Mrs. George Sluyter, the bride of

‘ried to the office of Constable Guy
iHollon. She asked Mr Hollon If he
‘had been to Sayre to arrest her, and

Sha ha= been married only about four
weeks, and is apparently subject to
fits which attack her with _alarming
frequency. [It is hoped that the au-
ithorities will make provisions for her
future, as she certainly needs care
The local police officials are of the
iopinion that Mrs. Sluyter is an impos-
‘ter and that she has an object in
feigning fits. When she went to To-
‘wanda yesterday morning she was ac-
companied by a detective from the
special officers’ office. After arriv-
‘fog at the upper station a hack was
secured and the woman stated that
she desired to be taken to the home
of her husband's sister. The driver
of the hack was given the necessary
directions, but when they arrived at
her sister-in-law’s home the latter
met Mrs Slaoyter and her escort at
the door and forbade her to enter,
‘saving, “You can't come In here to
throw any of your fits.” Having been
refused admittance to the home of
her relative Mrs Sluyter then In-
structed the driver of the hack to go
to the home of a {riend of hers. This
request was complied with, but it ap-
pears that she did not remain long
at the home of her friend, for she
was next heard from at the Towanda
{postofice where she had another fit
iand had to be taken care of by the

Well-Known Express Messenger Had
a Harrrowing Experience Yesterday,
Which He Will Not Seen Forget.
F. C Tillotson, employed at this
place as a messenger for the United
States Express company. met with
a harrowing experience yesterday
which will be remembered by him
until bis dying day. Tillotson was
ordered to Buffalo yesterday morn-
ing to transact some business for the
company. He left Sayre on passen-
ger tralm No. which is due here
about five o'clock. He boarded the
traln and when it reached Geneva
Tillotson went into the telegraph sta-
tion to send a message to Savre
When he came out the train was
pulling out of the station at quite a
rapid rate of speed. The train was
composed of vestibule coaches and It
being necessary for Tillotson to get
{to Buffalo on that train he decided to
Imount the stéps on one of the coaches
and take chances on being able to
altract the attention of those on the
inside He grabbed the handles on
one of the coaches, his feet finding a
place on the steps which project a
few inches below the platform which
closes down from the inside” and
makes It impossible for any on the
outside to get in
With one hand firmly grasping the
handle of the coach Tillotson pounded
vigorously at the door with the other

operation was In vain as the rumbl-
jing of the train effectually
{his efforts attract attention. In

{meant certain death. He continued
{his efforts to get assistance from the

to
{inside for a few moments, and finally
gave up in despair. Then he realized
his perilous position. He was rapidly
[becoming chilled to the magrow. His
{hands began to get numb, and he
feared that eventually his hold on
{the iron handle bars would relax and
he would fall to the ground to meet
a horrible death. The atmosphere
iwas bitter cold, and as he speculated
ion the chances which appeared de-
|cidedly against him, he again became
desperate and pounded at the closed
door until he was exhausted. Like
the former effort the second was also
8 fallure. In the meantime the pass-
enger train, running at a terrific rate
of speed, dashed by numerous freight
trains and this fact proved to be
another source of danger. The freight
cars rocked to and fro, and Tillotson
could fairly feel them brush against
his clothing. As the train sped on
Tiliotson’s fears increased instead of
diminished. He began to realize that
he could not hold on much longer
He was by this thoroughly
chilled through and In order to get
out of the wind he decided to climb
in between the bellows-like apparatus
which Is placed between the coaches
After considerable effort he sucoseded
in getting his body Into the narrow
space between the coaches. He was
out of the wind now, but found him-

Destructive Birds from the North \re
Driven to This Section.
State Zoologist Surface, of Harris-
lburg, says Pennsylvania has been
{visited by an unusual number of de-
|structive birds from the Northern
part gf Canada this Winter. The birds
{have been forced to migrate to the
{comparatively mild climate of this
{state by the intense cold of the Win-
ter about the shore of Hudson's Bay
{| “Reports from many parts of Penn-
[sylvania indicates that these birds are
becoming a nuisance,” Dr. Surface
continued ‘One of the worst of the
jmaurauders Is the goshawkiff. The
{blue hen hawk Is also here. From
imany counties come reports of
{tacks upon poultry and game
{ “The snowy owl, a beantiful bird,
{with bad habits, Is also here for the
first time In years, | have received
reports showicg that the pine gros-
| beak is about In Wayne and other
Northern tier counties
“This bird, like the crosshill, which
is also here, Is attacking cherry buds,
stripping off the bark to get at the
bud, and also eating pine cones and
