YOUTHFUL VETERAN HOME FROM FRANCE
Abraham Quint, a Former Grammar Student and Now Army Veteran at 16, Sent Home

  With a record of two months' service in the front line trenches with 
Pershing's men "over there" and not yet 17 years of age, Abraham Quint, former 
Central Grammar school student and a son of Louis Quint, of 2217 Eleventh 
avenue, arrived home a few days ago, bearing an honorable discharge from 
service.
  Just a year ago this month young Quint left his studies and went for a visit 
with his grandmother and an uncle in Cincinnati.  At the conclusion of his visit 
he left the home of his relatives, but instead of coming home went to the army, 
representing his age as 18, his height and build helping him in the deception.
  He was sent to Fort Thomas Kentucky, later being transferred to El Paso, Tex., 
where he was assigned to the Sixteenth infantry, U.S. regulars.  One month after 
arriving in Texas his regiment was selected as a part of the first expeditionary 
forces.  He sailed from New York in June.  Meanwhile the boy had communicated 
with his father and the letters continued after he arrived in France.
  Because of the boy's youth the father started negotiations with Washington, 
with the result that the Altoona boy was given an honorable discharge and 
returned to this country, but not before he had spent two months in the front 
line trenches, being sent alternately for a week on the firing line and a week 
in rest billets.  Upon arriving on this side he was detained three weeks in 
quarantine at Fort Jay, N.Y., arriving in this city several days ago.  He has 
already secured a position in Sol Brett's store.

BARN WITH GRAIN BURNED.

Special to the Tribune.
  Lewistown, May 9. - The barn and outbuildings on the farm of Frank Bashore, 
one half mile east of Mexico, burned last evening.  All of the stock was taken 
out except the calves; all the grain and feed was burned. 
  The fire started in the straw stack the origin being unknown.  The loss is 
about $10,000.

ENLISTS IN CAVALRY.

  Lester M. Anderson, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Anderson, of 1922 Tenth 
avenue, has enlisted in the United States cavalry and will leave Friday for 
Columbus, O., for assignment.  He is the second son of this estimable couple 
that has volunteered to fight for his flag and country, a brother, Beverly 
Anderson, being with the 110th infantry.

TRAIN STRIKES BRAKEMAN.

Special to the Tribune.
  Lewistown, May 8. - C. W. Smith, jr., 33 years, was almost instantly killed at 
Horningsford at 6 o'clock this morning, when he fell from his own train, hauled 
by engine 1305, running on No. 2 track, and was run over by extra 1292 on No. 1 
track.
  The fall rendered Smith unconscious and the approach train struck him before 
he could be removed from the rails.  The injured man was taken to LF tower, 
where he died a few minutes later.
  Deceased was a freight brakeman, a son of C. W. Smith, sr., a retired freight 
conductor who resides in Harrisburg.

HOLLIDAYSBURG

ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
  An unsuccessful attempt was made to burglarize the residence of Mrs. Margaret 
Hartsock, on Spruce street, opposite Highland hall, on last Saturday night at 10 
o'clock, the unwelcome visitor being frightened away by the return of two 
members of the household before he had time to secure any booty.  There was no 
one at the house during the evening and at 10 o'clock, when Misses Margaret and 
Helen Hartsock came home, they were greatly surprised to find the front and side 
doors of the house standing ajar, as they had locked the doors upon leaving. . .

ARGUMENTS ON PETERS ESTATE

  Nearly all of yesterday morning's session of argument court at Hollidaysburg 
was occupied in arguments before Judge Baldrige by Attorneys Thomas H. Greevy 
and R. A. Henderson over the estate of Cora D. Peters, deceased, report of 
auditor and exceptions thereto, some difficulties over the payment of allowances 
by the guardian of the deceased's son being the cause of the litigation.
  Edwin M. Amies, esq., of Altoona, at the death of Mrs. Peters was named 
guardian of Arthur D. Bressler, a son of Mrs. Peters, and certain sums were 
fixed for the maintenance of a home for the latter.  The first action was 
brought about ten years ago and now it seems that the guardian is being asked to 
pay over again the amount in allowances already paid for the maintenance of a 
home for the ward.  The papers were taken by the court.

Wednesday.
  Lieutenant J. Lee Plummer, Jr., and bride after spending their honeymoon with

U.S. army service, stating that he had arrived safely at Camp Greene, South

uniform and will enter upon his duties at once.

EVENTS ABOUT TOWN

  To Justice of the Peace C. Irwin Lewis, one of the county capital's most 
enthusiastic and skillful anglers, falls the honor of having caught so far the 
largest trout of the season.  The fish, a fine specimen of the rainbow variety, 
measured seventeen inches in length and was caught in Clover Creek last 
Saturday.  The genial squire also caught several good-sized brook trout.
  Up to the present time but five boys of Hollidaysburg past 16 years of age 
have joined the United States Boys' Farming Reserve corps.  Word has been 
received from the Y.M.C.A. at Pittsburg that the boys who do not want to go to 
State college may go to Pittsburg and join the boys from the Y.M.C.A. there, and 
go to their respective destinations under the direction of the "Y" there.  This 
gives the boys not only a chance to do service for Uncle Sam, but to see a 
portion of the state.  These boys have given their names: Paul Soyster, Jesse 
Hengst, Harry Pheasant, Phelan Godfrey and Paul Hoover.  Some of the boys 
exhibit a preference for State college.  The others prefer going under the 
guidance of the Pittsburg "Y" and will leave on Monday morning.

BUYS ICE COMPANY.

  Donald Condron, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph B. Condron, has taken over for this 
season the ice business of the Brown heirs, that was established sixty years ago 
by the late Moses Brown and after his death continued by his children under the 
management of Charles F. Brown to the present time.  As a manufacturer of ice 
cream and a dealer in ice Mr. Brown attained quite a reputation far and wide, 
and was the pioneer in these lines in the county.  Mr. Condron is a young man of 
business ability and hustling qualities and will no doubt carry on the business 
in the same successful manager as his predecessors.  The ice sold by the Browns 
has always been of the highest grade, being formed from pure mountain water from 
the Hollidaysburg mains, that flows into the ice ponds north of town where are 
located the large ice houses.  They are filled this year with the finest ice. .

PLAIN CLOTHES MAN DROWNED NEAR PLANT
Edward Carey, of New York City, Found in Old Cesspool Near Aetna Powder Mill

Special to the Tribune.
  Newton Hamilton, May 8. - Edward Carey, 32 years old, of New York city, was 
drowned in an old cesspool near the plant of the Aetna Powder company on 
Saturday evening.  There was evidence of foul play in the man's demise, and Dr. 
J. W. Mitchell, coroner of Mifflin county, made an investigation which resulted 
in digging up the following facts:
  Carey was one of the plain clothes men at the plant and was instrumental in 
putting two of the employes in the guard house during the day.  The men promised 
later to comply with the rules of the company and were taken with Carey, when he 
went to Huntingdon to escort from the train fifteen workmen who were sent from 
an employment agency in New York.
  These men state that Carey walked into the cesspool in the darkness and an 
alarm was immediately raised, which brought the first aid crew with grappling 
irons and the pulmotor.  The body was recovered within ten minutes but no 
evidence of water found in the lungs.
  Monday afternoon Drs. Chisolm, of Huntingdon, and Campbell, of Mount Union, 
testified they performed a post mortem and found the lungs crepitent, with no 
evidence of water having entered them.  The body and intestines of the deceased 
were found normal and apparently well nourished, so that he must have been dead 
when he struck the water.  The men who accompanied Carey tell a straight story, 
accounting for every minute of their time, and a deep mystery surrounds the 
manner and cause of the man's death.

large service flag in honor of twenty-six young men who have gone out from the 
three tribes of the Improved Order of Red Men who meet in the Red Men's home, 
Fourteenth avenue and Eleventh street.  The Red Men consider themselves 
especially fortunate in having the assurance of the presence of T. C. Beswick, 
of Philadelphia, who is the great sachem of Pennsylvania, for the principal 
address.  Prominent attorneys of Altoona, well known for their ability to make 
patriotic addresses, will also be speakers.  It is hoped and expected that 
Samuel H. Walker, of Philadelphia, and Charles Pass, of Harrisburg, past great 
sachems, will also be present.  The Middle Division band has been secured for 
the music and a patriotic occasion of considerable fervor is anticipated.
  The names of the twenty-six men from Winnebago, Chickalacamoose and 
Wopsononock tribes in service are: C. A. Beck, A. C. Coho, J. R. Dunkle, N. K. 
Filler, G. W. Hess, G. N. Martin, E. B. Maguire, G. W. Plummer, J. F. Wicker, O.

Herbert Woomer.  At the meeting on Monday evening Herbert E. Burchfield as

evening he named as his aide P. S. Estright.
  The parade will start from the Red Men's home, where members of the three 
tribes will assemble at 2:15 promptly.  Headed by the band, they will march from 
Fourteenth avenue and Eleventh street to Eleventh avenue, to the Mishler 
theatre, where the service will begin at 3 o'clock.
  While the service is, of course, primarily of interest to the Red Men, a 
cordial invitation is extended to the public.  The patriotic nature of the 
occasion will make it of large interest to everyone.  The program follows:

SERGEANT LEAVES AND THEN ASKS FURLOUGH

Daniel O'Sullivan, of St. Louis, Jailed 20 Days for Illegal Train Riding
  
  His name and nature readily showed that Daniel O'Sullivan, aged 20, of St. 
Louis, Mo., a sergeant in the regular army was an Irish-American through and 
through, when he was haled before Alderman J. C. Gorsuch, Third ward, for 
stealing a ride on a Pennsy express train yesterday.
  Sergeant Danny said he thought it was all right to take a ride free on the 
trains of any railway since they have come under federal control, but the 
magistrate explained this theory was not practical even for soldiers.
  And because the involuntary visitor to Altoona was unable to produce 
credentials, but declared he had been expecting a furlough, and started home 
without official leave, he was sentenced to twenty days in jail.
  O'Sullivan said his commanding officer would likely telegraph permission for 
him to be home.  This seemed too thin a thread to convince the magistrate, who 
remained firm in his decision.  The sergeant is attached to Company H, First 
replacement regiment, Washington, D.C.
