Open Letter to the Supervisors
of Laporte township

Eagles Mere, Pa, Aug. 26, ~
Gentlemen:
/ think we will agree with this
statement. "No chain is stronger
than its weakest link. "
The roads, (taken as "a whole)
are better than they have ever
been before, of course they are not
perfect. l doubt if you have the
funds to bring this about. But
Notwithstanding, we (the travel
ing public) wish to call your at
tention to what should, could and
can be done at once without any
delay.
For weeks and week, some cul-
vert have been N. G. especially
one Iron Culvert near the ShrewS :
bury line because the cutters
were stopped up, also the side
bitches between Celestia and the
Shrewsbury line. Two men in one
day could do that much and ] think
more.
OF course if you were able to fill
up those low places with small
stone, it would be fine. Although
poor nam, I would throw in a
dollar to bring it about.
Gentleman don't let what can be
done glue the rest of the road a
''Black Eye"
Yours respectfully,

TWO PRISONERS BREAK
JAIL

On last Saturday marning, at an
early hour, Thomas Haus and
Edward Slouskey, two prisoners
held in the County jail awaiting
trial at the September term of court
made their escape.
Thomas Haus, a few week ago,
picked the lock in some manner ON
the door in the room in which he
was locked and made his escape.
He was captured in Williamsport
by the city police on Aug. 18th,
and was brought back to this place
the following morning by Sheriff
Cott and placed in a cell by himself
Sometime during last Friday one
of them played mouth-organ
while the other one filed the lock
nearly through, then filled
it with soap, on the cell which
Haus occupied, then after the other
three prisoners in the same room
were fast asleep, they, with the
aid of a scrub broom, an iron brace
about ten inches in length broken
off of the wash stand and file,
the file getting in the Jail in some
way unknown to anyone, bursted
the lock on Haus cell, then they
pried out the brick in one end OF
the Jail large enough for them tc
squeeze through, taking a bed sheet
tied it to a cell which left them
down on the outside and made theil
escape without any of the other
prisoners hearing them. They are
still at large.

DASH INTO TRAIN
HORSES ARE KILLED
Excursionists on w. q N. B.
Railroad Given Scare by
Exciting Collision
PASSENGER CAR DAMAGED

A brown team, the property of
Alvin Cramer, dashed into an ex-
cursion train on the Williamsport
81 North Branch railroad last Sat
urday morning. One of the horses
was instantly killed by the force
of the collision and the other was
so badly injured that it had to be
shot.
The pole OF. the wagon damaged
a passenger coach somewhat and
the passengers of this car received
somewhat of a scare. The team
was in charge of Mr.. Cramer's son
and "A load of lime was being placed
on the wagon at the Chippewa lime
kilns. Shortly before the excursion
train reached the Chippewa cross
ing the engineer sounded his whistle
and it is believed that the nois
frightened the team.
The driver was in the lime kiln
when the horses started away and
never had a chance of stopping his
team. The kiln is a short distance
from the railroad crossing and the
team plunged headlong into the
train as it passed this point. They
struck the next to the last passen-
ger coach and the one horse dashed
out his brain against the side of
the car. The other horse had its
legs broken and he was shot by a
Mr.. Artley. The pole of the
wagon itself was damaged but little.
The train was stopped and an
inventory taken of the damage,
after which it proceeded on it's way.

An interesting baseball game
was played on Saturday afternoon
between Laporte and Nordmont.
Since the Laporte team was gotten

of 1l-10 was not so bad. Hart
Anderson pitched very good game,
and Ellery Minnier made fine
catcher Clarence Taylor was un-
doubtedly the feature of the game,
his batting adding great deal to
Laporte's S score. Mr.. Pennock de-
serves a great deal of credit for the
good game he played. In fact all
the players rose to the occasion
thoroughly, and showed that if
they had had an opportunity for
practice they could have reversed
the score and then some.
