I SUM OF $3500 ASKED FOR CHILDREN'S CAMP There was a meeting of the Wyom ing County Board of Supervisors last week. Besides auditing the usual grist of bills, little was taken up. Hon. .Michael L. Coleman and Mis. E. E. Rowe of Warsaw appeared before the board and asked for an appro priation of $3500 to build a Child ren's Health Camp this summer to take the place of the one conducted on the Bliss farm at Wethersfield Springs last summer. The matter was referred to a committee consist ing of Supervisors Kershaw of Gainesville, Keenan of Java and Bat- tin of Wethersfield. We all want to give the children all the happiness and health-giving recreation possible. But, just why the Supervisors should be asked to make this appropriation does not ap pear The Bliss farm which served so successfully last year was 1 all clear and had buildings, and was sold, as we understood, because so large a ] place was unnecessary, and that a smaller place could be provided at a less investment. Then why not use Miss Alice Nichols of Chaffee was struck by an auto owned by a Buf falo man, Sunday night just at dark. She was knocked down, her arm and leg broken, and badly bruised, and, it is feared severely injured intern ally She was taken to a Buffalo hospi tal, where she is doing as well as can be expected. It has been her custom to go across the road from her home to the K. D. mail box several times a day. Ap parently that is what happened this time. She had just gone across the road, hurriedly looked into the mail box and turned quickly right in the path of the auto. The headlight and fender struck her. / MRS.

Cicero has relatives in those cities and it is believed he may have taken refuge with them. Justice of the Peace George M. C. Parker and District Attorney Clar ence Greff of Wyoming County to day continued questioning relatives and friends of both Siracuse and Cic ero here and in Groveland. Among the witnesses who spent considerable time before the officials were Mrs. Mary Cicero, wife of Tony, and Car rie Cicero, 16 -yeaT -old sister of the latter. The officials stated, after question ing the girl that a motive had been established for the slaying of Sira cuse. They refused to divulge what the motive was or who was suspect ed. The. victim was forty years old and a widower. Siracuse's body was found lying face downward in the lake outlet near Twin bridges about three miles from j Perry. It was discovered by Marie Sager, teh years old, and her sister, I Laura, seven years old, when the | children were on their way t o school. I Robbery was apparently not the mo- ] tive, as a watch- and money were found on the body. I Apparently Siracuse had foreseen • the attack, A loaded 32-caliber auto matic pistol was found in his cloth- | ing. Eight loaded cartridges in it in dicated that it had not been used. Siracuse was last seen alive in Groveland' at 6:30 o'clock Monday evening when he and Cicero started for a ride in a light truck. It was apparent, that Siracuse was killed at some distance from the spot where the body was, found and his body thrown from the bridge over the outlet. Coroner Goodwin said that one of the bullets pierced, the man's heart, causing instant death. * Sheriffs Simons and Harnden said that both men owned the truck and used it to haul fruit to stores in the country.

After careful consideration of the matter, the Wyoming County Bovine Tuberculosis Committee passed a resolution at their last meeting, au thorizing a quarantine of the follow ing townships: Sheldon, Arcade, At tica, Wethersfield, Eagle, Pike, Cas tile, Covington and Genesee Falls. This matter was thoroughly discuss ed at a meeting held early in March, but at that time it was decided to de fer this quarantine until thorough in vestigation could be made. The committee felt that this quar antine was desirable at this time in order to protect herds that are al ready tested. Several cases of un tested cattle being brought into test ed townships were reported to the committee at their recent meeting. The only way that this practice can be stopped is by having a quarantine placed on these townships. Quarantine will be executed and townships will be posted just as soon as possible. The quarantine prevents the intro duction in any manner of untested cattle into a tested township, except cattle from the following clases: 1. Cattle from a fully accredited herd. 2. Cattle from a herd which has passed one clean\ test. 3. Cattle from a modified accredit ed herd. 4. Cattle from other herds under official supervision, but not in class 1, 2 or 3, and which have- passed an 1 official test not more than 60 days im- | mediately preceding the bringing of ' such cattle into said township, j 5. All other cattle, not included in I the above-mentioned classes 1, 2, 3, I or 4, which shall have passed a tu berculin test applied by an accredit i ed veterinarian within 60 days im- ' mediately* preceding the bringing of ! such cattle into said township.
