Woman
Charged With Bigarny
Information Made By Blind
Husband She Is Alleged
To Have Left.
SECOND HUSBAND ARRESTED

A sensation was created in Reynolds
vile Monday afternoon by the arrest
of William Lee and Minerva Shingle-
decker on charge of unlawful cohabi-
tatiou and bigamy, respectively. The
information was made by James
Shingledecker, of West Reynoldsville,
who claims to be lawful husband of the
women, before Squire P. B. Love and
after hearing in that court both Lee
and his pseudo wife were bound over
to court; and In default OF bail were
taken to Brookville Jail the same day.
Their case will come up at the Novem-
ber term OF court.
James Shingledecker and his wife
we're we'll known characters of the
west side for many years. They lived
in apparent happiness until Mr..
Shingledecker became blind and it
devolved upon the wife to support the
family. She tired Of that and repeated
ly attempted to secure divorce in
the jefferson county court, but without
success. A few months ago she ap-
peared before the prothonotary at
Brookville, giving her maiden name
and was granted license to marry
William Lee, the ceremony being per-
formed by Squire AL Barr In Brook
vile soon after. Mrs. Shingledecker
claimed that divorce had been
granted her from her blind husband
of earlier days and that she was free
to marry whom she pleased. AS there
is no record of such divorce on the
court records of Jefferson county, her
husband has made the charge OF bigamy
against her.

West Side School
Building a Model
New Structure Wins Praise
rom All.

Work on the West Reynoldsvile
public school building is progressing
rapidly and barring unforeseen accidents
1t will be finished in time to allow
opening the schools about October 1st.
Since commencing the work of erection
not single hours time has been lost
on account OF bad weather and as the
brick work on the second story is now
almost completed, it will be but few
days until the structure will be under
Roof and the interior finishing may pro-
ceed regardless of climatic conditions.
In planning the building the board
of directors aimed to secure for the
youths of their borough the very best
that can be had and also had in mind
the possibility Of future enlargement.
1t Is so designed that an addition of
almost equal size to the original can
be made without marring the general
proportions. The architectural design
is modern and pleasing to the eye, the
great arched doorways and carefully
planned detail work presenting very
graceful effect. The inside partitions
are all built of solid brick, making the
structure practically fire proof. The
outside or face brick used in the struc-
ture are the new "Velvet Brick" of the
Reynoldsville Brick and Tile Company
and represent one OF the most up.to-
date pieces of brick work in this Sec
tion Of the state and in general effect
is surpassed by none. The base Of the
building is constructed Of dark flashed
"velvets" laid in black mortar. This
work is separated from the main por-
tion Of the building by a pelt course
Of white stone. The upper part Of the
structure is built Of deep red velvet"
stretcher, laid Flemish bond with black
headers and. raked joints. The class
OF architecture and manner OF laying
the brick gives an exceptional massive
ness and appearance Of strength to
the entire building.
The plans for the building we're
drawn by A. L. Lukehsrt, Of Falls

There will be bands, innumerable,
including the famous McKeesport F.
o. E. organization, fireworks, reunions
OF three Civil War regiments, jefferson
County Bar, Medical, Editorial and
Dental associations, and local Alumni
association, etc. The athletic events
OF the week will include baseball games
every day, Marathan races, foot races,
firemen's races and so on. Fifteen fire
companies have promised to be on hand
for the celebration, and thousands of
members OF fraternal organizations
from various parts OF Western Pennsyl-
vania have siguified their intention of
being here. In fact the original slogan,
biggest time in Western Pennsyl-
vania," will be fulfilled in its broad
est meaning.
A feature of the decorative scheme
is the electrical display, upon which
a thousand dollars will be expended.
The plaza, in the heart of the town
will be turned into court of honor,
and thousands OF incandescent electric
lights will make the night almost as

Mines at Rossiter
Resume Work
Eriton Mines VIII Also Run
Six Days a Week From
Now On.

After having been idle for six weeks,
the miners at Rossiter this morning
were greeted with the familiar toot .ol
a whistle (which means a'report for
work"
True, there was employment for only
about eco men who formerly worked in
Mine No. l, and the miners are not
promised anything like full time to
begin with, but both the company and
the men are hopeful that conditions
will grow better rapidly.
The men are going back at the rate
stipulated in the 1909 agreement, and
the management for the time being
will be in charge of Mr.. Shillingford,
general manager of the Cambria and
Clearield coal and iron companies in
terests.-Punxsutawney Spirit.
Many of the other mines of the j, &
@, G. Il |. Co. in this district are now
operating four and five days week as
compared to one and three month ago.
Beginning next week the Eriton
shaft, an operation that has only been
working three and four days for the
past several weeks, will begin working
the full week of six days. This oper-
alton mines coal for the Erie railroad
and the orders to work six days in a
week is certain indication that the
traffic on that system is getting heav-
Ter. This news of complete resump-
tion will be most pleasing to the 800
men employed at the shaft.

Twenty thousand dollars Ct
the $25,000 bond issue author
lied by the Star Glass Com
pany Of Reynoldsville to pro-
vide operating expenses for the
new Colburn machine has
been subscribed. This is the
statement A. t. Mcclure,
manager Of the plant made
last evening Immediately after
his return from Franklin,
where he received substantial
encouragement from the Col
burn people.
This means that a great
part of the amount subscribed
is now due and payable and
that but five thousand dollars
remains to be subscribed to en-
sure actual operation of the
Reynoldsville plant. With the
encouragement received dur
ing the last few days there is
confident hope that the re-
mainder will be secured with
in the next few days and that
the fires in the tank of the
Reynoldsvil1e 0p1ant will be
lighted within another week,
and that the greatest invention
Of the twentieth century will

D. F. Deiner Was One Of The
Wealthiest Farmers in JEFF
ferson County.
DROWNEDEHlMSELF IN POND
tits Supposed that Worry Over
Criticism Of his Management
Of the Telephone Company
Affairs Deranged his Mind.

= D. F. Deiner, one OF the wealthiest
farmers of Jefferson county and mana.
ger Of the Red Bank Telephone Com
pany, acting in which capacity he was
frequent visitor in Reynoldsville,
committed suicide Thursday morning
by drowning himself in fish pond.
He arose at 500 a. m. and without
speaking to anyone went to the pond
on his farm. Discovery Of the body
was made four hours later.
Aside from noting the fact that her
husband had not slept much during the
night, and that recently he had been
worrying considerably about the future
Of the telephone company, none of the
family had the slightest suspicion
aroused, says the Punxsutawney Spirit.
When at seven o'clock Mr.. Deiner
did not return for breakfast search
was instituted. The neighbors were
also notified, and the fact of his alb
sench created much alarm in the
ueighborhood.
AT about 8 o'clock George Deiner,
the eldest son, came upon his fathers
trousers and coat lying on the bank
of fish pond back Of the barn. The
telltale garments proved to be a correct
clue, for moment later, with the
assistance OF neighbors, the lifeless
body was dragged from about four feet
of water.
Mr.. Deiner had not removed any
other OF his clothes but his coat. nat
and trousers, and lett no note or missive
in explanation OF his rash act.
Mr.. Deiner's untimely death was an
enigma, as his own financial affairs
were in excellent condition, his family
relations were ideal, and he had recent
'ly succeeded in paying off all obliga-
tions of the Red Bank Company.
Criticism OF some of his policies are
said to have caused him to worry.
Mr.. Deiner, until few years ago
was a prosperous farmer and dairyman.
He sold the dairy, but invested in
southern timber lands that turned out
most profitable. He also owned good
farms near Brookville, the one on
which he resided, which is located near
e. B. Henderson's farm on the Brook
vile and Clarion pike, being considered
one OF the most valuable in the county.
Recently he sold a farm for 50, 800 and
is said to have maintained large bank
balance at all times.
The deceased, who was so years
old, is survived by widow, two sons
and two daughters, namely: George,
aged 10, Harry, aged. Is, and Mrs.
Walter Hopkins, OF Knoxdale, and
Misses Laura, Mary and Sarah, at
home. He is. also survived by two
brothers, Nathan, Of Brookville, Rev.
George Deiner, German Lutheran
divine, and one sister, Mrs. Clark Aver
i'll, of Brookville.

Sykes Wooden Mill !
Crowded By Orders
A Local Industry Is Getting Its
Share Of the Oncoming
Wave Of Prosperity.

The Sykes Wooden Mill, which proved
itself one of the most valuable of the
local industrial plants during the last
few years of depression, continues to
operate almost full capacity and it is
said that orders for worsteds, ladies'
dress goods and woolen goods in general
have been received in volume sufficient
to guarantee operation at present ca
pacity for fully six months to come.
There are now working under Boss
Weaver Andrew Greychak twenty
weavers at as many looms and it is ex-
pected that in the near future four
more looms will be put in operation,
making total OF tweny-four. In the
entire mill seventy-eight people are
given employment at good wages and
the money thus placed in circulation is
a material factor in maintaining local
prosperity.
Under Superintendent Walter r.
Reed the mill has been producing line
OF cassimeres and worsteds that has
met with gratifying success. The SAM
Piles sent out have brought in contn-
uous stream OF orders from large city
houses and it is probable that the or
ders will increase in volume with the
return Of normal business prosperity
throughout the country.
Not only has the mill been profitable
to the people Of Reynoldsville through
the employment afforded, but through
excellent business management is said
to yield handsome returnj on the in
vestment to its owners.
