INKNONY MAN HT
BY LEHICH TRAN
Sustains Frightful Fracture of
the Skull and Will Probably
Not Recover
At 615 o'clock this morning
BJ4,a Lehigh Valley eastbound
freight train, struck an unknown
man while passing under the Erie
bridge just north of this place. The
man was walking along the cast
bound track going in the same di-
rection as the freight. As he
passed under the bridge an Erie
freight was also passing over the
bridge. At that moment BJ4 came
up behind the man and on account
of the rumbling noise made by the
train passing overhead he did not
hear the engineer's warning signal.
The pilot struck him and threw his
body to one side of the track.
When the trainmen reached him
he was blceding from a terrible
crush in the forehead, but he was
still alive. The injured man was
placed on a switch engine and
brought to the local station from
which place he was taken to the
hospital in the ambulance. An
examination by the surgeons dis~
closed the fact that he was suf
fering from a severe fracture on
the left side of the forehead and
a number of minor bruises. His
recovery is in doubt.
Later—This afternoon the injurs
ed man was identified As Bert
Towpgsend, an air brake inspector
for the Lehigh who lives at East
Waverly. He was on his way to
work when he met with the acci-
dent,

Man Wanted by New York State
Authorities is Located in Sayre
by Chief Walsh
A man who gave his name as
Charles White and then changed it
to William Ferris was arrested last
night together with another. man
who says his name is Earl Leach.
Both men were wanted in connect-
ion with a horse stealing affair
which occured near Dryden, N.Y,
one day last week. The two men
were found at the Brundage House
by Chief Walsh, the latter having
received information from the New
York state authorities to take the
men in custody and hold them.
When arrested both men claimed
that they were not the men wanted
but that they could take the Chief
to Waverly and in that place locate
the guilty man as they were to met
the man at Dell Vaughn's saloon.
The chief accompanied the men to
Waverly and leaving White in
Vaughn's saloon he went with
Leach to find the other fellow.
Once outside of the saloon, Leach
declared that White was really the
guilty party. Officer Corcoran
was then called and White was
again placed under arrest and is
now in the borough lockup at Wa-
verly.
Leach was releasad, he having
satisfied the officers that he was in
no way connected with the affair.

long term man whom they could
put to work on the office books
and as Casey is possessed ofa
good education it is thought that
he will fill the bill. He will be
given an opportunity at least and
if he “makes good” the job will be
his. It will mean that he will get
better food than the other prison
ers, will have more liberties, and
will be allowed the privilege of us-

wigh an education is on top of the
heap, even if in prison.

J. H Rush of Canandaigua, a
promoter of acetylene gas plants,
appeared before the council with a
petition signed by 72 residents of
Sayre asking for a franchise to es-
tablish a plant in Sayre borough.
Mr. Rush also presented a fran-
chise which he had prepared for
the purpose and asked that the
council take action in the matter
at once. He also exhibited a lamp
and gave a practical demonstration
of the light furnished by acetylene
While making the demonstration,
the illuminating gas in the council
chamber for some unknown reason
refused to burn, and had it not been
for the brilliant rays of the demon-
strator’s lamp the room would have
been in total darkness, The re-
quest of Mr. Rush was referred to
a committee consisting of Couucil-
men West, Lacey and Ademy:.
A petition from the Sayre Heat,
Light & Power company, signed
by a number of citizens, asking for
a franchise to do business in Sayre
was also presented to the council
and the matter was referred.
Residents residing in the vicinity
of Woodward and Hopkins street
reported that no light had been
placed atthe corner of the streets
mentioned although one had been
ordered some time ago. The resi-
dents stated that the corner was
still in darkness and asked the
council to shed a little light on the
subject,
