Mr. and Mrs. George Buch Had Ex
perience of Their Lives—Rescued by
Neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. George Buch, residing
on South Broad street, this borough, had
a narrow escape from being sufficated
by coal gas on last Friday morning, and
the f a c t that they are still among the
living is undoubtedly due to their timely
rescue by neighbors. Strange as it
may seem, the discovery of their
plight can be traced to the fact that
the automobile show was holding in
Philadelphia last week.
H. C. Seldomridge, who resides near
the Buch liome, went to the auto show
last Thursday and his horse was left in
charge of Mr. Bucih. About 10 o'clock
on Friday morning Mrs. Seldomridge
noticed that the animal had received no
attention, and knowing that Mr. and
Mrs. Buch were early risers, came to
the conclusion that something was
wrong. She at «once went to the Buch
home and found that the couple was
not about. She immediately summoned
several neighbors who proceeded to in-vestigate.
Failing to receive any re-sponse
after k«ocking at the doors, a
ladder was secured and upon climbing
to t h e window «f the bedroom one of
the party comnwancated with the couple,
who said that they were helpless. They
had tried to get out of bed, but fell
back again helplessly.
Entrance was then made to the house
by forcing open a window downstairs.
The door of the stairway leading to the
bedroom was locked, arid this was also
forced qpen. As soon as the rescuers
got inside they found that the air was
heavy with coal gas. Mr. and Mrs.
Buch were not unconscious, but entirely
helpless. Dr. E. E. Evans was sent for
and gave the necessary medical atten-tion.
He stated that the timely arxival
of neighbors was what saved their lives.
The gas emanated from a range in
the kitchen and the stovepipe extending
through an adjoining room, the door of
which was open, gave the gas full
range. . Mrs. Buch became ill about
midnight, -but did not notice the gas,
and in a short time was in a stupor.
They have fully recovered again.
Should be Investigated.
Considerable excitement has been
caused among the citizens of this,place,
owing to general town talk t h a t a . i n f a nt
child was found dead in a trunk a t War-wick
the .other day. The matter should
be and in,all probability will be investi-by
the proper authorities.
IE II
Teachers' Institute.
The twenty-seventh annual in-stitute
of teachers and directors of Lititz bor-ough,
Elizabeth, Manheim and Warwick
townships was held in the local High
School room on Saturday, with morning
and afternoon sessions. The attendance
was goad a t both sessions. Many ques-tions
of vital .importance were discussed,
and all present received information
which will be used to the scholars' ad-vantage.
In the afternoon the High
School orchestra played, and the War-wick
and Grammar schools sang several
selections. Professor P. M. Harbold,
superintendent of Lancaster city schools,
and County Superintendent Fleischer
spoke. The art worK done by the
pupils of the local schools was displayed
and excited favorable comment.
THOSE WHO RECEIVED THEIR LAST
SUMMONS
Death of Mrs. Annie Butt.
Mrs. Annie Butt died at 2.30 o'clock
on Friday afternoon at her home, in this
borough from pneumonia, after an ill-ness
of two wee'- s. She was 61 years
and 11 months old, and was born near
Oregon. She had lived in Pittsburgh
for twenty years. The last eleven
years she resided in Lititz. The deceas-ed
is survived by two children, Florence,
married to Robert Gibson, of Pittsburgh,
and William, at home. Her three sisters
are Mrs. Catharine Tshudy, of Lititz;
Mrs. Susan Nixdorf, of Pittsburgh, and
Mrs. Geo. Schmuck, of Hubbard, Iowa.
The funeral took place on Monday after-noon
with services at the home of Jef-ferson
Wagner, on East Orange street,

Ch®rch. Interment was made in
the United Evangelical cemetery. Rev.
D. S. Stauffer officiated. The remains
rested in a pretty dark wood casket
with satin lining and silver bar handles.
There were numerous floral tributes.
The funeral seemed to affect most of
those present.
FIRE CO. HELD SUCCESSFUL BEE.
Cold Weather Notes.
The recent cold weather snap, colder
than for many winters, brought about
some trying as well as amusing incidents,
some of which we give below:
A poor family in the country a few
miles north of Lititz, awakening during
the night, discovered their infant child
in a cradle so near froze to death that
immediate action had to be taken to re-vive
it. Its milk in a bottle alongside
was frozen hard. The parents, too, had
so little bed clothing that they were un-comfortable
during the might.
In Berks county, so says the Reading
Eagle, while men were sawing ice their
saws froze f a s t to t i n ice cakes and had
to be loosened with axes.
Passing along a country home on the
coldest Sunday this winter, the writer
was rather amused in seeing two men
in rear of the house hard at work saw-ing
and cutting wood. Evidently fire
wood was highly necessary.
Peter E. Burkholder's Will.
The late Peter E, Burkholder, of
Warwick township, who died at the
home of his niece Mrs. C. . S. Loeffler
last week, left a will, in which he be-queaths
$500 to Hess' meeting house in
Warwick township. The balance of the
estate goes to relatives. Ezra H.
Burkholder of New Holland is named
as the executor of the estate.
In searching the house after Mr.
Burkholder's funeral over $300 was
found hidden in various places, mostly
silver.
Mrs. Maria Moseman.
Mrs. Maria Moseman, widow of the
late Michael Moseman, died at the home
of (her daughter, Mrs. B. B. Leaman,
on N. Broad street, this borough, on
Monday at 12 o'clock noon, aged 80
years, 10 months and 27 days. Although
deceased had been in ill health for some
time, owing to her advanced age, her
death was »very unexpected, owing to
semile debility. She was a native of
Germany and her husband preceded her
iin death twenty-five years ago. She
was a faithful member of the Menno-nite
church. Besides the above named
daughter, with whom Mrs. Moseman
resided for the past two years, the fol-lowing

brief illness. Dea<Sh was due to a com-iplication
of diseases and deceased was
77 years, 6 months and 16 days of age.
She was a member of the Church of the
Brethren. She was a widow for many
years. Her maiden name was Hemling

House Was Crowded and $50 Was
Cleared.
The spelling bee held by the Lititz
Fire Company on Saturday evening at-tracted
a crowd that entirely filled the
large Linden Hall Auditorium and
a varied program held the attention of
the audience for almost three hours.
Hackman's orchestra scored a hit and
every number was met with rounds of
applause. Being liberal with its music
it nicely filled out the program. The
entertainment opened with an octette
of black-face comedians, including five-year-
old Eugene Butzer, whose mimic-ing
of the other actors caused much fun.
"The Umbrella Mender," and "Bern-stein
and Firestein" were titles of dia-logues
familiar to the country spelling
bee. The "Me, Him and I " company
also gave a one-act sketch.
Among the four classes which con-tested
for prizes the general informa-tion
class attracted the most attention.
A number of "catch" questions were
given and generally caught the unsus-pecting
one, among the puzzles being
"What was our President's name
twenty years ago ?", and if eleven birds
were sitting on a fence and a hunter
shot three, how many were l e f t ?"
The following were the prize winners:
1st Class, taught by Elsie Miller—1st
prize, Elsie Balmer; 2nd prize, Irene
Hess; 3d prize, Alice Habecker; 4th
prize, Ethel Sturgis.
2nd Class, taught by Joseph Kofroth
—1st prize, Alvin Weaver; 2nd prize,
Alvin Royer; 3rd prize, Irene Sturgis;
4th prize, Olive Shreiner; 5th prize,
Mary Holtzhouse.
3rd Class, taught by Israel Erb—1st
prize, Elam Bucher; 2nd prize, C. Z.
Zartman; 3rd prize, Chester Adams;
4th prize, Ruth McNally.
4th Class, general information, taught
by I. W. Singer—1st prize—Mr. Keeler;
2nd prize, Annie Graybill; 3rd prize,
John Becker; 4th prize, Roy Grube;
5th prize, Harry Miller.
The prizes were donated by Lititz
business people, for which the fire com-pany
expresses appreciation and thanks.
The income on the sale of admission
tickets was over $70, leaying a net
profit of about $50.
New Auto Garage for Lititz.
A new auto garage and machine shop
will be built by John B. Habecker, at
the rear of his mother's home, 41 S,
Broad street, this place. He will also
have the agency for a good reliable car
and expects to be ready for business by
April 1st.
Eby Shoe Co. Directors.
The stockholders of the Eby Shoe
company elected the following directors
on last Friday: H. E. Eby, Frank Eby,
Elmer Eby, E. N. Eby, N. B. Leaman,
B. B. Leaman, J. M. Miller and A. N.
Wolf.
Hungry Crows.
All crows from near and far seem to
have gathered in H. H. Reifsnyder's
field, at Brickerville, Elizabeth town-ship,
where a few shocks of corn remain,
yet to be husked. It is rumored that
300 birds have attacked a corn shock
trying to carry it away. Mr. Reif-snyder
invites all crows who have not
yet come. He believes there are a few
yet in the neighborhood townships who
are too shy to come without an invita-tion.
Report of U. E. Sunday-School.
W. S. Diehm, secretary of the United
Evangelical Sunday-school, read the

Young 21 years, Susie Diehm 9 years,
Edna Miller 8 years, John McCloud,
Ralph Bowman, Cora Miller 7 years,
Josephine Bowman and Mrs. W. S.
Diehm 6 years, Amelia Gingrich 5 years.
Horse and Buggy Disappeared.
When George Shreiner, of Halfville,
came to the Warwick House stables for
his horse and buggy about 8 o'clock on
Tuesday evening to return home, he
was greatly surprised to find that both
were gone. A search in the neighbor-hood
did not reveal either horse or
buggy, whereupon the owner communi-cated
with his home and learned that
the horse had returned, minus the
vehicle. Liveryman Kling then took
Mr. Shreiner to Halfville and the buggy
was found at the f a rm of Henry Hersh-ey,
with the shafts broken and wheels
damaged. The horse was not hurt.
Mr. Shreiner is of the opinion that a
young man who was seen lurking around
the hotel stables with a lady friend,
took the horse and wagon to give his
friend a drive, and that the horse ran
away for the fellow, with the above
result.

Meiskey; secretary, J. F. Buch. The
others elected to serve in the bank are
as follows: Cashier, James J . Breitegan,
assistant cashier, Paul Bomberger;
clerks, Abram Bucher and Harry Ging-rich.
Mr. Buch, the newly-elected president
who succeeds the late H. H. Gingrich,
accepted his position as president with a
neat little address, in which he asked
for the cooperation of all the directors
as well as the bank's employees. He
will make the bank his headquarters to
a great extent and exercise executive
power to the best of his ability and for
the best interests uf the bank.
Mr. Buch has been identified with the

Basket Ball Notes.
The Lititz Y. M. C. A. basket ball
quintet did not defeat any team last
week, not having played. A game had
been scheduled with the Millersville
State Normal School second team, to be
played at that well-known seat of learn-ing
on Saturday afternoon, but on Fri-day
our boys received word that the
game was off. Naturally they were
disappointed. The Normalites played
at Petersburg on Saturday evening and
were defeated by the score of 18 to 16.
A hard-fought game will undoubtedly
be played in the Linden Hall gym. on
Saturday evening when Lititz will have
as its opponent the strong Moravian
College, Bethlehem, team. This latter
team is under an expert coach this sea-son
and promises to make the locals go
some to win.
The Reserves go to Petersburg on
Friday night, where they play the
strong quintet of that place. On Sat-urday
afternoon they play the F. & M.
Academy Scrubs at Lancaster.
Following is a schedule of the games
which are thus f a r arranged for the re-mainder
of the season:
Saturday, Feb. 3—Millersville A. C.
at Lititz. Reserves vs. Stevens Trade.
Saturday, Feb. 10—F. & M. Soph-omores.
Reserves vs. F. & M. Acad-emy
2nd.
Thursday, Feb. 1 5 - F . & M. Fresh-men.
Reserves vs. Lane. High 2nd.
Wednesday, Feb. 21—Lititz at Mill-ville.
Saturday, March 2—Reading High.
Friday, March 8—Marietta (pending).
Traveling Man Hod the Grip.
When J. K. Carper, who conducts the
saddlery on S. Broad street for D. E.
Light & Co., entered the store on last
Friday morning he discovered that a
leather hand bag, which had been stand-ing
near the front door had disappeared.
Knowing that it had not been sold he
came to the conclusion that it was
stolen. Mr. Carper immediately sus-pected
a man who gave his name as W.
H. Hayes, and claimed to represent a
Cleveland collection agency. He had
been in the store the evening previous
and while Mr. Carper and Mr. Light
were in the other part of the room, not
looking his way, made a sudden exit.
The proprietor then went to Squire
Derr and a warrant was issued for
Hayes' arrest, who was a guest of the
Springs hotel. Hayes was not in at
the time, but when Policeman Greek
made a search of his room, he found
the missing grip under the bed. Hayes
had already written his name on the in-side
of it. Later Greek located Hayes
and he was arraigned before Squire
Derr. He denied the theft, but the
evidence was too strong and finally the
case was settled by Hayes paying for
the grip, which was a $4 article, and
the costs. He l e f t town the same day
and pawned his watch to pay his board
bill.
