FIND BLOODY AX
IN SECOND ST. YARD
Weapon Found Close by Home
of "Hatchet Fiend"
Victim
Fresh mystery was added to the
series of crimes attributed to Steel
ton's "hatchet fiend" this morning: by
the finding of a blood-spotted ax by
Mrs. George Enney, of 890 South Sec
ond street.
The weapon was discovered in a
clump of tall grass n the rear of the
Enney home, which is Just a rew doors
oft Mohn street, and close to where
pretty Marie Weln and Mrs. Sara Ro
benlinger fell victims while tney slepc
to the "hatchet fiend."
Neighbors who were much excited
at Mrs. Enney's find, believe that the
ax. a short-handled, single-ottted wea
pon. was cast away by the criminal
as he ran down River alley towards
the foreign section after his visit to
either the Weigand home, In Good
street, where Miss Weln was nssaulted,
or from the home of Mrs. Kobenfinger,
in Mohn street, another victim.
Believing that perhaps the weapon
had been tossed into the Enney yard
by boys, inquiry was made among all
the neighbors. No one claimed the ax.
A few spots, believed to be blood,
made the Enneys and officers to whom
the weapon was shown, form the opin
ion that the ax was used by the
"hatchet fiend" in one or nis seven
crimes.
Mrs. William Gutschall. of 669
South Front street, who was attacked
by a foreigner Tuesday night, is ser
iously 111. Physicians believe her sick
ness was brought on partly by the
shock of Tuesday's adventure. Joe
Caleta, the foreigner now in Jail,
charged with the attack upon Mrs.
Gutschall, Is not believed by the au
thorities to have anything to do with
the "hatchet fiend's" crimes.
100 Parochial Students
to Go to Public Schools
Steelton's school board faces an In
tricate problem as a result of the
European war. A short time ago the
nuns who act as teachers in St. Peter's
parochial school returned to Europe
to act as nurses. As a result it was
decided to close, the school and enroll
the hundred or more pupils In the
public grades.
The school board was not notified of
the intended change until the tax rate
fcr this year had been set and the
budget drawn up. Some careful finan
ciering will be needed to obtain money
tc equip three rooms which will be
needed to care for the new pupils.
Three teachers must be employed and
supplies purchased. Superintendent
L. E. McGlnnes is working out a plan
to meet the emergency and will report
to the board at Its next meeting.

Wiconisco, Pa., April 5, 1915.
DEAR SIR—
I hereby announce myself a candidate for County Com
missioner on the Republican Ticket at the primaries in
September next. I have been Justice of the Peace in
Wiconisco Township since May, 1899, making a continuous
term of 16 years, and was also Triennial Assessor of Wico
nisco Township from 1905 until 1914. I would briefly say
to the voters of Dauphin County that I have been very care
ful during my time as Justice of the Peace in the matter of
costs by not returning cases to court whereby the county
might be liable for costs. I always deem this important
upon an officer to prevent making costs if he can, as we all
know that unnecessary costs mean unnecessary taxes. I
believe in doing the best for the tax payers' interest; I be
lieve in conducting the affairs of County in an Economic
Way; I believe in just and fair dealing with all concerned.
In conclusion I would say to you who do not know me,
that I was born and resided on a farm near Berrysburg,
Dauphin County, until I was about twenty years of age.
Since that time I have been employed at the mines at Wico
nisco, Pa. I am now fifty-two years old.
My official conduct and character as a man is open to
your investigation. If you see fit to support me at the com
ing election upon the aforesaid principles on which I stand,
your support will be kindly appreciated.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. H. HARMAN.
TO THE REPUBLICAN ELECTORS OF DAUPHIN COUNTY:
I beg to announce myself a candidate for the Republican nomin
ation for the office of Recorder of Deeds of Dauphin County and
solicit your support at the Primaries to be held next month.
This announcement is made because of numerous requests made
to me recently by patrons of the office who are familiar with the
affairs of the office and quite well satisfied with my management.
Among these are prominent bankers of the city and county, active
real estate men transacting business daily with the office, and man>
prominent business and professional men.
In making this announcement, permit me to state that I stand
on my record for general efficiency in the office, for an economically
administered office, for expediting the work of the office and prompt
transcribing of instruments, and for making more money for the tax
payers than was ever made before, all of which may be readily
ascertained from an inspection of the Public Records.
In this connection may I call your attention to the fact that the
work of the office has been under my daily supervision and care.
The intricate work of the office has been thoroughly mastered by
myself and assistants, who have received better wages than was
| ever before ifid, and no patron of the office has lost a single dollar
j through fault or neglect of the office.
Four years ago, in the largest county of this State, a man was
elected to the same office I now hold and on the same ticket on which
I was elected and to-day shrewd political leaders of that county have
decreed that he shall be given the Republican nomination without
opposition, and believing that the rank and file of the Republican
Party of Dauphin County are of the same mind with respect to me,
I have consented to again be a candidate.
Very sincerely yours, '"Hi]
