In a Communication te The Record
| Special Ofiicer Says That He Has
| Not Negleeted His Duty.
Below Is printed a communication
from R. A. Holcomb, the West Sayre
special officer. who was relieved from
ithe force by Chief Walsh several
‘weeks ago The chief charged Hol-
comb with dereliction of duty and de-
‘manded his badge. The chief then
‘preferred charges against Holcomb
which were presented to the council
at the last meeting. During a dis-
cussion of the charges at the coun-
cil meeling, which promised to wax
exceeding hot, Holcomb suddenly ten-
dered his resignation. The following
i# the communication received from
Mr. Holcomb:
Editor Record
At the last council meeting held
February 4, Chief Walsh preferred
charges ugalnst me, which appeared
in the Sayre papers on the following
‘day. These charges may appear io
‘some to be true. | stated to the coun-
cil that | considered it only spite
work, and that I could clear myself
of all them. [ will try and do so and
not leave the people with only one
side of the story. In the first place
Chief Walsh came into my place on
December “18, and sald
acrosss the Susquehanna at Towan-
da, the fourth of the big girders was
yesterday morning SWung out across
the river and dropped into place
This will end the spectacular work
of holsting the girders for a few days,
for the efforts of the bridge men will
now be devoted to bracing up the 58-
ton stretches of steel. The strength
of each girder is seen In the fact that
as each one is projected, the heavy
traveler is run ont upon it with all
confidence
The Pheonix Bridge company,
whose immense plant is located at
Pheonixville, Pa. is one of the larg-
esl concerns outside of the Bridge
Trest and they have no thouble In se-
curing the most desirable contracts
because of the reputation of their
work. The Towanda bridge was built
by the Phoenix company from the
fron ore to the finished painted gird-
ers and those in charge of the work
state that the bridge will be one of
the most successful undertakings of
the company’s history :
EXPENSIVE “HOSE”
FOR CHEAP SHOES.
Eight lalians Paid $5 Each for Rub-
ber Tubing.
The sequel of the reported theft of
8 quantity of rubber air hose from
the Lehigh Valley, metioned in this
paper yesterday, came when Special
Officer T. B. Shaffer, accompanied by
Officer Douglass of Waverly, pre-
sented himself to the local officers
and enlisted their services in a search
of the Italians’ quarters in Wysox
The result of the visit to the box
cars where the foreigners reside was
the arrest of no less than eight of the
unfortunate laborers, upon whose feet
were found shoes that had been tap-
ped with rubber The men
great effort to avoid the officers, but
when brought before Justice Oreutt
each of the eight paid $5. The value
of the missing alr hose was placed at
$60
The “Gum Shoe” men
made bold to state that they had no
objection. to others than
wearing soft soles, but thought that
such expensive “hose” should not be
worn with such heavy shoes as the
foreigners had; four more of the of-
fenders are expected to be found at
Sayre. This class of thievery Is sald
to have heen going on for some time
past, and will be broken up —Towan-

I said to him: “The business men?
He said, “Yes-sir.”
I sald “if [that is a fact,

He said that it was a fact and when
he went out I drew up a writing and
went out and saw the business men
and here is what they signed:
