SMALL CHILDREN
IN PERIL

The fire department. Monday aft
ernoon was called out by small but
dangerous blaze, which occurred in
dwelling No. 202 West Mahoning
street, occupied by Charles Hillborn
During Monday afternoon while
her husband was at work, Mrs. Hill
born according to custom put her two
little children to bed for nap. About
three O'Clock while busy with her
household duties she heard the chill
dren crying.
There was a note of fright aud ter
ror in their cries. which induced her
to go up stairs at once to see what was
the matter. Her feelings can be i'm
agined when on entering the room she
found a clothes basket containing the
weeks wash in mass Of flames,
which had already communicated
with the woodwork of the room.
With rare persence OF mind after
getting the children out of the room
Mrs Hillborn rushed for bucket of
water, which she dashed upon the
burning clothes. 1t required several
bucketfuls of water to eXtinguish the
fire.
The news of the fire was telephoned
to the engine houses and the bells were
rung, in response to which there was a
general turnout of tiremen. The
Friendship and the Continental fire
companies both arrived at the scene OF
the fire. but their services were not
needed.
The house, which is owned by John
Hunt, was only slightly damaged. The
week wash, however, was Totally
ruined The feature ci the fire was the
deadly peril i'll which the two small
children were placed for short time.
How the fire originated is not known
The children are too small to give any
account of what might have taken
place in the room to cause the fire.

PLAYED TO
A STANDSTILL

Before large and enthusiastic crowd
at DeWitt's park ON Saturday the Dan
vile high school foot ball team played
the strong Berwick eleven to tie
score of 90. This is the same team
that two weeks ago defeated the locals
by score of 10.
The game was exciting from the
start The local boys. determined to
wipe out their defeat at Berwick s
hands in the former game, played an
aggressive game, time after time plac-
ing the leather within few yards of
their opponents goal, where unfortun-
ate fumbles prevented score.
Right halfback Daley was easily
the star of the game. He played a
strong game on defense and was re-
sponsible for most of DanviIe s gains,
several times tearing off ten yards
runs. In the first half an onside kick
by Price before being touched by any
player, rolled over the goal line where
Edmondson fell on the ball. Danville
lost sure touchdown. as according to
the rules of the game, if the ball had
been touched the score would have
counted. As it was touchback re-
suited.
For the remainder of the game the
ball seesawed back and forth, most of
the time being in Berwick 8 territory
The one unpleasant feature of the
game was the conduct of the crowd
which persistently forced It's way on
to the field greatly interfering with
the players.
Berwick played a clever kicking
game, their onside kicks heing we'll
placed and well handled and seldom
failed to gain after they had tried

The last day of October brought the
first snow of the season. Early Satur-

THE ORIGIN OF
FOREST Fires

What starts these forest fires? This
question has been asked over and over
again this summer by readers of the
accounts of the destructive fires which
have been raging in all parts of the
country.
Campers and locomotives. is the u.s.
ual answer. Many of the other things
which start blazes in the forest are
forgotten. 1t is true that perhaps one
half to three-fourths of the forest fires
do begin as result of the oarelessness
of some camper, or from sparks flying
from locomotives, but there are a num-
ber of things which set the woods
afire.
a complete report of forest fires on
the private forests of the country and
their causes is not kept by anyone
Uncle Sam, however, is most careful
to account for the damage done by the
blazes on his timberland under forest
administration aggregating about 1853
900, 600 acres, and each year the total
area burned over, the tim berland burn
ed over, the amount of timber destroy

WHERE DEER ARE
SHOT BY THOUSANDS

Irwin A. Snyder, landlord of the
City hotel, who. with H. s. Albright
Of Orwigsburg, returned home from a
hunting trip to Maine Friday night,
on Saturday in very entertaining
way gave an account of some expert
euces in the Pine Tree State -
The deer he said are very plentiful
although the hunting laws, as in this
State, are rigid, two deer constituting
the limit for one man.
Natural conditions up to the present
have not been very favorable for hunt
ing owing to the drought, which pre-
vailed in Maine as we'll as here, The
woods and bushes being dry the deer
could hear the hunters at a consider
able distance ana had good opportun-
ity of getting out OF the way. The
drought in Maine was broken about
the same time as here and since then
there has been rather too much rain
to make hunting agreeable.
Forest fires, too, were factors that
had to be reckonded with. The camp
at Cedar Lake where Mr.. Snyder was
domici!ed was surrounded by fire aud
things looked rather blue for awhile
Thousands of acres of valuable timber
were destroyed. The numerous fires

S32 deer had been shipped out of the

were shipped out of the State.
