FOR CREASY'S JOB.
Several Possible Columbia County Aspiranis

Democratic politicians and Re-
publicans as we'll are casting covet-
Gus eyes at the possible opening for
legislator new at the game to rep
resent Columbia county at Harris
burg. 1t seems to be fairly estab.
lished, although he has declined to
commit himself, that Farmer"
Greasy, who has held down the Job
OF Representative from this county
for many years, will shy his castor
at the Senotorial nomination.
There will be no dearth of timber
in the Democratic party should a
successor to Greasy in the Assembly
be wanted. Already the names
of various possibilities are being
brought forward, prominent among
whom are w. c. Johnston and Will
liam Chrisman, Bloomsbury attor-
neys; Charles Shaffer, of Berwick,
candidate for Associate Judge
two years ago, and Alexander G..
Jackson, Berwick attorney.

DANVlLLE DEFEATED.

One of the noisiest, most crowded,
well-played, and altogether salts
factory games that has been played
in Bloomsbury for years was that
of yesterday, when the Recreation
team met Danville in the much dis
cussed replayed game of July fifth,
which ended in a Bloomsbury vic
tory with score of 5-I.
The voluminous amount of su-
perheated atmosphere which has
been cast about over this contest
served to draw a recordbreaking
crowd to Recreation Field from all
parts of this county and from Mon
tour. The stand and bleachers were
full, and the field was well-nigh
surrounded with enthusiasts. Many
automobiles were on the ground.
The first and eighth innings were
the lucky ones for Bloomsbury, in
which two and three runs, respec-
lively, were made Danville scored
its single tally in the ninth, with
the assistance of carelessness on
the part of the locals.
Hine, the local pitcher, covered
himself with glory, striking out
thirteen men, and allowing only
four hits.
The locals banged out eleven
hits, one of the most spectacular of
which was that of Brogan il, the
eighth, when the bases were full,
bringing in three runs. Blooms
burg felded we'll, there being but
one error. Danville had two.
In view of past difficulties, the
game was a good one to win and
the fans were jubilant. 1t is 10 be
hoped that the contest has put an
end to iingoism.

| ana SduulereQ away toward Ked
! Rock, five miles distant.
Following a lonely road which
skirts the highlands, they reached
that little settlement, and turning
northward into the hills, wandered
two miles further to the foot of
Kitchen Creek
Now the Stroller had often been
told of this stream. Moreover, he
once knew man who had taken
pictures of it, so, with JOY and ex-
pectation in his heart, and kodak
in his hand, he approached its low
er reaches.
The ears of the wanderers were
greeted with rushing of water as
they neared the bridge under which
the torrent makes it's final leap. A
few steps below the road brought
them to the lower falls. Through
gorge, followed out through CEN
turies, the flocd leaped into foam
surrounded by perpendicular messy
walls and fern bedecked banks.
This first glimpse of the stream was
alone worth the journey.
But more natural beauties and
wild grandeur yet awaited the ram
blers. They began the ascent
through the glen by the mountain
path which follows the stream to
its source. Through shadowy
woods, penetrated in little spots by
the sunlight, over log bridges which
cross and recross the frolicking
water as it hurries over its rocky
bed, they climbed upward. A dis
tant comnotion of the water was
gradually intensified until it over
came the low nurmur of the quiet
er stretches as they neared the first
of the series of cascades which eX-
tend to the summit Of North Noun
tain. They gazed at it in silence.
Even the loquacious Billy was cast
ing around for words to express
his appreciation.
Pretty nice, eh ?" came the
query from behind them. Startled
by a voice in this solitude, they
turned and saw the warden of the
glen; a pleasant fellow, with SOM
brero, and a formidable looking
gun on his hip.
The trio then continued the as
cent, the warden giving interesting
information, and proving to be
very entertaining companion.
"Have cigar" asked the Stroll
er.
Thanks" said the warden, as
he pocketed the cigar and lighted
up his pipe.
Up the winding three miles of
magnificent wilderness they climb
ed; now along murmuring pool or
gently running reach of ripples;
now past a ninety foot cliff where
the water dashes in many stream
over the jagged rocks upon the face
of the precipice into the pools be-
low; now by series of rocky steps
over which the stream tumbles in
picturesque beauty; and at another
place past lofty shelf over which h |
the creek plunges in solid sheet,
pounding and swirling in the rocks
thirty feet below the brink.
The Stroller felt that, though |
much of praise had been bestowed
upon this scenic stream, much had
been left unsaid; the general public
knew too little about it, save for an
occasional picture postal card.
AS all good things must come to
an end, SO, at last, did the tails.
The party reached the top of the
mountain, where the warden bade
adieu to the other two, who contin-
ued their way around Lake Dodson.
They were thirsty. for Mine Host
had served them with very salty
fried ham for breakfast. The creek
water was colored by the bark of
the woods, and was undrinkable.

THE STROLLER.

Ihe Stroller was placidly pulling
his pipe at his desk, longing for
something to happen that would
furnish newspaper copy--either that
gold had been discovered on the
River Hill, or that som ebody had
been arrested for selling cigarettes
to minors, or that Bloomsbury had
moved to first place in the Susque-
hanna League, or something of this
unusual character with which a
few columns of reading matter
might be filled.
News was scarce. The genial
philosopher wrinkled his forehead,
tucked his feet in the waste basket,
and reflled his pipe. The Office
was warm and sultry. Slowly his
head dropped and his cares were
forgotten. He was dreaming Of
pleasant fields and hills and water
falls, when his pipe fell to the floor
and he awoke with a start.
The visions had proved to be his
salvation; he would go to the places
of which he had dreamed, and
spend a day or so in close proximi-
ty to nature. He remembered that
Billy Lansdowne had often asked
him to take hike to Kitchen
Creek. He lost no time in phoning
to that worthy.
One hour later found the two on
a northbound B. & S. train ell
route for Central, logged in khaki
and leggings.
''Howdy, gents quoth Mine
Host of the Central Park Hotel as
the Stroller and his friend entered
the Office OF that establishment.
Rooms for the night ? Yes, sir.
Brea kfast Oh, we have it at half
past five, but you can get it earlier
if you want to. "
While waiting for supper the
Stroller strolled out to look at the
village aud the country. He saun-
tered along the parched and dusty
road, and then wandered through
fields and among the rocks.
Hey sonny" he shouted to
rustic urchin, (Which way is Fish
ing Creek ?"
eyer standin' in the middle of it,
yuh blame fool" returned the boy.
Sure enough he was. A lot of
dry stones piled helter-skelter show
ed where there was once ripping
stream. The Stroller muttered
something about Jupiter Pluvius
not having been on the job lately,
and rambled back to supper.
After the evening meal, the viii
layers assembled along the road
the tavern and waxed ex-
cited over a game of quoits. Mine
Host sat on the porch and discours-
ed to his two guests on the respec-
tive merits of the contestants.
Darkness and the cool night air
brought dozen or so into the hotel
office, and our two friends found
part OF little group,
seated in wooden chairs tilted back
against the wall, all silently putting
their pipes, the smoke from which
Aoated lazily around the single coal
oil lamp.
Mine Host monopolized tue con-
versation and entertained the as
;emblage with interesting yarns.
When, after an hour. he lapsed into
silence, the Stroller, anxious that
he meeting should not pail, cast
about for a subject of conversation,
md, seeing a "MoXie" sign on the
vail, innocently inquired whether
t was kind of whiskey, which
how of ignorance so disgusted the
,ther listeners that he discreetly |
withdrew and went to bed.
The next morning Mine Host set
orth q good breakfast for the hik-
rs at five thirty, after which they |
,ade the genial landlord farewell,

COUNCIL WILL CHOOSE
 ATTORNEY TONIGHT

A special meeting of the city coun- ciI will be held this evening at the city hall for the purpose of choosing an attorney to serve the cit in the trial of the case brought against Bisbee by the Moore Fuel & Feed company for s5,600 damages.
 There is seemingly much doubt as to who the attorney to be chosen will be. several names being prominently mentioned. The inability of City At torney Fred Sutter to serve grows out of the fact that, while not en- gagged by the Moore company fin this action. he is their regular attorney.
 The suit is one which grows out of the rejection by the city of cement al leged to have been contracted for to be used in building the subway and retaining walls in the city. The fe- fusal of the cement followed the col lapse of large section of the subway wall, the blame for which was laid to defective cement by city officials.

WITNESS IN SULLIVAN
 TRIAL

Sheriff Anderson of Graham coun- ty, was in Bisbee yesterday to sub poena a witness wanted in Graham county next week to give testimony in the case of Rose and Roberts,
 charged with the murder of Con Sul- liyan in that county several months ago.
 Sullivan, who was formerly a resi- dent of Cochise county, was interest ed with Rose and Roberts in the raising of goats and had camp in the Galiaro Mountains. Some trouble arose between them and the body of Sullivan was found by Sheriff Ander- son and others about three days after he had been killed, the body being buried some distance from the cabin. Rose and Roberts disappeared about this time. Rose was afterward cap tured and released on bond, but Rob erts has not been apprehended, al- though Sheriff Anderson has spent considerable time in running down clues of his whereabouts and the County of Graham has offered a re- ward for his arrest and conviction. Attorney French. who will represent Rose, states that he knows the whereabouts of Roberts and that the latter twill be on hand at the time his case is set for trial, but Sheriff Anderson places but little faith in this statement and will continue to make an effort to spprehend him.
 A number of witnesses from Co- chise County will be compelled to go to Graham county to give testimony in the case, among them being one Richard Lockett, who was also inter- ested with Rose and Roberts in g. herd of goats, and who states that they tried on one or two occasions to put him out of the way, once by poisoning his coffee, which he dis covered before drinking, and another time by trying to get him to go up into the mountains with them,
 Sheriff Anderson is of the opinion that the territory will be able to pre- sent so strong chain Of circumstan- tial evidence against Rose that it win warrant a conviction. The outcome of the case will be watched with in terest as all of the parties have been residents of Cochise county, Sulli- van having resided in Btsbee for 1 number of years. while Rose and 1 Roberts were also residents for some ! time, in the vicinity Of Bisbee and 1 Pearce.
