DEAD MAN FOUND
Now Solved
Coroner B. L. Billings was called
to Centermoreland on Saturday by
a message that the body of a dead

He went, but concluded that the man
died from natural causes and no in-
quest was necessary,
The facts in the case as obtained
by Sergeant Miller and Private Wil-

racks, were as follows: A stranger

GERMAN SALESMAN
A local clergyman who was a chap-
‘lain during the World War was seri- |
ously wounded and still suffers from |
the effects of those wounds, recently
{had occasion to «do business with a
[nanuisciuring company selling stain- |
led glass windows for church purposes.
| When the salesman visited him, the
| clergy man noted that he spoke with a
| decided German accent, and questioned
him with regard to his residence in |
[the United States and whether he |
(fought for Germany during the World
| War. The German replied that he had
lived in the United States only a few
vears and that he had been a captain
of German artillery during the War.
The salesman in turn asked if the
clergyman had been in the war. The
answer was that he had been and that
he had been seriously wounded on a
certain day at a certain hour. The
clergyman also told the German the
location at Cieges in. the Argonne
where he was serving when the shrap-
nel came over that wounded him. The
German pondered for a moment and
then replied that there was only ons
battery of German artillery at that

clergyman was wounded. To make
|-fure, however, he said that he would
{look in his diary on his return home
| ana find out if it was a shell from
{local man. His investigation proved |
that he was correct in his surmise. It |
(was a shell from one of .the guns
| which were commanded by the Ger-!
man salesman that wounded Father
| J. J. O'Leary of Shavertown.
LITTLE BLACK HEN
We believe Wilson Garinger

hatched on May 5, 1930 and during
‘the year November 6, 1930 to Novem-
ber 6, 19381 has laid 351 eggs.
of a patriotic nature she missed laying |
| during two days of July and took a
| noliday of five 'days in August. She |
laying the cause was overfeeding on
{green food. Which leads us to philos-
phise that chickens like humans fre-
, quently do much poorer work when
| well fed than when hunger spurs
one of his guns which wounded the

jemong humans probably causes more
deaths annually than starvation.

cord of Mr. Garingers little

STILL SMILES
There’s a pleasant little Scotchman
living in Shavertown who dropped in
ito-call on us this week. For several
| weéks now he has been stopping in
to see us and looking over our presses
lon each visit. Being an expert press-
| man and lithographer we are always
glad to have him give us advice on
the care and handling of presses. It
was not, however, until this week that
our conversation ever got far from
the subject of printing, and then only
when we began' to ask questions.
This young man of the sandy hair and
pleasant voice, we learned had gone
tn.ough four years of the worst hell
ever conceived by man against man.
In a voice mellow as Scotch mist and
as crisp as the Scotch heather he re-
lated some of his experiences in the
British army from August 1914 until
the close of the war in 1918. He had
been with the Manchester regiment at
Ypres when the Germans first used
poison gas. He had seen 1,500 of his
comrades, sneeze, cough, strangle and
clutch at their throats, govel in the
dirt and mud and die without know-
ing what was killing them and with.

HERMIT OF

| fect that the rattiesnake hadn’t bit-
[ten him but that he had awakened
| from his sleep just in time to kick
one out of his bed before it had a
chance to get in position to strike.
Then another good friend came to us
an told us that a hermit in ‘Wayne
County had been killed by rattle-
snakes during the summer months and
apparently that incident had become
associated with Mr. Eastwood and ELLY
that was how the exaggerated reports
of his death had gotten into the city
newspapers. Even with that tip we
continued to hold to our policy that
silence is golden when it comes to
writing about a hermit who has as
many friends as Mr. Eastwood.
Then this week we glanced through
the Montrose Independent and came
across the following letter to the edi-
tor of that paper.
Dear Sir:—
I was much interested in the article ¢
in the last issue of The Independent
concerning the Hermit of Huckleberry
Mountain, “Auc” Eastwood. The older
residents of this township have always
known him, and having seen him my-
self the article aroused my interest. I
nad not heard of his death and as I
wished to verify it I made inquiries
and learned that the day I received
your paper, Friday, November 6th, he
[made a trip to the village of Forkston
at the foot of the mountain. He had
on an overcoat and other clothing be-
fitting the season. He often makes
| trips to this village.
Since the death of his wife, a few
years ago, he has lived alone.
About two months ago it was re-
Iported that he had been bitten by a
| rattlesnake, but this was false. No
doubt the story printed in the Dallas
Post started from the report. He is i
a very interésting character and pre-
fers living alone on the mountain,
coming to Forkston for supplies when
needed.
Since many Susquehanna donnty
people come to the Forkston-Mehoop-
any mountain to hunt, no doubt some
of them have seen him. I thought
perhaps you would be interested to
know that the report of his “tragic
death” is false and correct it.
Very Respectfully,
Mrs. Clayton Baldwin.

So, if you are out to get
the most enjoyable, easiest

radio your money will buy,
get an Atwater Kent. It
may cost you a little more
than some of the cheaply
put together sets now so
common, but the invest-

a long-wearing set with a

Remember, that’s the

Our modern purchase

to buy an Atwater
Kent as any other
radio made.
