Two proposed ordinances were giv- en a first reading and will be up for final disposition at the next regular meeting. One of them relates to the duties of the municipal magis- trate and the other provides for the holding of a municipal and school election on the first Tuesday in April.
 The dog ordinance was up for a second reading, but no action was taken, the council deciding to de- fer final consideration until the next regular meeting.
 In response to a request from the School Board, the council adopted a resolution providing for the in auguration of 8 curfew regulation, under the provisions of which is will not be permissible for children to be on the streets, unattended, after nine o'clock at night. The new regulation will go into effect on Sunday night and will continue in force until the end of the school term, and both Chief Johnson and Deputy Marshal James Hagan will see that there are no violations.
 II is thought that arrangements can be made to sound a short blast of the power plant whistle, which will be the signal for youngsters to get of the streets.

TOLD HE WAS TO DIE
HURRIED TO EXECUTION

louisville, Pals "a hours
long enough to prepare for death?
This question is being debated here
because OF the execution of Henry Les
kowski, of this county at Rockview,
Pa, Monday morning.
Up until last Friday, Leswoski had
no knowledge of the date of his exc
cution and Saturday he was taken on
the journey to Rockview. He had only
few hours to talk with his spiritual
adviser and his seven small children
before he was hurried to the scene
of his death.
Heretofore it has been the custom
here to give man 20 days notice of
the day on which he has to meet his
tate by reading of the death warrant
by the sheriff, but county officials did
not receive notice of the impending
event any sooner than LeskowsIi.
Les kowski was convicted OF killing
his wife while intoxicated. The seven
little children bidding farewell to their
father, was one OF th5 most affecting
scenes ever enacted in the county Jail
here. On the way to Rockview Les.
kowski and his guards boarded train
hauling coffin which Leskwosk; was
convinced was his own.

SEEK TREASURE LONG BURIED
Search Being Made In Italy for
Wealth Concealed Since Centuries
Before Birth of Christ.

Robert Louis Stevenson OF Alexan.
Dire Dumas could hardly have pro.
duced a more romantic story than
that which comes from BiSceglle, in

correspondent
week or two ago an Italian widow
reMrned from Jerusalem declaring
that she was in possession of an cid
parchment written in Italian, and Civ
en- to her father by monk of Bis
ceglie, which contains indications Of
the whereabouts of an enormous hid
den treasure.
Until recently the widow has not
had enough money to carry out the
said to consist of 100 silver vases and
70 other vases full of gold coins, 81
of silver, five of antique works of art,
~ boxes of Jewels and a large earth
enware vessel full of pearls. Now
the excavation has begun.
According to kilograms from Bis
cegile the first indication mentioned
in the overwhelmingly, large
stone with a serpent engraved upon
it-has already been discovered two
public spirited of the villages resi-
miles from the town.
The treasure is supposed to have
belonged to Roman matron who bur
led 1t at the approach of Hannibal's
troops in PIG b. c., but there is moth
ing to explain why so many centuries
were allowed to elapse between the
concealment of the treasure and the
preparation Of the parchment.

FOUGHT KILLER SHARK
SEEKING TO SAVE HER
FRIEND FROM DEATH

TAMPA, Fla,-Terror of tiger

waters close to shore today, following
a tragedy in which Miss Dorothy Nc
Claiche champion girl swimmer, was
bitten to death by giant barracuda
or a shovel nose shark.
Miss Mary Buhner, seventeen COM
panion of Miss McClatchie on the IA
tai swim will be recommended for a
Carnegie medal for heroism in holding
the dying girl in her arms and sig
mailing for help from shore after the
killer had made its attack. Two deep
wounds in the girls leg proved fatal,
and she died in her companions arms.
The girls were swimming in the
ship channel of Tampa Bay, off St.
Petersburg about half mile from
shore. Both were members of the
state championship swimming team.
Just as they reached the channel
buoy, Miss Buhner was Mortified to
see her companion drawn beneath the
surface by some invinsible force A
moment later Miss McClatchie. came
to the surface and waters about her
stained with blood.
1--WE been bitten, she gasped "My
leg and she went down again.
Miss Buhner, terrified, kicked Wig
orously with her feet to brighten off
the attacking fish, and seized and
supported her companion, who was rap
idly weakening. A large artery in the
McClatchie girls leg had been severed
and she was unable to do more than
cling weakly to Miss Buhner's should
ers.
Although nearly fainting herself at
the blood and in fear for her .compan-
ion, Miss Buhner waved frantically to
persons on shore. For a long time they
did not see her signals. Finally a mo-
tor boat arrived, the Buhner girl had
held up her friend for half an hour.
The giant fish is believed to have
been patrolling the wake of gulf steam
ers in search of food. 1t is believed
by fishermen to have been barra-
cuda, one of school, but may have
been a shark.
