Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 6, 1904 LEG BROKEN TWICE Gilbert, the seven year old son of Jas. DIAMOND, of Barron Hill, had his feet caught in the spokes of a buggy wheel on Wednesday and had the left limb broken twice before he was released. The boy had accompanied his father to the field with a horse and light driving buggy where they looked after a lot of cattle. The father had just gotten into the buggy to start for home and several boys were with him. Gilbert was still on the ground and when the carriage started, he made an attempt to climb into the rear of the buggy. In so doing his foot slipped and he fell, his left leg being caught between the spokes of the wheel. The victim shrieked in agony, this called the attention of the father and other boys. The team was stopped and the boy released as quickly as possible, when it was found that he could not use the limb. On being removed to the hospital at Roxborough the physician discovered a compound fracture of the bones near the hip. VETERINARIAN AT EAST GREENVILLE Dr. D.E. REINERT, veterinarian, formerly of Boyertown, has established a permanent office at the Keely House, East Greenville.

SCHUMAKER, of Reading, a student at the Hill School, Pottstown, was struck by a train near Phoenixville on Wednesday and received injuries that resulted fatally. The boy was on his way home from an outing and his money gave out at Perkiomen Junction where he was put from the train. He then started to walk home and afterwards met with the accident. FELL INTO TROUGH OF SCALDING WATER Martin SCHMIDT, an employe of the slaughtering establishment of Otto MEYER, of Allentown, fell into a trough at the hot water spigot and was scalded about the arms and breast. His cries brought the assistance of other employes who pulled him out and summoned a physician. SCHMIDT was taken to his home where his injuries were attended to. RESIGNATION SENT FROM EUROPE Rev. Dr. W.C. SCHAEFFER, pastor of Zion's Reformed Chruch, Chambersburg, sent his resignation from London, in order to accept the chair of New Testament exegesis at the Reformed Theological Seminary at Lancaster. He will serve until October, completing a ten-year's pastorate. SURGICAL OPERATION CURES INTESTINAL WOUNDS A remarkable surgical cure has been effected in the case of William FURLOW, who was discharged on Sunday from the Pottsville Hospital.

His left side was burned. AN INSULT AVENGED To avenge an alleged insult to a bride of a few months, a crowd of fully two hundred Pottstown people took in a prize fight on Thursday evening between Harvey KECK and Henry STRAUB, two young men of that town. STRAUB it is claimed, insulted the wife of KECK recently, by making disparanging remarks and to wipe out the insult KECK accused STRAUB on meeting him on the street. The young men crossed the river into Chester county, so as to avoid the interference of the police, and there selected the fighting grounds. The spot selected, the men stripped to the waist and chose a referee, and then got at each other in the presence of a crowd that had followed to see the encounter. The advantage was with KECK from the beginning as he was the heavier of the two. Both men clinched and fouled repeatedly despite the protests of the referee. The sympathies of the crowd were with KECK, the husband, and in the second round he rushed his apponent and slugged him severely. Both men fought vigorously as they were wild with anger. STRAUB was severely pounded when he caught KECK's finger between the jaws and held until KECK was forced to give up. The referee awarded the fight to KECK, but it is probable that both will be arrested. PENNSBURG COUPLE SAVED BY BRIDGE RAILING On driving on the road from Geryville to Pennsburg, on Tuesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. E.J. WIEDER, of Pennsburg, were saved from what might have proved fatal injuries. The evening was extra dark on account of a threatening shower and Mr. WIEDER could not see whether he kept in the roadway or not. When they reached the bridge crossing the Macoby, just east of town, Mrs. WIEDER asserted that they were aside of the road way and cautioned her husband to be on the lookout for the bridge, but he asserted they were not yet near it and as he made the assertion the left side of the carriage went down. The horse fortunately stopped when called and the couple got out, but it was too dark to investigate their troubles. While trying to get out of the difficulty a man with a lantern came long when it was found that both wheels on the left side of the carriage were down on the side of the bridge planking and that the carriage was held in an upright position by means of the side rail. Had this given way the buggy would have fallen over and deposited the occupants in the creek. The fall might have resulted in a serious injury but the rail happily allowed them to escape all damage and injury. PAID DEBT, CAN DIE IN PEACE "That is the last cent I owe to any one, I can now die in peace," said Mrs. Margaret MORAN, of Conshohocken, now 84 years old, who, nine years ago, purchased from a conshohocken grocer two pounds of sugar, and when she come to pay for it found she had no change. The purchase was forgotten by both the merchant and the purchaser until Tuesday, when a feeble, bent old woman, entered the store and tendered 16 cents in payment of the bill. WOMEN FIGHT FIRE With the heroism of trained firemen two heroic women battle with flames at Mount Tabor, Columbia county, on Wednesday. Lugging a tub of water up a ladder to the barn roof, Mrs. S. Belle SCHULLENHAGER and her summer guest, Mrs. Mamie MINSTER, of New York City, saved the destruction of the barn on the premises of the former. For several hours the women were on the roof alternately throwing water, until the fire was under control. Both were prostrated after they got down, and both suffered intensely from burns. A BRUTAL ACT Three strangers walked down Main street, Pennsburg, on Tuesday evening and when they came to the home of Irvin EMERT, a kitten was playing on the pavement. One of the men called the kitten and finally succeeded in coaxing it near enough to fondle it, but instead of treating it kindly he seized the harmless animal and hurled it violently on the pavement where it was found lifeless on Wednesday morning. Mr. EMERT is trying to locate the party and if found will have him arrested for cruelty to animals. CHARGED WITH FORGING Henry MILLER, of Doylestown, was lodged in jail on the charge of forging the name of his employer, A. Fretz WEISEL, to a check for $6.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 6, 1904 THE "OLD OAKEN BUCKET" IS BECOMING A RELIC OF THE PAST Samuel WOODWORTH immortalized the primitive method of getting water from the bowels of the earth, when he wrote that famous poem, "The Old Oaken Bucket." The present generation, with our wind pumps, dobble acting force pumps and other modern devices for raising water from wells and cisterns, can hardly form a conception of the means employed by our forefathers for this purpose as practically all of the "old oaken buckets" have been displaced by new innovations. Years ago the country was dotted with pumpless well. The earliest methods employed to obtain the pure sparking fluid distilled in nature's retorts and collected in the artifical cavities, known as wells, was by means of a long sapling resting on a pole, serving as a pivot for the sapling to swing on. This swinging leaver as so arranged that one end of it stood over the well and to this end was attached an oaken bucket by means of a chain, while a dangling rope was fastened to the other end. The weight of the bucket, when empty, was sufficient to tilt the lever thus formed and the bucket would descend into the well. Then by means of the rope the other end would be drawn down, bringing the laden bucket dripping to the mouth. Later this swinging bar was displaced by the windlass, and for long years this was considered the acme of perfection, but modern inventions have displaced this improved contrivance and few are the wells that still boast an "oaken bucket." Our illustration shows one of these antiquated wells, located near Finland and owned by Noah SOUDER (picture), who stands by the side and holds the crank. Mr. SOUDER, although working with improved machinery in his blacksmith shop which is near by, would not part with this friend of his boyhood days for the best pump ever invented. For long years he has been drawing his water this way and he knows that he gets it fresh and sparkling every time he draws, while if he had a pump, he would always, during warm weather, find the pump stalk filled with water that might have been standing for hours and become warm and insipid. Time and change are making great inroads on our old landmarks and before many years have passed away "the old oaken bucket," too, will have passed, and even the beautiful poem will not be understood by the students of the future unless by means of copious notes furnished by the passing generation. MAYNE BOLTS AGAIN Former Assemblyman, Joseph W. MAYNE, of Lehigh, was defeated for a renomination at the Democratic convention held at Allentown last Saturday, because he read himself out of the party less than a year ago by resigning and declaring that he did not in the future claim any support from the party, on Wednesday announced himself as an independent candidate for Assembly. MAYNE voted for the Muzzler Bill and was very much censured for his action. This angered him and he took the step fatal to his future, as a trusted party man. All had supposed he would be consistent, but to the deep regret of many Democrats, however, he came back to the fold and announced himself as a candidate for renomination. From the very first he was suspected of contemplating treachery anew, and it was an open secret that if defeated he would run independently. His overwhelming defeat followed at the convention last Saturday. GOLD MINE NEAR BLUE CHURCH The citizens of Coopersburg, are becoming excited over the discovery of a gold mine right in their midst. The precious bit of land is a portion of the William KEMMERER property, near Blue Church. Mr. STONEBACK, formerly of the Stoneback Hotel, Quakertown, is engaged in forming a stock company to operate the mine. It is claimed that ore testing $38 to $40 a ton has been taken out of the mine. The mine was opened several years ago, but it was never worked successfully. POCKET BOOK LOST AND FOUND W.D. MCGRATH, of Reading, peddling green groceries through these towns, lost his pocket book on Thursday evening containing between $14 and $15, in the yard of the Pennsburg Hotel. The same was found on Friday morning by the hostler, Wm. BOYER, who on finding who had lost it, kindly turned it over to the owner. Mr. MCGRATH was deeply grateful for the honesty displayed by Mr. BOYER and rewarded him accordingly. POOR DIRECTOR SUES COUNTY Suit has been brought against Berks county, by William M. KASE for $3750, back salary. Mr. KASE retired as poor director on January 1, 1904, serving three years and drawing $250 a year as salary. He claims he should come under the new law which entitles directors of the poor to an annual salary of $1500. BIG ORDER FOR SNAKE SKINS The snake king, of Stroudsburg, Monroe County, has booked an order for 10,000 snake skins to be delivered to a firm of purse makers in Europe. Rattle snake skins are required and Guffydd JONES, the catcher will get from one to five dollars for each skin. Pike County is one of the favorite hunting grounds for the reptiles and Mr. JONES has eight men in his employ in that region to capture the wary game. After the skins are secured they are carefully tanned prior to shipment and are later made into the most costly purses. DETERMINED TO DIE Four unsuccessful attempts at suicide were made by Mrs. Frank RHINE, of near Myerstown, on Wednesday. On four separate occasions she sat on the railroad near her home, when she saw trains approaching, but fortunately, on all occasions her presence on the track was discovered in time to thwart her attempts, and she is now being closely watched. Domestic troubles are blamed. ALLEGED BABY STRANGLER HELD Annie WALTZ, aged 17, of Williamsport, was held by the Coroner for trial at court on a charge of causing the death of her infant child by strangulation. The child's body was found in a box. The mother is very ill at the hospital.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - August 6, 1904 NEGRO TRIES ASSAULT Two young girls, Mary CISNEY and Minnie CROWNOVER, aged 12 and 14 years respectively, were most brutally assaulted on Wednesday evening one mile west of Huntington, while out picking flowers, by an unknown negro. An improper proposal was made and the girls fled and screamed. The assailant gave chase with drawn revolver. A freight train came along and the situation was taken in by the crew who jumped. At sight of the coming crew the negro became scared and fled. The train crew reported the outrage to the nearest station agent, who telegraphed the description to the nearby stations. The man was captured at the point of a revolver at Petersburg and brought to Huntington, where the girls identified him. The town was aroused by the outrage and lynching was freely talked of, but the excitement has somewhat abated and the law may take its course. ARTERY CUT THROUGH BREAK OF LADDER While placing tin spouting at the building of the Eureka Ribbon Company, Pennsburg, on Thursday afternoon, C.M. DIEHL, was standing on a ladder and pushing upward on a piece of spouting that resisted. The ladder broke and Mr. DIEHL fell heavily for a distance of about five feet and struck his head on a stone wall a few feet from the foot of the ladder, cutting a gash a little more than an inch long in the forehead and cutting an artery. His father, W.B. DIEHL, was assisting in the work and at once came to the assistance of the fallen man and tried to staunch the spurting blood. Dr. J.G. MENSCH was called who dressed the wound. On investigation it was found that Mr. DIEHL was injured at one of his elbows and at one of the shins. SEES AFTER SIX YEARS BLINDNESS Martin ROWLAND, an old resident of William Penn, a suburb of Shennadoah, who has been blind for the past six years, was made a happy man, when a local physician removed a large cataract from the old gentleman's left eye, restoring his sight in that eye. Another cataract will be removed from the right eye within the next few days, and the doctor hopes the operation will be equally successful. VICIOUS DOG KILLED During the absence of Wm. A. SNYDER, of near Barto, one of his dogs acted very strangely. Mrs. SNYDER at once send for him to come and tie the dog.

HUNG TIGHT TO SWIMMING FATHER Fred. SEITZ, of Scranton, attempted to swim across Lake Sheridan, near Factoryville, with his little daughter on his back.
