Tax Collector Plumstead is get-

MAN MISSING
Albert H. Otis, a Bradford
county farmer who lives near To-
wanda, has been missing since
Saturday and his family are becom-
ing alarmed. Otis went to the
county seat on Saturday forenoon.
Saturday night at 11 o'clock he
left the home of Sherman McCor-
mick in that place and has not been
seen since. It is said that he
intended to board a train for Rum-
merfield. The night station agent
at East Towanda says that a man
answering Otis’ description jumped
aboard a freight train on Sunday
morning, but further than this the
man’s family have been unable to
find any trace of him. He has five
children and they are of the opin-
ion that he has met with foul play.
MN. BROWN'S REPUTATION
The “Binghamton and Elmira
papers speak in glowing terms of
Kirk Brown and his company
which is booked for the Loomis
this evening. The company is
declared to be the best popular
price organization that has yet
appeared in either of these cities
and the theatre-goers have simply
gone wild over the performances
In Binghamton Mr. Brown played
a two weeks’ engagement and each
night the Stone opera house was
packed to its capacity. A large
crowd went to the Loomis this]
afternoon to witness the matinee |
performance and the indications |
are that the house will be packed |
again tonight.
FALLING OFF IN TRAFFIC
Since the close of the holiday |
scason there has been a. decided |
falling off in freight and passenger
traffic on the Lehigh Valley, as well |
as nearly. all other railroad lines |
The ensuing six or eight weeks |
will probably be distressingly quict
in railroad matters, and in fact all
other kinds of business will suffer
an appreciable falling off In|
March, however, the railroads will
experience a rush of business and
when the railroads are busy it can
be almost itively asserted that
and which went into effect on the |
first of the month, was one requir- |

HITE IT WYO
Hostlery Completely Burned to
the Ground and Serious Con-
flagration Is Averted Only by
Snow Covered Roofs
Wysox suffered a disastrous fire
yesterday dfternoon, when the
Dougherty house was burned to
the ground, and had it not been for
a fall of snow the night previous,
which protected the roofs of the
adjoining buildings, a much larger
conflagration would have resulted
I'he hotel caught fire in the attic
from a defective chimney, and as
the town is without organized fire
protection, it burned to the ground
quickly. The male portion of the
inhabitants of the place devoted
their cfforts to saving buildings
adjacent to the hotel and by a dint
of hard work were successful.
The loss will probably reach
$3,000, which is partly covered by
insurance. Coggswell and Swingle,
former residents of Towanda, were
the proprietors of the burned hotel.

in order that the grave digger
