KILLED IN BRAWL
MIFFLINBURG, June l,


George w. Risltel, sixtyfye years
of age, was killed in the barroom of
the Commercial hotel last night, be-
tween . and 10 O'Clock, by Oliver
Strickler, a young farmer living two
miles southwest of this place. Rishel,
Strickler and Harold Barber were
drinking and the two younger men
began to tease Rishel. He finally be-
came augered and threw a cracker jar
at Barber and the tray at Strickler.
The latter, infuriated by the blow,
hit Rishel in the face with his fist,
knocking him down. In falling Rish-
els head struck the bar railing and
his skull was fractured, causing al
most instant death. Strickler and
Barber returned to their homes, but
this morning the former came here
and surrendered to the proper author
tiles. Mrs. Rishel is almost Frustrated
as result of thelshock.

OF JULY
OBSERVANCE

Fourth of July is very stealthily
advancing and it is hard to realize
that it is only little over two wee
distant.
Up to the present we have heard no
agitation as to safe and sane obser-
vance of Independence Day in Dan
vile; neither have arrangements
been made for any public demonstra-
tion. The day here in all probability
will be quiet enough.
Burgess Amesbury yesterday stated
that while no effort will be made to
curb the sale and discharge of fire.
works in Danville yet as on previous
years full observance of both the
State law and the borough ordinance
relating to firecrackers and various
other explosives will be rigidly in
sisted upon.
Burgess Amesbury heartily approves
of an observance of the Fourth along
fashioned lines as is being plan
ned in New York, Williamsport and
many other cities. The plans for
safe and sane Fourth generally pro-
vide historical exercises, carnivals,
parades and fireworks as source of
entertainment. In Williamsport it is
planned to hold band concerts in the
park morning afternoon and evening.
The evening concert will be an espec-
tally attractive one.
There is great deal in the scheme
proposed that should commend itself
to our citizens. An automobile par
ade, which is being arranged in some
towns for the evening of the Fourth,
especially appeals to Burgess Ames-
bury. There are some thirty automo-
biles in Montour county and no doubt
many auto owners from neighboring
localities would be glad to fall in
with such a parade, if they were in
vited. 1t would be novel and at
tractive feature, which could be got
ten up without expense in the short
interval between the present and In
dependence day. All that is needed
10 lOl OuS VI IiOlc tAlCl i)llSlIS ONh-
ers of motor-vehicles to take the init
iative; others will rapidly follow.
Another feature recommended by
the burgess is concert in the park
with an address by one or more of our
gifted orators. There might be music
by band or by chorus drilled for
the occasion. Danville has famous
singers and in the past when heard in
out door performances they earned
much applause.
The above are thrown ont as sug-
gestions. 1t remains for others, who
represent or are in touch with owners
of motor vehicles, the musicians, &c,
to take the matter up, if the PROPOSE
tion appeals TO the public and there is
any disposition 10 respond. 1t is quite
certain that, if we are to cut loose
from the noise and danger that has
generally characterized the observ-
ance of independence day in the past,
we shall be obliged to substitute other
features that will entertain and ap-
peal to the patriotism of the people.

LEAGUE MANAGERS MEET

\ meeting of the managers of the
Susquehanna league was held at the
Hotel Morton at Berwick yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, which had been
called at the instance of Alden to de-
eide whether or not the league would
continue to play two game week
schedule.
The meeting was attended by full
board, Assistant Manager Victor Vim
cent representing Danville. President
McCollum called the meeting to order
and stated the object After short
discussion it was moved that the two
game week schedule be continued
for the remainder of the season and
was carried, all but Benton and Alden
voting in favor.
After decision had been arrived at
Alden and Benton stated they would
be ruled by the will of the majority
and continue under present conditions
1t developed at the meeting that
there is very strong sentiment among
the managers of the larger towns of
the league in favor of increasing the
number of games to three or four a
week. The league games create more
interest than exhibition games, and
as most of the teams play three and
four games week with the exhibit
tion games included, they might as
we'll be league games. is the principal
argument offered in favor of the move
ment.

Diphtheria at Snydertown.

Snydertown is in the throes of an
epidemic of diphtheria and the resi-
dents are considerably alarmed over
the rapid spread of the disease. a
large supply of disinfectants was sent
there by the State but these became
exhausted Tuesday and it was neces-
sary to procure more at Sunbury,
pending the arrival of others from
the State. One child has already sue
cumbed to the disease while number
of others are seriously i'll.
