town
1929 by Chief of Police Edward
Avery, Charles VanCampen, aged 24,
a, salesman of Binghamton, N. Y., was
this week sentenced by Judge Baker
pf Broome county, N. Y. to serve
from five to ten years in Auburn
prison on a charge of first degree
eriminal assault. His brother, Walter,
who has been indicted on the same
tharge and who was with Charles, cs-
taped the police at the time of the
urrest last July.
Charles VanCampen was arrested
ifter a twenty-four hour search on a
serious charge preferred by Mrs. Mar-
jon Asa, aged 21, of Conklin Read,
Binghamton. It is said VanCampen
and his brother offered the woman a
tide when they passed her in “their
automobile on the outskirts of Ping-
hamton.
The men 'were nattily attired and
had golf bags in the back of their car.
Believing them to Binghamton busi-
i ness men on their way home after a
golf match, the woman accepted their
invitation only to be assaulted on the
way. By bribing her assaiiants she
was finally taken home.
A mental note made of a telephone
number on VanCampen's key ring in
ber of the car gave Mrs. Asa a clue
with which to furnish the police.
The police learned that thz2 Van-
Campens were on a vacation at Har-
vey's Jake and had State

Four Injured
In Auto Crash
At Birch Grove
Nanticoke Young Woman in Nesbitt
Hospital With Possible Skull Frac-
ture
Eleanor Kavinsky, aged 17, of Nan-
ticoke, was seriously injured and is
‘in Nesbitt West Side hospital with
possible skull fracture and head con-
cussion as the result of a head-on col-
lision of two automobiles in the
Birch Grove on- Wednesday night.
Four other persons! were injured, none
1 of them seriously, as the result of the
accident.
Miss Kavinsky was riding in an
automobile operated by Carles Bajak
of aNnticoke. Joseph and Helen
Sauers, the other occupants of the
machine, suffered head bruises and
lacerations and were treated by Dr.
Kirschner of Luzerne and later treated
at Nesbitt hospital.
Miss Anna Lawrintus of Tunkhan-
nock suffered body and head bruises
and was taken home. She was riding
in a machine operated by John San-
derson of Tunkhannock. Adam Kopo-
loko was a passenger in the machine.
The machine operated by Bajak was
traveling toward Wilkes-Barre and
the machine driven by Sanderson was
headed for Dallas. Both automobiles
were wrecked and had to be towed to
garage. Edward Avery, chief of
police, who investigated the accident,
ordered both drivers to appear before

Red Biplane
To Be Tested
Trial Flights Will Be Made at Har-
vey’s Lake As Soon As Ice is
Strong Enough
“Sunny Boy,” the diminutivie red bi-
plane that rests peacefully on the hill-
side near its birthplace at Birch
Grove, will soon be given trial flights
at Harvey’s Lake, according to its
builder, Ralph Grey, young enthusiast,
who has been working on the plane
during the summer months.
The plane has been in course of con-
struction during the past three years
and last winter, as a monoplane, was
given trial flights from the ice on
Harvey's Lake. Although these tests
were partially successful, the young
builder decided to reconstruct the
plane into the biplane type in order
to, give the machine greater lift. In
last winter's test the pilot was barely
able to make hops of 600 feet with the
ship. At a speed of sixty miles an
hour the plane gradually settled back
to the ice and was unable to make
any sustained flight. The wing sur-
| face was insufficient to carry the light
plane against stiff side winds. |
‘With the increase of wing surface
about by bi-plane construc-
tion, it is believed that the plane will
be successful in its tests this winter.|
Young Grey has never had any ex-
perience as a pilot other than that
gained in last winter's tests, but he
says if it flys this winter there will
be’/no other pilot than himself. Grey
has always shown a keen interest in
aviation, although he has no desire to
enter that field either as a pilot or as
| a builder.
As a youngster he constructed many
toy model planes propelled by rubber
bands and it is from his knowledge of
construction gained in the building of
top planes that he has constructed
“Sunny Boy.”
Asked if he couldn't take off from
the broad new Sordoni highway,
which runs in front of his house, he
said that telephone and electric wires
prevented a safe take-off and that the
plane needs,a longer taker-off than
that afforded by the straight stretches
of highway. The cost of materials for
the plane has amounted to about $500
and was purchased from Heath in
Chicago. Grey is employed by the
Johnson Lumber Company of I.uzerne
and makes his home with his mother
at Birch Grove.

William Wimble
Predicts 1930
In Shavertown
Well Known Writer Also Gets Fan
Mail Which Is Published In This
Column
Like the great novelist, Jules Verne,
our Shavertown Man-About-Town,
Will Wimble, this week makes some
very startling predictions. Unlike the
noveltist, Mr. Wimble does not pretend
to predict the future after 1930, nor
does he predict happenings for the
world in general. Being a modest fel-
low he restricts himself to predicting
events in Shavertown and then oly for
the year 1930. We are sure he could
make predictions for the whole world
during the next twenty-five years if
he attempted it. He admits that he
could, but balks when it comes to
making more than a year’s predictions
for Shavertown, saying that that com-
munity moves so fast that to make
predictions two years in advance
would probably result in an error or
two, and he wants to be known always
for his accuracy.
We are publishing herewith a letter
sent to this office pertaining to Mr.
Wimble. The letter follows:
THE EDITOR.
Editor Dallas Post,
Dallas, Pa.
Dear Sir—Don’t let anybody kid
you. We know this famous writer,
Will Wimble—and he ain’t famous.
But infamous, maybe. If you don’t
want your paper to be written up
in The Specialist you better watch
out. Itirst thing you know Will
will be sending in pictures of
bathing beauties and such—then
what will you do? Keep your eye
on him.
Happy New Year to you and Will,
Yours affectionately,
SEHRLOCK HOLMES
and LITTLE EVA.
P. S.—Hand this letter to Will
or publish in his column.
Here’s some of the thing that may
happen in Shavertown next year:
A new police chief and police de-
partment—maybe.
Christmas decorations a year hence
better than ever.
A new street lighting system.
Shavertown changed to a borough.
Taxes remaining the same.
Charles Ayers serving
meals.
Evans’ drug store expanding.
Fabian O'Dell watching the
quotations.
Howard

John Thomas catching
car in the morning.
Earl Monk rivaling Sears Roebuck.
Herm VanCampen getting at least
one (whole) deer.
Lew Cottle inventing a pocket radio.

FORTIETH YEAR
Missing Girls
Are Found In
. Oklahoma City
Telegram to Wyoming County District
Attorney Says Men Are Being Held
in Oklahoma
A telegram was received this week
by Attorney Joseph F. Ogden, district
attorney of Wyoming county, stating
that Pauline Emmons and Ruth
Myers, two Tunkhannock girls missing
from their homes since Noviember 30,
had been picked up hy Oklahoma City,
Okla.,” police and are being held in
that city. Charles Wilson and Alfred
Levesque, who were with the girls ‘at
the time, were placed under arrest
charged with. violating the Mann
White Slave Law. 3
At a subsequent hearing a Federal
grand jury failed to indict the men
upon any charge and # is believed by
Wyoming county ofifcials that the
girls either refused to testify against
their abductors or claimed that they
went with them of their own volition
and were not restrained in their ac-
tion.
During the week, District Attorney
Ogden has been in touch with A. A.
Vosburg, Asistant United States Dis-
trict Attorney, and H. S. Hickey, of
the Department of Justice in Scranton,
and a telegram was sent requesting
Federal authorities at Oklahoma City
to hold the men pending an effort to
get something against them that woud
permit their being extradited to Penn-
sylvania, where they will be held on a
statutory law, both girls being under
sixten years of age.
Since Wyoming county has no avail-
able funds upon which to draw and
the expense of transportation from
Oklahoma City is high, there seems
to be no way at hand of getting the
girls home unless théy come of their
own volition.
Until the telegraph
from Oklahoma City by Attorney
Ogden, no word had been received
from the two girls since their disap-
pearance from Tunkhannock. It was
believed by their parents and Tunk-
hannock residents that the girls had
been taken away by the ring of white
slavers active im Pennsylvania and
who have their headquarters in Bos-
ton, Mass. The young men with
whom they went away may belong to
the Boston gang. E
