Childhood Sweet
hearts. Soon to Wed
BOTH RAISED
NEAR PAXTANG
After Courting Miss Elder in Youth He
Marrted Another Woman. But He Is
a Widower Now and Prlends Let It
Out that Wedding Day Is Near
A romance begun more than two
score years ago when they were chil
dren together on the Rutherford farms,
near what is now Rutherford Heights,
will culminate in the wedding in the
near future of Miss Matilda Elder, sis
ter of Mrs. Prancis Rutherford, and
.lames Walker, 66 years old, a widower,
who has long been a trusted employe of
the Boyd estate. Miss Elder resides
with Mrs. Rutherford in the latter's
home in Rutherford lane, a mile east of
Paxtang.
News of the wedding plans has been
confided to close friends, although the
date for the marriage and the details of
the ceremony have not yet been ar
ranged. Formal announcement of the
engagement has not yet been made, but
a niece of Miss Elder this morning con
firmed the news.
Both Miss Elder and Mr. Walker
were born on the Rutherford farms and
have resided in that section of the
county ever since. They were play
mates and later sweethearts, Mr. Walker
having courted Miss Elder two score
years ago. Despite their childhood ro
mance there was no wedding of the pair
and Mr. Walker, after some years,
married another woman. He is a
widower now, the old love lias been re
kindled and announcement of the wed
ding date is expected soon.
Mr. Walker, who boards house
hold of Mrs. George Shearer, on Peifer's
lane, just east of Paxtang, at present
is engaged in building a storehouse on
the Boyd estate. He will fill a clerkship
there on the building's completion. Mr.
Walker has been employed on the Boyd
estate ever since his youth. His one
son is also employed there.

DOG SCARESfI BURGLAR
Causes Thief to Flee After Getting Only
$1 at Home of One-Time
Head of Council
Thieves last evening broke into two
places, a residence and a candy store,
got several dollars and fled without the
police knowing of their presence. At
the home of Charles Steiner, 817 North
Sixth street, $1 was taken. At the
candy store of R. V. Fairlamb At Com
pany, 208 Market street, both cash reg
isters wers rifled and something like
$3 stolen.
After ransacking the first floor of
the Steiner home, the intruder went up
stairs and poked his head into Stein
er's sleeping room. A dog roused the
family, but the thief ran and escaped
before an effort could be made to ap
prehend him.
After the $3 was taken, something
like $1 in change was left in one of
the cash registers in the Fairlamb
store and this led to the belief that the
thieves were frightened away before
they finished their job.
Mr. Steiner, who is a former presi
dent of Common Council, said:
"If it hadn't been for my terrier
'Diana,' I believe the burglar would
have gotten more money which was in
the house."

BRITISH CHASE
THE INVADERS
Latter Were Pursued By Aeroplanes
But Succeeded In Making Their
Escape—Little Material Damage
Was Done By the Bombs
South Bnd, Eng., May 27, 10.35 A.
M.—Another Zeppelin airship raid was
made upon this town last uiglit and it
in • reported that three persons were
killed hv 'bombs which were dropped.
The entire town was illuminated by
the bursting of shells dropped by the
aircraft. The material damage caused
appears to have been less than on the
occasion of the last raid. Among the
killed was Mrs. May Fabin, who was
here on a visit. A number of people,
however, were injured.
Some reports say that two and
others three Zeppelins took part in the
raid. It is, however, impossible to
give the number accurately because of
the heavy cloud through which the
moon shone but dully at the time of
the attack.
Some of the Missiles Incendiary
The noise of the propellers of the
airships was first heard shortly before
1 1 o'clock. Then came at once the
shock of the explosions as the bombs
rained down from above. Somo of the
missiles were incendiary and threw out
bright flares of light.
Crowds assembled in the streets of
South End to view the raider*. The
killing of Mrs. Fabin occurred while
the woman was leaving a street car. It
is retailed that on the previous raid
the only victim was a woijian.
British aeroplanes went up in pur
suit of the raiders but were not suc
cessful in overtaking them. Somo tjnie
later two Zeppelins were seen over
Burnhani-on-Crouch, seven miles to the
northeast of South lind, but no more
bombs were dropped.
Two Women Reported Killed
London, May 27, 11.50 A. M. —The
secretary of the admiralty has issued
a statement on the South End raid
which, contrary to the dispatch from
South End says two women were killed
in the air raid on that place last night.
It reads:
"Late last night a Zeppelin visited
the east roast, and bombs were drop
ped on South End. The casualties re
ported to-day are two women killed
and one child badly injured. Very lit
tle material damage was done. Aero
planes and seaplanes proceeded in pur
suit of the enemy but the Zeppelin suc
ceeded in escaping in an easterly direc
tion. ''
South Bnd, which is « municipal
borough and popular seaside resort at
the mouth of the Thames, forty miles
cast of London, has been the target of
Zeppelin raiders several times in the
past six months. On no previous occa
sions, however, have the results been
serious.
To Maintain Strict Neutrality
London, Muy 27.—Sweden, Norway
and Denmark have sent to Italy, Ger
many and Austria, following their

of the Scandinavian nations' determi
nation to imfintain strict neutrality.
LATE WARIEWS SUMMARY
Italian forces, pushing Into Austria
along the front running north of the
gulf of Triest, crossed the Isonzo river
to-day, after a sharp encounter. They
are now said to be within 30 miles of
Trieste. The Italians also are attacking
at several points farther north, along
the Carinthian frontier.
A squadron of 18 aeroplanes, carry
ing bombs were reported as having
struck into Germany to-day and per
formed one of the most spectacular
feats of the war. The raid was direct
ed at one of the principal manufactur
ers of explosives in Germany, on the
Rhine opposite Mannheim. The official
French statement says the attack was
successful and several buildings were
set on fire by the bombs.
