Loe Le TEAM WORK WINS!
Despite the crash of the stock market and Harry K. Thaw’s
s of $75,000 for spanking a ‘girl, we have heard considerable in
e newspapers this week concerning two outstanding young men,
Ibie Booth of Yale and Al Marsters of Dartmouth.
~ These two young athletes distinguished themselves in last
aturday’s football games; the
Midget Booth, 140 pound Yale
ackfield star by scoring winning touchdowns against the Army
1en Yale seemed defeated, and
the whirling, crashing Marsters
crushing and demoralizing a powerful Harvard eleven.
~ In characteristic fashion hero-loving newspapermen played
these young men up in Lindberg-like head lines forgetting the
ther ten men on the Yale and Dartmouth teams.

The Corner
DALLAS BOROUGH ELECTION
With next Tuesday. the election, very
ittle comment is heard around the
corner in regard to the borough elec-
i tion. A good many peoplt thought that
the burgess fight would grow wax and |,
‘warm, but it seems the two candidates,
Thomas Higgins and the present bur-
_ gess, Harry Anderson, are contenet to
et the issue in the hands of the
? cople.
Inthe council fight it eems that
en has been steadily growing in
Ee Rood. When Ralph
. on the school board he served |
n years as treasurer at the munifi-
i sary of $25 per year, when he
u 3 owed by law two per cent,
ich would have been in the hun-
s, but Ralph preferred to save the
school district this money. If elected
to council we are sure he will main-
tain this watchful policy in regard to |
borough taxes, so that the people will
be given an economic and efficient ad-
“ministration.
‘THE DALLAS TWP. PROSPECTS
? More interest is shown in the elec-
tion in Dallas township than in the
~ borough. With Dyer Lauderbach and
Bob Knarr holding the ntgular nomina-
tions, Republican and Democratic, re-
© spectively, the fight is enlivened a
little by the entrance of a Mr. Edwards
on the Square Deal, Citizens’ or some
other independent name party. How-
ever, the fight lies between Lauderbach
‘and Knaar with the odds favoring
Lauderbach.
Alex Wilson, the grand old Repub-
lican worker, with both nominations
for supervisor, will no doubte be an
easy winner, and to show what esteem
the people of Dallas township hold for
Alex, the total vete received by him
in the primary equalled the vote of all
of his opponents together.
» Alex has given conscientious service
‘since his appointment as supervisor
“and the people will not risk a change.

History of Dallas
(Continued. From Last Week)
Conrad and Wesley Kunkle were
men of considerable prominence in the’
community where they lived. Each
had a power of making and retaining
extensive acquaintances and friend-
ships. Conrad was for many years
Justice of the Peace in Dallas town-
ship, and was also. one of the two
first school directors appointed by the
court for Dallas township in the year
1834 under the provisions of the new
school law then for the first time put
in force. Wesley was elected to the
office of Recorder of Deeds in Luzerne
county in the fall of 1860, and served |
one term. Intimately connected with
the early settlement of the Green
Wood country at Kunkle was also
William Wheeler Kirkendall, father of
George W., Ira M. and William DP.
Barre. Wheeler Kirkendall, as he was
Kirkendall, now of the city of Wilkes-
familiarly called, came from New Jer-
and was a carpenter, also a
carder, fuller and clothes dresser by
trade, and it was largely through his
aid that the first carding and fulling
mill was undertaken and built by
Jacob Rice, 1st, in the village of
Trucksville. He was a man of kindly
nature and abounded in good cheer. A
harmless joke was never any less en-
joyable to him because it happened to
be at his expense, He used to tell of
and heartily laugh at an incident
which occurred while he was engaged
at the work of constructing the card-
ing and fulling mill at Trucksville,
above referred to. A neighbor of his
from Dallas, somewhat noted for his
fondness for practical fun, appeared
coming down the road towards King-
ston one morning in great haste. “Fold
on, Uncle Abe,” called Kirkendall as
he passed, “what's your hurry? Can't
you stop and tell us a good big lie this
morning?” Quick as thought
without halting or turning about,
Uncle Abe shouted back that he had
no time, that Philip Kunkle had just
fallen from an apple tree and broken
a leg, and he was going to Wilkes-
Barre for a doctor. Philip Kunkle was
the father of Wesley and Conrad
Kunkle, as well as the step-father of
Wheeler Kirkendall, and was also a
mostly highly esteemed citizen of Dal-
lar, to whom, on account of his ad-
vanced years, such an accident was
likely to bring most painful if not fatal
consequences. Under these circum-
stances such an announcement was
serious to Wheeler Kirkendall. Before
he had time to revive after the first
shock and recover his wits, Uncle Abe
was out of sight and hearing. The
suspense was unbearable, and no time
was lost in starting for the scene of
the accident, which was at least four
miles “away by the nearest route.
There being no hoses or conveyances
at hand, the journey had to be made
on foot. This was done in all possible
haste, and after two hours of hard
walking, up hill and down, over the
roughest roads, Mr. Kirkendall arrived,
much fatigued, at his journey’s end,
only to find Mr. Kunkle enjoying his
usual health, and to discover that
Uncle Abe had literally complied with
his reuest and told a good big lie.
Levi Hoyt, formerly of Xingston,
was also one of the first to locate at
Kunkle. He lived there and operated
with the saw-mill previously men-
tion as early as 1838, but I ami unable
to get very positive data in relation
to his transactions, An extensive busi-
was at one time carried on at Kunkle
in the manufacture of long oars for
small whale boats. The superior qual-
ity of white ash which grew there
was specially adapted to this use. For
many years after the first settlements
in Kunkle, village the nearest school-
house was by the roadside on the
divide known as “Chestnut . Hill” or
“Brace® Hill,” about one and «a half
miles southeast of the present village.
About the year 1858 a new red school-
house was erected within the: village
limits. Soon wafter this improvement
was made, it was proposed one day to
start a Sunday school also inthe same
building. There being no church in
the place, this proposition grew in
favor and soon ripened into a fact.
On the day fixed for the opening a
large crowd was assembled, so that
there was hrdly room to accommo-
date the parents and children who had
come from every direction to join the
Sunday school. Great pain had been
taken to have everything in readiness
for the opening day, but in spite of
all, one serious omission was at the
last moment discovered. No provision
had been made for the opening prayer.
There were two or three residents of
and
the village who had experienced reli-
gion in the Methodist way, and were
to a limited degree pious, but they did
not feel competent to undertake such
The
upshot of it all was that everything

had to be suspended and the people
kept waiting while some one went
three miles across country through the
woods and brought a man who knew

how to make such a prayer.
Sunday school has grown up and be-
