tense
S. McA. Ford, who was arrested
at Towanda by Constable Guy
Hollon on a charge of false pres

Ford and others with conspiracy
and false pretense in representing
themselves to be working for the
government under the sanction of
Congressman Lilley. Ford was

CARD OF THANKS
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Rymell
wish to thank their kind friends
the recent
Wyil Known Towanda Lawyer
Shot Himself at His Home in
That Place at an Early Hour
This Morning
Stanley W. Little, Esq, for
twenty five years a practicing law-
yer in the courts of Bradford coun-
ty, and one of the best knowa men
in this section, shot himself with a
thirty two calibre revolver at his
home on Main street, Towand, this
morning about 6 o'clock. Death
ensued almost instantly. The
barrel of the revolver had been
placed in the mouth and the ball
tore an ugly hole in the roof of the
mouth and lodged in the brain,
The news of Mr. Little's rash
citizens of Towanda Since the
sudden death of his son George at
Philadelphia a short time ago Mr
Little has been in failing health
At times he was morose and had
but little to say to his friends
Recently his close friends have
noticed that his mind was becom-
ing unbalanced. Some time ago
he suffered financial reverses and
this, added to his son's death, has
tended to aggravate his condition
Yesterday he went to Canton to
visit his daughter. He returned
in the evening and it is said that
after he returned he acted in an
unusually strange manner. He
retired at about his usual hour
and appeared to sleep well until
about 6 o'clock this morning,
when it is alleged he procured a
revolver and went to the room
where his wife was sleeping and
threatened to shoot her. Just what
caused him to change his mind will
perhaps never be known; but at
any rate he returned to his own
bedroom, placed the barrel of the
gun in his mouth and pulled the
trigger. Chief of Police Miller was
immediately notified and when he
arrived at the house he called Dr.
Leonard Pratt. The latter came at
once, but after making an examina.
tion stated that Mr. Little had
probably died instantly.
Stanley W. Little was a member
of the law firm of S. W. & W. Lit.
tle, and he had long been promi-
nent in public affairs of this county,
He was nearly Go years of age and
had been identified with the inter-
ests of the county since attaining
his majority. At one time he was
a candidate for county ‘judge mak~
ing the canvass against Judge Fan-
ning. He was a lawyer of ability
and respected by all who knew him
as a man of honesty and strict in
tegrity. His death by his own hand
will be sincerely regretted by a
large circle of friends throughout
Bradford county.

CHILD DIES OF
SUARLET FEVER
Two Other Children in the Same
Family Ill of the Disease and
the Death of One Is Hourly
Expected
Elizabeth, aged 4, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Henry of
406 Lincoln street, died last night
at 11 o'clock of scarlet fever. The
child was attacked by the malady
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock,
and despite the efforts of physicians
death ensued at the hour above
stated. Cora, aged 6, a sister of
the dead child, is ill of the disease
and her death is hourly expected
This morning Edith, a twelve-
year-old daughter, came down
with the disease. Mrs. Heney is in
delicate health and the condition of
the family has aroused the sympa-

WE'RE NOT YEARNING
Somewhere in the newspapers or
magazines we have noticed an an-
nouncement in which it is stated
that the name of Hon. Mial E Lil-
ley, congressman from this district,
is being prominently mentioned in
connection with the chairmanship
of the Republican state committee.
The announcement even goes so
far as to say that the honorable
gentleman has been slated for the
position, and refers to him as a log
rolling politician. In another sec-
tion of the state where the gentle.
man is not known the members of
the party may be yearning for him
to take the job but here in this
section where his political record is
known from alpha to omega, there
is not a single yearn. In this par-
{ticular neck o' the woods the Hon.
| Mial is as dead as a rusty door
(nail, and hasn't enough following
{left to give him a decent political
burial.

MINOR ACCIDENTS
John N. Vandermark, a boiler-
maker's helper, suffered a lacera-
of the left hand yesterday after-
noon. He was lifting a flue from
a boiler and his hand got caught.
He was treated at the hospital.
R. E. Reilly, a machinist caught
his little finger in the gearing of a!
laceration.
CHILD BURNED TO DEATH
In a fire that for atime threaten
ed to wipe out the business portion
of Mauch-Chunk, Marie, the four-
August Mahler, was burned to
death. The fire started in the
Mahler home while the children
were alone, The origin of the
fire is not known.
bound track An explosion of the
powder followed the collision, in
which the firemen and engineer
were fearfully burned, the cab of
the engine demolished and the bag
gage, cxpress and mail coaches
badly blistered
The details of the accident are
ito the effect that just a few minutes
| previous to the passenger train's
being duc a man in the employ of
|a blasting powder company drove
{a wagon loaded with the explosive
lon to the tracks. The wagon got
|across the eastbound track in safety
‘but when the westbound tracks
| were reached the forward wheels
|tadged against one of the rails and
| although the driver exerted every
| effort to induce the team to drag
|the wagon from the track he: was
| unsuccessful. Knowing that the
passenger would be due in afew
| minutes, and after having again
tried to get the team to draw the
wagon from the tracks, the driver
unhitched the horses and drove
them to a place of safety, leaving
the wagon and its load of explosive
standing in the center of the tracks
The engine of th: passenger
struck the wagon squarely in the
center, and the powder, which was
being carried in large cans, ignited
from sparks from the firebox of the
engine, and instantly there was an
explosion. A cloud of dust accom
panied by a sheet of flame com~
pletely filled the engine cab and
both the engineman and fireman
sustained painful burns. The wag
on was reduced to an unrecogniz-
able mass and the front and sides
of the engine were more or less
damaged from the heat and force
of the explosion. While badly
shaken up, none of the passengers
sustained serious injuries.
“ PING-EVE" PREVALENT
There is an outbreak of the mal-
ady known as the “pink eye” in
many sections of the state. The
disease is one that affects both man
and beast. The eyes become in-
flamed and painful and sometimes
the affection does not yield readily
to treatment. School children are
quite likely to contract the disease,
and in many instances the disease
goes through entire families. “Pink-
cye"” is not a serious disease, how-
cver, as it does not impair the sight
nor does it prove fatal.
