hill opposite town Friday evening, with
out doing any serious damage. Fires
supposed to have been caused by sparks
from locomotives did considerable dam
age Friday afternoon at various points
along the river. A fire that burned
through the woods from Walnut Bend to
Henrys Bend destroyed a lot of oil lease
property. The Oleopolis school house
was in the path of the flames and was
partially burned. A little girl pupil was
painfully burned. She became panic
stricken and ran through the flames that
encircled the building. Her light dress
caught fire but the older children ran tc
her and tore off her burning garment be-
fore she had been seriously injured. The
Trax lease lost II small tanks and
power house. The Hilton lease tank,
drilling cable and lumber. The Henrys
Bend Oil Co. lost some oil and derricks. |
"A paper was circulated and signed by |
practically every property owner or resi-
dent on Elm and Bridge streets in this
borough, last week, each of the signers |
agreeing to keep his or her half of the
paved street clean during the summer.
The agreement recites that the cleaning |
process is to take place each Saturday |
morning from the first Saturday in April |
to the last Saturday in October. This is
fine move and if religiously observed by
all will give us beautiful streets and a
town to which we can point with pride.
If by chance any resident did not get his
name on the paper, he will be counted in
on the scheme just the same. 1t is not
intended that the agreement should take
effect at once on the newly paved portion
of Elm street in the lower part of town,
as it is well known that the sand which
was placed on the pavement last fall was
wet and has not yet properly filled the
iuterstices between the bricks.
A Happy Social Event.
