I “FROM SHOOTING
Pitiable Case in Somerset Court
Monday. Other Happenings in
Legal Routine.
A pathetic sight in the court room
at Somerset Monday morning was
3 i that of the six-year-old son of John
: Gezybeck, of Somerset, totally blinded
o last fall by a shot from some un-
§ known source. The boy is otherwise
al affected by the injury. Tony Lech-
var is accused of the crime.
Last November the boy was play-
ing in the woods not far from his
home. Someone fired a shotgun, the
it - boy being struck in the eye. He
| managed to make his way to his home
8 He was rushed to the Memorial hos-
| pital at Johnstown, but physicians
were unable to help him. The sight
b
|
of the wounded eye had been totally
‘destroyed and the other eye became
affected through sympathy.
There were no witnesses to the
shooting. The boy, however, has de-
clared repeatedly that Lechvar shot
oi him. Lechvar, who was employed by
i a Boswell meat dealer, says he was
gh out of town the day the shooting took
place and will prove it. . ils
On Tuesday afternoon a verdict
was rendered in favor of the defend-
ant. Much testimony was introduced
to prove that Lechvar was not in Bos-
well the day of the shooting.
The case of Horatio H. Cassler
1% ' against Laura M. Lohr was tried
il before Judge A. W. Johnson of Union
and Snyder counties. Cassler and the
Lohrs are said to have entered into a
contract whereby the former was to
cut timber on the Lohr properiy. He

A] ‘ the last ten years had not operated on
8 the tract. The Lohrs sold the timber
A to a third party. Cassler asks $5,000.

Irvin F. Dillon. a verdict was award-
ed for the defendant.

PRIVATE WEDDING
SURPRISED FRIENDS.
The friends of Miss Marion Knie-
rem of Broadway had reason to be-
lieve that she would be married some
time this fall. Accordingly the mem-
bers of the C. E. N. Club and other
friends decided to surprise her by
giving her a linen shower on Tuesday
evening. The following assembled at
her home that evening: Mrs. H. M.
Stotler, Elk Lick, Mrs. Clarence
Rowe, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Benford,
Mrs. Charles Dia, Mrs. L. H Deal, Mrs
Harvey Saylor and the Misses Hulda
Powell, Cora Bittner, Lillian Baer,
Effie Mimmie, Zella Sides, Hazel Mil-
ler Leta, Miller, Ruth Holdshu, Anna
Graves, Myrtle Smiley and Maude
Saylor.
These ladies brought with them nu-
merous elegant and useful articles of
linen as gifts for Miss Marion in view
of her approaching wedding. Little
did they dream that it was so near at
hand. The evening was spent in a so-
cio way. Mrs. Knieriem had pre-
pared a dainty lunch which was
served by the young Misses Mary Mil
ler and Pauline Knieriem. The ladies
returned to their homes late in the
evening wondering when the wedding
would take place.
At 5:3% the next morning, Oct. 20
Miss Marion accompanied by Mr. Chas
Shroyer, of Rockwood, were united
in the bonds of holy matrimony at
Amity church by the pastor, Dr. A. E.
Truxal, D. D. according to the ring
ceremony of the church. .
Those present at the marriage were
H. C. Knieriem and wife, the parents
of the bride, Paul and Pauline, brother
and sister of the bride, G. H. Benford,
wife and mother and Miss Maude Say-
lor. Immediately after the ceremony
the bride and groom went to Cum-
berland by automobile and took an
early train for a trip to eastern cit-
ies. They were accompanied as far,
as Cumberland by Misses Maude Say-
and Pauline Knieriem. |
Mr. Shroyer is a native of Bedford
railroad with headquarters at Rock-|
wood. The bride is the daughter of H.
C. Knieriem of Broadway. They will
probably go tc housekeeping at Rock-

| On Tuesday morning about three
O'clock a costly wreck in which an
(engine and seven cars were badly
| done up, occurred at Salisbury Junec-
j tion about a mile north of this place
on the B. & O. railroad.
The accident was a rear end collis-
ion. The trains were both west bound
and consequently on the downgrade.
The first train was standing on a sid-
ing and the engineer of the second
train could not control his engine.
Those at the switch seeing that it
would be better to pass the runaway
train on to the siding, turned the
switch and as a result it plowed into
the rear end of the train standing
there. The engineer and fireman escap
ed by jumping, otherwise no doubt,
fatalities of life ‘would have to be re-
corded in this article; fortunately no
one was hurt. There were several
cars of lumber on the rear part of
the first train and these loads were
piled high and scatteredhere and
there as well. The empty cars were
reduced to kindling wood.Trains were
delayed for several hours and the de-
bris and the engine disabled required
a couple of days to remove.

LECTURE
The: adherents that woman should
have a right to vote and others of
opposite views gathered in large,
numbers last evening to hear Mrs.
George Buckner, a woman of talent
of England, on this live question.
Mrs. F. A. Bittner presided and in-
troduced the speaker. Mrs. Buckner
lectured for about one hour and thirty
minutes and many highly interesting
and convincing arguments were pre-
sented. Woman today has to go out
from home to make her living and
therefore she should have a right to
determine what laws should govern
her. It is a moral issue and not a
political one. Examine the bulk of
the supporters for and against equal
suffrage and see on which side you'd
wish to be. Those who came to the
meeting doubting went away convin-
ced that woman, man’s equal and the
most of them superior to the most of
men, went away convinced that she
ought have the privilege and the right
to vote if she so desires.
