AGED MAN INJURED.
SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE.
Lewistown, May 6. - Henry Knepp, 70 years, sustained a fracture of the right
shoulder and had his left ear torn off yesterday when the automobile in which he
was riding turned turtle while coming down the big hill on Ards Ridge. A defect
in the braking machinery is said to have been the cause of the car getting away
from the driver.
R.R. POLICE GET SLACKER.
When Charles E. Snyder, aged 27, and employed in the machine shops, refused to
subscribe for Liberty bonds and made treasonable remarks in regard to them,
Officer George K. Mosel, of the motive power police force, conducted an
investigation, finding that Snyder, registered before an Idaho draft board, had
failed to fill out a questionnaire and was reported as a slacker. The Idaho
draft board was communicated with and they ordered the man taken before the
nearest draft board, which was done, Snyder being examined and accepted for
military duty by East Side board No. 2. He was taken to Camp Meade, Md., last
night by Officer Mosel, where he will be detained and will probably face a court
martial later.

twenty years. He is survived by his widow and five children of East Juniata.
Funeral services were held on Sunday at Newton Hamilton.
W. M. KENDIG
Quite suddenly Monday at 1:55 p.m., W. M. Kendig, a widely known Pennsy
employe, died of acute indigestion. A curious coincidence is the fact that just
a year previous to the very day, his brother, R. B. Kendig, chief mechanical
engineer for the New York Central, died suddenly of the same disease. [continued
from page 10]
Mr. Kendig was in charge of the department of shop inspection in the office of
the general superintendent of motive power. He had been in Altoona for six
years, coming from Williamsport, when he had gone from Renovo, where he learned
his trade. He was born October 23, 1872. Surviving are his wife, a son and
daughter, at home. Three brothers and a sister also survive. Funeral
arrangements will be announced later.

HOLLIDAYSBURG
COMMISSIONER IS INJURED
Street Commissioner Charles Gallagher had a very thrilling and dangerous
experience yesterday that may easily have been attended with fatal results, but
Charlie seems to have been born under a lucky star and escaped with cuts and
bruises. He was engaged yesterday in repairing a terra cotta drain of the
borough that drains into the river at the Gaysport bridge. When about to
descend the steep, rocky bank at that point, with a bag of cement on his
shoulder, he lost his footing and fell precipitately with the bag of cement to
the river bank, twenty feet below, landing just at the edge of the water. He
was somewhat stunned by the fall, as he landed partly on his head, but was able
to soon regain his feet and was assisted to the top of the bank. Dr. Frank R.
Shoemaker was summoned and came to the scene of the accident in his coupe and
took the wounded man to his office, where his injuries were given the necessary
attention. Mr. Gallagher received a deep cut on the top of his head and was cut
and bruised about the arms and legs, the cuts bleeding profusely, covering him
with blood. Charlie has all the plucky qualities of his Irish ancestors and
after his wounds were bound up he went to the river bank and finished his work.
PEOPLE COMING AND GOING

in the U.S. army service, left on Sunday at noon for Charleston, N.C., to which

METHODIST NOTES
The first Sunday of the Sunday school drive of the Methodist Episcopal Bible
school brought the attendance of the school almost to the number reached on last
rally day. The attendance at the other public services yesterday was 60 per
cent. above the average attendance for May, 1917. One of the most pleasing
numbers on the program of the evening service was Miss Ethel Nokes' recital of
"The Prayer to the Waves' to be quiet while our boys are crossing over.
Appoint Workers.
The Methodist Episcopal church has appointed the following persons to comprise
the Woman's War work council. The women will meet at the church this afternoon

equipment of chaplains for service among the boys in the service of Uncle Sam.

BEDFORD COUNTY BOY INJURED IN SERVICE.
Special to the Tribune.
Bedford, Pa., May 6. - Word was received here this morning by Ed. D. Heckerman
that Fred L. Arnold, his nephew, of this place, had been serious injured while
serving with his regiment the 15th Field Artillery, on the French front. This
is, so far as can be learned, the first Bedford county boy to be injured in
foreign service. Mr. Arnold, who is about 32 years of age, had been a salesman
for Sharpe & Dohme, Baltimore druggists, for some time and although a native of
Chester, had made his home here with his uncle and cousin for a number of years.
He enlisted in the service last September at Altoona, and was sent to Columbus
Barracks, O.; later, was sent to Camp Pine, Watertown, N.Y., and thence to Camp
Merritts, N. J., from whence he sailed the first week in December. A letter
received by his relatives a few days ago stated that he was well but that was
written prior to April 21, the date on which he was injured. His relatives are
anxiously awaiting particulars.
DAVID WILLIAMS DEAD.
Former Tri-State Pitcher Dies in Army Camp in West.
Dave Williams, also known to the Altoona baseball fans as Dave Bennett, is
dead. According to a dispatch received at Bloomsburg, Pa., he passed away in an
army camp in Minnesota, of pneumonia. He was a captain in the service and was
in command of a company being trained for service.
Williams came to Altoona in the days when the Tri-State was an outlaw
organization. He was secured from the Boston Americans, and went under the name
of Bennett until the league was given protection and then he played under his
correct name. He was a good pitcher and was also a good hitter and was able to
play most any position.
Independent A. C. Organized.
The Independent A.C. baseball team has been organized and is now ready to
stage games with all comers of teams who players range in age from 16 to 18
years. The team is composed of these players: McNelis, captain; Harris,
McGinley, Santella, Meintel, Anderson, Klesius, Sutch, Lebo, Filer. Teams

JUNIATA
SILVER TEA SET FOR BRIDE
Mrs. Ralph Hamilton, of 908 Fifth street, a bride of two weeks, was last
evening presented with a superb silver tea set, the gift of fellow clerks in the
P.R.R. accounting department clearing house. The lady was Miss June Ellis, and
because her newly-made husband is called to serve his country, continues her
work for the Pennsy. That she is popular with her girl friends in the offices
is attested by a pleasant invasion of her home last evening, when she was an
easily drafted hostess to eleven fair guests. She gave her friends a charming
evening and they in turn made it memorable by presenting Mrs. Hamilton with a
beautiful tea set. Those of the visiting party were Misses George Kauffman,
Mildred Stump, Mary Replogle, Lena Luddeke, Dorothy Viets, Martha Whitehead,
Elizabeth Herr and Ruth Willis; Mrs. H. Krebs and Mrs. Kathleen Irvin.

COUSIN CLAIMS GIRLS GOT LOOT WORTH $100
Two Juniata Young Women Must Face Additional Charges in Philadelphia
That Lillian Wilhide and Anna St. Clair, the Juniata girls arrested Saturday
for complicity in a jewels theft at Baltimore, Md., previously relieved Miss
Verna Flenner, Philadelphia, a cousin of the former, of valuables worth $700, is
the accusation made against them Yesterday.
Miss Flenner resides at 1149 Erie avenue, in the Quaker City with her mother.
On April 2, after the girls, it is alleged, had been there a week, they
disappeared simultaneously with a lady's gold watch, a gold wrist watch, hats,
gowns, furs, lingerie, a necklace, a lavalliere and other property aggregating
$700.
Private and city detectives are at work on the case, but the girls could not

occurred on April 7. The Wilhide girl's cousin and her mother were unaware that
the Juniata girls had run away from home, until several days after their advent.
It is stated that the Wilhide girl obtained a job in a ten cent store, and her
companion was employed in an office. The former's aunt lent them money each day
for carfare and luncheon. A warrant will be sworn out in Philadelphia against
them today. Baltimore officers are coming for the girls tomorrow, having secured
extradition papers.
