QUEER fONH IS IRONSPORT

The most remarkable town in
America, in some respects at least,
is to be found among the hills of
southern Ohio. 1t is Transport,
with 700 inhabitants, ten miles
east of GAINESVILLE.
The Ironsport postoffice was
closed October 81, because Joseph
Barney, the postmaster, said he
had not sold a single stamp in five
weeks nor had he received any in.
coming Or outgoing mails. The
people explain that they have no
friends to write to and that they
are all too busy to write anyhow.
There has not been an idle man
in Transport since 1909. The mines
are running full time and every
miner owns his own home. Some
time ago the police department
disbanded. the chief declaring
there had been no arrests made
within six months and that it is
only waste of public money to
keep salaried policemen.
The village records one fire in
two years and the damage then
was 5000.
A recent census showed that the
population is composed of 637
Irishmen, II Welshmep and So Ger
mans. Until October IL there
were only IL men and women in
transport who had mo church.
A GAINESVILLE priest recently report.
ed that he had succeeded in con-
verting these II persons.
The school teachers of Transport
children are unusually p. bright,
owing to the moral influence of
the town. Not since a circus
visited Ironsport three years ago
has there been person seen on
the streets so late :as midnight
The Rosary.

mad with thirst, had evidently at

there was a great decrease in their

DEFECTIVE PIN LOSES S1785

Mrs. Chas. Baranda, af Bakers
field, reposed faith in a safety pin
yesterday and as a consequence is
mourning the loss of $1785, all on
account of defective pin, which
refus d TO work and allowed a
huge roll of greenbacks to fall to
the street, unnoticed by the owner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baranda arrived
from Bakersfield last week and
secured apartments at the Golden
Eagle hotel. Saturday Mrs. Baranda
cashed money order at the Wells
Fargo Office and secured in lieu Of
the certificate, $1785 in currency.
The currency was in two bills for
$500, seven 500 bills and $85 in
smaller bills. The money was
placed in the hotel safe as it was
after banking hours.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Baranda
secured the money from the safe,
placed it in a small bag which sh
pinned beneath her skirts. She
then visit the postoffice, depart
ment store and a cafe where she
breakfasted. When the banks
opened at 10 o'clock she visited
one of the local institutions and
made arrangements for depositing
the $l785. She reached for the
bag containing the currency and
discovered that it was missing. She
gave hysteriai scream and started
to faint. However, she promptly
recovered her composure and
started out to cover the trail she
had left during the morning.
The search was fruitless and later
in the day the woman appealed to
Chief of Police Hillhouse for aid
in recovering the money. The
police chief communicated the loss
to the members of his department,
but no information I'D be
secured as to the fate of the bag
containing the small fortune in
government currency.
Last evening Mrs. Baranda
offered reward of $500 for the
return of the money. Reno
