F. Sollenberger, 1117 North Third street, a letter worth printing. Read on. In reply to the memory stret cher in to day's paper about the musket fence I remember It very distinctly. I have lived in Harrisburg since 1866, April 3.

The fence was built of flintlock nfuskets with bayonets attached, the muskets standing The fence stood until in the early 80s. When a bill was sponsored by William Barnes (bom in the locality of Green and Broad streets) to have the fence removed, part of it was used later to enclose the Mexican monument now standing in the park. The muskets were used on the Walnut, Third and North, street sides. The Arsenal at that time was on the Fourth street side of the Capitol just above where the South Office building now stands. I remember seeing oranges and bananas growing in the green houses situated in Capitol Park.

If any other information is desired, call to see me. i i THE GOOD OLD DAYS Welly Jones, otherwise known as the Old Timer, once carried bats for Billy Sunday when he played Harrisburg with the Chicago Cubs.

THOUSANDS SEE CHIMNEY CRASH (Continued) fire roared. Black smoke poured from the chimney. Ready to Run The crowd watched, many ready to run. Said one young man: "If it starts this way I'll beat you to State street." "Not. unless you got a feather to fly with," was the comeback.

Bill and Ed moved around the stack with tapping here and there, listening, taking bows from the crowd, enjoying the show. Crack Widens The crack on the Second street side widened. Bill and Ed nodding knowingly. "It won't be long now," they told the front seaters. Then from ten feet they started throwing the hammers at the stack and hands to ear, listened, shook hands with each other.

Said Bill: "ThisH give us an appetite for dinner, yeah we call it dinner." Top Always Topples Over The crack widened to six inches, the top swayed, leaned west toppled and then telescoped. Leaning at a 60 degree angle the stack crumpled like a telescope. Weight Is 760 Tons The weight of the stack is estimated at 1760 tons. At the base the diameter was 16 feet, tapering to about ten at the top. Dust and smcke poured from the pile.

Bill and Ed, kings of the oc casion, mounted to the top, crowned each other with bricks, gcod hu moredly posed for photographers, said: "Boys this is all in the day's work." "Wato rmifVtH vaii wat. fnr It asked a curious bystander. "Plenty," said Louisville Bill "Enough to bet on the Kain tucky darby. We make it easy, spend it easy." On Y. M.

The other day the men dropped big stack in Dubois. "And I have a pocket full of contracts," said Bill, who seems to be the chief "Lookit." PRYOR COMES OUT FOR MR. PINCH0T (Continued) ing bridges by the State. The bill was unanimously passed by the Assembly and Senate and signed by the Governor. Relative to his free bridge activities, Pryor says: "The movement that I started and was responsible for in 1927 by introducing the 'Pryor Free Bridge Bill' I propose to continue.

There is reason why the citizens of Cumberland county should be hemmed by a toll barrier. I know of several instances where industrial concerns refused to locate on the West Shore, merely because of the exorbitant toll rates exacted by the bridge companies. The progress of Cumberland county is being thwarted at every turn of the road because of high bridge tariffs. It is absolutely unfair and unjust in my mind, to extort tax from the citizens of our county every time they cross the Susquehanna river." Plnchot forces are known to look with favor on Pryor and although no definite arrangement have been made, it has been surmised that an alliance of this kind would be the natural. Out growth of the political situation in Cumberland county at the present time.
