PLAYING HOOKY

The attendance officer has plenty to
do these autumn days. Some of the
boys-even very small ones-find it
impossible to resist the lure of the
fields and in playing hooky they won
der so far away that the officer can
not get on the trail of them.
1t is no uncommon thing for half
a dozen boys and upwards TO be out of
school at one time at this season, and
it is up to the truant officer to round
them up and deliver them over to the
teacher, who by "precept and examp-
le" is expected TO teach them that tru
ancy is improbable.
Yesterday officer Young brought III
four or five truants, but two little
fellows, Pupils of the primary schools
eluded him, and the officer after a
hard days work had TO acknowledge
himself beaten. There was no trace of
the boys about the borough; neither
had anyone seen them leave town, al
though it is not improbable that they
were in the woods.

SHORT SESSION
OF SCHOOL BOARD

The school board held a short session
Monday night, with W. A. Sechler in
the chair. Among other members pres.
ent were: Messrs Orth, Swarts, Marks,
Shultz. Pursel, Fischer, Heiss, Cole
and Sidler.
4 communication was received from
Chief Engineer Snow of the State de-
partment of health in reply to an in
quiry from Secretary Orth as to the
sdvisability of sinking wells on the
school grounds. Pursuant to action of
the school board at its last meeting
the secretary wrote the department,
explaining that the borough water
supply is not always pure-that at
times it is so impure that in order to
safeguard the health of the pupils the
board causes the water to be boiled /;
also that in order to procure pure wat
er for the schools the board was CON
sidering the advisability of boring
wells on the school ground to be
a hunrded feet or more in depth. The
object of writing was to determine
whether the State department of health
would approve of the wells as source
of pure water
Chief Engineer Snow in his reply
explained that deep-drilled wells prop
rely protected from surface drainage
make an excellent supply of water but
according to his idea such wells should
not be necessary when a borough is
supporting a filtration plant.
Chief Engineer Snow advised the
school board that the department on
that date was writing the borough
authorities of Danville regarding the
condition of the filtration plant,
(Which is well understood by the de-
partment of health and has been look
ed into at various times.
The department will make analysis
of water from wells, if they be dug,
free OF charge. The water must be col
lected in outfits furnished by the de-
partment.
The following bills were approved

FOUR BRIDGES
THROWN OPEN

The three new bridges, at Boone's.
Watts and Bitler's, respectively. just
completed by the Owego Bridge Go.
were inspected by the county commits
sioners Tuesday; they were approved
and Immediately thrown open to
travel.
The full board of commissioner
Sechler, Ryan and Coleman-along
with J. NJ. Whitley, the company's
representative, was present at the in
spection. Like the larger bridge over
the Chillisquaque at Kelly's ccmplet-
ed by the Owego Bridge company
about a month ago. each of the new
structures was found to come fully up
to specifications. A settlement was
made with contracting firm yesterday
The bridge at Watts farm is AZ feet
long; the one at Boone's is 80 feet and
the one at Bitler's "a feet Each
bridge is fifteen feet wide and has a
concrete floor.
Montour county is in the bridge
building business on an extensive
scale. This will appear Jail the more
evident when it is explained that dur
ing two years past eleven steel struct-
ures have been constructed taking the
places of the small wooden bridges,
which had become unsafe. OF the new
structures the Owego Bridge company
built seven. The others were con-
structed by the Nelson Merydith COM
pany and the United Construction
company.
The wooden structures are rapidly
yielding to decay and from now on
each year several will have to be re-
placed with steel structures. Three of
these primitive bridges are marked for
demolition during the coming year.
The most important one is the Dietfen-
bacher bridge over the Chillisquaque
creek near Blue Springs farm, which
is an old land mark, built prior to the
date when Montour county was estab-
Iished. The oldest residents seem to
have no traditions as to when or by
whom the bridge was built All
argee, however, that it is very old and
was built probably a hundred years
ago.
The timbers were hewn with the
axe. and the bridge throughout is well
constructed 1t might have met all re-
quirements for some years to come had
not the abutments given way. The
walls are found to be in such bad
condition as to render the bridge un-
safe for heavy hauling. Today notices
will be posted warning persons against
venturing on the bridge with heavy
loads. Traction engines, especially,
will be excluded.
Among the other bridges to be re-
placed during next year will be the
covered bridge -parung Mud run on
the Danyille road near Washington-
Vile, also veIv old structure. The
third bridge to replaced is the one at
Leidy's.

Call of the Wild.

In presenting Louis Evan Shipman'
admirable play to the public, the
managers of the Danville opera house
feel thew have been endowed with an
especial privilege, so great has been
the success of the production and so
unqualified the approval it has en-
countered Today 1.-The Call of the
Wild stands without pere among
what may be called strong emotional
dramas, and it is extremely doubtful
if in many years stronger, more

on the stage than this fascination
picture of Western life. In proof of

which the play has been witnessed by
more than ZOO, 600 persons. The entire
scenic equipment is new and the cast
which is headed by Mr. Franklin
Woodruff is one of the strongest that
could be secured for the various parts.

He was working man, and few still
survive that were employed with him
on various jobs.
His commitment shows that he was
adjudged insane as the result of an
alleged assault He was committed to
the hospital just two months after the

tion of patients, January 6, 1878. He

COURT HELD
BRIEF SESSION

Court held short session Saturday
morning with President Judge 9. c.
Evans and Associates Blee and Welliv-
! er on the bench. Several important
, matters were disposed of
When the jury returned verdict
for the defendant in the case of John
G. Zauer VS.. the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway company, Wednes-
day Edward $ Gearhart, counsel for
the plaintiff, moved in arrest of judg-
ment and for new trial, reasons to be
filed in ten days. On Saturday Mr..
Gearhart addressed the court, explain
ing that after consideration the plain
tiff had decided to abide by the verdi
let as rendered. Accordingly the rule
was discharged
In re the petition of John ]. Ellis,
late of Anthony township, praying for
a rule upon executor to show cause
why 500 should not be advanced to
him in accordance with the provisions
of will, the rule as prayed for was
granted by the court, returnable at
next term.
In re. Com. VS.. VIM Wintersteen,
a habeas corpus proceeding, the court
handed down an opinion.
The writ was issued for the purpose
of obtaining the custody Of Myrtle
Appleman, now about six years of
age, at the instance of the father,
Clyde Appleman.
The opinion sets forth that Myrtle
has good Christian home and that
she will grow up surrounded by Christ
ian influences. Her grand parents are
abundantly able to provide for their
grand children financially.
At the same time, if the custody of
Mrytle were given to the father, Clyde
b. Appleman, she likewise would lave
IA good Christian home surrounded by
Christian influences.
1.-The general rule is that father
has the legal right to the custody of
his infant child; but in contests be-
tween the father and third parties the
courts regard the interests of the child
as superior to the legal right of the
father and this is especially true when
by reason of the tender age Of the
child and other circumstances it would
be for the best interest and welfare
of the child to remain where it is.
And now, October %, 1910, it is
ordered that the custody of the child,
Myrtle Appleman. be remanded to
William WintersteeE, the respondent.
And it is further ordered that the
father, Clyde Appleman and the grand
father, and members of the grand ia
theirs family, on the fathers side,
shall be permitted to visit with and
see Myrtle Appleman at the home of
the respondent at least once every two
weeks at suitable times in the day
time or the evening up until s O'Clock
until further order of the court. The
petitioner and the respondent each to
pay half of the record costs, neither
the petitioner nor respondent TO file a
bill of costs for witnesses.
