curve just as it enters the iron bridge
over Fishing creek.
This change in route has been
made for two purposes. It eliminates |
two forty-five degree turns as well
as the present dangerous approach
to the bridge. At the same time it
will make possible the consolidation

ed with forgery and whose case was

| was with him.
| Leonard Tierney, 24 years old, ot
‘Bellefonte, plead guilty to the trans.
| portation and possession of liquor
but maintained that he was an in-
nocent party. The young man isa
‘son of Jeff Tierney. He and his
mother had gone on a motor trip to
Osceola Mills and he told them that |
on the return trip they were to stop
at a certain house in Port Matilda |
and get a five gallon jug of cider.
They did so and at Snow Shoe Inter- |

stopped their car, found the jug |
‘which proved to contain moonshine |
instead of cider. The court sentenc- |
ed the young man to pay the costs, |
for one year. |
