Nettled Burglars
Chide Their Victim
COSTIGAN, MAINE.—A note
of thanks for the goods stolen,
with an added line stating the
thieves were ‘sorry you couldn’t
have left some money for us,”
featured or=2 of the two breaks
investigated by deputy sheriffs.
The note was left on the cash
register of the store of C. V.
Burr in Costigan, which also

PIONEER CALLS AIR
RIDE GREAT THRILL
80-Year-Old Woman Says She
Wasn’t Bit Scared.
SALT LAKE CITY. — In her
younger days she gave ‘“‘Billy the
Kid” a real ‘‘tongue lashing,” but
when Mary J. Farnsworth, 80-year-
old Utah pioneer woman, stepped
from a plane here after her first
air jaunt she was ‘‘thrilled speech-
less.”
An encounter with the Western
bad man didn’t hold nearly so many
thrills as a 20-minute ride through
the clouds over Salt Lake valley,
which she first entered behind a
covered wagon as a girl of 10 years,
Mrs. Farnsworth declared.
“The Kid” came to Mrs. Farns-
worth’s home and threatened to
search the residence for weapons
during one of his flights from
posses.
But he never got inside.
“I sent him on his way with a
tongue lashing he would never have
taken from any man,” the pioneer
woman recalled.
gers and experiences of frontier life
can’t compare with
aviation, she declared.
Stepping from a plane at Salt
mitted.
“It was the greatest thrill of my
life—and I wasn’t scared a bit.”
Hermit Hears of His
own obituary to bring Frederick B.
Jones from self-exile, two years aft-
er he disappeared from his home
and work here.
Recently a weathered skeleton
was found in rugged mountains 50
miles north of here. Sheriff's dep-
uties estimated it had been exposed
two years, and said it might be
the bones of Jones, a druggist, who
disappeared in August of 1936.
Dental work resembled Jones’,
and an automatic pistol found near
the skeleton was said by a friend
to be his. The person whose skele-
ton was found had apparently been
slain.
But it wasn’t Jones.
Hearing that he was thought to
be dead, Jones, 63, emerged from
his desert wood-cutter’s camp 25
miles from Phoenix just long
enough to assure old friends he was
alive and happy.
He then heard for the first time
that there had been a strained situ-
ation, almost war, between Euro-
pean nations and that he had been
left $10,000 by his mother-in-law,
who died some months ago.
But Jones did not like what he
saw in the city and he went back to
his hermit life, to which he fled in
an escape from ‘‘domestic difficul-
ties.”
Sword ‘Gargling’ Stops
Throat Ills, Actor Says
HOXIE, KAN.—John G. (Lucky)
Ball, who turned from lion taming
to sword swallowing for a ‘‘soft”
job, believes there’s no better way
of avoiding throat ailments than “to
gargle a sword now and then.”
To prove his assertion, Ball cites
the fact that not once since he start-
ed swallowing swords five years ago
has he been bothered with a sore
throat. His wife, one of the few
women sword swallowers in the
country, likewise has not suffered
from throat trouble, although she
has unusually large tonsils.
Ball quit taming lions and started
swallowing swords after a lion se-
verely injured him. There is no
danger of being injured by swallow-
ing a sword, Ball said, unless there
are jagged edges on the weapon.
For a chaser, Ball eats fire.
Ball has appeared in several mo-
tion pictures and now is under con-
tract. He came to Sheridan county,
Kan., years ago to put on his lion
taming act, married a local girl and
since then has claimed this as his
home county.
Marriage Now Makes Him
Stepfather of Grandson
PITTSBURGH.—John H. Rolls,
56, of West View, married his own
daughter-in-law in Cumberland,
Md., after the couple had twice been
refused a license in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
The marriage to his son’s widow
will make Rolls the step-father of

PRESS-COURIER,
[ DRUNKEN PEDESTRIAN
GREATE RMENACE THAN
THE DRUNKEN DRIVER
Harrisburg.—The intoxicated pedes-
| trian rather than the drunken driver
| is more responsible for fatal motor ve-
| hicle accidents an anaylsis made by the
| statistical unit of tne Department of
| Revenue’s Bureau of Safety reveals,
| Records to date showed that in 808
fatal pedestrian accidents 135 involved
| intoxicated pedestrians while only 44
intoxicated drivers were involved in
{ fatal accidents.
In 14 per cent of all accidents ac-
{ cording to the report made by Deputy
f Secretary of Revenue Otto F. Messner,
| the operator of the car was apparantly
! intoxicated.
| This condition also was reported to
| be the condition of 2.2 per cent of all
| operators involved in fatal accidents.
On the other hand the survey shows
that 8.5 per cent of all pedestrians in-
volved in accidents were drunk as
were 15 per cent of all pedestrians in-
volved in fatal accidents.
Last year 69.5 per cent of all opera-
| tors involved in motor smash ups in
Pennsylvania were reported as having
{ been in an apparentiy normal condi-
| tion at the time.
A break down of this group shows
| that 7.3 per cent of the operators in
fatal accidents, 71.8 per cent in non-
| fatal accidents and 67.2 per cent in
| property damage accidents were like-
| Wise reported as being in an apparent-
ly normal condition.
| A further anaylsis indicates that20.5
per cent were inattentive at the time.
This same condition was found in 17.5
per cent of the operators in fatal ac-
cidents, 18.3 per cent of the operators
i in property damage accidents.
| In comparison to this condition on
the part of the operator is the fact
| that 6.9 per cent of all pedestrians in-
| volved in accidents were also reported
| as inattentive,
In this group 61.2 per cent of all
|
|
‘

|
|
| pedestrians involved in fatal accidents |
were inattentive.
| “In view of this information,” Mr.
; Messner said, “it is apparent that both
operators and pedestrians must be
| keeping their minds on traffic.
In addition to inattentiveness, oper- |
| ators were reported as being confused
| in 4.3 per cent of the cases. This same
| element of confusion was reported of
| 3.2 per cent of the operators in fatal
| accigents and 40 pe rcent and 4.6 per
| cent of the operators in non fatal and
| property damage accidents respect-
ively.
The pedestrian was reported as be-
ing confused in 124 per cent of the
cent of the fatals.
Of all operators involved in acci-
dents 3.2 per cent reported their view
as having been obstructed, and 4.7 per
cent of the operators in fatal crashes
reported this condition. The pedestrian
was similarly influenced in 49 per
cent of the pedestrian accidents and
4.3 per cent of the pedestrian fatal ac-
cidents.
The balance of the operators includ-
ed in the report are classed as being
1 asleep or having a physical defect. The
former condition applied to .85 per
cent of all operators involved and 1.5
per cent of those in fatal accidents,
while the latter condition existed in
28 per cent of al accidents and .54
per cent of the total accidents.

pon. He is survived by his widow and
