Take Away Foreigners' Weapons State troopers stationed at Portage Tuesday went to Beaverdale and started the work of confiscating the weapons owned by unnaturalized residents.

State game and fish wardens are aiding the troopers in their work of confiscating the arms.

Henderson Still Indifferent George Henderson, the Conemaugh youth, who murdered his sweetheart, Fern Davis, displays little or no concern over the outcome of his trial in December.
