The rain which fell in this region
during the early days of last week, rails
ed the streams above good fishing
height for the opening of the trout sea-
son on Thursday. A number of our
sportsmen went out, nevertheless, John
Theobald, Ed. Reichenbacker, Leonard
Guckenberger and A. A. Grambs start
ing on Wednesday evening in order to
be in time to give the presumably hun
cry fish an early breakfast after their
winters fast. They returned on Thurs
day evening with catch of sixty, all of
legal size but none sufficiently large to
furnish basis for very big story.
"Richey" thinks he would have done
better had it not been for the interfer-
ence of a rampageous bull, which dis
puted his right of way. He made a
swish at the vicious beast with his rod
and had the good luck to flick the hook
through the animals nose, whereat he
turned tail and galloped off, taking a
section of the line with him. Ed. says
he would have been willing to let him
have the pole too, if the brute had stop
ped to argue, and no other compromise
could be made.
Mrs. Amelia Bajus, daughter of
George Vanosdoll, whose farm is locat-
ed on Roots brook in Berlin township,
was the victim of serious runaway ac-
cident on Saturday afternoon last. She
was driving down south Erie street,
nearly opposite Tracyville, when her
horse took fright, and, running away
crashed over a bank near the residence
of Mrs. Garrett. Mrs. Baius was un-
conscious when lifted from the wreck,
and on regaining her senses was very
nervous and hysterical, and unable to
talk about the accident. DIR. Burns was
called, and it was found that her right
upper arm was broken in two places,
and her shoulder badly bruised. She
was taken into Mrs. Garrett's house,
and on Sunday afternoon on the advice
of the attending physician was taken to
DR.. Reed Burns's Hospital, in Scranton,
for treatment. Mrs. Cole accompanied
her. Mrs. Bajus is middle-aged lady.
