Burglars Captured
Near Renovo.
Now Confined In Emporium Jail.
Last Sunday while P & E. B. R.,
Detective, Mr. J. O. Colwell, was at
tending to his duty he noticed two
chaps stealing a ride on a freight train,
between Renovo and Lock Haven, and
promptly arrested them. Upon ex
amining the chaps he found a lot of sus
picious artticles, razor knives, etc.
Knowing that several robberies had
beencommitted in Emporium he wired
to this place and ascertaining the facts,
when he locked up the chaps in Lock
Haven jail, awaiting authority to bring
his prisoners to Emporium. They
were identified as Francis Getchell, of
Emporium, aged 20 years, and Frank
Smith, aged about 38 or 40.
Sheriff John W. Norris and Ex-
Sheriff Frank Mundy went to Lock
Haven Monday night, returning on
early morniDg Flyer with the prison
ers, who were confined in jail. The
prisoners were given a hearing before
Esquire Larrabee Tuesday morning, F.
A.Johnson District Attorneyappearing
for the Commonwealth. The justice
adjourned the hearing until Friday
morning.
Sufficient evidence has been secured
to convict the thieves of entering H.
S. Lloyd's book store and Heilman's
hardware—H. S. Lloyd identifying
some knives and F. V. Heilman a
razor.
So many depredations have been
committed here during the past few
weeks that it is hoped an entering
wedge has been found and that more
arrests will follow until this dastardly
practice may be abolished. When the
State Constabulary were located here
they held in check the lawlessness. It
is certainly necessary that a bunch of
the Constabulary be returned to Em
porium, which is centrally located.
The large floating population in this
section makes it absolutely necessary
that our officials have experienced as
sistance. "Let no guilty man escape."

PRESS, was a caller last Friday even
ing and passed a pleasant hour with

Game Warden and is kept constantly
on the go, looking after violators of
the game laws. He tells us most of the

and eat them. Friend Smith is always
on the lookout and is liable to show up
in any part of the state.

DEATH'S DOINGS.
OREEN.
Miss Mildred E'esia Green, ward of
Mrs. M. A. Rockwell, died, at Koser's
private sanitarium, at Williamsport
early last Thursday morning, May
12tb. Deceased was born January 20,
1889 and was twenty-one years and five
months of age Miss Green has made
her home with Mrs. Rockwell for the
past twelve years and it ia truly said
no child could have received better
care than that bestowed upon Mildred
by her foster-mother. Miss Green was
an accomplished musician and was
held in high esteem by her friends.
Mildred had been a patient sufferer for
the past three years and was cheerlul
with all her suffering. Acting upon
the advice of Dr. W. H. Bush, attend
ing physician, Mrs. Rockwell accom
panied Mildred on Saturday, May 7th,
to the Sanitarium where she passed
away. On Sunday morning a very
serious operation was performed. She
rallied from the operation and was get
ting along as well as could be expected
and Mrs. Rockwell returned to Em
porium, on Monday afternoon, know
ing that everything was being done
for Mildred's comfort and care that
could be done. Mrs. Editlia Howard,
of Williamsport, was in constant com
munication with the Sanitarium.
Mildred continued to improve until
Wednesday morning about nine o'clock
when she suddenly took a change for
the worse and from that tin-e con
tinued to fail until the end came at
three o'clock on Thursday morning.
Mrs. Editha Howard, daughter of Mrs.
Rockwell, accompanied the remains to
her home at Emporium on Thursday
afternoon. The funeral of the re
spected young lady was held from Em
manuel Episcopal Church on Saturday
afternoon, at two o'clock, the Rev. J.
M. Robertson, Rector of the church
officiating. The Choir of the Church
rendered the favorite hymns of the de
ceased, she being a member of the
Choir.
During the services at the church
the Choir rendered "Lead Kindly
Light" and "Asleep in Jesus" in a very
impressive manner. A solo, "Thy
Will Be Don®" was sung by W. S.
Sterner. Rev. Robertson's remarks
were very appropriate to the occasion.
The Union Friendly Society, of which
deceased was a member, attended the
funeral in a body. Most beautiful
flowers were sent to the home from
friends and relatives of the deceased.
Interment was made in the Rockwell
family plot, in the Newton-Wiley
Cemetery. The casket bearers were
Messrs. Russell M. McQuay, Guy S.
Felt, John T. Howard and Moses
Harris. C. W. Rishell had charge of
the funeral. Out of town friends in
attendance at the funeral were Mrs.
Editha Howard and daughter, Mrs.
Carl Rothfuss, of Williamsport and Mr.
and Mrs. E. W. Yeagle, of St. Marys.
V
FBEINDEL.
Our citizens were deeply grieved to
hear the sad information that Miss ED
NA MARIE FREINDEL, aged 12 years,
second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
A. Freindel, died yesterday morning
at 10:45, at the family residence South
Maple Street. The funeral will take
place from St. Mark's Church, Satur
day morning at nine o'clock. Deceas
ed had been ill for several weeks with
a compicatlon of diseases and suffered
groat pain. Her fond parents employ
ed every known remedy in hopes that
she might out-grow the ailment but all
without avail. Edna was a bright
chilu and until recently of very robust
health. Her death is indeed sad. The
PRESS will miss the dear, cheerful and
hHppy child who came to our office
once a week regularly ever Bince she
was a little girl to purchase a PRKSS
for their grand-mother, Mrs. John
Gayney, who for many years always
tent a grand-child after her PRESS al
most as soon as it was issued. The
hffiicted family have our deepest sym
pathy, as well as all acquintances.
New Powder Plant
Starts To-day.
Mr. Geo. P. Jones, general manager
of the Cameron Powder M'fg. Co.,with
offices in Emporium and works at Wy
side (Sinnamahoning) commences act
ive operations to-day with about forty
employees. This makes five dyna
mite plants in this county—three at
Emporium and two at Sinnamabon
ing. Cameron county is now consid
ered headquarters for high explosives,
a larger volume of trade comiug here
than to any other single county in the
United States. Four of the plants are
owned almost exclusively by home
capitalists, while the other is owned
by the DuPonts, of Wilmington, Del.
While years ago accidents were fre
quent, of late years the modern plan of
building and equipping these plants
are more safely constructed.
Business Change.
Our good natured and genial friend,
Mr. Richard Kelly for many years con
nected with the hotel business in Em
porium, has purchased the City Bak
ery, so successfully conducted by Mrs.
C. G. Schmidt for twenty-one years.
Mr. Kelly has taken possession and
hopes to add many improvements, to
meet all demands of the trade. We
wish him much prosperity. Mrs.
Schmidt, has retired, we [are pleased
to know will continue to reside in Em
porium, where she is greatly respected
and has proven herself to be a good
business lady.
A Fast Ride.
Last Monday, Hon. Joßiah Howard's
new 60 H. P., touring car made a lively
trip to Austin, with Mr. Andrew
Brady at the wheel. In addition to
Mr. Brady the party consisted of
Messrs. Chas. L. Butler, A. A. McDon
ald, Fred Seger and H. W. Smith, of
the Hotel Warner. They made a
pleasant trip over but coming back
was a hummer Our friend Smith re
mained at Austin evidently Bmelling a
mouse. They made the run to Em
porium, via Keating Summit, in forty
six minutes, with Col. Brady at
the helm. That was going some and
while Mr. Brady is a rapid driver he
always keeps his machine well in
hand, knows the road and don't get
rattled—even if his companions do.
Chas. Butler, mine host of Commercial
Hotel, said to a PRESS reporter, "I
have ridden in a great many auto
mobiles, both here and elsewhere, but
never in a finer car than this. Talk
about flying machines, this puta them
all in the shade."
Accepted Position.
It is rumored that Mr. C. H. Cordie,
a former chemist for the Emporium
Powder Company at this place, has ac
cepted the position as chemist for the
Cameron Powder Mfg. Co., at Sinna
mahoning. "Jim's" many friends at
this place will be pleased to hear that
he has decided to return to Emporium.
Cedar Shingles $4.50 per thousand at
B. Howard & Co's.
More Burglaries.
Burglaries are of such frequent oc
curence in Emporium, lately, that we
actually almost failed to mention the
fact that Stephen's hardware was enter
ed last Thursday night and a quantity
of goods stolen. The thieves entered
by aback door, after boring a hole large
enough to admit an arm to remove the
bar across the double doors. The work
was evidently "spotted" by the thieves
for they knew just where to bore. The
brace and bit were borrowed (?) from
Emporium & Rich Valley R. R. shop.
Quite a large number of expensive
knives, razors, etc., were taken, valued
at SIOO.OO, or more. Very evident that
all thievery pulled off here ia engineer
ed by the same gang, who will soon
have stock sufficient to establish quite
a store—unless they are sent on a
voyage down the river.
Cold Feet Again.
The Independent evidently does not
want to know what constitutes "cold
feet," in spite of the fact that he has
been terribly afflicted with the malady
daring the past and present—in fact
he don't know whether he is going or
coming, grooping in the dark, as it
were. Capt. Barclay is not a candi
date yet if he was the ludependet says
in one line that he is "honest and
brave," he must have been when he
voted for those awful (?) gang bills.
If Hockley can tell where he is at it is
more than the readers of his sheet can.
Surprise Party.
A surprise party was tendered G.
W. Gross at his home at this place,
last Thursday evening, May
12th. The evening was very pleasant
