LOCAL HISTORY.
(Continued from first page.)
The first election, in Wells town
ship, for choosing township of
ficers, was held in February 1850.
At that election six school direc
tors were elected. They were
John Foote and David C. Ross for
3 years, Henry Keith and Henry
Matthias for 2 years and Allen
Willett and George Lockard for
one year.
The newly elected board or
ganized on April 13th following
their election, John Foote was
made president of the board,
Henry Mathias secretary and
Allen Willet treasurer.
Alter the organization bad been
effected Mr. Matthias offered a
resolution to open two more
schools in the district thus
making four. Mr. Ross voted
against the resolution and Mr.
Willett did not vote. At that
meeting it was decided to build
two new frame school houses,
one at Camp Spring on land of
David Stevens near New Grena
da, and one on land of George
Whitehill near M. E. church.
Camp Spring is that which now
supplies Mr. DeForest Keith's
family with water. At same
meeting a tax was levied to raise
funds to pay for erection of new
school houses and expense of
carrying on four schools, no
body's tax to be less than seventy
five cents.
The contract for building the
new school houses was awarded
to Wm. W. Edwards, he to re
ceive $00 v for building that at
Camp Spring, and $C9 for the
one at M. E. church. Mr. Ed
wards failed to fulfill his bar
gain before October 1850 when
the board annulled his contract
The election for school direc
tors in February 1851 resulted in
the election of James M. Stunk
ard and a tie vcte for John Wish
art and Wm. W. Edwards; The
school directors cut the tie by
electing John Wishart This
board was organized April 4, 1851,
John Foote continuing as presi
dent and John Wishart becoming
secretary.
Soon after their organization
the board relet the contracts for
building the school houses at
Camp Spring and M. E. church
the hrst to K. A. Moore for f 100,
the other to Samuel Willett for
$119. Both houses were ready
for occupancy at beginning of
school term of 1851-2.
The house at M. E. church
stood at a turn in the Valley road
and close to it a high fence on
one side of the narrow road the
school house on the other made
it difficult sometimes for team
sters to make the turn without
colliding with the school house.
Many such collisions did occur.
This house with some changes in
desks and seats was used for
school purposes until 1878. It
has long been used by Mr. N. S.
Edwards as a stable.
The house at Camp Spring
stood on other side of the spring
from the public road and nearer
to the little stream flowing down
from the mountain than the
sprmg is. It ceased to be a
school bouse in 18G3, was sold to
K. A. Moore and converted into
fuel.
When these houses were built,
as well as those at Gibson's and
Bivens', the era of school houses
made of unhewn logs with spaces
filled with "chunks" and mortar,
had passed; but the time of slab
seats without backs and desks of
boards around the walls bad not
gone by. During the period of
40 to 00 years ago, the people of
Weils township were, as a rule,
very fortunate in their selection
of school directors as the follow
ing list of the names of someol
them will show. Some of those
whose names are here given were
elected several times, and others
many times. Some of them were
men of marked ability and intelli
gence, while all were men oi
strict integrity and pure motives,
who had at heart the best inter
ests of the schools under their
charge. Some of them were,
John Foote, J. G. Lyon, John
Wishart, J. B. Alexander, Thom
as Griffith, Wm. Horton, D. G.
Duvall, George White, G. W. B.
Sipe, D. C. Ross, John Sharrer,
Allen and Samuel Willett, George
Whitehill, Joshua Edwards, N.
W. Horton, J. S. Houck, J. C.
Moore, J. G. Cunningham, David
Osborne, John Alloway, S. P.
Wishart Of all these, but one is
now living, Hon. S. P. Wishart of
, Wells Tannery.

- Murder of Christian Ranck.
One ol the later crimes to be
treated in The North American's
series of "Pennsylvania's Great
est Criminal Mysteries" is the
murder of Christian Ranck, of
Paradise township, Lancaster
county.
Ranck was shot by some per
son hidden in the cellar of his
home. Some small tracks, which
might have been those of a wom
an, were found in the snuw the
next morning.
Many arrests were made, but
no evidence could be found
against those persons who were
taken into custody, and all of
them, they being mostly tramps,
were released.
One romantic feature of this
crime mystery is that the mur
der was committed on Christ
mas eve and that all the sur
roundings of a happy holiday
scene accompanied the frightful
tragedy.
The North American is print
ing one of these Pennsylvania
mysteries every Sunday. All of
them appear to be interesting to
general readers, as well as crimi
nal lawyers, and are certainly
worthy of preservation as chap
ters of criminal history of the
state.
This story will appear in the
Sunday North American, April
30, 1911.

Making The Man Provide.
California has adopted a prin
ciple of legislation which seems
to be founded on good, sound
sense and to be certain to prove a
great success. Under the stat
utes of most of the states the man
who deserts his wife and family
isordeiedby some court to pay
a certain amount weekly for their
support In extreme cases he
may be sent to jail. He may run
away from the jurisdiction of the
court and so fail to make the pro
vision ordered. If jailed, be is
deprived of opportunity to do
anything for the family.
California meets all these con
ditions. There the deserter is to
be sentenced to public worn.
The regular wage allowed for his
labor is to be $1.50 a day, and this
amount is to be applied to the
maintenance of the wife and the
little ones. The man who as
sumes the responsibilities of
married life should be compelled
to meet those responsibilities.
No more cowardly, sneaking,
despicable specimen of his sex is
to be found than he who fails to
do this. That California law
seems to be a good model
