AVICOROS COMMUNICATION
The Record is in receipt of a
communication from a prominent
Sayre Republican in which the
writer vigorously denounces the
latest political chicanery of Boss
Lilley. The text of the communi-
cation voices the sentiment of a
large majorty of Sayre Republicans
but for the reason that the self-
appointed boss has received con-
siderable attention of late, together
with the fact that today’s space in

compelled to withhold the publi.

Tough Looking Character Appre-
bended Here Last Night and
Held to Court on Charge of
Vagrancy
A tough looking specimen of
humanity, who gave his name as
George Prentice, and residence
Susquehanna, this state, was arrest-
ed last night by Constable Spencer
Brougham on a charge of vagrancy.
Prentice had been hanging about
Sayre for several days, spending
the greater part of his time in the
vicinity of the shops, where it is
alleged he begged food of the shop
men, which was given him from
their dinner pails. Yesterday after-
noon, however, Prentice while
standing in front of lke Samuel's
Lockhart street jewelry store, is
alleged to have unfolded a plan to
a number of men and boys where-
by he intended to break in and rob
the store. He said that the job
would be an easy one and that he
had the tools for accomplishing the
same already in his possession
The men who heard the statement
informed Mr. Samuels and he went
at once to a local justice and
entered a complaint, charging the
man who had threatened to break
into the store with vagrancy. A
warrant was issued in the name of
the notorious “John Doe” and
placed in the hands of Constable
Brougham. The latter apprehended
the man at the Lehigh station and
brought him into court where he
pleaded not guilty and demanded a
hearing Witnesses testified to his
having begged from door to door,
and when he went on the stand in
his own defense the defendant
admitted not having worked for
the past month and that he had
since been begging his living at
Sayre and in other places. He was
held to the next court of quarter
sessions and in default of $200 bail
was taken to the county jail at
Towanda this morning,
Prentice, who says he is 18 years
old, was about the toughest looking
character that has come under the
notice of the local police authori-
ties in a long time. He admitted
having served three years in the
Rochester, N. Y , reformatory, and
said that he was sent there for the
reason that his parents could do
nothing with him, District Attor-
ney Mills, who conducted the case
for the commonwealth will look
into the young man's record, and
it is possible that a more serious
charge than vagrancy may be
brought against him when the
grand jury meets,

the effects of the various poisons

have given up hope call and inves-

The foregoing startling message
was placed in the hands of Ike
Samuels the LockhartSt, jeweler by
4 messenger boy in the early part
of last evening. The message was
enclosed in an official envelope
such as is used by telegraph com-
panies and was addressed to Mr.
Samuels. The messenger boy
hastily departed, and Mr. Samuels
tore the envelope open. As he
read the contents each separate
hair rose on end and the complex-
ton of his face changed from the
brunette to the blonde type. An
hour before he had caused a man
to be sent to jail for threatening to
rob his jewelry store and the
receipt of the message nearly
brought on cardiac failure. Visions
of dark browed sons of Italy armed

AN EXCELLENT COMPANY
Kirk Brown and a most excel-

performances at the Loomis yester-
day. The show is a popular price |
one but the price is the only cheap |
thing about it. The company is of |
the repertoire variety but the!
performances savor decidedly of
the high price character. The!

OLD RESIDENT HERE
Dr. D. G. Carey, who some |
twenty years ago conducted the!
G. E.S. S. medicine business at
| Waverly, stopped ovkr in Sayre |
between trains this morning and
made a brief call at The Record |
office. The doctor is now located
in Elmira, where he has a growing
medical practice. He was on his |
way to Towanda to visit his|
daughter, Mrs. L. D. Ayers, who is
ill at the home of her father-in-law,

{tenement, and he also wondered
| how he stood on the books of the
recording angel. When his nerves
had become somewhat steady he
devised a plan for action. Here
was a threat against his life and
property that must be thwarted at
once, ;
First he thought of the police,
but remembering the experience of
others who had received similar
communications he decided that to
tell the police would be fatal. So
he compromised by telling his
He found them ready to assist him,
and by g o'clock in the evening he
had answered many telephone calls
from various ones who assured
him that they would do all in their
power to help him in his trouble.
As time wore on, however, the
demon fear again took possession
of him and those that were with
him feared that he would collapse
By this time the story had been
passed from one to another uatil
nearly everyone in the business
town was offering
Mr. Samuels assistance. This did
not quiet his unstrung nerves but
The
night wore on and when 12 o'clock
had passed and no low browed men
with evil looks in their eyes had
appeared he breathed easier.
This morning the story was told
on the streets, and just before noon
a man with a cigar in his teeth, the
burning end pointing at an angle
of forty five degrees toward the
skies, and his coat tails flying in
the winter's breeze, rushed through
the park to the nearest telegraph
station. Under his arm was a
bundle of manuscript and a mo
ment later the wires were hot tell
ing to the world how a man in
Sayre, Bradlord county, Pa, had
been threatened by the black hand
unless he parted with $500, coin of
the realms By noon time, howev-
er, the bottom fell out of the story,
and it was learned that the entire
yarn was a practical joke which
had been played upon Mr, Samuels
by one of his personal friends
When he learned that he had been
the victim of jest, Mr. Samuel's face
assumed its normal color, the ten
sion of his nerves diminished, the
telegraph wires cooled off, and
everyone acquainted with the story
groped. It is thought that Mr.
Samuels will recover from the
shock with the use of sedatives.
WE DECLINE WITH THANIS
For the express information of
our esteemed contemporary, the
Bradford Weekly Argus, we desire
to state that so far as the Valley
Record is concerned neither its
editor nor publisher has any deslre
to enter the halls of Congress, nor
has either one of them any designs
on one of Uncle Sam's postoffice
jobs,
,
yond endurance. He is in for any-
thing that puts his political heelers
in office and increases taxation.
New offices are created and sala-
ries increased from year to year
while we farmers with good farms
cannot pay expenses and are living
from hand to mouth, and this
horde of hungry officials are living
in luxury. There is no sense in a
man becoming rich out of a county
office in one term. When we
farmers find a noxious weed grow-
ing in the soil we pull it up and
then salt the holes so that it can
never take root again.
This is the method we should
take with the boss. He is an oily
tongued autocrat that will flop
around and take a different track
when he finds popular sentiment is
turned against him. You will find
him on both sides of the fence try~
ing to ride two horses at once or
any other old nag that will further
his political ambitions. Now is a
good time to end his political rule
while the tide of revolt is flowing
over the state. Let us do it now
Wc must serve a boss as we do
noxious weeds; not only pull him
up by the roots but salt the hole
so he will never sprout again.
