SANTA IN EVIDENCE
Saturdays Trade in Oskal0Osa
Was Immense.

Holiday business, generally, has
exceeded not only the expectations of
local merchandising firms, but up TO
Saturday night it had surpassed the
best records of the preceding year.
Some of the merchants declare that
their total business has gone beyond
any previous mark. Orders for hol-
iday goods have been supplemented
and in many instances duplicated by
wire and express, to meet the de-
mands of the trade.
Saturday of 1911 was the last bust
ness date preceding Christmas, as the
holiday fell on Monday. Leap year,
1912, with the additional date in Feb
ruary, throws the festival two days
later, or on Wednesday, with Mon.
day and Tuesday, two business days,
,, intervening the basis of comparison
| Without regard to this fact, how
ever, it is generally stated by Oska-
lOOSa business men that Saturdays
business and that of the holiday
season taken as a whole, has been in
excess of that of last year, and in
numerous instances merchants have
stated that the volume of business,
cash and credit, has been larger than
in many years. Some have estab,
flashed new sales records for their
places. The business of the city, up
to Saturday, has been of most sat,
isfactory character and has gone be.
yond anticipation.
Complaint was heard Saturday that
1.-The crowd in town was smaller than
that of the preceding year. This
tmayhaVe- beeH-trHe, in a measure
and is accounted for by the fact
that in many lines of business Sat
urday, Dec. %, 1911, was the last
day for the purchasing of numerous
lines of merchandise, and the people
had no other day upon which to
make late holiday purchases. This
year there are two more days for
the work to be done. Several of the
business houses report that they
were so crowded Saturday that they
could not care for the trade and bus.

Natural Gas Discovered.

New Market, Dec. 23.-The discov.
cry of natural gas on the farm of l..
L. O'Dell, near here, and interest is
at high pitch over the possibilities.
Coming upon the heels of the investi.
cation into the oil underlying this vi
entity, 1t has increased the belief of
the public that marketable quantities
of oil and possibly gas underlying this
section of the state.
A well was being put down on the
ODell farm and the bore had reached
a depth of about thirty-five feet where
the workmen discovered an odor OF
gas. Mr.. O'Dell, wishing to make sure
lighted match and dropped it into
the well.
The results were rather more than
he expected, for the explosion that fol-
owed sent sheet of flame above the
ground and burned the whiskers of
the face of Mr. O'Dell, who could not
get away from the whole quick
enough to escape the blast.
The, gas in the well keeps the water
boiling and seething like huge kettle
and the noise Of the explosions which
follow dropping lighted matches into
the hole jar the ground for consid-
cradle distance about the well.

HICKEY IS CONVICTED
SLAYER OF JosEPHs coy, Es-
cAPEs pEATH CHAIR.
- Found Guilty Of Second Degree
d. Murder--maS Be Tried for g..
kruck Lad Killing. ..

Buffalo, N. Y. Dec. .23.--After TWEEN.
ty'six hours Of deliberation the jury
in the case Of ]. Frank Hickey, on
trial for the murder Of seven year.old
Joseph Josephs OF Lackawanna DC.
tober IL, 1911, brought In a verdict
OF murder in the second degree.
Thirteen ballots were taken to de-
eide Hickey's fate.
At Hickey's request the imposition
Of sentence was deferred. The pen.
atty is not less than twenty years at
hard labor in state prison. ....
Hickey, after buying candy for
young Josephs, enticed him to build
ing, strangled him and hurled his
body into a cess pool. A countrywide
search OF more than a year failed to
afford any clue as to the boys fate.
Recently the police received q
series Of postal cards. telling in de.
tail of the crime. These cards led to
the recovery of the body and the ar
rest of Hickey at an mebriate colony
at Whiting, N. j. He made con
fession, admitting at the same time
the killing of Edward Morey In
Lowell, Mass, in 1883, by giving him
poisoned whisky, and the stranglins
to death Of Michael Kruck, a New
York newsboy, in Central park, De
cember 10, 1902.
Judge Brown, in discharging the
jury, said it was extremely to be re
0rattpd that uatioo opitld mt he dom
the defendant. The public and the
court do not feel satisfied with this
result" ...
Public indignation at the outcome
OF the case is intense, and in legal
circles the possibility of having
Hickey tried for the murder OF the
Kruck boy is being discussed ...

SUNDAY day OF FIRES
Mrs. Buford's Millinery Stock is
Totally Destroyed.

Fire yesterday Sunday afternoon
about 1890 completely destroyed the
millinery stock of Mrs. M. Buford,
ZIG First avenue east. Mrs. Buford
had been moving some of her house
hold furniture into the place and had
been burning the trash in stove.
She left the place for few minutes
and on returning all was afire inside.
IShe called the department and when
it arrived it was beyond control The
building itself was not damaged to
any great extent, but the complete
stroyed, the water spelling every
thing that the fire did not, touch.
The household goods in the back part
of the place were thoroughly soaked
and spoiled. $4,000 insurance was
carried on the contents of the build
ing but this will pay for only small
part of the damage.
- - -
The r. }. HORNE property, 40
North Third street, had a narrow es-
cape from complete destruction from
| fire Sunday morning about half past
eight o'clock. The roof caught fire
from a defective fiue and when dis
covered it was blazing strongly and
had a very good start. The fire
department was called and succeeded
in getting the fire under control only
after it had burned quite a section OF
the roof. The loss will probably be
| in the neighborhood of $4,000, which
is fully covered by insurance. A
great deal of damage was done by
water
- - -
The George Ries property, $40 A
avenue west, also had a close call
Sunday afternoon from a like cause.
The roof of the kitchen caught fire
I from the fiue but ii was discovered
by the neighbors and put out before
it got a good start, few buckets of
water doing the business.
! -;-.-:- -
The Silas Allbaugh residence in
University Park had quite a bit OF
the roof burned off Sunday morning
between eleven and twelve o'clock
THE origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is thought that possibly it was
caught from spark falling on the
roof The family was at church at
the time and the fire was not dis
covered until it had gained quite a
lheadway. The men gathered to.
gether and by the use of chemical
machines and their bucket brigade,
the fire was soon put out. The
damages will probably exceed 500
1t is not known whether the house is
insured or not, as S. T. Vasey, who
owns the house, is now living in
Wisconsin.
- =. -
Fire at the Ben Hoover home about
a mile west of the Bloomfield church.
southeast ofsthe city, did considerable
damage to the residence this Mon
day morning. Prompt action and
lgood fortune saved the house from to
stal destruction. The fire had goot
lstart when discovered, but activity
on the part of the help at hand which
made quick and determined fight
Terminated the blaze.

A still alarm was turned into the
department Saturday afternoon fol-
the fair grounds. The grass on the
north side of the race track was
Hong and dry and in some manner
got afire. Chief McCracken with one
of the men went out and helped the
boys out there put the fire out. Part
of the fence had got to burning also
