Bass have been taking hold with a
vengeance in the past week or two, ac-
cording to reports. Gus B. Evans, who
was down from Endeavor, Monday, told
us of three days catch he and Frank
Witherell made at Trunkeyville eddy
last week that is almost staggering in its
proportions, the number being II, which
is just one under the limit. They kept
none under IL inches and had several
weighing upward of pounds each. We
are not doubling Gus word, which is
usually gilt edge, nevertheless there was
no evidence laid on the editorial table to
prove its correctness in this particular
instance.
With the decision to meet next year
at Tionesta. the District convention of the
W. X. G. closed its meeting at Bradford

come by Mrs. Pearl Little. Mrs. Char

The afternoon session opened at 2;30
o'clock and business of importance was
transacted. The Bradford Woman's Re-
lief Corps, No. l3. exemplfied the ritual
istic work. In the evening there was a
camp ire at G. A. X. hall at which there
we're vocal and instrumental solos, and

John Carlson, section foreman on the
Hickory Valley railroad, who was re-
Gently so seriously injured by being
thrown off the top of box car last Sat-
urday week, was obliged to submit to
the amputation of his right leg below the
knee, the operation being performed at
Emergency hospital, Warren, whittier he
had been taken following the accident.
Mr.. Carlson's escape from instant death
is little short of miraculous. He was
riding on top of freight car which was
attached to the head OF locomotive and
was being pushed at slow rate speed.
Carlson in some manner fell from the top
of the car, alighting across the track be-
tween the locomotive and the box car.
The engineer reversed and the wheels OF
the locomotive spun round and round,
The engine was going so slowly that
when the wheels came in contact with
the body it was showed ahead instead of
being crushed. AS it was he sustained a
| fracture of the skull, cuts and bruises on
the head, and his right foot and ankl
we're so badly crushed that amputation
was necessary, as above stated, in order
to save the mans life.
One of the very prettly appointed and
happy social functions of the season was
held at the pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
WILDER Decker Friday evening. 1t was a
birthday party for Miss Pearl Decker, one
of the popular young ladies ofCenterville,
who upon that date had reached her
eighteenth natal day. The gathering,
which was in the nature of a surprise TO
| Miss Pearl and on that account all the
more interesting, was attended by nearly
all the young people of the village, who
were delightfully."- entertained with music,
games and finely prepared supper. Mr..
and Mrs. Decker are among those
thoughtful and sensible people who be-
lieve that the lives ofyoung people should
be made as happy and as. full of sunshine
as possible, for all too soon the stern
realities of life will be upon them and the
free-from- care period will be forever past,
and so the Decker home is always open
to the young people who are ever royalty
entertained 1t was an evening to be
long remembered with pleasure,-Cen-
terville Cor, Titusvile Herald. The

Whig Hill, this county.
