| ORRSIES THE NEWS
It Does Not Have a “Special |
Representative’ at Every Cor- |
ner of the Globe, But It Gets
the News When It Is Fresh
The story in yesterday's Record
of the appalling disaster which oc-
curred in San Francisco yesterday
morning, when the city was prac-
tically ruined, was so far asthe
salient features were, concerned,
equal to the accounts published in
the city dailies. Except so far as
the loss of life is concerned, and
which the telegraphic dispatches
this morning show has been ma-
terially decreased, The Record's
story of the disaster was remarkably
accurate as to the statement of
facts. The Record was not fortun-
— | ate enough to have a special repre-
sentative in San Francisco, =o that
it did not receive a “special” com-
munication, but the story was writ-
ten in our owa office, the facts
therefore being kindly furnished by

Shot Down at Montour Falls on
Sunday Evening Last.
Fred Diokerson, a former Le.
high Valley ticket agent, who was
employed by the company at Itha-
ca, was murdered at Montour Falls
on Sunday evening. Fred Scobey
is under arrest charged with the
murder. The murder of Dicker-
son is surrouaded in mystery. On
Sunday evening a man and woman
were out driving near Montour
Falls. The woman's husband
approached the carriage and'fired
five shots into the buggy but none
of them took effect. Later in the
evening the same man met Dicker-
son on the street and fired at him
with a revolver. The shot wounded
Dickerson so badly that he died
shortly afterward. The man then
proceeded to pound Dickerson
with the butt of the weapon. The
man who did the shooting proved
to be Scobey and it is said that
Dickerson is the min who was out

ANUETY FELF HERE
Considerable anxiety is felt in
Sayre among those who have
friends and relatives in California,
and particularly in San Francisco,
which was visited by an awful
calamity. W. S. Wright, the well
known Elmer avenuc grocer, has
several relatives in the unfortunate
city, and there are also ceveral
others whose relatives reside in
that place. Whether any of these
have been injured is not known at
the present time, as the wires run-
mng into San Francisco are all
down and detailed information is
not obtainable.
