CUm DETECTIVE
HOBS SUCCESSFUL
There if quite an interesting detec
tive story befng told in Suiibury and
if all the detail- are true the stories of
Sherlock Holmes and Nick Carter are
equalled.|if not surpassed.
Fnim what lias been learned several
years ago an officer in tlie I. nited
States Army, at thatjtime located iu
the Philippines, suddenly deserted
while under arrest for stealing a large
PUIU of money and also charged with a
number of other crimes, some of them
of a very serious nature. Owing to
the man's many had deeds and the
manner in which he so easily escaped
the United States Government was
very anxious to apprehend him. Es
pecially anxious was present Secre
tary of War Taft. who at the time was
Governor General of the Philippines
and who desired that the erring officer
should be severely punished.
Mr Taft gave special instructions
that no effort should lie spared in try
lug to capture him and the case was
placed in charge of one of the best de
tectives in the Secret Service. The
well known sleuth immediately took
up the caoe and the chase after the fel
low was soon a merry one. Ho was
traced to this country but realizing
that he was being closely pursued he
managed to elude the detective on
numerous occasions. He was located at
different places, but always managed
to get away before his arrest could be
made. Finally after a search through
the anthracite coal regions of this
State it was learned that the fellow
was some where iu this section and
when the detective picked up the clue
he visited the towns in this neighbor
hood. When all trace of him was again
was believed that he had been
in Sunbury and was possibly still
there. The detective soon went to Sun
bury and decided to make a thorough
•earcli. Securing employment 011 a
delivery wagon he kept a careful watch
and lielieved that lie was on the right
track. He later secured several other
different positions iu Sunbury and at
last finally spotted his man who was
working for the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. Dogging his every
move he was convinced that he had
the right party and Monday last week
the arrest was made and the man was
taken to Buffalo, New York. The de
tective kept very quiet while in Sun
bury and it was not uutil he was sure
of his man that he told anything con
crening the case. Even then he wai
very reticent but before leaving Sun
bury stated that tho man committed s<
many crimes and of such a serious na
tare that if given the limit lie coult
be sent to prison for ninety-four years
More of the derails concerning tin
story will likely be learned later.

Hauling Lime.
The farmers are taking advantage o
the snow to haul lime for fertilizin)
purposes. Scores of sleds loaded wit!
lime were driven through this cit;
yesterday 011 their way home from tin
kilns. Farmers who fiave lime to hau
each winter are very anxious to sci
snow,as without it the roads are prett;
■uro to be bad, when the transportatioi
of lime becomes a serious problem
Comparatively little lime up to th<
present had been hauled this wintc
owing to the bad roads, most fanner
postponing the work hoping for a fal
of snow.
Yesterday morning they started ou
in gopd earnest not a few driviu;
many miles, from Hush and Gearhar
townships to County Commissioner C
W. Cook's kilns in Valley township
Naturally when there is such a rush a
now there is a great congestion of sled
about the kilns and except for tliosi
who arrive early there is n long am
tedious wait in store. To obviate tin
delay many of the farmers get up a
early as two or three o'clock in tin
morning and start for the kiln in tin
hope that they may be among the firs
to arrive. It frequently happens, how
ever,that the farni»rs are all early am
then the qnestion whose sled shall b
loaded first is decided by the order o
arrival. Patience and good humor gen
erally prevail at the kiln,and altliougl
It causes long hours and long interval
between meals, yet hauling lime i
work that by no means is disliked b;
the young farmers. All that is desire,
is plenty of snow.
Patients linj'iy Slelghrlde.
The deep snow Friday with the fin
sleighing that followed has brough
the usual amount of good cheer aiu
pleasure into the lives of the patient
at the Hospital for the Insane, a num
ber of whom on Saturday were treatee
to their first sleigh ride of tho season
Over seventy patients, all female
were taken out at one time Five larg<
sleds belonging to the farm were em
ployed, each driven by a farm hand
Each sled contained twelve to lifteei
petients and with the number one lad;
attendant.
The sleigh ride included a trip oir
over the State highway to Funster
macher's corner and back. The pati
ants were delighted, the most of them
giving expression to their pleasure bj
much jolly talk and laughter. Tliej
were warmly clothed and snugly wrap
ped np in blankets so that none ol
them seemed to suffer from the cold.
It was a great relief to the unfortunatf
people, who ever since winter set in
have for the most of tho time been
confined behind gloomy walls.
Approaching Wedding.
Invitations have been issued to the
wedding of Miss Harriet A. Straub,
danghter of Mr. and Mrs. John F.
Btraub,Ferry street,and John William

Adjournment was taken until Fri
day, February 2:?. or, should the com
panies be ready in the interim a speci
al meeting will be called at once.
The session was the most stormy of
any since the trolley fight lias been in
progress and at times the meeting was
in an uproar. The citizens who crowd
ed the hall voiced their sentiments in
cheering or remarks of derision and
President Kishbaugh repeatedly called
the session to order. With this was
also the fiery arguments of the trolley
counsel, in which the lie was passed.
The turn in the situation was as
amazing and startling as it was unex
pected.

A VISIT TO
BUNNYSIDE FARM
Among the attendants at the curb i
stone market there are none that are 1
better known than W. T. Suter. Al- !
though an out-of-town resident lie '
tills an important niche in Trinity M. j
E. church and takes an active part in i
the social life of our town. If anv one
should accompany Mr. Suter to his
home at Sunny side farm. Riverside
Heights, he will find evidence of a
whole lot of enterprise; ht> will lie
charmed with the order and arrange
ment of things and will see in the de
velopment that is proceeding along
clearly defined lines infinite possibil
ites for the future. Indeed taking in
to accouut the owner's grit and enter
prise he will be apt to wonder how
long it will be before Sunnyside and
its companion farm, Rosemont, will
blossom forth into one of the most
beautiful private domains in the coun
try.
On Saturday afternoon the writer
accompanied Mr. Suter on a drive ov
er his two farms. Sunnyside although
out of sight from South Danville and
Riverside lies only a short distance be
yond and is very easy of access. A
long lane or roadway branching off
from the main highway a short dist
ance beyond the Torrenee homestead
leads in a south-easterly direction up
to the summit of a mound-like eleva
tion clothed with timber,on the "sun
nyside" of which reposes Mr. Suter's
little farm of eighteen acres.
From the summit of the heights
down to the buildings the roail on the
left is skirted bv timber; on the right
is an unbroken line of fruit trees, of
all descriptions, many still young, but
some old enough to yield fruit. On
every side are evidences of thrift and
wise forethought—a foundation 011
which greater things may be built.
The cozy residence is the central
figure. Near by is a large windmill
accompanied by an immense tank. In
the picturesque ravine below the build
ings i> a never-failing stream of wat
er, which feeds a large ice pond and
in which a hydraulic ram i» installed
to re-enforce^he windmill in its work
of keeping up the water supply.
One of the first things to attract the
visitor is a large apiary; the next is a
system of cold frames where under the
warm sun of the protected hillside
many thousand plants of lettuce, re
cently set cut, are beginning to grow
nicely.
Last year Mr. Suter's bees produced
one and one-half tons of honey, which
in the market netted him some four
hundred dollars. This year his apiary
is somewhat reduced, there being but
forty hives anrl the product has fallen
probably to nearly a ton. a quantity,
which will nevertheless net the owner
some three hundred dollars.
A feature of Mr. Suter's gardening,
which in a real novelty in this section,
is the establishment of a rhubarb cel
lar, whi -h is in a most flourishing con
dition. Here in a green house artifi
cially heated, which instead of being
protected by glass is wholly covered
over by earth and in which it is as
dark as the darkest night, many thou
sands of stalks of rhubarb are grow
ing. The cellar conditions are such
as to cause the rank fleshy leafstalks to
grow with twice the rapidity attained
when cultivated in season out of doors.
The rhubarb bears the apj)carauee of
growing in the dark,but it lacks noth
ing in flavor and is a better product in
many respects.
Mr. Suter's fine Holstein cattle are
the real charm of Sunnyside. There
are ten head of them in all.four being
milch cows. A visit to Mr. Suter's
dairy would be a profitable object les
son for many other dairymen, who
might wish to learn how much could
be done for the welfare of cattle and
to keep the milk produced clean and
pure. The cattle in Mr. Suter's stable
are curried and they looked as sleek
and well kept as the hortles. What is
more—and is an example that every
dairyman might follow with advant
age—before being milked each cow's
udder is thoroughly washed with warm
water. The rich milk, thoroughly
clean, i> taken to the cellar where a
Cooley Creamery—a scientific and mod
era invention—aids in its preserva
tion until it is brought over to towt
and dispensed at our curb stone mark
et.
Among the fine Ho lutein cows ai
Sunnyside are two great granddaugh
ters of DeKol 11, whose record was
thirty-three pound, six ounces of but
ter in seven days. The two grand
daughters at Sunnyside are sustaining
the family record very nicely,onehav
ing a record of eighteen quarts am
the other twenty quarts of milk,daily
