8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. THL'KSl AY, AUGUST 47. 1903. DENIED AT THE HOSPITAL- fMlith Story Relating to Wholesale Escape ol Patients. Tlie Danville Xews says, "The North American ot Friday printed a sory in the form of a despatch from Dushore relating to the Hospi tal for the Insane here, which will be read far and wide and accepted as truth. It is nearly all a dream, however, arid does considerable in justice to the Hospital. The de spatch reads as follows: "Dushore, August so Joseph Ambs, who recently escaped from the Danville Insane Asylum after releasing fifteen other inmates, has reached his home here. He outwitted his searchers by climbing a tree and hiding in the foliage until they had passed. His appearance created consterna tion in the family." The hospital authorities are very indignant over the foolish sto-y. The only thing about it true is that the patient, who escaped last week, is at his home at Dushore. Instead of causing any "consternation among his family, the latter are so well pleased with him that they have written the Hospital and asked that they be permitted to keep him at home for awhile, as he seems to have nearly recovered. The inter esting bit of fiction about hiding in he tree top and "releasing fifteen other patients" originated in the brain of either the insane maa or some one connected with the news paper publishing the story. The plam tacts ot tne escape were related by an attache of the Hospital yesteulay. It happened last week. " Sixty patients in charge of three attendants were out walk ing in Toby Run Hollow. At a point remote from the hospital five of the patients, among whom was Ambs, took it into their heads to run away. While one attendant remained in charge of the large body of patients, the other two started in pursuit of the fugitives, but the best that each could do was to bring back the man, which left three of the runaways still at large. Two of these were soon caught, one at Mechanicsville and the other near Grovania. Atnbs. who had the best start, succeeded in reach ing his home in Dushore."

Ten hundred deer will be liberat ed from Buckwood Park, near Shawnee, at an early date, and farmers who live in the vicinity fear that the animals will destroy their grain, vegetables and shrub bery. C. C. Worthington, the million aire owner of the park, will liberate the herd because they have denuded the park of everything which is palatable to a deer. If the fences are kept up, the game keeper says the animals will starve. They had a hard time last winter and it will be much worse next. The open season does not com mence until November 1st, and if the herd is liberated prior to that time the farmers will, they think, be at the mercy of the animals. Sportsmen, naturally, are greatly elated at the news. They see be fore them a big game season which will be unparalleled. Eleven years ago Mr. Worthing ton placed nineteen deer in his park. The breeding has been so rapid that in a decade the herd numbers more than 2000. The millionaire hopes to feed half of the herd. Seven years in business is our reference. Gem Steam Laundry. W. D.

A verdict was rendered by the coroner's jury, at Philadelphia, put ting the blame for the disatesr at the Philadelphia ball park on Augnst 8 on the owners of the ground. William Kriner, while reparing the fire box of an engine Monday morning, slipped and upset over him self the gasoline torch he was carry, ing. Frantic, he rushed down an alley in the wind, a human torch. Companions caught him and ex tinguished the fire, but not until he was tatally burned. While persumably under the in fluence of liquor, Sadie Cussel, aged 30, of Harrisburg, deliberately satur ated her clothes in gasoline on Mon day and then applied a lighted match to herself. Her burns are of u most serious nature, and although re moved to the hospital immediately, she has not the slightest chance of recovery. John Moyer, an engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad, when nearing Retreat, near Wilkesbarre, Pa., ran over an unknown man. The upper portion of the head, both legs and an arm were severed from the body and the pockets of the man's clothing were turned inside out, icdicaiing that he may have been murdered and his body placed on the track. Jacob Wilsey, a farmer living near Tunktunnock, was attacked by his vicious dag on Monday. T animal seized him by the throat, threw him down and was mangling him terribly when Mrs. Wilsey came to her husband's rescue with an ax. She struck at the dog just as Wilsey raised his leg. Wilsey received the full force of the blow just below the knee, severing an artery. He bled to death before a physician could reach him. Th7 Burned the Wood. The party of young people who held a corn roast at the point of the creek, below the Keiter mill Tues day evening probably wondered on reaching the same, what became of the wood they had previously pre pared. A young man on the car observing the party get off at Rup ert, smiling to himself informed the writer that he and some others while in bathing in the afternoon, had set fire to it and burned it. He seemed to think it was a huge joke but the corn roasters no doubt regarded it as a mean trick. Not Sew tiers. A commercial man the other day told us of a new game called "'gos sip," which he says is having quite a run in some localities in the east ern states. It is played with photo graphs. They are shuffled and dealt out like cards, everyone in the party receiving a photo. It is then the play to tell every mean thing that can be thought of about the party photographed. The game is not new in Bloomsburg by any means. It has been played here for years, without photographs too. Prohibition Convention and Pionic- The annual Prohibition convention and basket picnic will be held at Keiter's Grove, Rupert, on Friday, August 18. Prof. H. D. Patton and Hon. W. T.

Said t3 Have Been Ready (or a Month but Mombers Have Not Received Them. Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary of the State Game Commission, has received several communications from members of the Legislature asking why the digest of the game and fisti laws for 1903 allotted to them had not been issued. Upon inquiry he found that twenty four thousand copies of the digest have been lying at the Capitol for more than a month. Sixteen thou sand copies of this pamphlet were sent there to be forwarded to the members of the House, and eight thousand for the members of the Senate, but nothing has been done. Dr. Kalbfus has addressed a letter to every member of the State Legis lature informing them that these di gests were sent to the proper officia's to be mailed, and the delay in the receipt of thetn was not the fault of the office of the Game Commission.
