Tragedy Stalks
In Sweager Home
WIFE OF FLORIN MAN KILLED
IN A DUEL DIED AT HAR-
RISBURG HOSPITAL IN
CHILD BIRTH
Sunday when the minister said,
“dust to dust” in the little church-
yard back in the Perry county
hills, tragedy stalked tragedy in
the family of Charles Sweager, of
Florin, until the neighbors feel it
must surely have stalked itself out.
Sunday Mrs. Charles Sweager
was laid to rest in those Perry
county hills, having died at child
birth in a Harrisburg hospital, di-
rectly due, the doctors say to the
nervous shock she received when
her husband and friend fought
their duel to death in her pres-
ence while in delicate health in the
home of her father at Donnelly
Mills,
It was October 20 when Charles
Sweager, railroad man, left Florin,
and went to Donnelly Mills, Perry
county. There in ' the parlor of
the modest home, he found his
wife and with her was George
Henderson, of Florin, star boarder
at the Sweager home at Florin. It
was over Henderson that Sweager
and his wife had quarreled and in
July she left her Florin home and
went to her father’s home in Per-
ry county.
Sweager took his wife to task
for harboring Henderson, as he
put it. Harsh word followed harsh
word, Sweager reached for his hip-
pocket and Henderson did the
same. The little oil lamp flicker-
iny in the darkened room, went
out. The revolvers began to spit
fire and when the parents of Mrs.
Sweager and neighbors rushed in,

Removal ofthe 3 0-
Year-Old Pipe Line,
LARGE FORCE OF MEN ARE
' DIGGING UP PIPES AT THE
RATE OF MORE THAN
A MILE A DAY
The pipe line of the Crescent
Company is being removed from
the ground, where it has lain for
over thirty years. The transporta-
tion of oil by pump and pipe was
abandoned a few years ago, and
transportation is now done by rail-
road or tanker ship. The pipe line
extends from a point in Ohio,
across Pennsylvania to Philadelphia
This, pipe is buried at a depth
rangi. two to four feet. It
crosse.e streams, farms, gardens and
mountains. Some time ago the
company decided to raise the line
-and sold it to the highest bider, a
New York dealer. Under terms of
agreement the company is to raise
the pipe, disconnect it and load it
on cars. Some work was done on
the line last year, but it was aban-
doned when cold weather set in.
Recently the work was resumed.

LANCASTER COUNTY IN THE
REVOLUTIONARY WAR, THIS
WEEK ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY YEARS
AGO
The following article was written
for the Bulletin by H. Frank Eshle-
man, Etq., of Lancaster:
One hundred and fifty years ago
this week we find the committee of
Safety of the Province of Pa. call-
Ing again on Lancaster County for
300 more rifles. It was decided that
the Lancaster County Committee
should try to make the arrangements
with our local gunsmiths to make
the rifles as the price the Province
was able te. offer was not satisfac-
tory to the gunsmiths, -and-it was
thought that the local patriots could
get them to yield better than the
Philad®lphia authorities could, The
trouble was that our local gunsmiths
were informed that the gun makers
of Philadelphia and of the western
counties of Pa. were being paid more
than the offers made for rifles here,
and this locality had the reputation
of making the best in the Province.
Incidentally the Lancaster County
Tommittee was highly complimented
by the General Committee of the
Province for the manner in which
thev have always “attended to the
public service.”
During this same time our local
Col. Samuel Miles, Commander of
the Miles Battalion of Riflemen,
composed of about 10 companies, of
whom two or three were local men,
was authorized to purchase the
rifles from all sources in the Pro-
vince of Pa. He was recognized as
an expert in the making and in the
use of rifles in war. George Ross
was chairman of the Committee of
Safety of the Province during these
days:
There were two George Rosses,
one a colonel and the other a civil
personage. The signer of the De-
claration of Independence was t
latter. He was president or chair-
man of the. Committee of Safety at
intervals.

BASE BALL RECEIPTS
GIVEN TO THE LEGION
Many years ago this town suc-
cessfully supported a professional
base ball team. The writer manag
ed the team and Mr. B, W Brown,
was treasurer of an association of
local business men who sponsored
the movement. The team had a
successful season and when all ex-
penses were paid there remained
about $70.00 in the treasury.
Mr. Brown placed the money on
deposit in one of our local banks,
since which time it has been draw-
ing interest. Many times since
then Mr. Brown was asked to do-
nate the amount to base ball teams
but he refused.
On Saturday, with the
of the officers of the old base
Asso., Mr. Brown turned over
the treasurer of the recent Legion
Home drive, a check for $77.83,

CREDITORS MAKE AGREEMENT |
TO LIQUIDATE PROPERTY;
NO ASSIGNMENT MADE
AGREES TO TRANS-

An agreement that all assets of
M. R. Hoffman be preserved and
liquidated was made at a meeting
yesterday afternoon of Mr. Hoff- |
man with his creditors. There
has been no assignment made for
the benefit of the creditors as yet.
Mr. Hoffman, however, has agreed
to make such transfer of property
rights it is understood.
Mr. Hoffman’s assets exceed his
liabilities by considerable margin;
the assets being placed at two mil-
lion, and the liabilities, above a
million. However, because the as-
sets are largely in farms with their
equipment, and in case tobacco,
for all of which the market is in-
active, they are what is termed in
banking circles as frozen assets.”
Among the case tobacco is ap-
proximately 12,000 cases of “Lit-
tle Dutch,” besides many thou-

creases. |
Mr. Hoffman, as president of the |
Trust company, of Lancas-

Local Physician or
Highly Honored
THE LATE DR. J. L. ZIEGLER,
OF THIS PLACE, RATED
AMONG THE LEADING
COUNTY DOCTORS
The following interesting article
relative to a former local physi-
cian appeared in a recent issue of
the Lancaster Sunday News. The
subject of the sketch is the father
of Dr. James Ziegler, of this boro.
The article follows:
Dr. J. L. Ziegler died at the
ripe age of 84 and for more than
half a century had been the medi-
cal oracle of Mount Joy—an hon-
ored member of the Lancaster City
and County and State Medical so
cieties. I never failed to meet
him when he came to Lancaster,
as I greatly enjoyed a conversa-
tion with him, for he had the
gifts of the scholar and student,
as well as medical knowledge.
He never failed to be present
when the Medical Society had its
regular monthly meeting and I us-
ually made it a point to meet the
society when it aljourned to greet
the medical friends I knew and
thoroughly liked.
In personal appearance Dr. Zieg-
ler, did not so much seem the dis-
tinguished physician, as he could
readily be taken by a stranger as
a clergymen. His white necktie,
invariably worn, and his clerical
dress could easily lead to that il-
lusion. Unlike most physicians, he
did not confine his studies to the
science of medicine, but he kept
