M. Driggs Prosctiption Druggist y NS ———— Sayre, Pn, The Valley Record FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1008, ~ Residents of the southern part floor. Summer ends officially today. The heat, however, promises to do business at old stand. Despite the incessant: rain the majority of the visiting firemen managed to have a good time. The chestnut crop promises to be large. Farmers say the trees are not only loaded with burrs, but that the nuts are of large size, The carnival grounds were pack- ed with humanity last night. The various shows did a thriving busi- ness and the management and the Packer hose company will come out big winners, Word was received here this morning of the sudden death of Mrs. Ethlyn Holzback Steward of Aurora, Ill. The deceased is a niece of Mrs. Charles Burton and attended school here at one time, Yesterday's Record was the first paper in the valley to appear on the streets. Several hundred copies were placed in the hands of news boys and they disposed of them like hot cakes on a frosty morning. A never failing sign of the ap- proach of colder weather is the ap- pearance of a flock of wild geese high in the air and flying south £5 chi Terrific Downpour Mars But Does Not Prevent Yesterday's Big Event Despite a terrific downpour of rain the Valley Firemen's Associa- tion and their invited guests pa- raded the streets of Sayre ycster. day afternoon, and when ranks were broken those who had par- ticipated were drenched to the skin. Jupiter Pluvius began to do business in the early hours of the morning, and a half hour after it began raining the thick dust in the streets of Sayre had been changed into mud. With the exception of two or three brief intervals rain fell until the early hours of the evening, and at times it looked as if the big parade might be abandoned. Shortly before the hour of four, however, the rain ceased falling and it was decided to form the line and move over the principal thor- oughfares on the sidewalks, Within five minutes after the start was made rain began falling in torrents. The firemen braved the elements, however, and covered several of the principal streets, without re- gard to the program which had been previously arranged. When they returned to their various headquarters they were wet through and through. Although the rain was badly needed it spoiled what would have been the greatest firemanic event ever seen in Sayre, The local fire- men for weeks have worked almost night and day to make the fifth an- nual parade of the association a success. The details had been care. fully arranged, the business places and many private residences had been handsomely and appropriate- ly decorated, but the fates in the shape of an unlooked for storm, o a distinctly local nature, marred the pleasures of the day. The firemen, however, are de- serving of unlimited praise for what they did under the circum. stances, and although there was no attempt to carry out the regular program, so far as the line of march was concerned, the big crowd which had gathered from far and near, were apparently satisfied and lavished unstinted praise upon the firemen for doing the best they could. All of the out ofstown companies that had accepted invitations, res sponded, in spite of the disagree- able weather, The famous Ex empts of Elmira, accompanied by the Northern Central band, arrived here carly in the forenoon. This organization is composed of men well along in years, and they made a fine appearance. Towanda and Laceyville organ- izations arrived later in the day, and at noontime all of the visitors were being well cared for by the local firemen. The parade was scheduled to take place at three o'clock, but it was the hour of four when the Ex- empts took their places at the head of the line. The rain them had ceased falling, but almost at the in- stant the signal was given to start the skies poured forth another deluge The following was the order of the parade: FIRST DIVISION.

Sayre Hose, "OTH CHGS His Sister-in-law Secures One and His Mother-in-law the Other Fred Decker was arraigned before Justice Nelson this moming on a charge of making threats. The complainant in the case is Mrs. Louise Thompson, the mother of Decker's wife, She alleges that her son-in-law tnreatened her with per- sonal violence, Last night Decker's sister-in law, Miss Caroline Thompson, secured a warrant for his arrest, charging him with choking his wile, but when he was arrested his better half did not wish to prosecute. Her mother thought differently, hence the second warrant for surety of the peace. Decker, it is alleged, filled up with booze yesterday, and then went to his home ani proceeded to play rough house. He is said to have taken his wife by the neck and choked her good aad hard. The charges against Decker were withdrawn this moraing. IPP NOMINATED BY THE DEMOCRATS Congressional Conference Was Held at Tunkhaaonock Yester- day Afternoon At the Democratic Congressions al conference held at Tunkhannock yesterday George W. Kipp, of Towanda, was nominated as candi date for congress from this district. Yesterday's Record exclusively foretold Mr Kipp's nomination. Immediately after the confer~ ence the Lincoln Republicans met in convention and endorsed the Hon. Mial E. Lilley, the present congressman, The Bradford dele~ gation, however, refused to abide by the decision of the convention and endorsed Mr. Kipp. BUYS THE HOYT FARM Yesterday afternoon Paul E. Maynard, the well known attorney purchased from L. T. Hoyt the latter's farm situated just across the river east of Athens. The farm implements, stock, etc., are also included in the purchase and Mr. Maynard will take possess- ion as soon as Mr. Hoyt can vacate. The latter will move his family to the Ovenshire house on Main street, Athens. The farm which he has sold to Mr. Maynard is ope of the most attractive couns try places in this section. It con- sists of about 38 acres of land under a fine state of cultivation, which has recently been used for truck gardening, The house, while of an old fashioned type, has been extensively altered by Mr. Hoyt and is regarded by those who are acquainted with its in terior as being one of the finest country seats in this section. “KING KELLEY" “King Kelley,” once a noble Thespian, but whose time is now occupied in putting down whiskey, made a pilgnmage to Sayre yes- terday, but before the hours, of evening grew late the king of all the tramps found himself an in- mate of the borough bug house. The “king” had become helplessly drunk and was placed in durance vile for sale keeping. This morning he was released and told to hie himself to Ithaca, where he claims a voting residence, MORE BLOODSHED FEARED As a result of the Italian diss turbances which occurred at Wysox on Wednesday a number of the foreigners went to Towanda yes- terday and purchased firearms and wéapoas of all sorts. The Lehigh Valley officers at this place were notified of the purchases and went to Wysox, where further trouble is NOMINATE a Busy One for This Excellent Organization Although there were many out side attractions last night there was Sayre Lodge, No. 1090, I.

This morning he was engaged in emptying one of the big buckets which carry concrete to the piers of the new bridge. After the bucket was emptied it swung to and fro, and before the Italian could get out of the way it struck him on the head, knocking him down, He fell against a pile of timbers and it is presumed that in the fall his back was broken. Surgeons at the hospital express but slight hope for his recovery. a—— ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY About 8 o'clock last night Mrs. Ella Williams, who lives with her brother, E. M. Thompson, at the corner of Spring and Bradford streets, became alarmed at a noise she heard in the rear of the house, The noise sounded as if a man was walking on the roof of the summer kitchen. She informed Mr, Thompson, who made an in- vestigation. He went to the rear of the house, but in the darkness could see nothing. This morning Mr. Thompson investigated again. This time he discovered that sever- al pickets had been broken from the fence back of the house, and the tracks of a man were also found in the mud. A window in the main part of the house was open and from tracks found on the roof it is believed that a man had entered the window. but had be come frightened and ran away.
