CIVIL WAR
GUNPOWDER
BURNS BOY
Black powder which may have
been kept as a souvenir of Civil
War battles nearly caused serious
injury to a thirteen-year-old boy
who was fascinated by his dis-
covery. '
The home of the late John Let-
gon, Davis Street, Trucksville had
been vacant since his death several
weeks ago. His sister, Miss Bessie
Letson, a resident of the Old Ladies
Home, Wilkes-Barre had asked
Harry Snyder, Dallas, her brother’s
friend to tear down several small
buildings on the property.
Since. Mr. Letson kept many
mementos locked in the sheds, the
neighborhood youngsters were high-
ly interested in the demolition.
Young Thomas Cully, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Cully, S. Pioneer
Avenue was looking over the rub-
bish piled in the yard when: he
came upon an olive oil bottle label-
ed “Gunpowder.”
He sped home and sprinkled some
of the contents on papers in the
incinerator. As he turned toward
the house to secure matches, some
of the powder spilled on the ground.
It is believed that he then set the
bottle down. He lit the papers.
There was an instantaneous explo-
sion. The boy was thrown back-
wards by its force. * The flame
found the trail of powder grains,
igniting his left sleeve.
Herbert Hill was looking out his
dining room window at 6:15 p.m.
when he saw his young friend and
neighbor running to him. “Uncle
Herb,” Tom called, “Get me to a
* doctor, quick.”
Mr. Hill quickly removed the
hooded jacket and shook the flames
from inside the sleeve. In a jiffy
he was on his way to Nesbitt Hos-
pital with the frightened lad.
Dr. Joseph Sgarlat performed a
correct damaged tendons in the right
corect damaged tendons in the right
index finger of the left hand which
lead to the forearm. Deep punc-
ture wounds and lacerations of the
same member were cared for. Sev-
eral sutures were needed for the
gash in his forarm. Burns of the
face and left hand were found to be
superficial. :
Tom's dad who was away hunting
on Monday, states that no trace of
the powder jar was found, nor
were there any glass fragmdts in
the wounds; the , entire corjiiiner
having disintegrated.
Tattoo marks caused by the pow-
der will be removed later by plastic
surgery. Dr. W. C. Marsden will
check the lad’'s eyes to ascertain
whether any damage was done.
. Tom's general condition is good.
® Herbert ‘Updyke who resides
not far from the Letson home states,
that the elderly gentleman sent her
son a small packet of gunpowder
® with a note that “it was taken from
the effects of Lt.
who was killed in the Battle of
Petersburg in Virginia during the
Civil War and who is interred in
Hollenback Cemetery.” “The bottle
the Cully boy found may be some
of the same, but we are not sure,”
she said.
Tommy's dad, also a student of
the Civil War, is a member of Back
Mountain Civil War Round Table.

Post Commander
Dies Suddenly
Military Rites Set
For This Afternoon
JAMES F. DAVENPORT
Military rites will be accorded the
late Commander of Daddow-Isaacs
American Legion Post this after-
noon when James Fred Davenport
is. buried at Chapel. Lawn,
Last night Legion comrades con-
ducted services for a commander
who had been inducted only two
months ago.
This afternoon, Rev. Norman Tif-
fany and Rev. Kenneth O'Neill, pres-
Methodist Church, will officiate at
Disque Funeral Home.
Commander Davenport, 54, was
ing to his employment in the credit
office at Pennsylvania Power and.
Light Company. He was brought
home by a fellow employee, and
died at 10:15 a. m. ( He had suf-
fered similar heart attacks before.
A veteran of World War II, he
and his wife, the former Florence
Weintz, operated the Maple Hill
Rest Home in Lehman for seven
years.
He was a member of Lehman
Methodist Church; Lehman police
force and police association; Leh-
man fire company. He was vice
president of Back Mountain Police
Assogiation.
Hg' will be badly missed in Leh-
man, where the children adored
him, and where everybody knew
that he could be counted on in any
kind of an emergency. He had the
welfare of the community at heart.
During the early years of the Fire
Company, it was Mr. Davenport
who personally donned a white
apron and roasted the turkeys at
Jackson Fire Hall for the annual
banquet.
Clocks were his hobby. Any old
clock, discarded because it was
broken, or coming across the auction
block, was to him a challenge. He
painstakingly adjusted, repaired, and
oiled the faltering mechanisms, and
got the clocks to ticking again,
spreading out the parts and the
tools on the kitchen table.
Born in Hobrook, Nebraska, he
was son of Mrs. Mary Conway of
Trucksville and the late William
Davenport. He lived at Meeker for
some years before moving to Leh-
man nine years ago.
He leaves his widow; two children.
Mrs. Margo Oncay, Lehman; and
James, Jr., Tonawanda, N. Y.; four
grandchildren; his mother, Mrs.
Conway; brothers: Marshall and
Willard, Luzerne; John, Shickshinny;
Elmer, Garden Grove, California;
sisters, Mrs. Helen Carr, Luzerne,
and Thelma, Santaniello, N. 3
"fim Besecker Takes First Ride
On Town Ambulance As A Patient
James Besecker, Sr., is a patient®-
at Nesbitt Hospital where he is
showing some improvement after
being admitted Saturday afternoon
following a heart attack.
He had not been feeling up to
par last week but continued his
real estate duties Saturday morning
and in spite of a pain in his chest
accompanied a prospect to Harveys
Lake to look at a property.
On his return home at noon, he
told Mrs. Besecker, that he did not
feel like eating but would lie down.
. About 2 the prospect called to close
the deal, and Mr. Besecker went
to his office to make out the papers.
Leaving the office, he could not
quite make it home, but stopped
in to see Dr. Harry Gallagher who
sent him home to bed to await the
arrival of his own physician, Dr.
Charles Perkins, who had him taken
to the hospital in Dallas Community
Ambulance.
While Jim loves to have callers,
friends are urged not to v'sit him
at the hospital where he will be a
patient for some weeks, but to send
cards insteod.
His son, Donald flew up from
Florida as soon as he learned of his
father’s illness.
Jim Besecker has ‘taken hundreds
of rides on errands of mercy in this
community on both the Henry M.
Laing Fire Truck and the jCommun-
ity Ambulance, but this wis his first
trip as a patient.

Local Collection
For Brown Family
Nine members of the Walter
Brown family who died in an early
morning fire in ‘their home near
Renovo Thursday had many friends
in the Dallas-Kunkle area, who are :
taking a collection for three surviv- |
ing children. |
Coudersport radio station WFRM '
will be the collection station. Dona- |
tions should be sent there.
The parents and seven children,
ages 4 to 15, were trapped in their
home in a:.remote corner of Clinton
County by the fire. Like that
which killed three and severely
burned four of Clarence “Shorty”
Shaver’s family at Laketon last
week, the Clinton County fire evi-
dently started from a coal or wood
stove.
Surviving are Charles Brown, 10,
and Sandra, 17, who stayed with
neighbors that night, and one mar-
ried daughter.

Two Robbed |]
On Tuesday
Bunker Hill, Dallas
Doors Forced Open
Police
Kingston Township,
Barracks are continuing investiga-
tion of burglaries of two homes!
Tuesday, evidently only hours apart. |
Among the booty taken from the
home of Robert Slater, Shrineview,
was a .22 calibre automatic, when
the front door was pried open be-
tween moon and 4 p. m.
Kitchen door of the home of Jo-
seph Yuhas, Bunker Hill, Kingston
Township, was also pried open that
morning, and piggy banks, loose
money, and some cameras were
included in the receipts gained by
ransack’iag the house.
Both parties were out at the time
of the robberies.
Hunters were suspected in the
Bunker Hill robbery, according to
Police Chief Herbert Updyke, as |
some were seen by near-by power
line workmen. However, another
connection might be drawn from the
fact that five or six forest fires have
broken out in that area over the
past week, probably set, according
to Frank Klimek, forest ranger.
Assistant Chief Stanley Gardiner |
suspects juveniles in the Slater rob-
bery.
Biggest Santa
Comes To Town
The biggest Santa Claus that ever
visited the Back Mountain region
arrived in Dallas late Tuesday
night and stands twenty-four feet
high in front of Dallas Hardware
where he is ready to greet every-
body.
The mammoth Santa Claus was
obtained earlier this year by James
Hutchison, owner of the store, from
a Danville Merchant who offered
the hearty old fellow to the City
of Danville if the city fathers would
erect him. There was some hesita-
tion so, Mr. Hutchison, got Santa
and brought him to Dallas to please
Back Mountain kids.
He worked most of Tuesday night
erecting him. Santa stands so tall
that his head and shoulders extend
above roof of the building, and his |
legs are so long that even the tallest |;
man can walk between them in-
to the front door of the fstore.
Everybody knows Santa's worth,
especially © the "children, but Mr:
Hutchison said’ it cost ‘more than
$200 just to paint him, and David
Schooley, Comptroller of the Boston
Store, said that he must have
originally cost more than $1,500.

Fire Wipes Out
Over 70 Pigs
Chase Farmer Loses
Cows And Antiques
» Still undetermined is the cause
of a fire which wiped out be:ween
seventy and che hundred head of
livestock and a second-floor full of
valuable belongings Saturday, level-
ing a barn belonging to Reuben
Gabel, Schoolhouse Road, Chase.
Well over sevaaty pigs, many
sows due to farrow, and shoat, and
four cows, some with calves, died
blaze which
wrought a total loss before Jacksci:
or Lehman Fire Companies arrived.
More pigs were saved from the
enclosure outside the barn.
Mr, Gabel, a livestock farmer,
and his wife Teresa, were awak-
ered a few minutes before the fire,
between 3 and 4 in the morning,
by their dogs barking. They looked
out for prowlers, but could see none.
The fire was not yet evident, and
they returned to sleep.
One dog was tied in the barn
and he may have been barking at
early flames or smoke. He too
died in the fire.
Light from the blaze was visible
three miles away on Chase Moun-
tain, where it was spotted by hunt-
ers Robert Thomas and Foster
Smith, Larksville.
Thomas, son-in-law of the Gabels’
close friends Mr. and Mrs. John
Headman, Follies Road, recognized
sy the barn, and the two hunters sped
to the scene in their car, and tried
to telephone Jackson Fire Company
from the Gabels’ home. There was
a bad connection, and it was neces-
sary to use neighbor George Russ'’s
phone.
Lehman company was also called,
and some twenty men from -each
township responded. Lehman Chief
Lee Wentzel and Fred Fielding. in
charge of the Jackson group, could
cinly hope to protect the house, 250
feet from the barn.
Mrs. Gabel lost a number of an-
tiques and a collection of silver-
ware, stored on ‘the second floor.

Was It A Miracle That Saved
y hree Fire Victims" Pictures?
ross Lake Fire Chief Thomas
Garrity relates this incident as the |
miracle of the fire that snuifed out
three lives at Loyalville.
“When the fire truck arrived,”
Mr. Garrity says, “it wasn’t neces-
sary to break a window or open a
door to play a stream of water on
the holocaust. The entire structure
was in flames, doors, windows out.
“Water pressure would have
broken through any of the flaming
sides of the house. The interior |
was being consumed by crackling |
tongues of fire, partitions and ceil-
ings were falling.
“It was impossible to believe any-
thing inside could have remained
untouched by the intense heat. Then
suddenly a draft, a gust of heat,
raised a burning carpet covering a
box in the kitchen and from it
flew a sheaf of burning paper, im-
possible to save except three pieces
| which Stephen Glova grasped, ex-
tinguishing the flaming edges with
his hands.”
Those pieces
were photographs.

Photographs of
| the three children who lost their
| lives in the fire.
Mr. Glova showed them to George
Chukinis, Luzerne photographer,
who said that he could enlarge
them. :
The portraits were placed on each
victim's coffing at the funeral. .
Eipper Elected

A resident of Roxbury, Mr. Eipper

His son, Robert, is also associated
with him in the dairy business.
Mr. Eipper's victory was note-
worthy because he is a Republican

A few days earlier the local rab-
bit fancier had received another
letter from M. L. Love, South

excellence of the discourse and ex-
pressed his appreciation for south-

many tips from the program. Not

FIRE-BUG SUSPECTED
IN BUNKER HILL AREA
Forest rangers and Bunker
Hill residents extinguished the
sixth forest fire in five days on
that mountain Tuesday nis™t
around 8, possibly the work of
a pyromaniac, according to au-
thorities.
The fire, close to the summit
of the north end, covered sev-
eral acres before being brought
under control by Forest Ranger
Frank Klimek and eight or nine
men with rakes and “Indian
tanks.”
Although the hunting season
brings on an outburst of fires
every year, Klimek suspects
these recent flare-ups to be the
work of a fire-bug. The fires
were too close, he says, to be
accidents.
Tuesday's fire was readily
visible from Parrish Heights,
Dallas.

The flight which began Decem-

night was uneventful except for fog
which forced a landing in Philadel-
phia instead of Idlewild. Later the
passengers were transferred = to
Newark where she was met by her
nephew Clarence Shaver.
She will have thirty-days leave.
Miss Shaver said communications

Shaver Family
Much Improved
At Hospital
Mr. Shaver, However,
Shows Little Change
Since His Admission
With the exception of Mr. Shaver,
whose condition shows no improve
ment, all of the victims of the dis-
astrous fire at the Shaver home
at Loyalville last Wednesday morn-
ing, showed improvement this week
at Nesbitt Hospital.
Mrs. Shaver, who for a time could
not talk above a whisper because
of smoke inhalation, is doing nicely
and submitted to chest x-rays yes-
terday.
Richard, badly burned about the
back, is doing well and was out
of bed for a few moments, his
shoulders swathed in medicated
bandages. He asked for his slippers
so that he could walk down the
corridors.
Bobby, who was burned on the
arm, hand, face and ears, is coming
along well.
And the baby, David, who had
his hair singed and was bruised when
he was thrown out of a window is
good.
Peggy is staying with Mr. and
Mrs. Dale Oney and attended classes
at Lehman Monday with the Oney’s
daughter Carol.
Jackie Thomas who lives with
the Shavers and was the hero of
the fire, is staying with Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Gray at Loyalville.
Peggy, Jackie, Carol and Mr.
Gray visit the family at the hos-
pital © every evening, driving to
Kingston in Mr. Gray's car.
Great-Hearted Community
Never has this community wit-
nessed a more spontaneous out-
pouring of constructive sympathy
than was shown after the horrify-
ing news of the holocaust which
took the lives of three little girls.
“Thought you might need more
milk. They say it's the best thing
for smoke inhalation,” was the
comment of the milk truck driver.
A neighbor bustled into the Dale
Oney House where survivors of the
Clarence Shaver family had been
sheltered that dreadful night. She
had four loaves of fresh bread. An-
other neighbor brought spaghetti,
enough for a regiment,
“Have you enough coffee? sugar?
butter ? I'l bring you some."
“Wat about Pothiggh I've got
#2 warm jacket 1 ean spare.’ $
Mr, Ziba Smith was at ber sis-
ter’s Tors all day, cooking, clean-
ing, restoring the Oney house to
some sort of order after firemen
and newspaper -reporters had made
it their headquarters. Mrs. Smith's
realistic approach was, ‘Let's get
those coffee cups into the sink and
washed up. Let's clean up this
kitchen. Too many traces of what
happened here during the night.”
Mrs. Smith got it organized in no
time. ‘Mrs. Oney’s my baby sis-
ter,” she explained, ‘and this fire
was a great shock to her. Those
children were in and out of the
house, just like her own.” Then
she dashed home, snatched some
chickens out of the freezer, and was:
back again with the makings for a
big’ chicken soup.
Dale Oney stayed home from work
to handle Red Cross inquiries and
the many technicalities that arise
from a catastrophe.
Rev. George W. Clement of the
Emmanuel Mission to which the
Shaver ' family belonged, came to
see what he could do.
- Before the embers had cooled, a
fund had been started. All service
clubs of the area set wheels in mo-
tion. Harveys Lake Lions dt a
special executive session, voted
$500. Eastern Star voted support.
Dr. Aaron Lisses, contacted a
his office at the Narrows Shopping
Center on the eve of leaving for
Puerto Rico, and informed that all
the children were near-sighted and
that all glasses had been destroyed
by fire, said leave it to him, if the
sight-saving program didn’t handle
it, he would in person.
A fund started by Jim Ward,
Station WBAX exceeded $28,000 and
several hundred dollars received by
the Dallas Post for ‘relief.
And as always, there were the
sightseers, strangers who thronged
the premises Sunday for a vicarious
thrill, people who trampled sacred
ground under the slim guise of in-
telligent observation, but who were
in reality there from curiosity, and
should have been kind enough to
stay home, leaving the community
to its misery.
