Reading Bridge Trolley Service in Doubt Amid Court Deadlock
Across the state it appears unlikely trolley service will operate over the street bridge in Reading until court proceedings clarify rail rental charges. Mrs. Sarah Lascombe of Reading and four children were rushed to Homeopathic Hospital with typhoid, the fifth child having died days earlier. In Hamburg, Russel Strausser could not prevent a head on crash with Dr. George F. Potteizer, injuring the doctor and family members. Charles Major in Duncantion shot a weasel with a red squirrel in its mouth. Detectives McGivern and Hallisey arrested Matthew Walton after witnesses saw a toothbrush drop and recovered numerous stolen items including bracelets, rings, necklaces, and silk hose.
