BIG MIEIIIGR
At a recent meeting of the executive
board of the Danville fire department
it was decided to take decisive steps
toward the securing of the annual con
vention of the Six-County Firemen's
association for Danville next year.
Previous to the action of the fire
hoard each of the four companies of
Danville had taken action singly en
dorsing the movement to bring the big
fire fighters' gathering to this city.
The Six-County association is one of
the largest and most influential of the
sub-organizations in the State and in
cludes Montour, Columbia, Northum
berland, Luzerne, Lackawanna and
Schuylkill counties. The annual con
ventions are held in June and cover
three days, bringing together thou
sands of firemen from all over this sec
titou The convention this year is to
be held iu Hazleton.
At the meeting of tlie fire board,
when the above action was taken,com
mittees were appointed to canvas the
town to secure subscriptions for de
fraying the expenses of the conven
tion. The members will call upon the
people during the first part of next
week. No money will be asked for, but
only pledges of what the contributors
are willing to give, so that some idea
may be gathered whether or not it
will be wise togo ahead with the
preparations for securing the meeting
here.
There is always a big fight to secure
the convention, and if the subscrip
tion committees meet witli success in
their canvas, it is the intention of
Danville's four oompanies togo to
Hazleton in .Tune with bands and drum
corps and wrest the convention from
all rivals.
FEEDING STUFF
LAW ENFORCED
The feeding stuff law of, Pennsyl
vania, which was placed upon the
statue books by the last session of the
legislature, is being vigorously enforc
ed in all parts of the State, by the de
partment of agriculture through the
division of feeding stuffs control.
At the present time the department
has sampling agents who are visiting
feed dealers throughout the State, and
securing samples which are forwarded
to P. D. Fuller, chief chemist of the
department of agriculture, for analy
sis. During the past six months, the
chemist has found many brands of
feed, particularly those manufactured
in the western States, largely adulter
ated with rice hulls, which are in
jurious to the health of domestic ani
mals,according to experiments carried
on in the southern States. These rice
hulls are usually found in molasses
feeds, of which there lias been a large
sale. The results of the chemical and
microscopical examinations are report
ed to the secretary of agriculture, who
orders prosecutions to be brought
against those who are violating the
law. G. G. Hutchison, general agent
of the department of agriculture, is in
immediate charge of the prosecution,
and as a result of numerous convic
tions that have been secured, several
hundred dollars in fines and analysis
fees have been covered into the State
treasury since August 1, 1907.
NO CRIME TO KILL
CHICKEN THIEF
\
The grand jury of the Schuylkill
oounty court Tuesday ignored the bill
against John Synkiewicz of Slienan
doaii, who killed Simon Bevan,a chick
en thief.
Bevan had stolen several chickens
from the coop of Synkiewicz late ouo
night. Synkiewicz and his two as
sociates pursued Bevan and chased
him sevoral miles through a deep
snow. Just as they were about to catch
up to him, it is believed that Bevan
half turned arouud to face his pursu
ers and Synkiewicz then fired at him.
the bullet penetrating the left should
er and pierciug the heart, causing in
stant death.
