CLO WM. GARIS HOME FROM PRANCE. Back from Verdun and Argonne Sect or Where Fighting Was Fiercest, —~Was In the Railroad Artillery. William Garis, youngest .son of Mr, and Mrs, Bryon W, Garis is home from France, having landed on the shores of the U. 8. A, on January 3rd, and after receiving an honorable discharge came to his home in Centre Hall, arriving here Saturday. He is the first local boy who has faced the fire of the Huns to get back home. William left Centre Hall May 11th of last year for Columbus, Ohio, barracks and later was transferred to Fort Han- cock, New Jersey. He left for England on August 13th, and arrived overseas August 28th. He had been trained in the heavy artillery and immediately upon his arrival in Europe was rushed through to the Verdun sector to replace units of the railroad artillery which had been completely wiped out by the enemy. He held the position of second man on the breech of a monster gun known as a 32, which shoots a 13-inch shell and hav- ing a range of twelve miles. There are two guns to a battery and they are mounted on railroad tracks and can be quickly moved in the event of the enemy locating them. William had the pictures of the big gun with him and they served to convince his many admir- ing friends that he was right where the big noise was made, William's sever: months of hard fighting were all s in the Verdun sector and the Argonne region, He witnessed suffering and death and at one time an immense shell burst not far from him and a piece of fiying shrapnel completely severed the arm of a comrade standing close to him. William himself, during all his service, escaped without so much as a scratch, His closest call huge enemy shell struck a few yards ahead of him and the concussion lifted him off his feet and violently deposited him on the he fell ‘came to’ came when a earth eight feet away. He says himself over when he found he was unhurt, Regarding his experience, be that-he would not have missed it for the world, but that he would care to re- peat the operation. amama——i— Railroad Morning. the name of killed ’ the west-bound ead not MA nis — Killed on Wednesday A man by 1 Bell was stru and instantly ing of this week by Wednesday mu pas at a which senger train, on the local branch, point two miles below Vicksburg, is near Mif hour behind with great speed when it The train was an flinburg. hodnls and w running schedule and was running the two san was rid struck horse wagon in which the ing.

Caught like rats little children of Mr, Hurl of Yeagertown crisp Tuesday morning. entirely consumed by the flames that souffed out the three little lives, The victims of the tragic occurence were Sara Hurl, aged six years ; Irene Hurl, aged four years ; Robert Hurl, aged two years, When the one story bungalow build. ing caved in the horrified throng of spec- tators, that had been forced to stand helplessly by watching the flames run their course and with the agonized cries of the doumed tots’ ringing in their ears, saw the three charred bodies lying just inside the front door where they had gathered and fruitlessly pounded in their frenzied struggles to escape the in- ferno that raged within. The mother of the children on leaving home in the moring to do some shop- ping in Lewistown, locked the three babes in the bouse and going to her neighbor, Mre, Wagner, handed her the key. A half hour later, or 8 o'clock, Mrs, Wagner thought she would slip over and see how the kiddies were get ting along.
