• CARL YONDER GETS YEAR IN JAIL - KELLY GOES TO PEN - OTHERS GIVEN SENTENCE Clever Olean Attorney Makes Plea for Yonder Galeton Boys Paroled - Young Ford Sent to Huntingdon - Thos. Nelson Released Today After Serving Thirty Days for Drunken Driving - Divorces Granted at Argument Term of Court.
Judge Albert S. Heck presided at the argument term of court that convened in the court house last Thursday afternoon. There was considerable business to come before the court not least of which was the meting out of sentences to a bunch of prisoners who had entered a plea of guilty. Clarence Kelly of Niagara Falls and Paul Ford of Roulette, entered a plea of guilty to breaking into the Nuschke store at Austin some weeks ago and carrying away goods valued at $300 or $400. Keith Hamlin who was in charge of the store in the absence of Mr. Nuschke, at once notified County Detective Smith., and the two of them did a good job of detective work and did it quickly. The crime was committed Sunday and the guilty culprits were run down and landed in the county jail late Tuesday night after being apprehended at Niagara Falls, 135 miles away. Kelly admitted entering the store and gave as his excuse that he was intoxicated. "When all of the circumstances of the entry were known and how the goods were removed from the store, no one could believe he was very much under the influence of liquor. At any rate the court sent him to the penitentiary to serve a term of from two to four years. Paul Ford, young brother-in-law of Kelly, was sentenced to Huntingdon reformatory.
Carl Yonder, Olean young man who was captured by County Detective Smith and several officers near Millport, entered a plea of guilty to violating the liquor laws. Some 25 gallons of booze made up the cargo Yonder was carrying when arrested. "When the young man appeared before the bar of justice, Attorney Ryan of Olean made a plea to the court in behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Ryan was smooth and very clever. He told the court of the good family from which Yonder comes and of his popularity. In his opinion the ends of justice would be served if the sentence was a light one. After listening attentively to Attorney Ryan, Judge Heck imposed a sentence, $1,000 fine, costs of prosecution and imprisonment in the county jail for one year.
George Zoerb of Carter Camp, charged with illegal transportation of intoxicants, having borne a previously good reputation, was paroled.
Ira Dollivar of Raymond, who is peaceable and law-a-biding when not on a toot, has been in Jail since June. The court saw fit to parole him, exacting a promise from Dollivar to abstain from all liquor and intoxicants of all kinds.
Thomas Nelson of Emporium, who admitted he was intoxicated when he wrecked his car at Dead Man's curve below Roulette, about a month ago, admitted the facts in the case. He was sentenced to pay costs and a fine of $250 and to serve 30 days in the county jail to be computed from the date of his arrest. This gives Nelson his freedom today. The fine was remitted.
C. J. Geary of Bradford came to grief on that same curve. The car he was driving was not a valuable one and he had no title to it. After his crash he sold the machine to some person for six dollars. The court released Geary but he must pay the costs made and the amount he still owes on the wrecked machine.
Five Galeton lads, who had gone out for a time and went a little too far, faced the court. Judge Heck talked to the boys and decided to let them off easily. They were paroled for two years and must make regular reports to Parole Officer Coleman Smith.
Tom Lunn admitted furnishing liquor. He was sentenced to pay costs of prosecution and given his freedom on parole.

There were four divorces granted.
Marlin Lyman from Bessie Lyman; Maria Lee from Herman Lee; Jay L. Kibbe from Veda Kibbe; Nellie M. Morris from Jackson L. Morris.

LIMESTONE COMING BY TRAINLOAD
Eulalia Milling Company Anxious to Improve Farms of Potter County.
On Tuesday evening of this week, E.P. Huntington, president of the Eulalia Milling Company, had a conference at the Hotel Crittenden, with a group of officials from the Michigan Limestone Company of Buffalo, and made a contract for a solid train load of limestone to be shipped into Coudersport, for the use of Potter county farmers as a fertilizer. This is a great undertaking, and is a tribute to the foresight and vision of Mr. Huntington, as a great contribution to the prosperity of this district.
The need of lime for soil is established beyond argument. Science and practical farming have definitely determined this need. The only question is to convince farmers as to this need, and have them take advantage of the discoveries of science, to make bigger and better yields.
The profit accruing to the Eulalia Milling Company, hardly repays the carrying charges on the money invested, but Mr. Huntington is firmly convinced the company and the farmers will reap an ultimate benefit in the increased prosperity which will naturally follow the use of limestone.
Mr Huntington and Mr. Luft were in Buffalo last week at a gathering of 135 dealers in the New York and Pennsylvania territory near here, and came back with a greater vision as to the possibilities of the use of limestone. Other communities are carrying out the train load idea, why should Coudersport be behind?
The time of the arrival of the train will be announced next week. The C. & P.A. R. R. through the courtesy of R. A. Knox, superintendent, will send a special locomotive to Port Allegany to meet the train on its arrival at Port Allegany, and the train will be accompanied by the officials of the Michigan Limestone and Chemical Company of Buffalo. Moving pictures will be taken of the train on its arrival, and we predict that the whole undertaking will prove a momentous day for Coudersport and vicinity. One feature of the movement is that a whole car load of limestone will be given away free on that day.
We hope to make further announcement next week of particulars. The Enterprise congratulates Mr. Huntington and his associates on this wonderful achievement, and we pledge our co-operation in the movement. at.
