$4,000 in Gold and Silver
Coin Aboard Saved For
Pennsylvania Miners
H.I associated Press.

PunXSutawncy, Pa, Aug. 16.-
Details were received here to-day
of a daring attempt to rob a pay
train carry $4,000 in gold and
silver coin for employees of the Bul-
falo and Susquehanna Railroad
Company's mine at Mccormick STA
ton, near here, late yesterday.
The train was derailed by ties piled
across the track on curve and
rolled down an embankment into
little Mahoning creek.
According to John Harrington,
the engineer, three men, who were
hiding in clump of bushes near
the obstruction, started for the
scene, but when they saw Deputy
Herbert Gungey, of Dubois, emregc
from one of the cars with a squad
of eX-soldiers who were guarding
the money, they fled in a waiting
automobile.
The train, which comprised two
express cars and n passenger coach,
alighted in the creek without over
turning. Terry Dolby, of Dubois,
fireman, was injured, but the rest
of the persons on the train were
unhurt. Mrs. Margaret Hennessey,
who lives near the creek, to-day
told the police she saw three men
placing the ties across the track q
short while before the wreck.

Prices ir the produce markCHs of

ers there was little change over the
low figures established a week ago,
it appearing that some of the deal
ers were feeling OUT the custom

The housewife hunted the low
priced provisions, because, with
practically no price fixing. there is
a wider range in prices now than
ever before in the markets. The re-
suit is that by not buying at the first

can be a big saving by looking
for a grower who is selling the same

SEARCH FOR SECOND MAN

Large quantities of mail intended
for delivery in New York City by
airplane is making the last stage
of its journey from Harrisburg to
New York, in a common railway
mail car. This has been made nee
essary through mishap to a small
mail plane carrying the mail from
Cleveland to New York. A second
mail plane got in trouble and land
ed at Summerdale yesterday.
The plane, driven by Aviator
Lewis, was forced to land on the
ordnance field at Middletown last
evening. Flying slightly out of it's
course, the airplane became balky
when its engine refused to work
properly. Lieutenant Lewis search
ed for probable landing place near
the city. but was compelled to con-
tinue to Middletown before suitable
ground was found.

Landing at Middletown, Lieuten-
ant Lewis communicated with Lieu
tenant Colonel Kirkland, command
ant of the Middletown Depot A
u luCh Was pldCeu at MS disposal
and the mail was sent to this city,
where it in turn was dispatched as
regular train mail. Lieutenant
Lewis expected to continue his jour-
ney to-day.
Searchers for the aviator and his
mail plane, which landed at Sum-
merdale, were compelled to scour
wide territory before they were
able to locate the unfortunate avia-
tor and the plane. 1t was not until
several hours later that they were
finally located.
Bothered by engine trouble, this
flyer, Aviator Grader, who had di-
verged from his course from Cleve-
land to Bellefonte, was compelled to
bring his machine to the ground
near Summerdale. Communicating
by telephone with Bellefonte, he
asked for assistance in salvaging
the machine, which he said was six
miles due west of Harrisburg.
Bothered by the woods and hills
near Summerdale, the searchers
were not able to locate him, how
ever, without considerable effort.
