Mrs. Arrest Man With Gun Seen Hiding In Bush Alleged to have lain in wait with a loaded shotgun under some shrubbery in a woods in Warrington township, presumably to carry out his threats to kill two neighbors, Jarnes Jennings, 35, of Alpine, York county, was arrested Friday morning and committed to jail. The arrest was made by two officers, Constable Ritter and Deputy Sheriff Zimmerman, who were forced to give chase over a field after Jennings, it is alleged, escaped from the house when he learned that he was being sought. The warrants for the Warrington township man's arrest were issued by Alderman Stager. The prosecutors are Paul Suskey, of Wellsville, R.

D. 2. and Annie C. Sweigart, of the same address. The defendant was unable to furnish bond for his appearance at a hearing.

It is alleged that Jennings has been endeavoring to force his attention upon the Sweigart woman, who it is said, is keeping house for Sus-key. Because of jealousy the defendant is alleged on several occasions recently to have threatened to shoot and kill Suskey and the woman. Last Monday, it is reported, neighbors of the prosecutors were witnesses to an act which the prosecutors feared was an attempt by Jennings to carry out his threat when he was found, it is alleged, hiding in some shrubbery in a woods with a shotgun. Officers Ritter and Zimmerman started early Friday to apprehend the defendant. When they arrived at his home they found Jennings still in bed, it is said.

One of the officers stationed himself at the front door and the other at a rear exit. When one of them knocked at a door Jennings is said to have peered from an upstairs window, presumably to ascertain the identity of his early morning callers. He managed to escape through a window and when he was seen running across a field the officers gave chase. Jennings, it is said, was in his bare feet. Finally he stumbled over a cobblestone and was captured.

This year the price has been cut down considerably, but even at much lower prices the prices per ton for the red fruit cherries seem to be the best paying crop raised in Adams county at present. The picking and canning of the cherry crop assisted very much in the unemployment situation by giving work to many men and women for the past three weeks. A cherry tree on the farm of Lloyd Keefer, near York Springs, has paid its owner more than $20 from fruit sold from its branches during the past week. The tree, planted by his father, the late Edward C.

Keefer, a quarter of a century ago, produced more than ten bushels of fruit this season. The cherries were large and dark in color and much resemble the early Tartarian variety.

Since last Thursday, Edgar Smith, Dillsburg rural mail carrier, has a prize fish story to relate that can silence any of the tales told by local deep water fishermen. Fishing in the Chesapeake bay, twelve miles out from Diehl's island, Edgar landed a channel bass weighing 55 pounds and measuring 44 inches in length.

In the boat at the time were three Dillsburg friends, H. C. Grimes, Blaine Lefever and Earl Ditmer, and the captain of the craft. The carrier is more than six six feet in height and weighs 280 pounds, but he required the assistance of the captain to land his prize. The big fish fought for a quarter of an hour before beco'ming exhausted.

Besides the channel bass the Dillsburg fishermen came home with 426 other specimens of the briny deep. The bass was token to a butcher shop in Dillsburg and sliced into steaks. An enterprising Reading man now entertains his friends in the evening by an unusual show. He catches ligtning bugs which he tosses into a shallow pool where a lot of frogs disport themselves. As the bug slides down the throats of the amphibians the glow is reflected through the membranes of the frogs.

Moore; field manager, Maurice Bower; Grayson Weigle, former field manager, was named business manager, and Romayne Pittenturf secretary and treasurer. Attendance at the home games this season has fallen off very much and the collections recently have barely paid for the balls used. In addition the umpires' salaries and other incidental expenses have caused a mounting deficit. Charles Yost and Elmo Smith have been added to the list of local players. In an effort to bring the club out of the financial slump the game scheduled with Carlisle at York Springs Wednesday evening was transferred to Carlisle where the proceeds were handed to the local club's treasury.

The game was closely contested and York Springs lost 8 to 7. Pittenturf occupied the mound for the locals while Rife and Nickel hurled for Carlisle. A feature of the game was a home run by "Bud" Miller, local second sacker.
