Patterson, brought suits in the Blair county courts, seeking damages from Blair county for appropriating the waters of Spencer run, Carson valley, Allegheny township. The watershed and springs were purchased in 1892 and in the earlier years of this century appropriated additional water and laid a larger pipe line than the original one. There is some dispute as to whether complete settlements had been made with riparian owners and there has been, from time to time, some agitation for a settlement.

This action brought by Mr. Patterson resulted in the matter coming to a head. Judge Marlon D. Patterson appointed G. Nevin Dively of this city, Joseph M.

llllle UL LLII- those days there was not available the modern equipment used in railroad and highway construction operations. The work was all done with the pick and shovel and the earth was transported with wheelbarrows. George D. Weaver, Chaplain Weaver's son, to whom the Altoona Mirror is indebted for the information herewith given, states that he often heard his father say that only a few dump carts were used in the work. 4 i The workmen employed on the Job were chiefly recent immigrants from Ireland.

The Irish were the American railroad builders in the earlier years. The Italians and other southern Euro, peans came long afterwards. The Irishmen came both from northern and southern Ireland and there wag the same rivalry between the sons of the two sections that there was in recent years, but which was largely terminated with the establishment of the Irish Free state some years ago. During the progress of the work the rivalry between the two elements often led to' fights and despite all the efforts of 'Squire Weaver and Rev. Father James Bradley, the pioneer priest at Newry, to preserve peace, outbreaks would occur from time to time and bloodshed would result at intervals for several years while the work was in progress.

At an early period when the first trouble occurred. Mrs. Weaver, the 'squire's wife, was greatly alarmed when upon opening the door to a summons, she beheld a large number of men standing in the yard. One of the men, seeiing the good woman's agitation, reassured her, saying: "Madam, do not be afraid; all we want is peace and tranquility." Her husband was then summoned and upon him devolved the task of making peace between the warring factions. Thereafter at regular intervals he was called upon to mediate between them.

SPRANKLE IS DEAD IN TYRONE Harry Chalmers Sprankle, one of Tyrone's foremost citizens and for many years identified with the business and civic Jnterests, died at his home, 1403 Pennsylvania avenue, Tuesday at noon, death being attributed to heart trouble. Mr. Sprankle had not been in good health since early in the summer and was living practically retired, working only about the home and was about his light duties as usual during the forenoon, when stricken. He was born on the old Sprankle homestead in Hartslog valley, Huntingdon county, Sept. 28, 1864, the son of Samuel and Sarah Isenberg Sprankle, and he came to Tyrone in 1888 with his parents.

He spent his entire life in Tyrone with the exception of two years when he was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company as ticket agent at East Liberty. For a number ot years he was employed by the Morrison and Cass Paper company and then opened a small grocery store at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street which, in time, became one of the leading stores in Tyrone and the little building gave way to the modern structure known as the Sprankle block. Mr. Sprankle always took a very keen interest, in civic affairs and was a very active member of the Chamber of Commerce. Several years ago he retired from active business life and during the past two years was employed as a transcribing clerk for the state senate at Harrisburg.

He was also quite active in church i and fraternal work, being a member jonn jYi.co>ue,^. the offic ial board of th. St UZ 2, rpj, Methodist church, a steward f. Vaughn and R. Thompson he prea den of the Men ist named, the executive f.

The dispatch declared Sakao was holding as hostages the wife and several relatives of Nadir Khan, as well as Asadullah Khan, the younger brother of Anmnulhih, whom Sakao had dethroned. Fearing that Sakao might kill these hostages, Nadir Khan was hesitating to attack the fortress, said the dispatch. On the other hand Bacha Sakao was reported to be willing to leave Kabul and the throne which he usurped if sufficiently compensated. The Peshawar correspondent of the Daily Mail said Nadir Khan had reported the capture of Kabul with.slight losses. The attackers immediately imprisoned Bacha Sakap's brother, Hamt- dullah, and the former governor of Kabul, Malik Mohsan.

No looting or sabotage taken place since the occupation of the city by Nadu Khan's forces. The bazaars are open and the normal life of the city has been established. The Daily Mail correspondent reported that Nadir Khan hoped to establish a provisional government and proceed immediately to the appointment of a king.

It seems that at times the mules that were used in drawing the canal boats on the respective sides of the mountain were loaded on the cars and thus transported over the mountain to Johnstown. More frequently they were ridden over the mountain, going west through Newry and Butlcrsville and then to Johnstown over the old Frankstown road.

Many of the canal drivers had the fighting spirit and as they journeyed along with their mules they gave the people along the way more or less trouble. They seemed especially to have a pick on the Malones. They were accused of stealing apples and other fruit and playing mean tricks of one sort or another. On one occasion when John Malone was alone on his place, some of the young fellows caught him and placed his head between the two lower rails of a stake and rider fence, then rode away, leaving him a prisoner. He was-forced to remain in that unpleasant position until some members of his family came home and released him.

He suffered no serious injury. It is said that one of the Malone boys worked for some time at Hollidaysburg on the canal. FinaJly, afler getting his pay at the end of the month, he decided to quit, but he said nothing about his intentiions to any of his employers. He simply quit. At the end of tlie ensuing month lie decided to return and he went to see about getting his old job back.

It happened that they were just engaged in paying Die men when he turned up. Unaware that he had quit a month before, they handed him the pay to which he would have been entitled and he went to work again without hammer and. James Cooper, who gave their home as Philadelphia, were found on Die watershed Sunday afternoon by Patrolman Cashman and could not give a satisfactory answer for their presence. They were charged with trespassing. Members of the 11 rm of Baker Baker were charged with trespassing and with attempting to pollute the streams by throwing a quantity of paper about on the watershed.

They plead guilty and paid the costs.
