How Ithaca Lads Find Amusement -
Fridays Ithaca Journal - Alleged to have emulated tactics some what
similar to those employed in olden days of banditry by the famous James
brothers, two Tompkins County youths today find themselves in a serious
predicament. Last evening Maynard Reeves, of this city and Howard
June, of Ludlowville, both aged about 16 years, met the two sons of W.
J. Fulkerson well known grocer and meatman, of North Cayuga Street,
coming down from the Fulkerson home on Renwick Heights, to meet their
father, returning home at that time. Flourishing a 22 caliber
revolver, the pair of would be "bandits" attempted to stick-up" the
approaching couple and when the two younger boys turned and ran, fired
shots into the roadway behind them. The exhibition brought a
protest from residents of that section to the sheriff's office and
Under Sheriff William B. Wilkinson went to the spot and brought the two
lads with their revolver and box of cartridges to the county
jail. The boys may be arraigned this afternoon in Children's
Court with Judge Willard M. Kent presiding and if so, their cases will
be the first to be brought before this newly established court.
They probably will be charged with carrying concealed weapons or
juvenile delinquency, or both, by District Attorney Arthur G. Adams,
who took charge of the investigation of the gunplay.

The Widow Earsley: Commenting on the celebration
which the town of Caroline plans to stage as a tribute to the memory of
the "Widow Earsley." the Newark (N.J.) Star-Eagel, on Friday said:
"Honoring memories of the past is not always quick business, as the
matter of waiting eleven years before paying tribute to Stoy's memory
shows. Greater delay than this however, is a commonplace. Up in
New York State the Town of Caroline is preparing to pay tribute to a
New Jersey woman, who has been dead for many years. This women is
known to history as "The Widow Earsley." and her memory is kept green
because she was the first settler of the part of Tioga County known now
as Owego Township. (See Notes). The widow Earlsey had been the
wife of Francis Earsley, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. They
lived in Roxbury, near what is now the City of Dover, Morris
County. Her husband died in 1794, leaving Maria Earsley with ten
young children and little means by which they could hope to get along
in the world. Not a bit daunted she set out to find a way to
live, for the women of the Jersey frontier in those days had been bred
to a self reliance and daring of the first class. Saddling a
horse she and her oldest son, accompanied by a younger brother, struck
off in the western wilderness and made their way up the Delaware River
following Indian trails mostly, and eventually crossing the
Susquehanna, found the rich lands of Tioga. Here was a place, thought
the Widow Earsley, where a woman and her children might wrest a living
from nature. With her little fortune of $300, raised by selling
what property she had and by collecting the small remains of her
husband's fortune, she bought 100 acres of land. Sleeping in the
woods with a circular fire to guard against panthers, bears and other
wild beasts the trio lived at their new home until they had erected a
cabin. "Then the widow Earsley made her way back to New Jersey,
gathered together her brood and her household goods and made the long
journey back to the wilderness. There she settled and brought up
her family while the country around her gradually became settled by
others who followed her. There also she died, having accomplished
her purpose in this daring adventure. "The Town of Slaterville
Springs is located on part of her old farm, and her descendants still
live thereabouts. Caroline, the Town which after a hundred years
and more, is about to do her honor for her pioneer daring, is not far
distant.
|
(Note: Believe Owego Township is
an error, and should be known now as Caroline Township. The widow
Earlsey settled in the Hamlet of Caroline, in the Town
of Caroline, then Tioga Co., later became Tompkins Co. Slaterville
Springs is a short distance away) |

Car Runs away Down Ithaca Hill -
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Sager Escaped injury in mad Flight of Automobile
Down South Aurora Street: (Ithaca Daily Journal News) Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph Sager, of No 339 Elm Street had a wild ride, about 11
o'clock Sunday morning when their automobile "ran away" on the
steen South Aurora Street Hill and coasted uncontrolled, down the hill
at a "mile-a-minute" speed. When approaching the city the
rear axle on Mr. Sager's care gave way, and when the reached the summit
of South Hill, near the South Side coal yard, he stopped the car, and
as the broken axle had put the foot brake out of commission, sent word
to Reynolds' garage for a car to tow him down the hill. The
garage men attached a rope to the Sager car and the machine, with Mr.
and Mrs. Sager in it, started down the grade, the tow rope broke, and
the car sped down the hill, gathering momentum, at every revolution of
the wheels. Fortunately no other vehicle or persons were in the
path of the runaway car which passed the Ithaca Hotel, jumping several
feet in the air, when it hit the trolley car tracks. A tire was
blown out when the car made this leap. The car continued its mad
course until the 300 block of North Aurora Street, where Mr. Sager
drove the machine into the curb, near the residence of Dr. J. S.
Kirkendall and stopped it. Mr. and Mrs. Sager were uninjured, but
were shaken by their experience. The damage to the car in
addition to the previously broken axle, consisted of a worn out
emergency brake and the damaged tire.
