James Smith Begins Action In Tres-
pass Against T. P, Maney of
This Place
afternoon in the court of
common pleas of Bradford county T.
P. Maney, the well known contractor
of this place, was made the defendant
in a suit for damages, James Smith
of Athens township being the
plaintiff. He asks for damages in the
sum of $10,000. The sult is the result
of a contract which was entered into
between Maney and Smith over a year
ago. Mr. Maney owns a tract of wood
land just across the Susquehanna riv-
er. Smith. who is well along in years,
contracted to clear a strip of this
wood land 200 feet back from the riv-
er. After it was cleared he was to
seed it and then if he did the work
according to the terms of the contract
he was to have still another strip to
clear. Mr. Maney claims that Smith
aa not fulfill the terms of his first
{agreement and that therefore he did
not enter into a second contract with
Smith. The latter, however, is alleg-
jed to at various times gone on to
Maney's property and cul trees and
timber not. included In the original
contract. He was notified, according
{to Mr. Maney, to keep off the property
{but he failed to heed the notice. Last
fall Mr. Maney went before Justice
Carey and caused a warrant to be is-
sued, charging larceny. The case
went before the grand jury, ‘but as
{Mr. Maney did not press the charges
no indictment was found. Smith, it
is alleged, persisted in going on the
property and cut timber and carried
it away. On December 12 Smith and
Arthur Munn went on to the property
and began cutting trees. They were
arrested while loading the trees on
a wagon, charged with larceny. On
this charge they were discharg®® but
were held to Tourt on a charge of cut-
ting and felling timber trees without
the knowledge and consent of the
owner of the property and carrying
the same away.
Mr. Smith alleges that he has not
exceeded his contract, and on account
{of Mr. Maney’'s interferring with his
{completing it, he asks for damages.
iI. A. McPherson of Towanda. and
[Laws & Winlack of this place, are at-
itorneys for Mr. Smith. The outcome

|MANEY & PAGE SELL
| CLOTHING BUSINESS.
Take Possession on March 1st.
Maney & Page, the well known
{clothlers who Lave conducted business
on lower Desmond street since 1599,
have disposed of their stock of goods
to John A. Ruggles of Athens. The
terms for the sale were made yester-
day but Mr. Ruggles will not take
possession until the first of March
next
Maney & Page are also conducting
a clothing store at Athens, and their
business has grown to a point where
they are no longer able to give both
places the attention that they deserve
Therefore they have disposed of thelr
clothing siock in this place to Mr
Ruggles. They will thus be able to
devole their entire time and attention |
to the Athens store, which Is regarded |
as one of the finest in this section
Maney & Page began business In
{Athens in 1897 when they bought out
the J. W. Carroll store. In 1889 they
came to Sayre and located in the
{Glazer block. Three years ago thes
erected a fine brick block on Des-
mond street. They Installed a fine
line of clothing and gents’ furnishings
and have since continued to conduct
a first-class up-to-date clothing em-
porium. They have made hosts of
friends who will regret to learn that
they have decided to discontinue busi-
ness here
Their successor Mr. Ruggles is a
ness in Athens and several years ago
sold out to Kiff & Stacy. Since then
however, he has been travelling on |
the road as a commercial man He
will follow the same policy Inaugur-|
ated by Maney & Page, and give to
the people of Sayre a first-class cloth-
Ing store in every respect. Mr Rug-
Igles will form a partnership with M
F. Mee, who has for six years been
employed as a clerk by Maney & Page|
The fact that Mr. Mee Is to remain In|
Sayre, and as a member of the new |
firm, will Le particularly gratifying

er Has to Offer.
A force of salesmen, representing
A western hardware house, has invad-
ed Bradford county, for the purpose
of relling s'eel ranges. The salesmen,
it Is said, propose to make a complete
canvass of this county, and will visit
every house. They will dispose of as
many stoves as possible, give to the
purchaser a guarantee with each stove
and then move on to new territory.
Today's Towanda Review contains
a half column article on the subject
of the invasion and offers some ex-
cellent suggestions. Assuring (ts
readers that it has no objection to
their buying what they please or of
whom they | lease, the Review, however
believes it plain duty to open the eyes
of prospective purchasers Before
purchasing a stove of a foreign con-
cern, first go and Inspect the stock
carried by your local dealer. Then
compare the stoves and the prices
with the goods and figures offered by
the travelling salesmen. Nine times
out of the purchaser will arrive
at the conclusion that money can be
saved by buying at home. The local
merchant, too, is easily found when
you want him, and Is there to make
good. If the article you buy of him
Is not satisfactory. Look Into this
before you buy a stove

ed to be Lower of attorney for the

Engineer Claims a Considerable
Amount (‘an Be Saved by Altering
Plans.
The boruogh council was to have
held a meeting last night but as a
quorum falled to show up the meet-
ing was adjourned until mext week.
A few of the members met at the
Packer hose rooms, among them be-
ing Borough Engineer Walker, and
although there was no regular meet-
Ing the sewer project was discussed
by those who were present Engin-
eer Walker unfolded a plan which by
changing the present route of the
proposed sewer will save the borough
in the neighborhood of $400.
According to the present plans the
sewer will pass under the Lehigh
den, over Hayden to Desmond street,
along Desniond street to Lehigh aven-
te, and thence up the latter thorough-
fare to the trolley bridge. Mr. Walk-
er's new pinn, however, is to have the
Sewer go over Hayden street to El-
ner avenues, thence along Elmer avey-
ue to Lockhart stree!, which will save
about 360 feet of pipe. While it will
be easier to excavate on Desmond
street than it will on Elmer avenue,
it is claimed that the difference in
the amount of pipe to he furnished
will cause a saving of nearly $400
The propose change in the route will
probably come up at the next meet-
ing of the council. It is expected. too,
that the matter will be in shape for
final disposition. Those Interested in
the sewer would like to see the work
commenced before spring

equal to the gladsome occasion, and
gallantly escorted his fair constitu

colleagues looked on in envy It is
needless to say that the young wom

Nhe occasion. Not a few of them told
Mr. Lilley that his defeat was “just
horrid,” and that they would make
it their particular business “that

that he's mighty sorry that they
