INJURED BOY GETS
S4, 1850, FATHER $3.50
Lad Was Dragged Under Car
Wheels at Plant of Ameri-
can Car Company

Bloomsbury, Nov. 15.-The jury
in the United States court, sitting
at Scranton, who at II o'clock yes
terday morning took the case of
Walter Bird, Jr., and Walter Bird,
ST., his father, against the Ameri-
con Car and Foundry Company,
returned a verdict yesterday after
noon at O'Clock in favor of the
plaintiffs in the sum of $4,000,
81, $50 of which is for the boy and
$3.50 the compensation for the par
ents. The Birds were suing to re-
cover $50, 900 damage.
The victim presented a pathetic
picture with his left arm gone at
the shoulder and his right side,
along the hip and leg, almost torn
to the bone. The wounds were
protected by skin that had been
grated from two small sisters of
the injured boy.
A dozen or more employees of
the shops of the company in Ber-
wick were witnesses in the case on
Wednesday. The plaintiff con-
tended that the company was neg
ligent in that an air pipe that car
ried power for riveting machines
was set close to a railroad track in
the shop, and that Bird while push
ing car had his foot caught be-
tween the rail and the pipe and
was dragged under the car wheels.
A section of the rail with the air
pipes and valves attached, was ex-
hibited in court.

NORMAN P. HILL
FATALLY SHOT BY
SAMUEL A. KEAGLE
Died While Being Taken to the
Hospital in the Police
Ambulance
SHOOTING OCCURRED IN
HILLS OFFICE AT
WILLIAMSPORT

Norman Hill, aged forty-seven
years, a book-keeper in the veter-
mary of Sheriff William T. Tom
linson, corner Church and State
streets, Williamsport, was fatally
shot by Samuel A. Keagle, other
wise known as Baldy Keagle, who
lives in room at No. 36 East
Third street, Monday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
Keagle's bullet penetrated Hills
left breast near the heart. Hill
died on the way to the Williams
port hospital. The shooting took
place on the street in front of the
sheriff's Office.
The shooting grew out of Keag-
les being ordered from the veter-
mary office by Hill, who became
tired of Keagle, who was said to
be under the influence of liquor.
In the scramble to get Keagle out
Hill went along and then Keagle
drew a thirty-two caliber revolver
and fired at Hill at a distance of
only few feet.
Hill fell and Keagle, who was
armed with a revolver and rifle.
disappeared from the vicinity. A
brother of DR.. Edward Lyon was
in the veterinary office at the time
of the shooting, and with several
clerks from the Office of the Emer-
son-Brantigam Company, across
State street, ran to Hills assistance
when they heard the report of the
weapon, and saw Hill fall.
After the shooting G. c. Grouse,
who was going down Third street
in an automobile, was hailed by
Charles II. Smith, a Pennsylvania
railroad policeman, who happened
to be on the street off duty, and a
search was made for Keagle, who
was at Third and Mulberry streets.
Smith made a flying leap for
Keagle, who pulled his revolver.
Smith knocked it from his hand
and he and Grouse made the man
a prisoner. He was taken to the
city hall.
Hill lived at No. 457 Elmire
street and had wife and family.

the disease itself is in no way con-

Work Of The Chestnut
Tree Blight Commission
In Centre County, Penn a

Recently there has been certain
criticism in the press of the work
of the Chestnut Tree Blight Com
mission in Centre County, which is
both ridiculous and without found
alton. A field agent had examined
a tract of timber supposed to
belong to Mr.. w. R. Bierly, of
Rebersburg, and on finding certain
chestnut trees infected with the
blight disease, had given him the
usual 20 days notice to cut down
the diseased trees and destroy all
infected. material around the
stumps, as is the usual procedure.
Mr.. Bierly refused to cut the dis
eased trees and wrote formal pro-
test, which the Commissioners were
somewhat surprised to find was in
tended to be in nature of an ap-
peal, based on the contention that
the tract did not belong to him.
At the same time various incor-
rect and absurd statements were
made as to the effectiveness of the
Commissioners work, the cause Of
the chestnut blight disease, etc.
Because of these thing It seems
only fair to present here a correct
statement of the whole matter from
the standpoint of the Commission
itself, and afterward pay no further
attention to the matter, as the
whole thing is very simple affair.
In accordance with Mr.. Bierly's
so called appeal and because of the
requirements of the Legislative
Act, experts were instructed to
make a second investigation of the
tract and the fact appears to be
that it was technically in his pos
session at the time, though pay
ments had been made, showing that
he expected to be the owner.
In the meantime the actual
owner, Mrs. Anna M. Greninger,
who resides on the tract and holds
the deed, has done a part of the
work of removing infections as a
result, curiously enough, of a letter
from Mr.. Bierly himself, in which
he stated, "The best way is to have
them cut down and made into fire.
wood at once" On October 29th,
after reinspection of the tract by
the experts especially detailed for
that purpose, Mrs. -Greninger was
informed that the previous inspec-
ton was correct, and that the COM
pletion of the work of removing
the infections must be done. The
work was completed October 80.
So far as this particular tract is
concerned, therefore, there is moth
ing further to be done. Every thing
has been carried out just as the
Chestnut Tree Blight Commission
expected it would be. AT last re-
port no infections have yet been
found on land actually owned by
Mr.. Bierly. If such should be
found, however, on his or any
other tract in that vicinity or any
where in the county, it is expected
that the removal of diseased trees
will be made promptly and exactly
within the twenty day period al
lowed. The disease is so destruc-
tive and spreads so rapidly that no
time can be lost, and the Commits
sion cannot afford to give a
single day of leeway after the ex-
piration of twenty days notice.
AS to the the Dry of worms caus-
ing the disease, nothing has been
