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

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:

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.

At the Democratic Congressions
al conference held at Tunkhannock
yesterday George W. Kipp, of
Towanda, was nominated as candi

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

terday and purchased firearms and

notified of the purchases and went

ITALIAN LABORERS
BACK BROKEN
He Was Struck by One of the
Big Concrete Buckets at To-
wanda this Morning
Suffering from a fracture of the
spinal column and a frightful lacers
ation of the scalp, an Italian whose
name could not be learned was
brought here this forenoon and
operated upon at the hospital, The
Italian had been employed for
some time on the construction
work at Towanda. 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.

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.
