POEMS JQ I FAILURE PRELIMINARY WORK FOR i One ol Them Has Been Here Predeeriing Each of Recent Burglaries STORY OOESifnOLD GOOD Were Arrested While Sleeping at the Tannery at An Early Hour This Morning HEIO US SUSPICIOUS CHIfUCTEflS Twc suspicious characters were arrested by Chief of Police Kellar Harris and-two assistants at the tannery of "the Co. at an early hour this morning.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock word was sent to Harris that two men' whom he might want, were at the tannery. Securing two men to help him, Harris went to the tannnery and found two strangers asleep on the second floor of the building. When arrested the strangers offered no resistance and gave their as Ed Scanlon and Denny Mack. They said they had been in town since Saturday but had never met each other until Monday afternoon. On investigation it was found that the men have known each other for some time and that they were together at the tannery the night before the attempted robbery of Miss Mary McKnight's home several months ago.

It ia said that two night before the recent robbery at the home of David Ellis, Scanlon appeared at the tannery and asked permission to sleep there. This time he was acompanied- by a abort, stout man of about 30 years of age. It is consjdered somewhat of a coincidence that following each of Scanlon'e appearances a robbery has been mitted or attempted. The men were lodged in jail and at a hearing this morning were conamit- ted for 15 days as suspicious characters. Aged Editor of BUiriville Enterprise Author of Unique Collection.

The followifng extract from a recent issue of the Punxsutawney Spirit will no doubt be of. interest to many persons in this part of the county: Joseph Moorhead, the veteran editor of the Blairsville Enterprise, was in Punxsutawney yesterday making arrangements with the Spirit Publishing Company for the publication ol a volume of poems written by himself. A number of the poems were written for special occasions, most of them to give expression to his views and feelings at odd times. Those of a more serious nature are replete with noble sentiments of patriotism and religion, expressed with much felicity. THere are numerous poems in the collection that contain a rich vein of wholesome humor, and which will be found both edifying and entertaining.

There are also a number of very clever parodies on familiar poems. Mr. Moorhead is not publishing his poems in book form because he believes them to possess a high order of merit, but merely, as he expresses it, "as an heirloom for his immediate family" There is no doubt, however that many of his friends and acquaintances will desire a copy of the little book, and that they will prize it highly as a memorial of one who deserves a high place in the affections of his friends and the esteem of all. Mr. Moorhead is now in the eighty-second year of his and is still physically and mental ly sound and active.

He has a remark able memory and is able to recite his own poems for an hour without a halt OF STREET CAR SERVICE NEW ROUTE TOPITTSBUR6 Points on People fliCd ENTERS PLEA OF SELF-DEFi I T. S.

CLAIR ELECTED DIREC10R The directors of the Indiana County Street Railways Co.

Held a meeting at the Farmers Bank this forenoon for the purpose of electing orte director, a sec- etary and treasurer, and the trunsact- ng of other important business. John G. St. Clair, cashier of the Farmers Bank, was elected to the directorate and was ulso chosen secretary and treasurer. The advisability of installing duplicates of all the power machinery at the Twolick power house was discussed and such step was decided upon.

The recent unpleasant experience with crippled plant and irregular service, occasioned by the power plant being put out of commission by a bolt of lightning, had great weight in bringing the directors to this conclusion. When the new machinery is in place there will be little likelihood of a repetition of this experience. The power house was built large enough to accommodate such additional machinery as will now bp D. H. Clark, the president, was empowered ti buy the new equip ment and to have it installed as soon as possible.

Those present at the meeting were: D. H. and B. M. Clark, of Punxsutaw.

Since his return to Ebensburg from Indiana, where he was arrested by, Paul Azzara, Don Tucci has given his version of the affair to District, Attorney J. W. Leech, of Cambria county.

Don told of an at- tempt on his life by his brother, John, early on Monday, and claims that he was very badly frightened and did not think of going to work after this happened.

He shows that he tried to. fix the quarrel up through Detective Frank Bennett.

Interesting Notes from Town on Susqnehanna.

Cherrytree folks are still laughing! Two weeks ago the ladies of the sionary Society gave a home-talent entertainment, in the Presbyterian church' illustrating the packing of a Home Missionary Barrel. To say that the entertainment was a success from everyapoint of view, would be to put" it mildly. The church was crowded long before the time set for the entertainment to begin. It was the most laughable event to which Cherrytree has been treated years. The various characters were represented by Nancy Jane Brilhart (the hostess), Josephine Bonaparte Darr, Margaret Jane Tonkin, Martha Cramer, Emma JaneSech- ler, Elija Jane Smith, Margaret B.
