SAVE FOUR LIVES
White Mills Fire Dept.
Does Heroic Work
EXPLOSION OF OIL STOVE
CAUSES FIERCE BLAZE IN
ELMBAD DWELLING.

Shortly after l O'Clock on Sunday
morning Mrs. Hunkle, who was visit
ing her son, Louis Elmbad, in White
Mills, was awakened by the odor of
burning wood. She rushed into the
hall and found that an oil stove used
for heating milk for an infant grand
daughter had exploded and set fire
to the wood work. Her screams
awakened her son and his wife whose
escape was prevented by the mass
of flffiames. Mr.. Elmbad cries for
assistance were heard by Mr.. Crist
who Immediately turned in the
alarm.
Within five minutes after the
alarm had sounded the White Mills
fire department had one engine and
the hook and ladder at the burning
building. The hall by this time was
roaring furnace and Mr.. Elmbad
and his family had to be taken out
through the windows. Owing to the
promptness of the men the fire was
confined to the hall and the value of
the chemical engine was thoroughly
tested.
The fire on Sunday morning was
the first in White Mills since or
ganization of the fire department.
Their perfect discipline and prompt
ness saved White Mills from a very
destructive fire. The people of the
town are highly elated over their
good showing and nothing but words
of praise can be heard on all sides.

AUTO IS WRECKED
Hartuns'S Machine, With
Lights Out, Hits Boulder
OCCUPANTS THROWN OUT, MAR
ROWLY ESCAPE DEATH;
RESCUED BY ANOTHER
MACHINE.

Trying to run his auto after the
electric lights had gone out, Friday
night, almost ended fatally to Fred
j. Hartung and his wife, when in
trying to get out of the way of an
approaching auto, the glare of whose
lights blinded him, the car dashed
into a large stone, throwing the oc-
cupants to the ground, and badly
wrecking the machine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hartung, who reside
in Paterson, N. j., where Mr.. Hart
ung is manager for Armour and Com
pany, were on their way here to
visit his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hartung, 1888 Main street, when the
unfortunate accident occurred. They
had almost reached Honesdale, and
were going along cautiously at the
right side of the road on the out
skirts of East Honesdale, when the
collision took place.
Mrs. Hartung was rendered uncon-
scious by the fall, and was badly
shaken up. Her husband escaped
with a few slight bruises.
An automobile owned by Charles
Dorflinger, White Mills, happening
along a little later took the injured
couple to the Hartung residence.
DR.. P. F.. Griffin was summoned, and
made his patients as comfortable as
possible.
The Maxwell "6O," the powerful
touring car in which they travelled,
was so badly damaged that it had to
be sent to the factory for repairs.
Their object in coming to Homes
dale was to visit his father here, and
on Sunday they intended going to
Scranton, to see his mother who has
been confined to a hospital suffering
from a broken arm received in a
runaway accident several weeks ago
near Seelyville. The arm which was
broken in the fleshy part for long
time baffled the attempts of the sur
geons to set it.
Mr.. Hartung left for Paterson, N.
j., sunday, and will return later in
the week.

people on the Upper Road will
say, What is it that smells so sweet?
1t must be Mrs. Forman's tree that
is opening 1t scents all around.
It's lovely tree. l think everything
of it,"
To reporter of The Citizen, who
wearily climbed the stone steps lead
ing from the foot of Fifth street up
to Cottage street, (and there are
just fifty-two of them in alD, on a
sultry Friday afternoon in May, to
see the only magnolia tree in Homes
dale, and the sole specimen in Wayne
county, Mrs. Forman's pride in pos
sessing such a lovely exotic plant
appeared perfectly pardonable.
He waited until four o'clock to
make his way to the hill region of
Honesdale, but even before he reach
ed vi Cottage street, the home of
Mrs. Isaac Forman, whose husband,
an honored veteran of the Civil war,
died less than year ago, the after
noon breezes waited to his nostrils
the exotic perfume of the blooming
southern rhododendron.
When the newspaperman made his
mission known, Mrs. Forman modest
ly told him all about the magnolia,
only lamenting the fact that the Sc
we're windstorm of the day before had
done considerable damage to the
tree.
The flowers, she explained, are
rather brittle. They are such a
sweet-scented flower when they open,
she said.
When asked how old the mag
nolia tree was?' she replied, that
this is the thirteenth year; but of
course it was such a little bit of a
thing for three years that l kept it
in the house.
"Mr. Forman," she continued,
" got it in Bloomsbury. He saw a
magnolia tree in bloom there, the
first one he ever saw, and he asked
if he couldn't have one of the buds,
and he jumped up and got a bud.
They're red when they're ripe, you
know. And he brought it home and
planted the seed and that's the only
one we ever could raise.
"Yes, l have seeds now, and a
good many want them if they can
only get them, but they're a pretty
hard thing to raise.
"They open after four o'clock. l
see one that's just opening now.
There are quite a good many COM
ing up tonight to see it. The fiow-
ers only last about four days after
they are plucked."
Mrs. Forman dropped her work,
and she is very busy woman, doing
much plain sewing such as aprons
and the like of that, to take the re-
porter out into her garden and give
him closer view of the tree.
''The tree will be beautiful" Mrs.
Forman rambled on, ''even this

STATE "DOCKS" WILSON
DURING WESTERN TOUR,

Governor Wilson's absence from
the state house, at Trenton, N. j.,
while swinging around the circle
campaigning for the Democratic nom
ination for the Presidency of the
United States has been taken notice
of by the state comptroller, and a
warrant for more than $500 has been
made out for Acting Governor Ernest
r. Ackerman giving to him that por-
tion of the governors salary earned
while the chief executive has been
away.
This is the first time the salary of
any Governor has been "docked," !"
but the state officials do not consid-
er that the governor is on a vacation,
but on personal business and there
fore the constitution sends to the
acting governor the salary as well as
all other powers.

Death of Eben T.. Sherwood.

Eben f. Sherwood, aged 21 years,
II months and 10 days, died last
Tuesday forenoon. He was born at
Equinunk, Pa, June 1S, 1889, and
was a son of the late William F.
Sherwood. He graduated from
Hancock High school in the class of
1908, and was one of the brightest
and most intellectual to graduate
from that institution in recent years.
His dominating ambition was to be-
come a lawyer, and with that end in
view he matriculated in Yale Law
school in the fall of 1908. But in
December, 1909, because of his old
ailment, diabetes, he was compelled
to leave school. During the sum-
mer of 1910, as his health permit
ted, he continued his studies in the
law Office of l.. G. Carpenter. Last
fall he entered the Albany Law
school, but was again obliged to re-
linquish his studies in December and
return to Hancock. In February
last he entered a sanitarium at Bat
tie Creek, Mich, for a course of
treatment. Apparently his condi-
tion seemed to improve, and he re-
turned home on May 5. He is sur
vived by his mother, Mrs. Elias
Van Steenburg, at whose home he
died, and one sister, Mrs. Marvin
Hall, Equinunk. The funeral SER
vice will be held in the Methodist
church Saturday forenoon at 10:45,
and his remains taken to Equinunk
for burial.

RUN AWAY TO THEIR STABLES.

To start the week off right the
large draying team of Caufield's s
Marble Works, decided to take a
little sprint on Monday morning
about 1880. They started at the
marble works and dashed up Main
street at break-neck speed, and turn
ed at Park continuing their course
up the thoroughfare until they
struck the heat belt whereat they
started a merry-go-round for a few
minutes and when at the entrance
to their stables slackened speed.
They were none the worse for their
early morning sprint.
