If j the weather is favorable the cement' j work to the point where the street, i has been torn up. which will take! : them to within two blocks of the ! center of the town, will be com j pleted by Christmas.

Adams County Court to Hold License Session UrtljibuiK. Pa„ Nov. 24. —The an nual license court is to be held Fri day. January 9, 1920. With war time prohibtion in ejTect now and the na tional constitutional amendment going into force on January 16, there are many who question the need of a license court.

It has never been repealed and the annual advertisement by the clerk of the courts announcing the session is simply the fulfilling of the law. It is not believed there will be any applications for licenses.

' eJ HARRI6BURG TELEGRAPtt FEAR OF ARREST LEADS TO DEATH Stale Police Believe the Man Burned Alive Escaped Dan ville Asylum Inmate licbaiion. Pa., Nov. 24.—1t was probably fear of recapture that im pelled Robetr W. Kishbaugh, an es caped inmate of the Danville Insane Asylum, to take refuge in a Phila delphia and Reading Railway freight car which, while he waa inside, was sealed and afterward burned up, re vealing the unrecognizable body of the man. The State police are confident the torso was that of Kishbaugh, who first was seen here when he applied for board and lodging at a North Ninth street boarding house. He was given his breakfast and Mrs. Mary White stated to the police that he ate ravenously, consuming two large loaves of bread, two dishes of pota toes, two large dishes of oatmeal and other food she provided. At the employment bureau of the Bethlehem Steel plant he made ap plication for work and told the man in charge he had been employed in the iron works at Berwick, Pa. His actions attracted the attention of the Bethlehem office force,-who noti fied a State policeman. Sergeant Ike Campbell, who was detailed on the case, having previously been notified of a man having escaped from the Danville institution, tele phoned the superintendent of the in stitution who advised that in the event of the man's mental condition I would warrant he should at once be returned for further treatment. Kishbaugh escaped for the second time from the institution during last May. He was recognized while in Lebanon by Mill Superintendent Wil liam H. Catterall of the Bethlehem plant, who formerly resided at Ber wick. Kishbaugh had a card in his posession showing him to be 41' years of age. Campbell searched the company premises and railroad yards as far east as the plant of the Lebanon Valley Iron and Steel Company plant but no trace of the man could be found. Kishbaugh constantly feared an effort would be made to take him into custody and this is thought to have led him to hide in the freight car standing on the siding before being sealed by Frank Freeman and other car tracers. On Thursday when Freeman passed the car he heard a call from some person and immediately replied but heard no answer. The call probably came from Kishbaugh inside the car. School Days Romance Concludes in Marriage MerhnniesbtirK, Pa., Nov. 24.—Slip ping quietly away from their homes on Friday afternoon. Miss Claribel Geiger. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W". Geiger.

Cams Welker, former mem ber of headquarters troop, 28th Di vision, returned to his home here in a state bordering on callapse. He was nearly two years in the army, and served with the 28th Di vision in France. He was discharged with the rest of the troop and came home. Tt was said his condition was such that the Government should not have permitted his discharge and an examination by Sunbury phy sicians showed pronounced tuber cular trouble which had evidently developed while he was in France. After two months had elapsed, an order was received from the Govern ment sending him to the White Haven Sanitarium, near Hazleton. He remained there until yester day. He stated that other soldiers and ex-soldiers, like himself, were unable to stand it any longer, and they all left, some of them so weak ened that they literally went to their homes to die. They are sub jected to exposure which they could not endurse. Welker said, they were given a milk and egg diet in which the milk was served so cold as to afford little nourishment, and the eggs frequently were bad. One of the bitter experiences of i the boys come recently when a Gov ernment inspector visited the sani tarium. After dinner he called on the patients. "Well, boys," he said, "I just had a splendid dinner. It was one of the best beefsteaks I ever tasted. I sup pose they give you the same sort of food ?" "We haven't tasted beefsteak since we've been here," said the men. Influential relatives and friends of Welker stated to-day, they did not intend to let the matter drop.

John Toms, for whom Hazel Gauger Shaf fer deserted her husband 11 years ago, will not be permitted to marry the woman, according to a decree handed down by Judge'Gillan. The granting of the divorce to William M. Shaffer, of this place, recalls the deeds of Toms, who also is a Way nesboro product. A dozen years ago he began to visit clandestinely Mrs. Hazel Shaf fer. He was living away from Way nesboro, but would come in dis guised and quietly visit at the Shaf fer home when the husband was away. Alter a time Mrs. Shaffer, who was a Waynesboro girl, having at tended the public schools here, be came so infatuated with Toms that she decided to cast her lot entirely with him and she left her husband, going to the mountain home of Toms. She has revisited her old home and friends since then on rare oc casions. Apparently Toms and Mrs. Shaffer were well mated for so far as is known they have continued liv ing together through the entire 11 years. Toms has been somewhat of a myth in the past few years. All sorts of talcs are told about him. One is that he visits Waynesboro on oc casions dressed in women's clothes and mingles freely in the dowtitown section. Nearly every crime committed in the mountain sections near here or for miles around is "hung" on Toms. The first assertion is, "Bet John Toms has something to do with that."

Just when Toms first began his criminal career no one here seems to know with exactness. It was, how ever, In his young manhood, for he has been an outlaw in this com munity more than 20 years. His early infractions of law were confined principally to the stealing of chickens from nenghboring hen roosts, taking of hams from butcher shop hooks, seeds and small quanti ties of grain from farmers and oc casionally furniture und other mer chandise from town stores. He has been arrested a number of times and served one term in the penitentiary. But considering his long career of crime he has been brought to the bar of justice for but a small percentage of his violations of law. __ He was known as a "slippery" prisoner. He broke out of the Car lisle jail, also walked away from the Gettysburg bastile, but once behind the penitentiary bars he served his full term. A few years ago State police and officers from here, among the latter being William Daywalt, rounded up Toms and his brother-in-law, Sharon Gauger, in the mountains near here. So near were the officers to the cabin in which the outlaws were concealed that Toms only escaped from Day wait because he was more fleet of foot, the officer being at one time within a few feet of hiin. Gauger was captured und sent to the peni -1 tlary. Couple Who Marry at Pittsburgh to Reside Here New Cumberland, Pa., Nov. 24. | Announcement Is made of the mar riage of J.
