or exciting
occurs, the soldiers are kept moving.
Everything possible is being done by
the government to improve conditions
III camp and make the life of the SOL
dier inviting. Every post has high
school course, where every soldier, II
so inclined, may improve his educa-
ton. At present the post chaplain is
the instructor but movement is on
foot to supply each post with a trained
teacher.
Mr.. Hahn got his first taste of mil
itary life as member OF Company f,
18th regiment, N. G. P, to which he
belonged for couple of years He is
completely won over to army life and
does not hesitate to say that, after
spending some time with relatives in
Danville, he will re-enlist.
During February last Mr. Hahn had
the pleasure Of running across First
Lieutenant Charles G. Metler at
Manila. Lieutenant Metler, he says,
is intensely popular with all classes.
At the field meet at Manila during
January Lieutenant Metler's battery
carried off the honors in the artillery
line. In recognition of its prowess
his battery was held in Manila to per
form at the carnival, which followed.

Annual Outing Yesterday

Danville Lodge No. 754. B. P. o. E.. &,
held its annual picnic at DeWitt's
Park yesterday. The occasion proved
quite a success. The slight rain had
the effect of keeping down the attend

the afternoon, however, when the
weather outlook became more favor
able, large number who hesitated
during the morning, went over to the
park.
The outing was attended by the Elks

CATFISH BY
THE MILLION

Whatever conditions may confront
the fisherman, who casts his line into
the river there is one body of water
where fish are plentiful and can be
caught by the score, although it is
the last place where one would expect
to find any of the finny tribe, namely
in the old canal.
For some time past rumors have
come down town from the upper end
OF the borough to the effect that the
old waterway for square or so above
and below Beaver street is teeming
with catfish of all ages and sizes.
Owing to some irregularity in the
bottom of the old ditch, above the gas
works the water lies some three feet
deep, condition which has obtained
for years past. Those who think tn
canal is offensive in the vicinity of
Mill street would do we'll to pay a
visit to Beaver street. The mixture
in the canal there defies analysis 1t is
a sort of diabolical mixture, often
sive to the eye and nostril alike, cover
ed with green scum, which was
brought over from last year and the
year before and is becoming more
deeply colored and more pungent in
odor with every day that it lies under
the broiling sun of summer
In this 'ooze and slime" the catfish
live move and have their being. AS is
well known the catfish has predilec-
tion for muddy waters and when it
comes to diet it is not over fastid.
ious in its tastes. 1t was never dream.
ed, however, by the best informed
student OF natural history that the
catfish would go this limit Suffice it
to say, therefore, that the foul and
reeky canal is so full of "oatties' that
they actually crowd each other. Resi-.
dents near the spot produce testimony
to show that the fish exist in mil
lions. " AT times they come to the sur.
face and can be seen. Many Of them
are foot in length, some are longer,
but the majority are smaller in size
and are rapidly growing and will
therefore soon want more room
Fishing in the canal, therefore, is
good-if any one can endure the odor
But the catties when pulled out
are of no use, as they can not be eaten,
their flesh being tainted by the vile and
undescribable odors of the waters they
inhabit.
A number OF people in the upper
end of town are interested in project
TO remove the catfish from the old
canal aud place them In the river,
where in process Of time their fesi
may become purified and fit to eat.
There seems to be only one way of
getting the fish out of the canal and
that is by seining the same. The part
les interested, however, remembering
the ,multifsrious provisions of the fish
laws are little ohary in the premises
and do not care to WELD the seine to
get the catfish without first having
some real good advice as to whether
or not the operation might carry with
it violation Of the law. 1t will prob.
ably be some time before anything is
done to remove the fish-if ever.
