Quick Wit Saves Stanley Hoornbeek From Serious Injury

RUFFIAN NOT IDENTIFIED

Thought to Be Someone who Had Been Tried by the Justice

HOSPITAL COMMITTEE MAKES STATEMENT ACTIVITIES IN

An attempt was made late Wed­nesday night to assassinate Justice of the Peace Stanley Hoornbeek of Arkville. The would be assassin Is as yet unknown but Troopers McGarvey and Klein are working on the case and the troopers will spare no efforts to bring the ruffian to justice. Hoornbeek was not injured.

Early in the evening as Mr. Hoornbeek was shaving some one called to him to come out. Mr. Hoornbeek, who in his capacity as justice, is used to being called out a t all times of the day or night, answered that he would be out in a few minutes. After wiping the lather from his face he.stepped out doors but found no one wait­ing for him.

A few minutes later, about 9:30, Mrs. Hoornbeek started for one of the neighbors, where she was to sit yp with a sick child. As she went out of the house, the dog be­gan to bark and apparently fol­lowed someone around the corner of the house. She followed with a flashlight but could find nothing out of the ordinary.

About an hour later someone rappeed pn |.he [window of the room where the justice was sleep-

i ing and called to him to come out. Mr. Hoornbeek dressed and start­ed for his office which is just across the driveway from the house. •He saw a man standing

. at the corner of the building and invited him to come In where it was warm. He paid no particular attention to the man other than to note that he was dressed in dark

•clothing and stood facing the oth­er way.

Going into the office Mr. Hoorn­beek turned on .the light from a switch by the side of the door. As he approached the light beside the desk he heard someone smashing the window at his left and saw the muzzle of a shotgun protrud­ing, into the room. With a flash­light in his hand he broke the light

... by t>;a desk and threw himself flat on the floor just a s a charge of shot went over his head and buried itself in the far corner of the of­fice.

The dog apparently chased the assassin across the lot but an examination last night showed no tracks as the ground was frozen, and a fresh shotgun shell was found this morning. ^Troopers McGarvey and Klein

took up the investigation and are doing the best that they can with the few meager clew* at their disposal. I t is supposed that the culprit 1s someone with a griev­ance for some fine or imprison­ment, who had filled himself with poor liquor during the evening, and conceived the idea of "getting even." Whoever the culprit may be, It is to be hoped that he may be found and get the maximum penalty that can be imposed in such cases.

Ready to Organize for tho Project Which Will Mean Hard Work It has been brought to the at­

tention of the committee responsi­ble for the Margaretville Hospital Idea, that one or two misunder­standings exist regarding the ob­ject of the Hospital. The commit­tee regrets this situation, and is anxious that the public know ex­actly what Its objectives and in­tentions are.

For this reason it has been de­cided to set forth a brief state­ment of certain alms In connec­tion with the proposed venture.

1—The Board of Directors of the Hospital shall be composed of men and women both from Margaret­ville and adjacent towns.

2—The Hospital staff shall in­clude the physicians from Margar­etville and the adjacent towns without discrimination.

3—Any physician shall be al­lowed the use of the Margaretville Hospital for himself and for -his patients.

4—Any patient in the Margaret­ville Hospital shall be free to se­cure the services / of any physi­cian.

5—The present committee is a temporary group, organized simp­ly "to start the ball rolling." It will, as soon as possible, cease functioning as such in order that a larger and more representative group of persons of Margaretville and towns adjacent may take over the venture and carry it forward to an assureed success.

6—Every member of the com­mittee pledges himself, (or her­self), to do all in his or her power to see that the above aims are car­ried out to the letter. -'

In view of the above statement, we ask that every citizen of this section of the country get behind the Hospital Idea. When commit­tees are formed to carry on the work of securing necessary funds, etc., let's all get together and make this the biggest thing ever done in Delaware county!

Mr. Fair-balm received a bad cut above one eye and was taken to a doctor by Reginald Todd, who lived near the scene of the accident. The doctor found no other injuries although the driver was badly shaken up.

|M. H. S. Wins Easy Victory ln Quarter-Finals

Going into tho game Friday night against Watorville H. S. at Huntington gymnasium expecting to have to fight hard for every point, M. H. S. instead found com­paratively easy opposition, romp­ing away wth the game to the tune of 33-11. At the end of the first quarter the Margaretville boys had piled up an eleven to one lead and from then on there was little doubt as to Who would emerge the victor. Playing their usual brand of basket ball, the local boys passed Water­ville completely off their feet while only one man on the oppos­ing team could penetrate our de­fense with any amount of suc­cess. Head, center for Waterville, succeeded in scoring 3 field goals, while the remainder of the team collected one field goal among them.

After leading 18-4 at half time, substitutions were made shortly after the s tar t of the second half. Elliott, who was slowed up some­what by contracted muscles in the legs, was replaced by Cook

The end of the third quarter saw DeSilva leave the game, after col lecting a total of 16 points. He was replaced by Griffin. A. Kittle took Reed's place and Fenton sub­stituted for C. Kittle.

A capacity crowd of 3,500 people witnessed the game but the boys were as calm as when playing in our own gymnasium. Every man saw service and each played a very commendable game. M. H. S. F. G. F. P. T. P.

1100 Shares of Common Stock May be Issued nt Not Lesa Than $100. The Interstate Commerce Com­

mission on Tuesday granted the Delaware & Northern railroad authority to issue not exceeding 1100 shares of Common stock of the road to be sold at not less than $100 per share.

About December 15, 1928, the properties of the Delaware & Northern including a line from East Branch to Arkville, Delaware county, a distance of 37 >i miles, were sold by order of the United States district court for the north­ern district of New York for $70,-000 and were acquired by Samuel Rosoff.

The Delaware & Northern now a reorganized company, proposed to sell its entire authorized capital stock, consisting of 500,000 shares without par value, at $2.50 a share to Rosoff and his associates. The proceeds from the sale of the stock would amount to $125,000, of which $70,000 would be applied in payment for the properties, while the remainder, $55,000, would be used for working capital.

Interstate Commerce commis­sion inquiry as to the railroads working capital requirements has developed the facts that between the date the properties were ac­quired by Rosoff and September 30, 1929, the sum of $22,276 was expended for improvements, that further additions and betterments then authorized would necessitate additional expenditures of $17,-775 and that proceeds from sale of stock in excess of the amount re­quired to pay the purchase price for the properties will be used to pay indebtedness incurred in mak­ing improvements and additions.

tion. The fire on Sunday swept

through the 18-room farm hous» causing damage estimated a t about $15,000, and the house was only saved from complete des t ruc­tion by tho herculean efforts of the Hobart fire department. Ta«

Un-1 loss is only partially covered by insurance.

About 1 o'clock Sunday after­noon neighbors saw a chimney lira at the home but at it apparently had died out a few minutes later thought that there was not any danger of it burning tho house. Three hours later, Burr Cole, a neighbor, saw flames shooting from the roof and windows on th« second floor and telephoned th« Hobart fire dpartment which re­sponded to the call.

In the mean time William Beck­er, hired man on the farm, was working in tho barn. When h» discovered the fire he ran to th» house and started to remov* furnishings from the first floor of the house.

Bad rutted roads and mud de­layed the firemen from reaching the scene quickly. After fighiing their way for more than a mile over the rough road tho firemen were able to bring their water lines into action. Several llnea were laid and water was taken from the Delaware river which tuna in the rear of the house.

The high wind had fanned th« blaze into a inferno on the second floor and the firemen had a stiff battle to get control of the blaz« and to prevent it from spreading to the large barn and other build­ings on the property.

Most of the furniture and house­hold commodities on tho first floor wore saved.

The farm was purchased by the Lee's from Frank Lamport, two years ago this coming June, and recently the house had been com­pletely renovated. Hardwood floors had been installed and wir­ing for electricity had just been completed.
