Flames at Sunbury Destroy
Brewery, Loss over $15, 900

Sunbury, July 22.-Fire at 2:15
O'Clock this morning at the j. & A.
Moeschlin Brewery at Sixth and
Packer Streets here destroyed the
power plant and partically consum-
ed the ice house and old ferment-

The loss is not covered by insur-
ance as the policy carried by the
company had expired Saturday and
was to have been renewed today.
Frank Haughton, fireman, was
badly cut on the left wrist when
broken glass severed one of his art
cries. He was taken to the hospi-
tai.
The fire was discovered by the
night watchman in the boiler room
and an alarm was sent in to the
local department at about 2:3O
O'Clock, but owing to the alarm
system being out of order the de-
partment was misinformed of the
location of the fire and did not
reach the scene of the conf1agration
until nearly an hour when julius
Moeschlin, one of the proprietors
succeeded in reaching the depart
ment by telephone,
When the fireman finally arrived
the flames had such headway, de-
spite the fact that brewery en-
ployes had fought them with hose
kept for that purpose at the brew
cry, that the ice house, in which
the brewery made its own ice, was
entirely destroyed when a tank of
ammonia exploded, aiding the flames
in their work.
The plant will be rebuilt immedi-
ately.

SAVES HUSBAND FROM
WILD CAT

Lock Haven, July 10. Mrs.
Frank Watt, who, with her hus-
band, lives in the wilds of the
Kettle Creek county, eight miles
up the mountain from Westport,
Clinton county, is being acclaimed
a heroine as result of an adven-
ture in which she saved her hus-
bands life in hand-to-hand en-
counter which he had with huge
catamout in clearing in front of
their mountain home.
A party of Lock Haven Elks are
camping in tents a short distance
below the Watt cabin. Mr.. Watt.
familiarly known as "Pokey," has
been a frequent visitor to the tents
of the campers, He left camp about
dusk last night and shortly after
wards the campers were startled to
hear two reports of a rifle from up
the creek. Then came fusillade
which started the fishermen on a
run up stream.
AS the men came in sight of the
Watt home they saw Watt lacerat-
ed and bleeding, on his back.
Laying across his chest was a huge
catamount in it's death throes.
Mrs. Watt was found unconscious
on her door step with a Winchester
rifle clntched tightly in her hand.
The woman was the first to re-
cover. She said she had gone to
front door just in time to see the
animal spring from a tree as Watt
stepped into the clearing. She
seized the rifle and fired. The ball
struck the catamount, but with
cry OF rage and pain it renewed the
attack with increased fury. A
moment later she fired again, but
feeling her strength waning the
woman fired several shots wildly
in the air, hoping to summon help
from the Elks' camp. Then she
tainted. The second shot had en-
tered the eye of the catamount. A
messenger was dispatched to West
port for a physician who made the
trip up the mountain on horseback
and cauterized Watts wounds.

Johnson, a well known farmer of
Derry Church, Anthony township,
Montour county, died at the hos

he laid was lifted out at the hospital
it was plain that death was near.
He expired shortly after.
The trouble made itself known
about a month ago.
