Michel: I have son Nicholas BUNN married Margaret JONES, widow of John YOCUM. But I do not have his children as indicated by his will abstract. He may have married earlier before he married Margaret since there were 7 named in his will. And if he and Margaret married in 1764, she would probably be too old to have children with him - age 40 - esp 7 more!! They are buried next to each other at St Gabriel's Cemetery in Douglasville, but his dates are not legible. They were married at St Gabriel's and the record shows he was from Philadelphia, and she was a widow.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 22, 1905 INSTALLATION OF PASTOR OF SUMNEYTOWN CHARGE Installation services will be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock, a.m., at Keelor's church and at Sumneytown at 3 p.m., when the recently elected pastor of the Sumneytown charge, Rev. Charles F. DAPP (picture), will be installed. The ceremonies will be performed by Rev. LAURY, of Perkasie, President of the Norristown Conference and Dr. SPIEKER, of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. Charles F. DAPP, was born in Harrisburg, on the 4th of July, 1880, where his parents had settled from Wurtenburg, Germany. With his parents he regularly attended the services of the German Zions Evangelical Lutheran church at Harrisburg where he was confirmed on March 26, 1893. Mr. DAPP's preliminary education was received in the Harrisburg public schools having graduated from the grammar department with honor, he entered the Harrisburg High School. Later on he entered Wagner College at Rochester, N.Y., principally to study the German language. He was graduated from this institution in June, 1902, as valedictorian of his class. In the fall of that year he entered the Lutheran Theological Seminary located at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia. Mr. DAPP's first summer vacation after having entered the Seminary, 1903, was spent in serving a congregation in the Pottsville conference and in preaching for different pastors in that district. His next vacation was passed in Lancaster, having received a call from the Mission Church of the Redeemer in that beautiful city. He accepted and engaged in mission work. The congregation which he served is yet too weak to call a pastor, but has now procured a fine piece of ground whereupon they soon expect to erect a small chapel. While at Lancaster, Mr. DAPP also acted as assistant to Rev. John W. RICHARDS, pastor of Christ church. Mr. DAPP completed his Seminary course and graduated with eighteen other young men on the 13th of June, 1905. He has been called to the pastorate of the Sumneytown and Keelor's parish, which for so many years stood under the efficient and capable leadership of the late Rev. W.B. FOX. Mr. DAPP has accepted this call and took charge of the congregation after his ordination in June, which took place in Trinity Church, Lancaster. Rev. DAPP looks forward with great pleasure to the time when he can devote all his energies and strength to the congregations which have elected him, for the Glory of God and to the edification of His faithful people in their great work for salvation.

CANOE UPSET IN RIVER In taking a pleasure trip on the Lehigh river at Allentown the canoe of a pleasure party upset on Saturday through the inexperience of the paddlers and the entire party was in danger of drowning as none could swim. The party was composed of Misses Ella HERBINE, of East Greenville, and Isabel KAUFFMAN, nurses of the Allentown Hospital; Dr. John PHILLIPS, resident physician at the same institution, and P.W. LEISENRING, a reporter on the Morning Call. A scene of great confusion followed. Another boat nearby in which Miss Clara SCHMEHL, another nurse, and Percy B. RUHE, another Call reporter, went quickly to the rescue, as did also a crowd of boys who were swimming not far away. The danger was great as the water where the accident happened was 20 feet deep and every one of the unfortunates sank twice. Mr. LEISENRING was finally brought to shore almost drowned. The ladies were grabbed by the hair and hauled into RUHE's canoe. Dr. PHILLIPS fortunately came into contact with the capsized boat, and keeping cool kept his head above water.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 15, 1905 WANDERING WOMAN FOUND IN WOODS Mrs. Hannah BICKERT, aged 64, of Bethlehem, in a fit of melancholy caused by the death of her husband, wandered away from home on Sunday. Although persistent efforts were made to find her, she was not discovered until Wednesday noon. When found she was in a forest ten miles away from home. The barking of a faithful shepherd dog which had followed the demented woman in her rambles, led to her discovery. It is thought she walked about fifty miles and subsisted on raspberries and apples. When found she was unable to speak and had to be fed like a child. SUITS AGAINST SECRET ORDERS Deputy Factory Inspector, Gus. EGOLF, of Norristown, had warrants issued for E.K.

TELEPHONE COMPANY WINS POLE FIGHT The consolidated Telephone Company won in court at Reading, in its controversy with Daniel K.

DROWNED WHILE ON A DAY'S OUTING George MISSIMER, a life long resident of Pottstown, was drowned on Thursday afternoon while swimming across the Schuylkill, about a mile below Pottstown. The unfortunate man had gone to enjoy a days outing with the family with which he boarded and during the afternoon decided to take a swim in the river. He had gone about two thirds across the stream when he suddenly sank out of sight and those who saw him disappear were not in a position to go to the rescue as none could swim nor was there a boat at hand. After the drowning a boat was secured and the body was recovered with a grappling hook after searching for about an hour and a half and when the body was recovered it was found that the muscles of the lower limbs had contracted so as to be drawn out of shape. The drowned man was 42 years of age and is survived by one brother and one sister. A WOMAN FULL OF LEECHES A Salisbury, Lehigh county woman, who lately ate much water cress at the advice of a friend, for the restoration of health, became worse and consulted a physician. Her stomach had become bloated and it was decided that an operation was necessary. But the woman, after a severe emetic, threw up 166 leeches, nearly all of them full grown. Water cress when first taken from the water, is full of minute leeches. To get rid of them it is customary to first steep the cress in salt water. This the woman neglected to do. BALL PLAYER BITTEN BY SNAKE Edward WALDMAN, aged 11 years, while playing ball in a vacant lot at Reading, was bitten in the right leg above the ankle by a snake. One of his companions batted the ball into some underbrush and WALDMAN went in to get it, when he was bitten. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital and a short time after an operation was performed. He is in a serious condition. FINED FOR ADULTERATING MILK Preferring to pay a fine and costs rather than put up a defense against charges of selling adulterated milk, four dealers paid fines and costs aggregating $230, in Philadelphia, Thursday. Among the quartette was Eugene K. MICHENER, Mechanicsville, Bucks county. The charge was putting water in the milk. MICHENER was fined $50 and $7.50 costs. ARM SQUEEZED BY BIG SNAKE While Mrs. Susan LARAMY, of Allentown, was picking raspberries on Saturday afternoon a big blacksnake which had been hiding under one of the bushes suddenly coiled itself about her arm. Being an athletic woman she put forth all her strength and wrenched it loose, after which she killed it. Her arm is covered with bruises. GET DRUNK BY PERMISSION The Nebraska legislature proposes to allow a citizen to get drunk three times a year. A law making it compulsory for some people to "get sober" three times a year would be more to the point.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 15, 1905 A MISSIONARY TO FAR OFF CHINA AT HOME Mary A. FUNK (picture). One from our own section who has devoted years of her life in behalf of the benighted heathen writes as follows: "Long before I was grown up or even a Christian, I had a desire to be a missionary. This desire came through reading books that belonged to the Sunday school library of the Mennonite church, in Hereford, where I attended Sunday school as a child, later served as a teacher, and subsequently became a member of the church. The knowledge of heathen lands without the Gospel and men and women sent forth as workers stimulated in me a desire to go myself. I was born on the farm of my father, John H. FUNK, near Schultzville, Berks county, and fully appreciate the advantages of country life and farm training as a child. My father selling his farm in 1880, made me free to leave home. I had then become a Christian and with it came a longing to go into active christian work. I went to Dr. CULLIS, of Boston, to engage in the work. He had a large connection with many departments. I could only enter on the condition that I was willing to do anything offered. I was placed in the Consumptive Home and soon had charge of three wards, for six months. Next, I was promoted to the Cancer Home as matron and housekeeper, where I remained another five months. This work however was too much for my age and experience and made me realize the need of definite preparation for service. This led to my entering the Training School for Nurses, at Bellevue Hospital, New York, from which I graduated in 1884. During my stay in New York, I came in touch with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and my next step was to enter their Bible school, where I followed systematic Bible study and received practical training for christian work. In October, 1888, this society sent me to china, being their first missionary to that great land, other workers followed in a year. The work was started and has steadily increased until at the present time we have seventy-four missionaries. Some of these are in the extreme south, others in the west, on the Thibetan border and still others in Central China along the Yang-tze river. I have been in the latter place at the port of Wu-hu. Here we started our work and I have lived there most of the time I have been in China. I was in China during the Boxer outbreak in 1900, but all the missionaries of our section escaped. We had to go to the coast and remain there for some months. During our stay on the coast I was in the British Hospital at Wei-hei-wei and helped to nurse the soldiers. Over twenty of our workers were cruelly massacred in North China and some had to go through the seige of Peking. This is my second furlough, I was home ten years ago and returned to China in 1896. During my second term I had charge of our Training Home, in Wie-hu, a home where our new missionaries stay while studying the language. This usually requires one year. It is also a home for our workers who need a change and rest, or where they go for treatment, when sick. Here we also hold conferences once a year for mission and native workers. As to my travels I can merely give an outline, as to begin to describe places or customs of the people in the different lands would make too lengthy an article. The direct route to or from China is to come across the pacific to the western coast and cross the States by railroad, but coming home I took the longer route, via Europe. I sailed from Shanghai to Hong Kong, thence to Singapore to Penang, to Rangoon, to Calcutta, from there I went by railroad to Darfeeling in the Himalaya, where one sees the grandest scenery and the highest peaks in the world and from these heights, looks over into that great land, Thibet, called by some, "the roof of the world." I went back to Calcutta and took the Great Eastern Railroad of India and crossed India, taking in the most important places as Benares, the sacred city of the Hindoos; Lucknow and Cawnpore, so closely connected with the Mutiny of 1857; Agra, where one sees the Laj-ma-Nal, the finest specimen of Fastern art; then to Delhi, the old capitol of India, with its marble palaces and Mosaics; then through Jeypon to our mission districts in the Western part where we have about ninety missions. After six weeks in India I sailed from Bombay to Aden and through the Red Sea to Port Said, thence to Jaffa into Palestine, going via. railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem. I spent four weeks in the Holy Land, seeing about all there was to see in and about Jerusalem, went to the Mount of Olives, going to Bethlehem, Hebron also Bethany, Jericho, Dead Sea and the Jordan. I also took a trip to the Samaritan district, to Shechem which lies between Mt. Ebol and Mt. Gerazim, Jacob's well, the ruins of Samarid, Herod's and places of lesser note. One is influenced not with the beauty of Palestine but with the fulfillment of prophecy: "Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles." "Samaria shall be made desolate." "Your country is desolate." I had to retrace my steps, going via. Jaffa back to Port Said and sailed for Naples and crossed Europe by railroad, goin first to Rome, then to Florence, Milan, Lucerne, Paris and London, at the latter place I spent ten days very profitably and went by railway to Edinburg and sailed from Glasgow, for New York, where I arrived May 15, a year ago. This year at home has been spent mostly in deputation work for the Christian Missionary Alliance. It has been a blessing as well as a pleasure to meet with the many friends at home, yet I feel very much like a visitor here and shall be glad to return to China in the early fall. The Lord is greatly blessing the work in China and many are turning to Him. We find Rom. 11:6 true, "The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth," also Rom. 10:14, "How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed, and how shall they hear without a preacher." How shall they preach except they be sent? China is open as never before. We need more workers, men and women constrained by the love of Christ. "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he will thrust forth labourers into his harvest." The address of Miss FUNK during the remainder of her vacation is Beulah Home, 65 Sheridan Ave., Bellevue, Pa.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 15, 1905 MUTINOUS SOLDIERS SPREAD-EAGLED Three men spread-eagled in front of the guard tent of the Second Regiment was the unpleasant sight which greeted the eyes of the visitors to Robert E. PATTISON Camp, at Perkasie, on Monday morning. The three men were placed under arrest during the night for being unruly and mutinous. They resisted arrest and it was only after a severe struggle in which several officers, including Col. BROCK, assisted, that they were subdued and fastened securely by having their wrists and ankles tied to tent pegs driven in the ground. They were released when the police detail went to work and were set to task digging a ditch, which was needed. One of them, James DUFFY, who seemed to be the ringleader of the crowd, refused to work, and began to fight the guard. He was taken back to the guard tent and spread-eagled again, this time with his face to the ground. The other two, Walter P. DOWING and Charles V. BARRETT, submitted and worked faithfully until it was time to take them before a summary court-martial which had been ordered. The three men were tried and found guilty of mutinous conduct and other infractions of the regulations. They were sentenced to be dishonorably discharged and to be drummed out of camp. The latter part of the sentence was carried out on Tuesday afternoon. It was learned that the three men had enlisted only four weeks before the regiment went into camp. The trio are wanted in Philadelphia and should have appeared in Court there on Monay to answer to a charge of assault and battery on an old man who keeps a grocery store on Ridge avenue. Sunday night was a bad one for the element which does not like to obey the laws. Chaplain HOYT, of the Sixth, heard that gambling was going on in the tents where some of the negro cooks sleep. He found a good big crap game in full operation. There was a pile of money and the player who had the bones was just crying out "come seben," when the tent flap was thrown back and the chaplain stood revealed. He ordered the money to be thrown down. When this had been done the chaplain confiscated the dice box, but not being posted about the game, neglected to seize the dice. He read the negroes, a lecture and notified them that a repetion of the offence would result in their being driven out of camp. DAMAGES FOR BEING IN JAIL One of the most peculiar actions in tresspass ever instituted in the Berks Court was started by Stephen M. MEREDITH, council for William BATES, who is s uing to recover $5000 damages from Milton R. SAILER, for malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. BATES was a boarder of the defendant and became indebted to him to the extent of $2.14. SAILER swore out a warrant and BATES was arrested on May 5 and in default of bail was sent to jail, where he remained until June 16, a period of 41 days. At Criminal Court the prosecution failed and an acquittal resulted. BATES claims that the information sworn to was false and malicious and his imprisonment unwaranted and unlawful. SPARE FAMILY REUNION The third annual reunion of the descendants of Leonard SPARE will be held at Zieber's Park Saturday, August 5th. The greater number of the descendants of this family have settled in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, Leonard SPARE having come from Germany and settled in Worcester township. The oldest living ancestor is Mrs. Ann BEAN, of Royersford, who is a great-grand-daughter of Leonard SPARE. HUSBAND DESERTED BY WIFE While away from home following his occupation as a painter, the wife of Samuel STECKEL, of Norristown, deserted her husband last Saturday, accompanied by a young man who had been a guest of the family for several weeks. The runaway wife took along her three-year old child, $540 in money and some silver ware. DEATH SIGNALED BY HUNGRY CATTLE Hearing his cattle bellowing for food on Monday, neighbors of Daniel HARTMAN, an aged farmer, of Montgomery, who lived alone, climbed through a second-story window of his home and found him dead in bed. He had apparently expired while asleep. GOLDEN WEDDING Among a host of friends assembled for the occasion Mr. and Mrs. Jonas BILGER, of Argus, celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last Sunday at their home. A large number of relatives and friends had assembled to do honor to the occasion. Mr. BILGER has attained the age of 73 years while Mrs. BILGER is 70, and both are well preserved. The guests brought numerous and costly presents of gold as well as a bountiful supply of provisions to serve as dinner for the occasion, to which all did ample justice. Those who participated in the festivities were: Mr. and Mrs. Jonas BILGER, of Argus; Mr. and Mrs. Harvey BILGER, Servates, Irene, Jonas and Rudy BILGER, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. BEALER and daughter, Edna, Abraham BARNDT, Mr. and Mrs. William LACHMAN, Rodger, Madaline and James LACHMAN, of Tylersport; Mr. and Mrs. Walter BAUM, Miss Ida BARNDT, Remanus DENNER, Mr. and Mrs. Allen HAINES, Ruth, Mary, Russel and George HAINES, of Sellersville; Mr. and Mrs. Hiram BILGER, George, Katie and Mary Ann BILGER of California; Mr. and Mrs. Allen BILGER, Ida, Robert, Cora and Elsie BILGER, of Quakertown; George LAPP and daughter, Annie, Mr. and Mrs. Darius AYRES, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Frank FROMMER, Amelia and Frank FROMMER, Jr., of Darby; Mr. WEST and son John, of Argus. WOMAN ASSAULTED IN BED Mrs. Catherine KREIDER, a widow, aged 55, living at Lancaster, was the victim of outrageous assault on Wednesday before daybreak. A man broke into the house and entered her bed room. The assailant struck her on the head until she was almost insensible. The screams of the woman awakened her daughter who aroused the neighbors. The man who was in bare feet escaped by fleeing through a corn field. The neighborhood is highly incensed but the victim of the brutal assault is unable to furnish any description that might serve to lead to arrest the crimminal. BLOOD POISONING FROM PIN A prominent railroad man, Louis REIBER, of Pottstown, is in a critical condition from blood poisoning. It resulted from his picking his gums with a brass pin. He will lose all his teeth and his hearing will be destroyed even if he recovers. SUNDAY SERVICES Rev. H.G. ALLEBACH, of Green Lane, will speak at the Mennonite church, at Bally, on Sunday afternoon. In the evening he and the pastor, Rev. A.S. SHELLY will go to the Home at Frederick to hold a service there. PASTOR OVERCOME During the Sunday morning service at St. Paul's Lutheran church, Rev. O.F. WAAGE was overcome with a spell of weakness and had to shorten the services. He has since recovered and is again in his normal condition.

He is a gifted orator, and his quaint sayings, striking epigrams and unconventional wisdom have been quoted far and wide, and have caused the newspapers to bestow on him the title of the "Sage of West Chester." His address at the Alumni outing will be his first speech in Montgomery county. Plymouth Park is situated on the Chestnut Hill and Norristown trolley road, a short distance east of Norristown.

ERDMAN, of Allentown was the victim of an unfortunate accident on Monday morning in which his jaw was broken and it is feared his skull was fractured. In crossing Hamilton at the intersection of Sixth street he had to pass around a big trolley car. A coal team came along at a rapid gait, the horses of which had been scared by two automobiles and the exploding of some fire crackers, so that the driver lost control of the team. Mr. ERDMAN could not get out of the way on account of the obstructing car and was knocked down, the rear wheel of the 2000 pound wagon passing over his head. Mr. ERDMAN was picked up in an unconscious condition and on examination it was found that his jaw was broken and on the right temple, where the wheel had struck, there was a lump larger than an egg, filled with blood. It is feared that the skull is crushed at that point. There are but slight hopes entertained for the unfortunate man's recovery. SOLD WIFE FOR $5 Igel VINO, an Italian of Pittston who sold his wife for $5, was arrested because the woman refused to fulfill her part of the transaction. A few months ago VINO was married. He soon tired of wedded life, and agreed to sell his wife to John SANDY, who had long been in love with her. SANDY paid the money to VINO, but his wife refused to be sold. SANDY had VINO arrested for the purpose of recovering his $5. VINO refunded the $5 to SANDY, paid the cost in the case and was discharged. FINED FOR SENDING VALENTINE Mrs. Ida M. ZIEGLER, of Altoona, who had sent a comic valentine representing a long-tongued woman to her next door neighbor, was on Thursday directed by the court to pay a fine of $20 and the costs, the judge having refused to accept the plea of the license of St. Valentine.

Luther PATTON, a prosperous farmer of Caernarvon, was found hanging in the barn on the old PATTON homestead, near Joanna Furnace, about two and one-half miles northwest of Morgantown. He was secretary of the Caernarvon School Board, and took an active part in erecting the large new High School at Morgantown. It is said that there was objection to the cost of the building. Mr. PATTON was one of those who favored a large building. The contention over the matter preyed on his mind, it is said. Frank KILMER, near Stouchsburg, hanged himself with a half-inch rope, which was fastened to the upright ladder of a hay wagon. The vehicle was loaded with hay and stood in Mr. KLIMER's barn. He had been despondent for some years because of the protracted illness of his wife. CONVICT DIES IN JAIL Charles JANEY, aged 26, a colored man died in jail at Norristown from pulmonary complaint. His wife took charge of his body and removed it to Virginia. JANEY, it is claimed, was responsible for the death of James BRISCOE, a negro, and was convicted in June, 1904, of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to eighteen months. As three months and fifteen days had been deducted from his sentence on account of good behavior he would have been released from jail in August. BABY MAY DIE OF RAT'S BITE When Mrs. Herbert DOUGLASS, of Upper Merion, arrived at the cradle to ascertain the cause of her infant daughter's crying, she discovered a big rat gnawing at the child's right hand.

ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FOURTH While shooting at a mark placed on a telephone pole opposite the Amercian House, Pennsburg, Claude BICKLE was shot in the thigh by Matthias RUMMEL on Tuesday forenoon. A number of young men had congregated at the Hotel and in token of their patriotism they used a twenty-two caliber rifle to shoot mark, the number taking successive turns. While the shooting was going on Matthias RUMMEL came along and expressed a desire to try his skill, Mr. BICKEL, the day operator at the Pennsburg station, whose home is at Reading, slipped a cartridge into the rifle and handed it to Mr. RUMMEL. After passing the rifle to Mr. RUMMEL, BICKLE turned to talk with a companion and the report of the rifle was simultaneously with a sting in his left thigh. On investigation it was found that the discharged bullet found lodgement in that part of his body. Dr. J.G. HERSH, of East Greenville, was called to dress the wound. The doctor probed the wound to the depth of several inches but failed to locate the bullet. The bullet made an opening sufficiently large for a 38 calibre bullet to enter but as no artery was cut and no organ injured, Mr. BICKEL resumed his work after the wound was dressed. Thumb Shot Off. In celebrating the fourth at Niantic, on Tuesday evening, a gun exploded in the hands of Andrew SCHULTZ and tore off one of his thumbs. The served member was not found till next morning. At first it was feared that it would be necessary to amputate the entire hand but later it was found that the hand could be saved. The unfortunate youth is a promising young man. He was a member of the class of 53 that graduated at Perkiomen Seminary last week and was one of the Commencement speakers. PAPERS CONSOLIDATED With the issue of this week, under date of July 4, the "Bauern Freund" and "The Perkiomen Valley Press," both published at Pennsburg, the former in the German language and the latter in English have been consolidated into one paper. The paper as now issued consists of a nine colum four page edition, pages one, two and three are printed in German, while page four is printed in English. Both papers were owned and edited by Henry A. KNEULE, the present editor and proprietor of the consolidated paper. The idea is a novel one and it is hoped that the consolidation may prove of mutual advantage to the proprietor and his subscribers. ESTATE OF E.F. KANE DIVIDED Judge SOLLY, in Orphans' Court, at Norristown, on Wednesday, made distribution of the $98,902.50 estate of Edward F. KANE, an attorney of Norristown, and former Democratic county chairman. The widow is awarded $32,317.50 and each of the three children $21,545. The payment of $1000 to the Academy of the Visitation at Fredericktown, Md., and $1000 to Miss Alice M. KANE, a sister of the deceased, two bequests authorized by the will, were indorsed by the Court. CHILD HAS DIPHTHERIA When Dr. D. George KNECHT left his home at Allentown, for Pennsburg where he has a dental office, on Wednesday morning, his child was showing symptons of sickness. Later in the day he was called home by telephone message, stating that the child had developed into a dangerous case of diphtheria. It is likely that Dr. KNECHT may not be able to meet his many patients in these towns for several weeks. A NOVEL WEDDING TRIP Dr. HOEFFER and Miss Mame ZIMMERMAN, young society leaders of Pottsville, who were married on Thursday evening, were forced to make the trip from the bride's home to the railroad station perched high on the seat of an old-fashioned fire engine drawn by a score of friends. With the fire bells madly clanging, a concourse of people blocked all the approaches to the depot, and the couple were of necessity unloaded at the freight station. CHILD BURNS TO DEATH Having seen her older brothers celebrate the Fourth with fire and noise, five-year-old Mabel KLINE, daughter of Mrs. Katie KLINE, of Allentown, began her own celebration by starting a bonfire in the back yard.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - July 8, 1905 PARIS GREEN FOR HIS CHILDREN Gustave A. CLOSSON, a Swedish resident of Morrisvile, Bucks county, 64 years old, is in jail at Doylestown, accused of putting to death by poison his half-witted son Walter, who died suddenly on May 19. The detectives who worked up the case and who put the prisoner through the "third degree" Monday after his arrest, over that he has made a confession of the crime, giving as his reason the boy's feeble minded state, and declaring that he was best out of the way. The motive for the murder was that both boys - the eldest but 14 while the dead lad was but 11 - were feeble-minded. The story of the subsequent events is best told in CLOSSON's own words: "Crushed by a yoke of debt that seemed hopeless, I determined to do away with one of my idiotic sons, who was of no use to himself or to me. I took a package of rough on rats which I had secreted in a tool chest and made a paste of it by adding a little water. This I carefully spread on two slices of bread making a sandwich of it and commanded the older boy to eat it. He became desperately ill, and although the housekeeper insisted on calling in a doctor, I refused to allow her to do it. Henry grew alarmingly worse, but toward evening he rallied, and I then learned that I had given him an overdose of the poison. "Determined to profit by past experience, I concluded to try the experiment on the younger boy, Walter, so two days later I bought 10 cents' worth of beer in Morrisville and took it home with me. I poured the remainder of the powder into a teacupful of beer and gave it to Walter to drink, which he did. I then gave him a penny and told him to go to a nearby store and buy a stick of candy. "I thought he would be stricken away from home, and in the meantime I prepared to leave home for Tullytown, where I worked. Walter arrived home, however, before I left and was taken violently ill. Again the housekeeper insisted upon sending for a doctor and again I opposed it. I learned that the boy was dead. I then thought that my troubles were at an end, and with the $250 I expected to collect from the insurance company I could readily pay my debts and have a snug sum left." EXPLOSION FROM POWDER IN KINDLING Powder hidden in a stick of fire wood exploded in the kitchen stove of Mrs. William BAILEY, of near Jersey Shore, on Tuesday evening. The stove was shattered to pieces, the fire scattered and Mrs. BAILEY was thrown through a door into the next room. It is not known whether the explosion was the result of an accident or if some one made an attempt on the woman's life. The powder was taken from the stone quarry near the house. The end of the kitchen was torn out and the clothing of the woman and the house set on fire, when neighbors arrived they found the unfortunate woman in an unconscious condition. MEN HELD FOR INTERFERING WITH R.F.D. CARRIER Wilson E. DERR and Clayton CONRAD, of Temple, Berks county, were arrested by United States Deputy Marshal, of Philadelphia, charged with obstructing the public highway and preventing the passage of the rural free delivery carrier, G.D. MOYER, of Temple. Through the interferance of the men the carrier was delayed in the delivery of the mail. The men were given a hearing before Commissioner MALTZBERGER and held in $500 each for the United States District Court in Philadelphia. DOG, HORSE AND FIRE CRACKERS CAUSE FUN "Look out, fellows; I'm going to have some fun!" exclaimed Henry WIEDER, of near Kline's Corner, Berks County, as he tied firecrackers to a dog's tail and ignited them. The dog ran up the road a short distance and right under Mr. WIEDER's horse, which he had tied to a post. The horse had on a new harness and was attached to a brand-new $250 carriage. When the runaway nag was captured, several miles away, the carriage was a wreck and the harness beyond repair. FARMER'S PICNIC A farmers' picnic will be held at Gablesville, Berks county, on July 29.

RITTER, of South Bethlehem, was found in his stall Wednesday with one of its hind hoofs in its mouth. The shoe was caught so firmly in the flesh of the lower lip that a veterinary surgeon had to work for some time with the aid of heavy ropes to pull the leg forward far enough to permit the hoof's removal. How the animal succeeded in getting itself in such a position is what puzzled the surgeon and owner.

BABY UPSETS PRIMARIES The arrival of an 11-pound baby girl at the home of Deputy Post Master Jerome REINHARD, of Stroudsburg, on Saturday, seriously interfered with the aspirations of George REINHARD, father of the deputy. The older man was a leading candidate for County Commissioner before the Republican primaries held that day. Both father and son are leading party workers but their joy over the arrival of the new born babe was so great that they failed to give proper attention to getting out the vote, and as a result REINHARD, the elder, failed to get the required majority needed to place him on the ticket. SHOCKED TO DEATH BY ELECTRICITY In helping to unreel wire for the Bell Telephone Company at Pottstown, Harvey HARTENSTEIN was shocked to death on Monday evening by a current of 2000 volts that passed from a live wire to the one he was paying out.

The injured man was removed to Charity Hospital to have the wound dressed. Twenty-four stitches were required. POKER AND LARCENY MIX-UP M. BERNSTEIN, a Philadelphia diamond dealer was locked up at Easton in default of $1500 bail on the charge of robbery preferred by several people of Bethlehem who claim to have lost their gold watches.
