The last Elmira Trlryrum gives a picture
of Chief of Police BURNS, of this place with
the following biographical sketch:
In a pleasant valley at the foot of Elk
mountain, in Susquehanna county, Pennsyl
vania. the subject >f this sketch first, saw the
light, September 16. 1839. His mother came
of good old Puritan stock, and was.a woman
of strong and noble eharae er. His father
was of Scotch-Irian descent. With the mus
cles of an athlete he hail the courage of the
pioneer. Until twenty-one years of age.
Burns lived and worked on a farm. To his
active out-door life he owes iu a measure, the
splendid phy-'que and iron constitution that
i ave so we I 11 ed him to p rform tie
trving duties of h : * af'cr years. In D •
ceuiher. 1872. Mr. Bums, who was living on
u farm in Smithfield, was solicited by the
Burgess to come to Towanda and perform
police duties for four months. At the expi
ration of that time he was offered the position
of Chief of Police, which he accepted. For
nearlv nine years he has proved himself a
faithful and efficient officer. There were dif
ficulties attending a discharge of the duties
of the office, at that time, that have wholly
disappeared. Fires and robberies have grealv
diminished in frequency. It is a significant
fact that three tlmea aa many arrests were
made in 1872 as in 1880. Towanda is now as
orderly a town as any of its size in the State.
Officer Burns' courage, perseverance ami
success in following and bringing criminals
to justice, have become almost proverbial.
He has been instrumental in hunting up and
returning about fifty stolen horses, and near
ly aIWHNs succeeded in bringing the thieves
to trial. In 1872. Officer Burns arrested the
notorious "butter thief," named Roeers.aL'as
Caswell, who had committed a series of dar
ing deprsdations in Southern New York and
Northern Pennsylvania Rogers went liter
ally "armed to the teeth" Rnd grew so bold as
to defv arrest. One horse snd buggy stolen
bv Ruggers, was traced to Bradford county.
Pa., and fouud in possession of "Josh," the
Oipsev King. The latter who passed through
Tow unda oacasionallv, has since cherished a
wholesome respect for Officer Burns'a ilitv
to detect the receiver of stolen property.
The "butter thief" was confined to the Au
burn penitentiary for twelve years. On the
4tli of July, 1877, while quelling a riot in the
streets of Towanda, thief Burns was assaul
ted by : drunken and infuriated mob. In
self-defence, and in protecting the lives and
property of law-abiding citizens, he futally
shot one of his assailants ami slightly woun.
ded another. The rogues who had hereto
fore "run the town" on circus davs. were
taught a valuable lesson No such disgrace
ful riot lias been attempted since that time.
In April, 1876, Offie r Burns was commis
sioned by Governor llartranft, as Railroad
Police, on the Northern division of the Le
high Valley railway, lie has been verv suc
cessful in guarding the interests of the
company and is deserving the confidence or
railway officials. In Novomlcr. 1878, Chief
Burns was appointed Deputy United States
Marshal for the Northern District of Penn
syvania. Ilis skill in detecting counterfeiters
and "pulling" illicit distilleries has demon
strated his superior sagacity as a detective
and his fearless daring as aa officer.
