Early Morning Blaze Effectively
Extinguished by Prompt Work
of Firemen
Prompt and effective action on
the part of the firemen averted
what might have proven a serious
conflagration at the corner of
North River and East Lockhart
street shortly after 6 o'clock this
morning. and as it was the interior
of the small cigar and candy store
located at the comer mentioned
was entirely gutted by the devour-
ing element and the building
adjoining it on the west somewhat |
scorched.
The building is a small two story |
wooden structure and is owned and
occupied by W. E. Masteller who
carried a stock of cigars, tobacco
and candy valued at about £600.
This morning a few minutes after
the 6 o'clock whistle blew Sam
Leah, a shop employe, who was
returning home from work, noticed |
smoke issuing from the windows
of the building. He aroused Mr.
Masteller, the proprietor of the
store, who occupies the building
next to the store, and then turned
in an alarm of fire. The firemen
responded with promptness and
when they arrived the entire inter-
ior of the building was a mass of
flames. The flames had also brok-
en out through the windows and
doors in the rear of the building
and threatened the adjoining build |
ing which stands in close proximi- |
ty. The firemen lost no time and
in an incredibly short time had a
stream playing on the burning
building. As the flames were
mostly confined to the inside of]
the structure the firemen were not
long in getting them under control
The prompt work of the firemen,
however, probably prevented a dis
astrous fire, as the buildings in
the neighborhood are all wooden
structures and as dry as tinder.
A machine for popping corn and
roasting peanuts, which is said to
have cost $300, was the only arti-
cle of value saved from the burning
building. The machine was badly
damaged and it is doubtful if it can
ever be used again.
The loss on the building is esti-
mated at about $1,000 which is
partly covered by insurance,
The origin of the fire is un
known. There was a fire in a
heating stove on the second floor
but Mr. Masteller says that when
he closed the store last night it was
very low. Whether it caught from
this stove or from defective electric
light wiring is not definitely known.
MORE MISSING GOODS
In making an inventory of their
stock Bolton Brothers have dis-
covered that a mackintosh, an
overcoat and a shooting coat are
missing and were probably taken
by the thief who robbed their store
on Saturday night last. The
recent discovery will bring their
loss up to $200 instead of $150 as
heretofore stated. Despite the
fact that several clues have been
followed the party or parties who |
robbed the store are still at large,
and from present indications it is
doubtful if they are ever appre-
hended.

HUNTER'S HORRIBLE DEATH
Alonzo léndricks, a well known
resident of Newfield, met a horri-
ble death near Ithaca yesterday
afternoon while hunting. His
skull was Ierally crushed by a
heavy limb which fell from a tree
under which he was standing. Al-
though he was picked up for dead
he lingered for nearly nine hours
suffering intensely.

A man dressed in the garb of a

at the rate of 20 miles an hour,
sped past the station and the man
attempted to board it. He grasped |
one of the side handles on a box
car but evidently lost his grip as he
was thrown under the wheels and
his body was dragged from in front
of the station to the east end of
the bridge. The lower part of the
face was literally tom away, the
right leg was cut off and a piecegof
it carried a considerable distance
down the tracks. The trunk was
cut to pieces and the man's entrails
were strung along the ground for
several rods,
The man was evidently about 22
years of age, stockily built, had
sandy complexion and his hair was
close cut. He was dressed in a
lumberman’s garb of blue and black
plaid flannel shirt, with black coat
and wore an extremely heavy pair
There was abso-

which he could be identified. The
only articles found in his clothes
were a pocket knife, an empty
purse and a package of cigarettes,

NORMAL CONDITIONS
The Sayre merchants have re-
sumed closing their stores in the
evening. There were no stores
open last night and but very few
people on the street. Trade con-
ditions have assumed a nomal con-
dition and from now on until
spring business is expected to be
rather quiet. The wise advertiser,
however, will not be affected by
quict trade conditions. A liberal
use of printer's ink, especially if
the same is spread in the columns
of The Record, will do business at
any season of the year.
VOTERS WILL SETTLE IT

ber of townships in the western
prt of the county will do away

road taxes in rural districts and

W. G. Gordon will succeed Cap-
tain Andrew Wilt in the office of
prothonotary. Mr. Wilt has made
an admirable official and retires
|with a clean slate. His successor
is well known to nearly every resi-
dent of Bradford county, and judg
ing from his past record he will
make a satisfactory and obliging
office
In the register and recorder's

genial and competent official, who
has satisfied his constituents and

a pleasant young man, capable and

will make a first class man for the
place he is to occupy.
John D. Kinney retires from the
board of commissioners after near-

succeeded by L.. H. Marsh, a
young man who has many friends
and plenty of attractive qualities

He has practical knowledge as a

benefit to him in his new position.
The board of auditors will find him
a valuable acquisition
A glance at the above list of
officers who will take their respect-
ive positions on the first day of the
new year the observer will note
that the voters of Bradford county
have chosen wisely and well and
{that every one of the new officials
are men upon whom the people at
large can implicitly rely.
RETURNING FROM THE WEST
Hon. Frank N. Moore of North
Orwell, ex-member of the legis
lature from Bradford county, made
a pleasant call at The Record office
this afternoon. Mr. Moore recent-
ly returned from Joplin, Mo. where
he has large property intesests. He
speaks in the highest terms of
business conditions in that section
of the great west, as well as other
places where he has visited during
his absence.
JUST A REMINDER
The person who is given the
wrong number by the central tele-
phone operator and then in a blunt
disgruntled tone of voice says to
the person who perhaps has laid
aside his work to answer the call,
“I didn't want you," should remem-
ber that there may be something in
the old orthodox idea of eternal
damnation.
FREIGHT CAR ROBBED
