terry was issued yesterday afternoon,
appeared before Judge Webster late
in the afternoon, and, upon being ar
raigned, pleaded not guilty. 1t had
been intended to set the case for
hearing today, but, owing to the fact
that the district attorney is busy now
with trials in the circuit court, the
case was postponed until such time
as he might be able 10 reach 1t.
Yoder is the principal of the
Woodburn high school. His offense
is alleged to consist in prevailing up
on Ledia Shamback, a 14-year-old
girl, to come to his private Office,
under the pretext Of desiring to talk
to her about her school work, and,
upon getting her inside, in taking
liberties with her by embracing and
Caressing her.
The complaint was made by the
father of the girl.

TRACTOR
KEHRBERGER
A LIVE WIRE

One street contractor is pushing
things, and deserves credit for being
alive and onto his job, and that is no
less than August Kehrberger. He
has D big gang of men at work on
Asylum avenue putting in the curbs,
and another gang excavating on
South Commercial street. The steam
traction roller is pulling a steel plow
through the hardpan, teams are haul
ing away the surplus dirt, and men
are grading down the street, getting
ready to put on the concrete. On
Mission street Gus is helping out the
city putting in a concrete bridge or
two, and his big cement machine is at
work with another gang of men.
Three gangs of men under one con-
tractor D. more life and activity than
we are accustomed to at Salem, and
Gus deserves credit for not being one
of the dead ones. His German blood
circulates and he puts steam into
whatever he undertakes. He treats
his workmen right and is a level
headed business man besides being
a liye-and-let-live kind of a citizen.

the impression that the charm of
the production is chiefly musical. But
such is not the case, as will be OBJ
served when this big musical success
appears at the Grand opera house on
Saturday, April s, The fact is that
the mirth qualities of the piece are
just as attractive as its music, and
to further add to its excellence, 1t

Scranton, Pa, April death by

Throop, Pa, when fire broke out to-
day. Though every effort has been
made to save those imprisoned in the

smoke and gases that rescue parties

they fear that blackdamp and the
poisonous smoke and gases from the
fire may have already overcome the
entombed men.
Headed by Superintendent Birtley,

of shaft where the men are believed
to be imprisoned This shaft is
choked with debris and it will be

Equipped with oxygen helmets,

AT late hour this afternoon it was
reported that several cars in the mine
had caught fire and water Is being
pumped into the main shaft in an eff
fort to extingulsh the blaze
At 4 o'clock this afternoon four
government experts, aided by eight
members of the Lackawanna rescue
crew, penetrated the shaft and res
cued Joseph Vickers, a fire boss. He
was unconscious.
Mine officials stated that there was
still chance of the others being
alive, as air was being pumped down
the shaft.
officials say that the fire started
from waste left in the engine room.
The entombed men are 700 feet be-
low the surface.
Late this afternoon officials stated
that it was impossible to say just
how many men were in the mine when
the fire broke out but 46 was believed
to be a conservative estimate.
