COUNTY FAIR HAS “FAIR”
WEATHER AND BIG CROWDS 

No more favorable weather could have been furnished if ordered for the occasion, then smiled upon the twenty-eighth annual fair of the Albany County Agricultural Society, which held forth this week at Altamont. 

Some estimate the attendance at 10,000 on Wednesday and 15,000 on Thursday. 

On both days the ground inside the track was a waving sea of automobiles, and on Thursday even the streets of the village accommodated the ever-increasing number of machines that came from early morning until the afternoon. 

Special and regular trains brought in many more visitors and buses from neighboring cities formed yet another means of reaching this year’s greatest fair. 

Mishaps at the Fair 

On Wednesday, E. Sharrow, who was exhibiting a rattlesnake, was struck by it and its fangs entered his right hand. A Red Cross nurse furnished all aid possible until Dr. Cullen could treat the hand. Dr. Cullen advised his going to Ellis Hospital and it is said his hand and arm were very much swollen and he was suffering much pain when he reached Schenectady. 

KNOX. 

The people of the Knox Reformed church wish to thank all who gave toward the purchase of the new bell, also those who assisted in installing it in the belfry. 

VOORHEESVILLE. 

— Tsuru Aoki is the first Japanese woman to become a star in the moving picture firmament. “Locked Lips” is a story of romantic Hawaii starring Tsuru Aoki. She is a Japanese girl and a school teacher on the Hawaiian Island of HIlo. An American fugitive from justice comes to her home, she becomes his wife, is deserted and led to believe herself a widow, in “Locked Lips,” which will be seen at I.O.O.F. Hall here at 8 o’clock Saturday night, Sept. 25. If you were visiting the home of a friend and there met the master of the house, who was none other than your own husband, whom you had supposed dead, how would you act? That is one of the big situations in “Locked Lips.” 

— Mr. and Mrs. Earl Batcher and children of Albany and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wormer of this place motored to Ashokan dam on Sunday, a distance of 168 miles. 

MAN KILLED IN D. & H. WRECK LAST SATURDAY 

Investigation by Coroner John E. Mullen is being made into the collision on the Delaware and Hudson railroad between Knox and Altamont Saturday afternoon, in which Claren Duesler, 21 years old, a brakeman, of Glenville, was instantly killed. 

According to information obtained by the coroner, the handcar crew heard the locomotive give a signal when it was about a half or three quarters of a mile from where the accident happened. They started to remove the car from the tracks, and had it half-off, it is said, when they saw the work train apparently less than 100 feet away and ran to safety. 

The handcar was knocked over a knoll about 35 feet east of the tracks. The work car was wrecked and the heavy locomotive overturned. For more than ten hours Duesler’s body was pinned beneath the cab. 

Dr. Thomas M. Holmes performed an autopsy at the direction of Coroner Mullen, which showed that the man’s skull was fractured, every bone in his body broken, and he was badly scalded.
