SHINE”
PLANT RAIDED RECENTLY
County Detective John M. Gross and
several other officers raided a farm-
house in Adams township on Tuesday
of last week, confiscating three stills,
more than 100 gallons of moonshine
and destroying 122 barrels of mash.
T'hree men were placed under arrest
and gave bail before Justice of the
Peace W. H. Lehman of Scalp Level
for their appearance at the next term
of court.
The officers report that the moon-
shine plant was one of the most com-
pletely equipped they have visited in
years. The three stills were about eight
feet in height and fitted out with coils
and plates for quick production. Rec-
ords found by the officers show that
about 80 gallons of whiskey were man-
ufactured daily, some days, records in-
dicated, 150 gallons were turned out.
The plant was in an old farm house
nestled back in the woods, several
miles out of Elton. Filters, granulated
sugar, and other supplies were also
confiscated by the officers.
The trio arrested gave the names of
Jim Latina, Joe Caro and Frank Kres-
co. The plant was in operation when
the officers reached the scene and the
defendants made an attempt to make
a mick get-away from the place, but

DEPUTY FISH _
.DEN IS ARRESTING EM
f rmen who take a chance
lairc ning to realize that the state
fish .e means something.
Deputy Fish Warden, R. E. Miller, of
Wilmore, has been reunding up some
of the alleged violations and within
the week has secured fines to the ex-
tent of $320, in the following cases:
George B. March, Roy Allen and Will-
iam Jones, all of Ebensburg, apprehen-
ded on Barker's Run, near the Howell
Bridge, netting fish in a trout stream,
taken before Squire Charles P. Row-
land of Ebensburg, and fined $20 each.
George E. Powell and John Langley
both of Windber, aprehended on
lear Shade, above the Windber
Sport-smen’s trout nursery, accused of
having “short” trout in their possess-
ion; Powell fined $10 for each of six
short fish and Langley fined $10 and
costs for one that did not measure up
to the six-inch minimum. Deputy Mil-
ler said Langler dumped the contents
of his fish basket in the stream at the
approach of the warden, but six small
trout were recovered. Langley ran, but
was later apprehended and one short
fish was found in his basket. They were
fined by Squire R. E. Craver at Som-
erset.
Joseph Sarnofsky, of Puritan, was
found by Warden Miller on the Bens-
creek, above Cassandra, with nine of
the short trout in his possession. Un-
less Sarnofsky pays the $90 required
by law, he will be compelled to serve
90 days. Information was made against
him before Squire Rowland at Ebens-
burg.

Stepping from behind a parked car
directly in front of a car driven by
Earl Covalt of near Johnstown, James
Woodrow Gillen, Jr., aged 11, was in-
stantly killed about 11 o'clock on Sun-
day morning. He suffered a fracture
of the skull, expiring before his broth-
er, Paul, could get him to the Lee hos-
pital in Johnstown.
Young Gillen was delivering milk at
the time of the accident, which occur-
red near the Brethren church.
CHILD IS BADLY HURT.
Sarah Leonard, aged 7 years, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Leonard,
who reside near Nanty-Glo, is in a se-
rious condition at the Memorial hos-
pital in Johnstown as the result of be-
ing struck by an automobile Saturday
evening near the Webster mines at
Nanty-Glo. The child suffered proba-
ble internal injuries, lacerations of the
scalp and abrasions of the body. Her
condition is somewhat improved. Ac-
cording to the hospital report the
child was crossing the road near the
mine when she was struck by an au-
tomobile said to have been operated by
Merle Nevy, of near Vintondale.
TO SERVE PEN TERM.
Carl Ditsworth of Cresson pleaded
guilty in court on Monday afternoon
to the larceny of an automobile and

FIREMAN KILLED
SEVERAL ARE
When west-bound passenger train,
No. 61; “The Pittsburger,” sideswiped a
derailed freight car a short distance
east of the Johnstown passenger sta-
tion at 7:30 o'clock last Sunday morn-
ing, the fireman of the passenger
train was killed, the engineer and sev-
eral others injured as the locomotive
left the rails along with the baggage
car and two Pullmans, the engine be-
ing practically demolished.
The dead:
JOHN D. DREESE, fireman, aged 44
married, of Altoona; scalded to death.
Had also received fracture of skull and
severe scalp lacerations.
The injured:
John C. Hooper, engineer, aged 47,
of Altoona, badly scalded about lower
portion of the body, 1eft arm, face and
neck; condition fair; in Cambria hos-
pital.
AND
INJURED
slight cut on shoulder, treated for in-
jury and able to resume trip.
Mrs. H. C. Elstie, of Pittsburg. slight
bruises of the head; after treatment
was able to resume trip.
“The Pittsburger,” an extra fare
train, was traveling at a high speed
westbound when it rounded the curve
just above the Prospect viaduct. The
freight train eastbound had passed the
Johnstown passenger station a few
minutes before, when one of the cars
jumped the track, it is believed, as the
result of the brake rigging letting go.
The car jumped from No. 2 track over
to No."3 track on which the
bound passenger was traveling, a dis-
tance of 20 feet. That the brakes of
the passenger locomotive were applied
is certain, according to railroaders who
made an investigation following the
mishap, but the distance from the
curve to the point where the freight
car was derailed was too short to ad-
mit of stopping.

DAYLIGHT DISPLAY
OF FIREWORKS
Planned by Officials of Cambria
County Industrial Exposi-
tion at Ebensburg.
Daylight fireworks will be something
new on the opening day of the Million
Dollar Industrial Exposition on July 2,
at the Cambria County Fair Grounds
at Ebenshurg, starting at 2:30 P. M.
daylight saving time. This is not only
the latest novelty in outdoor amuse-
ments but it is a thrilling and amus-
ing half hour that puts not only the
children into ecstacies of laughter but
never fails to attract the attention of
all the adults who are within sight of
the display. The great shells, fired in-
to the air four or five hundred feet
when they burst scatter a great variety
of novel effects. From one may come a
flock of swans sailing majestically in
the air as they fly before the wind
Another may set free a jumble of tum-
bling clowns whose acrobatic in the at-
mosphere sets the onlookers in spasms
of laughter. These may be followed by
the various national flags of the allies
which unfurl before the wind and then
sweep slowly away. Then a troupe of
elephants, such as one might see at
the marriage of an Indian Maharajah
or a flock of nightengales such as are
enough to be seen ‘at any distance. ab-
out the grounds, is endless. This, on
opening day, will be the introductory
Mrs. Eli B. Kauffman, of Pittsburg, |
to the great vaudeville show that will
be given at the race track, and also
preliminary to the races.
Already presiding Steward Sidney S.
Jender, who will have charge of the
racing program, is being .besieged by
requests for stall room for the racing
which will take place every afternoon
during the week of the Fourth of
July. The fame of the half mile track,
which is always in good condition, and
which equals any similar track in this
country, with its good watering for the
horses and its fine stabling, is known
to horse owners the country over and
they all want to represented if they
have the vacant time.
The trouble is not to find horses to
run, but to find stabling for the many
horses that wish to be entered by their
owners. Robert Frend will be the as-
sistant to Sidney S. Bender so that
horse owners are assured of the best
of racing conditions. There will be six
races every afternoon of the week of
the exposition.
Never before has so much care been
taken is selecting the vaudeville acts
and in previous year sthey have been
notable for their up to dateness and
high standard. Some of them are start-
lingly new. There will be a dog show,
licensed by the American Kennel Club,
July 3 and 4, and a Cat Show_under
the rules of the Cat Fanciers’ Associa~
tion of America, July 5 and 6, at which

ALIFORNIA bungalows always have
one feature, the patio, that is not found
in the types with which the North and

early Spanish occupancy of
the Southwest and a charac-

this outdoor convenience
which loses its charm in the
harsher northern climates.
