Victim of Speeding on
Waynesboro Highway

Waynesboro, Aug. 4. - George
Gohynes, of Harrisburg. is in jail
here as the result of reckless auto
mobile driving, and Nick Proferes,
of Lewistown. probably has frac-
tured skull. He came here yester-
day afternoon in a Packard car,
having as companions Nick Proferes,
of Lewistown, and His brother, John

was arrested for violating traffic
laws and fined S5. Then, after he
had paid that, he was arrested
again and fined S12.50 for speeding.
Not content with the days en-
perience, he is charged by the police
with having raced out Main street
toward Greencastle, where he ran
into tree. The Lewistown man
jumped from the car and landed on
his head. His condition was so bad
when taken to the office OF a doc
tor that it was deemed inadvisable
to risk the journey to the Chambers

SEVEN ARE IN JAIL
ON ARSON CHARGE
Burning of Barn in Cumber-
land County Followed
by Arrests

Carlisle. Aug. 4.-Charles Yingst,
William Yingst, William Kelley, the
johnson brothers, and men by the
names of Kunkleman and Lynch, all
of Cleversburg, are in Jail here fol-
lowing an escapade, which took
place in Cleversburg on Monday, and
which resulted in the burning of
the barn of George NJ. Miller.
The offenders were arrested by
officers of the State Police stationed
at Mechanicsburg and Constable
Mccoy of Carlisle. 1t is thought
that more arrests will follow.
The affair is the result of intense
i'll feeling in the neighborhood, and
especially between the Millers and
Yingsts. Those taken into custody
are held on the charges of malicious
mischief and arson, the former
charge growing out of the fact that
the Miller house was stoned during
the day and the buildings burned at
night.
In this feud. which has been
going on for some time, even the
women take part Not long ago
women of the Miller faction are re-
ported to have STONED some of the
other faction while the latter were
on their way TO church.
