Wolf, John F. - 1908

Detective Charles Wilson, with Constable Morrison, of Straban Township and Large Band of Deputies Catch Fugitive Chicken Thief.

After being chased through Straban township thickets for several hours Tuesday morning by Detective Charles Wilson and a large posse of deputies, Ambrose Dittenhafer was forced to surrender at eleven o’clock at the point of a revolver in the hands of Mr. Wilson. The much hunted, much wanted man was immediately brought to the Adams County jail.

Detective Wilson Monday night organized his band consisting of Constable Morrison, of Straban township, Deputy Fred Kappes and a large posse of Straban township citizens and with this part went to the vicinity of Mr. Dittenhafer’s home and surrounded the house. They remained there until near morning when they thought they saw “Ditty” enter the house.

Detective Wilson at once rushed in and was confronted by the man’s wife who had a shot gun leveled at him. Not dismayed he hurried through the various rooms after the man, being met in one of them by one of Dittenhafer’s sons armed with a gun. No harm was done.

Mr. Wilson failed to find his man Dittenhafer having passed the door instead of entering but the fog was so dense that the mistake was easily made. The posse at once organized to give chase and followed the fleeing man for three miles through the mist seldom being able to catch sight of him. Several shots were fired when the pursuers would see him but none took effect.

Dittenhafer, who is said to possess unusual powers of speed, managed to get away from those following and doubled up on them, circling back to his home. Learning where he was the posse returned to their original place of operations and surrounded that part of the place known as “Dr. Goldsboro’s Thicket.” The time elapsed from the beginning to the end of this chase was between five and six hours and both pursuers and pursued were pretty tired out.

Here the man realizing that his chances for escape were rather slim made a desperate fight and armed with a razor and his “big stick” was ready for a hand to hand combat. Shot after shot was fired into his hiding place and he finally emerged to be met by Detective Wilson whose pistol was pointing straight at his head. Realizing that all was up he surrendered.

Dittenhafer begged Mr. Wilson to let him go saying that he would leave the county. The energetic detective could not see things that way and handcuffs were quickly placed around the man’s wrists and he was hurried to the county jail where he is now incarcerated.

Ambrose Dittenhafer and his “big stick”, which he always took with him appeared at Lower Brothers’ store in Table Rock last Friday afternoon and the man being recognized as the one whom Adams County’s authorities are so desirous of catching, a game was at one put up to arrest the escaped alleged chicken thief.

Justice of the Peace H. B. Mears issued a “warrant” for the man’s arrest and placed it in the hands of Constable John F. Wolf, of Butler township. Constable Wolf appeared on the scene and laid his hand on Ditty who denied that he was Ambrose Dittenhafer. With a vigorous denial he made a dash for the door, Constable Wolf hanging on to his coat and urging the men about to help him hold the man who was fast making his exit.

Dittenhafer was thoroughly frightened and while making for the door implored Constable Wolf not to use violence. Receiving no assistance the Butler township constable was unable to hold on to the fleeing man and the Straban township man got away.

As he passed the door he grasped the “big stick” which he had left outside when he entered and made across the field as fast as he could travel making decidedly uncomplimentary remarks about Constable Wolf on the way.

Ambrose Dittenhafer was given a hearing before ‘Squire Hill Friday and was held for Court. Bail was placed at $1000.

Dealer Praises Weaver Piano

Mr. G. C. Aschbach, one of the most substantial dealers in eastern Pennsylvania, writes as follows to the manufacturers of the Weaver Piano: “You have indeed a piano that you can feel well proud of. It compares very favorably with anything we have on our floor, and you know we handle a number of the finest makes. As long as you make so excellent a piano you certainly deserve the patronage of the legitimate dealer who stil strives to uphold the dignity of the music business.” Mr. Aschbach has made a life study of pianos and knows whereof he speaks. His opinion can be trusted without risk. Send for catalogue of this modern aristocrat among pianos.

Supper Called Off

Chambersburg – The Rev. C. G. White desired to give part of the buck deer he shot to the ladies of the church to serve in a benefit supper. The question arose as to whether it could be legally done and the matter was referred to Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the State game commission, who said that under the state law no part of a deer killed in Pennsylvania may be sold in any form or guise or manner, which cuts out the venison supper.

Russell, Charles - 1908

Night Fire at College
Timely Discovery of Blaze Prevented Ugly Fire. Extinguished, it Breaks out a Second Time.
South College the Place

Fire broke out in South College Tuesday night at half past ten in the walls between the first and second floor and immediately over the room which suffered by the fire of several weeks ago on the afternoon of the Dickinson football game. Tuesday night’s blaze was extinguished before any great damage was done.

It was caused by a large quantity of paper, which the occupants of the second floor rooms have been throwing down the flues below their fire places, catching fire from a piece of burning paper thrown down during the evening. The fire smoldered for a time and then dense volumes of smoke came up the flue and started to fill the room occupied by Joseph Leffler and Charles Russell. It will be remembered that Mr. Russell suffered severely by a fire in his room last year when his curtains became ignited and it was only after the most vigorous sort of work that the room was saved from suffering very great damage.

As soon as Tuesday night’s blaze was discovered a brigade was quickly formed and some water was used. It was remembered that at the time of the fire several weeks ago one of the large chemical extinguishers of the Gettysburg Fire Department had been left in the building for use in case the blaze of that time should break out afresh. This was hurriedly brought from the first floor to the room into which the smoke was fast pouring and the stream of chemicals played down the flue.
The smoke ceased and al thought the incident over. An hour later, shortly before midnight the flames broke out again and the extinguisher was again rushed to the scene and this time the contents were completely soaked with the mixture and no further trouble was experienced.

While little damage was done by Tuesday night’s fire it was a rather narrow escape as trouble would surely have followed if the second blaze had not been discovered when it was. Mr. Russell and Mr. Leffler were preparing to retire for the night when they found that the refuse was again on fire and if this had not happened until a quarter of an hour later when the occupants of the room would have been asleep the flames would probably have gotten a good start before anything could have been done.

Stoner, Ira - 1908

Tragic Death Ends Life of Ira Stoner

The many friends and acquaintances of Ira Stoner were shocked to hear that he had committed suicide Wednesday afternoon at a boarding home in Wilksbarre by shooting himself through the heart. Mr. Stoner is a son of Cicero W. Stoner Esq., of Baltimore street, and though he left here a number of years ago to take up business in Baltimore he is well remembered by his many friends and acquaintances here. He was aged thirty two years.

Mr. Stoner had been working for the firm of Stainey & Company of Baltimore whose business Is the manufacture of cornstarch and other such preparations. He had been working in Wilkesbarre for only a few weeks, soliciting for the goods of his firm. On the afternoon in question he had gone with a friend to the house at which he was staying and after remaining for a short time this friend left. No one saw Mr. Stoner alive after this. He shut his door when left alone and soon afterwards a shot was heard.

The occupants of the house rushed to the place and found that the door was locked. Police were quickly summoned and forced in the door. They were horrified to find the body of the young man lying lifeless across the bed with the blood streaming from a bullet wound in his side and a revolver lying near by.

Mr. Stoner had shot himself through the heart and death was practically instantaneous. The matter was at once taken in hand by the Wilkesbarre police and late Wednesday nght the relatives here and in Baltimore were notified of the tragic end of the young man.

Various motives are ascribed for the rash act. One is that Mr. Stoner was despondent over ill health, and another that he had business troubles. The real reason will probably never be known.

The body will not be brought to Gettysburg but will be taken to East Berlin to-day where it will be interred in the family plot beside hat of his mother and several other relatives.

Ira Stoner is survived by his father and step mother, Mr. and Mrs. Cicero W. Stoner, of this place; his wife and two children, of Baltimore; and one brother, Dr. Henry Stoner, also of Baltimore.
