The boxing match between Pat. McCarthy and "Young" Wilkinson was a draw and the match between Bill Harris and Murray Bradley was won by Harris.

Walter Wilkinson was referee of all bouts. On Friday Roberts and Gardner gave an exhibition of wrestling holds and an athletic demonstration, which was very interesting, explaining the various stunts. Both evenings square dancing was enjoyed on the pavement at Main street and Central avenue, music being furnished by Joseph Fischler's orchestra, and' those who preferred round dancing were accommodated at Armory hall, where Metherell's orchestra, of Blossburg, furnished excellent music.

The most notable of these was the Wellsboro Electric Company, who would accept no pay for their services and lights. Due to the fact that all persona, regardless of their connection with the Legion or with the Auxiliary, fell in and helped us to such a remarkable extent, since all are interested in and have a right to examine this report, the committee is publishing this report in the local newspapers. The committee extends' to all persons who helped "the American Legion in so many ways their -most sincere thanks and the thanks of the post. It was through the co-operation of friends that the Fair and Carnival was made a success, and W. Earle Champaign Post, No.

84, The American Legion, appreciates that help and co-operation. WM. F. WHITE, Chairman; GEORGE ROBERTS, NEIL COTTER, GEO. GEE, EMORY ROCKWELL, Committee.

CAPT. KILLED BY FALL. Army Officer Leaped From Blazing Motor Car. Capt. Albert Fisher, of the United States Army, medical division, located at Staten Island, was fatally injured Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock when he leaped from a blazing motor car.

on the road between Canton and Gleason, and died six houre later at the home of Mr, and Mrs. James) Turner in Canton. Captain Fisher and his wife bad been "visiting Mr. "and Mrs. Guy Spencei in Elmira and on Sunday they started to motor to Canton for a visit with Mrs.

Spencer's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Turner. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Spencei was the fifth member of the party. On account oi some state'road construction on the direct highway between Elmira and Canton they were obliged to detour, and were making the trip via Blossburg and Liberty. They had reached a point between Gleason and Canton, near the farm of Charles Randall, where there is a sten hill. Mr. Spencer, who was driving, shut off the power, and the car was coasting at a speed of not more than ten miles an hour when suddenly it burst into flame.

Captain Fisher, who was of a nervous temperament, leaped out of the car and losing hia equilibrium, was hurled headlong, striking his head with great force. The flames were extinguished and Captain Fisher was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Turner in Canton, where he died at 8 o'clock Sunday evening. It was disclosed that he had fractured his skull in tha fall.

WELLSBORO MAN SUICIDE Walter Bacon Fired Five Shots at Mrs. Callahan and Then Drowned Himself. The body of Walter Bacon, who on August 21 attempted to murder Mrs. Martha Callahan, at the Tomb farm, just east of Montoursville, by firing five shots at her, was found in the Susquehanna river near Montoursville about 2:45 o'clock last Friday afternoon, by Mr. and Mrs, J.

J. Davis, of New Haven, who are visiting at the home of -Clyde Miller, below Sylvan Dell, Lycoming county. Mr. Davis and wife had started down the river in a row boat to visit friends at Loyalsock. They 'had not progressed far when the- man saw something floating on the surface of the water.

Upon nearing the object, the floating mass waa revealed to be a human body in an advanced stage of decomposition. Owing to the fact that his wife was nearly overcome by the disovery, Mr. Davis did not attempt to reclaim the body immediately but rowed to shore and secured help from the Eck far.m. The body was taken to the shore. Coroner George L.

Schneider concluded that Bacon's death was a clear case of suicide by drowning. Bacon was about 56 years of age and came from Wellsboro. In partnership with Artley, of Mon- he undertook the cultiva- of the old Tomb farm. 'Here he ived with one of his three sons and lis housekeeper, Mrs. Callahan.

For some time, it seems, he had maintained hopes of- marrying Mrs. Callahan and had obviously received encouragement, for on Aug. 21, when he urged an immediately marriage, she replied that "there need be no hurry" and that the matter could "be put off until to-morrow." At that, Bacon became enraged and, drawing from his pocket a small cal- ibre revolver, fired five shots at her and his son. Three of the shots hit the woman but none of the wounds proved to be serious. Bacon then fled, coatless, from the "house and was not seen until his body was found Friday afternoon.

In view of the condition in which, the body was foundj-ftit is -probable that the man committed suicide immediately after shooting the woman. His son stated that Bacon had gone hi the direction' of the river after leaving the house. STOCK JUDGING CONTEST. Boys and Girls fo Contest at Fairs in Tioga County.

F. hall. The meeting was presided over by President Clyde Campbell, with E. C. Btackwell acting as secretary.

The reunion song was followed by prayer by M. B. Seeley and then the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." Reading of minutes of last meeting were followed by the reading of letters from T. D. Baldwin, James Ellison and Mrs.

J. L. Buck. Impromptu speeches were made by a number of those present. Mrs.

E. S. Horton read a poem written by Maud Campbell Miner and Jessie Campbell Ellison twenty-five years ago, for a similar occasion, and not used. As the writers have passed beyond the poem, "Solace," was reverently listened to. Mrs.

Some of the Assessors have engaged helpers in order to complete the registration in time. It had to be done on short notice because of the delay in ratification of the amendment by the required number of states. In registering the women who are of voting age, and that is twenty- one years, she must state her full name, occupation, present residence, age, length of residence in district, and answer any other questions the Assessor may ask.

The voter must have resided in the state at least, one year and have paid a county tax at least one month before election, provided she has been registered at least two months before election. The tax on occupation runs for a housekeeper 45 cents, and for a clerk 90 cents. The occupation of housekeeper is assessed at $50 and of a clerk at $100, and the county tax is nine mills; other occupations will be assessed at that rate. There are some "women in the county who are already assessed as property owners and have paid the tax," but they'must be registered just the same, though they will "not be obliged to pay a tax before election. From the registry lists" wade the tax collectors will doubtless notify the women from whom taxes are due and designate days on which they may pay in ample time to have their receipts before election.

It would be well for every woman to take her tax receipt to the polls so that it may be shown if required. Some women refused to be registered, alleging that they did not want to vote. They should understand, however, that since all wonlen ocr 21 years of age are made citizens under the law, they must be assessed and will have to pay a tax, whether they vote or not. In other words, the women are now on the exact level of a man in citizenship; voting is optioned, but the payment of taxes cannot be evaded. Nelson Notes.
