Susquehanna and Vicinity Ad
venture of a Cyclist Various Bits

Otherwise.
Special correspondence to The Tribune.
Susquehanna, July 26. About mid
way between Susquehnna and Great
Bend, there Is the remains of an old
fort of the Indian, and which was an
encampment occupied by thorn for a
longtime, and from which they were
driven In gieat haste by the white
people who came down the river In
boats. They were supposed to have
burled great treasures near here at
the time of the attack. Some Onon
daga Indians came once from Syra
cuse and searched for It, and some
years since a party of Mormons came
from Utah and worked a month ex
plorlnK the old fort. Jt Is said that
some of the writings of Joseph Smith,
who translated the Hook of Mormon
here, gave the prospectors some in
formation concerning the burled treas
ure. The Mormons found some Indian
weapons, a skull of an Indian, con
taining a rattlesnake, and a little sli
ver coin. Of late t-evoral mysterious
men, said to hall from Brooklyn, have
been digging In the old fort at night.
The leader of the party recently visited
a BlnghanHon fortune teller, who has
a diamond or stone In which she claims
to show many things. She told the
prospector that the Indians and Mor
mons had discovered some treasure,
but there Is more near the old fort.
Another Blnchamton man visited the
spot with a "divining rod," and upon
standing upon a certain knoll the rod
would turn so that It was Impossible
to hold It. The prospectors are confi
dent of success. There appears to bo
some ground for hope, as Indians were
known to have searched for the treas
ure themselves, but claimed that those
who burled It were killed In the battle
on Round Hill, which followed the re
treat of the Indians from Susquehanna,
there. The fortune teller claims that
the treasure burled Is plunder from the
whites, taken near Otsego Lake, prev
ious to the bands retreating down the
Susquehanna river.

MAN THAT DOES THE SHOUTING.
The following floating poem is so ap
propriate that I would like to Insert It
right here:
This war with SpJln reminds me o' the
spring o' '61,
About the time or Just afore the civil war
begun;
A certain class o' heroes ain't remem
bered In this ago,
Ylt their names In golden letters should
be writ on hlst'ryV page.
Their voices urged on cithern to save this
ol' country's fall:
I admit they never listened when they
heard Abe Lincoln call;
They never heard a eagle scream or
heard a rifle crack,
But you bet they done the cheerln'
When
The
Troops
Come
Back.
O' course It's glorious to fight when free-
dom Is at stakr,
I 'low a feller likes to know that he hez
helped to make
Another star In freedom's sky the star
o' Cuby free!
But still another feelln' creeps along o'
that when he
Gits to thlnkin' o' the homo ho left en
seeln' it at night
Dancln' blowlike up aroun' him In a mlity
maze o' light.
En a-ketchln' fleetln' glimpses of a crowd
along the track,
En the man who docs the cheerln'
When
Tho
Trcops
Come
Back.
It's Jest the same In war times ez in
common ev'iy day,
When a feiler keeps a strugglln' en a-
peggln' on his wav.
He like to hev somebody come and grab
him by the hand,
En- say: "01' boy, you'll git there ylt;
you've got tho grit en sand."
It dots him good, en I 'low that It does
a soldier, too:
Bo even If the feller at tho track don t
wear the blue.
He's helped save hleedln' Cuby from tho
tyrants en their rack
By leadln" In tho cheerln'
- - When
The
" Troops
Come
Back.

CYCLIST AND RATTLESNAKE.
There comes from historic and hilari
ous Great Bend the ower-too-true tale
of a cyclist and a rattlesnake. While
Insurance Agent Burns was on his way
homo from Hickory Grove, a few even
ings since, riding a wheel, he suddenly
discovered that he lied a passenger on
board. The cyclist realized that the
snnke's venomous mouth was In close
proximity to his vital parts. Occa
sionally the reptile would dart its
poisonous tongue In and out. The In
surance man did not become rattled,
yet he hardly dared dismount, but con
cluded that the most prudent plan was
to Increase his speed, and thus con
fuse his passenger as to the geo
graphical location of the seat of war.
He rapidly Increased his speed, and
tho wheel soon snapped the head off
his snakcshlp, and the unwelcome pas
senger went whirling Into tho ditch.

CARROLL tET SECOND PRIZE.
Judges Render Decision on Recent
Bicycle Races.
The Judges of the recent bicycle
races last evenlnc sent the following
communication to Professor II. J.
llockenberry:
Prof. H. J. llockenberry.
Dear Sir: The undersigned hereby
render Judgment on bicycle races run
at Alumni park, July 11), 1S9S, as fol
lows: T. K. Lee, 11 points, first prize.
Joseph Carroll, 8 points, second prize.
II. P.. Wlrkwlre, 6 points, third prize.
This decision Is based solely on par
agraph 8 of League of American
Wheelmen, Rule 1C, defining a "heat
race." Yours very respectfully,
C. R. Munn,
E. K. Ely,
C. E. Moon.
The judges did not take Into con
sideration the merits of the men but
decided according to the letter of the
law. The rule by which they wero
guided reads as follows:
"In a heat race, the position of each
rider must be taken at the finish of
each heat. The first man shall count
a number equal to that of the contest
ants In tho first heat, the second mnn
shall count one less, the third two less,
and go on. The competitor who scores
the greatest number of points shall be
declared tho winner."
In the race referred to the four men
fell and Carroll and Lee only, finished
the first heat. Wlckwlre finished
ahead of Carinll in tho second and
third heath, but tho points thus gained
do not equal Carroll's number. If Leo
had won the first heat with Carroll
second, tho latter would still havo been
second prize winner by one point, nnd
If Wiekwire had remounted In the first
beat ami taken third place he would
have gained two points and tied Car
roll. The first prize Is a gold watch, nnd
tho second prize a diamond scarf pin.
There lc no third prize.

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
For ways that are dark, nnd for
tricks that are not always In vain, the
Jermyn school board Is peculiar. It
will be lemembered that at the or
ganization of the board lust month
some very nice sleight-of-hand work
was said to have been done. Now here
comes something else. What It Is, and
what It means remains to be seen. It
was said on good authority shortly be
fore the board met to elect teachers
that two resignations were, or would
be In the hands of tho secretary, aid,
of course, there would, be two vacan
cies In the corps of teachers, but when
the meeting was held only one resig
nation appeared, and all tho old rorps
of teachers who applied were elected.
Now It comes out that on of tho
teachers who were elected has. attcr
reflecting over the matter, concluded
not to teach, and will have a letter
of resignation In at the meeting next
Tuesday night. It looks very much,
when all things connected with thiJ
matter are put together, as though
there might be a large eter-d Af-ican
or a Spaniard In the fence somewhete.
We have teachers, graduates of Nor
mal schools, whose parents pay taxes
In this norough. These teachers would
fill tho positions as well aa those Im
ported from other towns.
In the trouble at the Forest house,
between Attorney Walsh, A. J. Gavin
and William Flannagan, Flannagan
appears to be ahead. He holds the fort
and probably will until an amicable
settlement is made.
George Griffiths, of Dorranceton, Is
visiting friends in town.
A large party of young people visit
ed the natives at Camp "L. S." last
evening, thence went to P. J. Lew's
pavilion, where they enjoyed them
selves at tripping tire light fantastic.
Tiro people living near St. George's
hotel on Main street had a scare yes
terday afternoon. A man from above
Carbondalo drove up in front of tho
hotel and tied his horse. Shortly after
he entered the hotel a trollev car
came along and frightened tho animal,
which sprang up on tho sidewalk and
overturned the buggy. As the vehicle
went over a. large box was thrown
heavily to the ground. The box con
tained fifty pounds of dynamite, but
fortunately the shock did not explode
It.
John V. Grant and A. F. Gebhart

MY FIRST SWEETHEART.
She was the fairest, bonniest lass
That mortal ever Knew;
The robe' blush was on her cheeks,
Her eyes had caught tho blue
Of June-tlmo bkics; around her head
Bright, golden ringlets smiled on ma
1 felt my heart entranced.
I found her sitting 'neath the trees
One glorious day In May:
The brejes with hrr dancing curls
Were merrily at play:
1 looked at her with steadfast gaze,
She turned her eyes on me.
They brimmed with love, our warm lips
met
In kisses one. two, three.
That day was years and years ago,
But I can ne'er forget
My tlrst sweetheart's bewitching eyes,
And, oh, I love her yet
As fervently as In thoto days
When that on mo sho smiled:
And she loves mc, I know it, for
I am her only child.
