A Local Legend That Datei Back to Old
Shikelimy'i Time-
An Indian Maiden's Lover Tomahawked hf
Enraged Parent While Tryiting at the
Spring A Haunted Spot.
The Watsontown Rtcord and Star
tells the following interesting tale
of Indiah lore. The spring referred
to is about four miles from Milton.
Few of the younger dwellers of
Watsontown realize that where
they now live was oner the scene of
J primitive beauty, and that a dense
pjtest covered the ground now oc
cupied by cosy and civilized homes,
fcnd as few, even of the older genera
tion, have heard the legend attach
ed to the beautiful spring which
still yields its crystal coolness to
the thirsty at Springtown, barely
two miles from this borough. We
ask the gentle reader to "List to
the mournful tradition still sung by
the pines of the forest."
This spring, long before Penn
sailed up the Delaware, was the
trysting spot ot two Indian lovers,
one a beautiful maiden, the other a
young warrior, ta'.l and straight as
the monarchs of the forest that
towered above him. By this spring
they plighted their troth. But love
did not always run smooth even
with the dusky race that inhabited
this continent before Columbus
spread the sails of his fleet of three
frail vessels in quest of a new world.
The maiden's father promised
her to a chieftain of a neighboring
tribe, and when he discovered she
had clandestine meetings with a
young btave of her own tribe, his
rage was terrible.
One evening upon returning home
to his wigwam, after a long and
weary day's hunt, she was missing.
Suspecting her whereabouts, he
tracked her footsteps to this spring
and found her in company with
her young lover. Stealing upon
them unawares, he dealt the youth
a deadly blow with his tomahawk.
When the maiden realized that
her lover had been killed by her
father's hand she uttered a scream
that echoed through the aisles of
the deep forest like the cry of a
wounded animal and fell at her
father's feet in a death like swoon.
Tradition fails to tell if she was
mated to the dusky savage her
father had chosen for her, but a
belief that the spring was haunted
lasted for many years among the
Indian tribes, and even after the
white man had settled along the
banks of the Susquehanna, when
ever a weird cry was heard at night
fall, borne on the breeze from the
direction of the haunted spring,
mothers would gather their fright
ened offspring about them and with
bated breath whisper the " Legend
of the Lover's Spring."
Queen of the Oity, a Novel Contest
The Harrisburg Board of Trade
'ias adopted a novel plan of raising
noney and arousing public interest
n the proposed Old Home Week
jelebration, the first week in Octo
ber. The Board has created the hon
wary office of Queen of the City.
The young lady to occupy this po
sition is to be chosen by ballot.
The ballots are being placed in all
he stores and public offices, for
ale at one cent each.
The proceeds go into the Old
Home Week fund, and the girl re
viving the greatest number of votes
vill be crowned Queen of the City
.t the beginning of the week's cer
monies. , Merchants are vieing with each
ther for the privilege of adorning
rhe "Queen" with the best of their
vares. Among other things a $1 50
liamond ring is to be bestowed on
the fortunate young lady.
The greatest rivalry is among the
voung men, who are forming clubs
ind laying plans for vigorous
campaigns in behalf of various pop
alar girls.

Death of Presiding Elder Baldwin
Patted Away Friday, After a Month'
lllnett
Reverend Amos Smith Baldwin,
Presiding Elder of the Danville
District of the Methodist Episcopal
church, died at his home in Sun
bury, on Friday morning at .half
past eight o'clock.
Death was due to cancer. Rev
erend Baldwin had been failing in
health for a period covering over
two years but his condition did not
become alarming until May. Dat
ing from that period, he grew slow
ly, but steadily, worse, in spite of
medical skill and careful nursing,
until death ended his earthly career.
Mr. Baldwin was born in Ful
ton county, Pennsylvania, and was
51 years of age. He prepared for
the ministry at Dickinson Semina
ry, Williamsport, Pa., and took his
first charge in the year 1875. By
close application and an undivided
interest in his chosen life's work,
he rapidly rose to the position of
Presiding IUder.
Previous to coming to Sunbury. '
he Was the Presiding Elder of the '
- . e 1
Juniata District, changing places
with the Rev. Dr. Evans, about a
year and a half ago.
Although his stay in Sunbury
was marked by the fatal ailment
which prevented him from coming
into a closer contact with the peo
ple in his district, he was held in
the highest esteem.
By his death the church loses one
of its most ardent workers and the
world sustains the loss of one of its
best citizens. The grandest eulogy
that can be written is that "He was
a good man."
A widow and three children sur
vive to mourn his death: Miss Mary
located at Tyrone; Miss Amy, who
resides at home, and George, of
Philadelphia.
The funeral took place from St.
John's Methodist church, In Sun
bury, Monday morning at eleven
o'clock. Interment was made at
Newton Hamilton, Pa.
Opening ot Amusement Season
Tommy Donnely, for seventeen
years identified with the Al. G.
Field Greater Minstrels, and one of
the best minstrel comedians who
has ever been connected with a
minstrel organization, will give the
monologue in the Donnelly & Hat
field Magnificent Minstrels, which
open the amusement season at the
Bloomsburg opera house, next
Wednesday evening. It goes with
out saying that this will be one of
the entertaining features of this
company, as this gentlsman is sure
to come forward with a new bud
get of jokes. Mr. Donnelly is one
of the top notchers in minstrelsy
and is famous as a monologist.
Mr. Donnelly's songs are also pal
pable hits, and he is known as the
best end man in the country. Ar
thur Crawford will also be seen on
one of the ends this season. He is
famous the country ever for his
darkey dialect.
