The parents of some of the pupils in E. D. H. S. have been wondering why their children have been looking so badly. The symptoms of their sickness are as follows: there is a dark brown taste in the mouth, which lasts for about 24 hours each day, and a decrease in appetite is noticeable. The parents’ minds have been pacified by being informed that these are the symptoms of flunkitis. It is always a forerunner of the semester and term examinations, therefore don’t worry, for they will probably recover in time to see the total eclipse of the sun, Saturday, January 24.
HELD FOR MURDER
Britzel Lettier, 25 years old, died in the Pittsburgh Hospital yesterday morning from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted Saturday night, police say, by Frank Galford, following a card game in the rear of a confectionery store which Lettier was part owner. Galford was turned over to the coroner yesterday and then locked up in the county jail.
According to police, Galford had left the store earlier in the night after losing heavily in the game. Later he returned and shot Lettier who was still playing. Lieutenant Jacob Robitzer of the Frankstown avenue police station was called to the scene. After a chase of several blocks, the officer caught Galford but in the struggle which followed he was injured severely. His injuries confined him to his home yesterday. Four other men arrested in connection with the shooting were released at the hearing.
On Wednesday of last week, Chief of Police John Waugh, received a communication from the chief of the Pittsburgh Detective Bureau enclosing a picture of Frank Galford, saying that Galford was held on a charge of murder and inquiring if there was a criminal record against him in his home county of Pocahontas.
Galford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Brown Galford.
In 1907 he was sent to the penitentiary from Pocahontas county for entering the home of the late Isaac Sharp at Edray and taking a sum of money. He is about 42 years of age and married.
