THE HISTORY OF APOLLO. JUSTICES.
Michael Cochran has already been mentioned as a justice in the township. William Watson, also, was a justice in the township and Wm. Watt, of DuBois has sent to Ira J. Wray an old deed executed by 'Squire Watson. The deed is a relic inasmuch as it records that Wm. Johnston and Thos. Hoge, not being satisfied with the title through sheriff's sale of the tract called Warren's Sleeping Ground, had taken out a new patent for said tract. In this deed it mentions the patent as dated May 25, 1815 and conveyed by Hoge to Wm. Speer. In this document Johnston and Speer convey the title of lot No. 36 in Warren to John Uncafer for $23. Date of conveyance January 8, 1817. It is signed by Wm. Johnston and Ally Johnston, whose name is written Alice in the body of the deed but she signs her pet name. It is signed also, Wm. Speer and Agness Speer. John Croll, Recorder.
Another justice of note was James Guthrie. He came to Warren in 1833 when 27 years old. He was a surveyor, a tanner and then engaged in real estate. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for ten years. Wm. Henry was another notable justice. He was a stonemason and worked along the canal from 1826 until it was fin- ished at Johnstown in 1829. He engaged in the Hope Salt Works, which he and his father-in-law, Dr. Samuel Talmage established at the site of the Indian Town Kiskiminetas above Leechburg, for twenty years. He came to Apollo in 1850. He got his first com- mission as justice in 1853. He served in that capacity for forty-one years altho he was a Democrat in a Republican town. He attended to the duties of his office until a few weeks before his death which occurred December 2, 1898 in his ninety-third year. He was well versed in law and it was his pride that few of his decisions were ever reversed in court .. J. Q. Cochrane is at present justice. He has been identified as teacher and lawyer with Apollo for many years and has always advocated any movement beneficial to the town. W. W. Hill, the other justice, is proprietor of the news stand and a cigar store.

CONSTABLES.
Among the old-time constables who were the terror of the small boys were Wm. Miller and H. A. Rudolf. They were both re-elected many times. The former was almost a life-time sexton of the Presbyterian Church. He lived to be a nonogenarian. The latter was the chief shoe merchant for many years. John Jack, who is an ex-constable is now visiting in Apollo. He is 83 years old.

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO. SUBURBS.
Paulton, on the Westmoreland side, is a flourishing village. It has a post office of its own. It has a hotel and several stores. The schools, two rooms have about eighty pupils. The town was named after John Paul, who was a prominent property owner and resident. He died in 1891, aged 88.
Oklahoma was laid out on the Wm. Chambers farm opposite Apollo in Westmoreland County. It was started about the time Oklahoma Territory was opened for settlers. Some wag dubbed the village Oklahoma and the name took. It has two general stores and two schools with 100 pupils.
Cherry Lane, located on the Hilty farm south of town was so called by Harry F. Jack who had purchased a plot of ground and laid it out in lots. Two lanes bordered by cherry trees suggested the name.
Vilas, the long row of houses along the river south of Apollo was so named by Labanna Stitt, an ardent Democrat. He named it after the postmaster-general. Mr. Stitt moved from Vilas to Blairs- ville to take charge of a gas line. He met an untimely death by suf- focation while attempting to shut off a regulator.
West Penn is the name used for the mining village. Skibo was the name given by one of the company but the miners did not take kindly to a Scotch name. These three suburbs furnish about eighty pupils who attend school in a two story building in Cherry Lane.
Sugar Hollow, an extension of Eleventh Street, was, when the town was young, a favorite place for making maple sugar and syrup.
Mckinstry Hill is a small settlement east of town. It was laid out by Wm. Mckinstry on his farm. The children attend Sugar Hollow School. The building is of two stories but only one room is used at present. There are thirty pupils.
North Apollo, usually called Pegtown, was called so because the houses were built hastily when Simon Truby laid out the plot. Near- ly all the houses were set up on locust posts and walls built later. As they were set on "pegs" the name appeared appropriate to some one.
Allison received its name from the Allison Lane along which it was built.
Luxemburg Heights is built on the Truby farm. It was peopled at first by Luxemburgers who were employed mostly at the galvan- izing shops connected with the mill at that time. The name was bestowed on this settlement by Dr. T. J. Henry in reporting births and other casualties. North Apollo, Allison and Luxemburg Heights furnish two hundred pupils who attend at the latter place where there is a large school building.

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO. THE BIG MAPLE.
On the morning of October 21, 1911, occurred the "Racket Store Fire." The large maple tree, which was the most noted landmark in Apollo, caught fire in its hollow trunk where the sparrows had built and bred for years. The firemen fighting the flames of the burn- ing store and the Guthrie residence turned the stream on the tree and thought the fire extinguished. From a few sparks the smouldering fire unnoticed gained headway during the day and in the evening suddenly burst forth in flame. So fierce were the flames pouring out of the shattered top that it was plain the old tree was doomed. By night it was spectacular. More than thirty feet of the huge trunk were in flames, the sparks rising and circling in the heated air above the hundreds of spectators who stood watching the tragic passing of the giant tree. Fearing for the electric wires, men placed guys on the limbs and attacked the trunk with axes. By dint of chopping and the fierceness of the flame the once pride of the forest soon lay a charred and sorrowful heap. This tree stood at the N. W. corner of Warren Avenue and North Third Street. It is mentioned as "The Big Maple" in documents dated 1806. The plot of ground upon which it stood was laid out by James Guthrie in such a way as to preserve the tree. Many regrets were expressed at its loss and even school children carried chips away as souvenirs. This tree was 21 feet in circumference and more than 100 feet tall.

D. H. Williams has been Apollo Messenger to Pittsburgh for twenty-seven years. He has missed no trips except on Sundays and holidays. He has traveled more than 680,000 miles or 27 times as far as around the world.
Among the industries of the past in Apollo and not heretofore mentioned are coverlet weaving, making of chairs,, mill-wheels brooms, baskets, copperware, cigars, gloves, the manufacture of lad- ders, marble cutting and boat building.
The lots now occupied by Owens and Clowes at head of First Street was lot No. 10. It was sold to Robert Carnahan by deed of January 1817. In 1832 it was sold for taxes of 1830, 4c and 1831, 3c and costs for same amounting in all to $17. Evidently not much of a real estate investment.
AUTOMOBILES.
The first automobile owned in the immediate vicinity of Apollo was a Toledo Steamer, run by steampower, purchased by Henry D. Bellas, of West Apollo in 1900. The first one owned in the borough was by J. T. Klugh in 1902. This was a Winton, gasoline power. At present Apollo has five public garages and over seventy machines within the borough limits.

Thomas Wittmer owned the only aeroplane in this neighborhood and Joseph Scott is the only licensed aviator.
John Kowalsky, a former citizen, invented an aeroplane which was successfully flown on several occasions. His gas engine is one of the most efficient on the market.
THE POUND.
There used to be a pound at the foot of South Third Street. It was an enclosure which extended across the street and was used to imprison captured cattle caught roaming the streets after their free- dom of the city had been abrogated by ordinance. The fine was usually one dollar, one half of which went to the constable who captured the animal and one-half into the town treasury. The dog- catcher, altho sadly needed is an official of the past.

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO.
THE BASIN.
The old basin was a reservoir extending from North Fifth to " North Seventh Street, on the west of the present railway. It was from eight to fifteen feet deep. It was the supply for water-power for the rolling mill. The waste wier was at the northwest corner where the unused water ran into the river. Simon Truby had a saw- mill at this point. This was a favorite skating park. After the dam at Roaring Run broke in 1866 the water supply for the basin was impossible. The only remaining evidence of this vast pond is the depression in the "Y" at the foot of Seventh Street.
The picture of S. M. Jackson and his horse, Frank, was taken from one sent from the front to Robert Jones. Mr. Jones being a lover of horses, made a trip to Canada and returned with two black Canadian stallions. A trip at that time was no insignificant journey. He traveled thro forests without seeing a habitation until he came to a long log inn. He put up his horses intending to stay all night but the wild looking crowd of halfbreeds and backwoodsmen loafing in the tavern made him uneasy. He ate his supper and, getting his horses, he rode all night. He came to a small village after daylight and put up for a much needed rest. Mr. Jones made the whole trip on horseback. After S. M. Jackson was made colonel, he was home for a few days. He took a fancy to the horse called Frank. Mr. Jones was loth to part with him but finally agreed to sell him with the understanding that should he return safe from the war he was to be re-possessed of him. At the close of the war, Tom Taylor, the colonel's colored hostler, rode the horse home and he came into the possession of Mr. Jones according to the contract. The animal was very intelligent and tractable. Samuel Jones, of Westmoreland County has one of his descendants.
BIRD LIFE.
About forty different species of birds may be seen in the vicin- ity of Apollo. Mud martins and bank swallows have entirely disap- peared. The purple martin has been attracted to Vandergrift be- cause of the neglect of our citizens to provide suitable boxes. A few boxes appropriate for wrens, bluebirds and martins would probably repay for the slight trouble of placing them.
THE BOROUGH HORSE.
Some agitation on the purchase of a borough horse led to a series of articles in the News-Record under the caption "Cogitations of the Borough Horse." The first equine owned by the borough was stolen. The second animal, unconscious of the lack of appreciation, has plodded faithfully along our streets dragging his heavy cart until he has demonstrated his cost as a good investment. He is now 27 years old.

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO.
The first safe in Apollo was owned by John Chambers. At the time Andree sold his farm to Mr. Owens he was paid nearly all in gold and silver. Mr. Andree's son having charge of the cash stayed all night at Mckinstry's. During the night Mr. Andree being ill, they heard some one prowling around the house. Wm. Mckinstry called out to the trespasser to leave or he would shoot. It was quiet for some time when a little dog gave the alarm once more. They stood guard all night and the next morning they put the money in a bucket and covered it with eggs. In that way they conveyed it into town and put it into Mr. Chambers' safe.
At the time of the big fire in Apollo, Dr. McBryar and Mr. W. C. Bovard fearing to trust to the bank safe as entirely fireproof, took the most valuable papers and money and put them in Bovard's bakeoven until a more suitable place could be arranged.
COMMUNITY TREES.
According to a lately established practice, Apollo took steps toward having a Christmas tree in public. The first tree was erected in the ball park. It was illuminated with colored electric lights and otherwise decorated. An address and music constituted the program for the Christmas observance. This first tree was in 1912. The tree of 1913 was erected at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and North Fourth Street. The two succeeding trees have been put up on First Street.
FIRST COLORED PEOPLE.
The first negro in Apollo was James Kennedy familiarly known as Nigger Jim. He worked for John Vorhaur and had saved about $300 when two traveling men induced him to go with them on a promise of a good salary. Unknown to Jim they gradually worked down below Mason & Dixon's Line where a gentleman informed him that he heard the two men planning to sell him. Jim migrated north at once. On his arrival in Apollo, he said he could get along without the cash which the conspirators retained but he was glad they hadn't put him also in their pockets. Jim kept a little candy and cigar store for a long time. Dick Williams was the second negro man to arrive in town. S. H. McGeary, of Pennsylvania Avenue says he remembers well about seeing Dick drive a double yoke of oxen into town. He had come from Pittsburgh with a load of mater- ial for the new nail mill. He worked for Mr. Crane who was interest- ed in the new works.
Belle, a domestic for 'Squire Bigham and Fanny (Frances Orr) who worked for Robert Jones were the first two colored girls in Apollo. At present we have a furniture store, three restaurants and four barber shops conducted by colored people.

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO.
THE DEEPEST SNOW.
The deepest snowfall recorded in Apollo was that in the year 1910. January 22d there were 26 inches and on February 11th, 12 inches more fell. All traffic was suspended for several hours. The picture in this work was taken on January 29th.
GARBAGE FURNACE.
Apollo Borough purchased a site up Sugar Hollow on North Eleventh Street extension and built a garbage disposal furnace in 1914. Mr. Barnes, of Hobart, Oklahoma, was the builder. It cost · $2,815.50.
A street sweeper was bought the same year. The latter was paid for by popular subscription.
APOLLO FAIRS.
The Fair Ground is located north of Apollo, having been built on the Hildebrand farm. The first fair was in 1890. It was not a financial success and was soon abandoned. The Kiskiminetas Valley Agricultural and Driving Association was organized by interested parties in Apollo, Vandergrift and Leechburg. It has been held an- nually since 1910.
CONCRETE WORKS.
Preston C. Grimm beginning with paving and the manufacture of concrete blocks has added thereto the manufacture of National Concrete Burial Vaults. 'His plant is located north of Apollo on the tract known as the old ball field.
WIRELESS STATION.
Albert S. Wilson, chief electrician for the Apollo Steel Company has established the first wireless station in Apollo. It was in service in 1915. His sending and receiving set is at his residence on North Fifth Street. Quentin Bellas, Leland T. Henry and John Fiscus, Jr. also have wireless sets.
When the "gold fever" struck Apollo in 1852, Patrick Turney and Cornelius Blue were the first to leave their canal boats and speed westward. They stuck together and took up two claims in Californ- ia. Both were "paying" claims. The first year they were swindled out of $18,000 by a bogus express company. The next year they worked their claims alone and, in the parlance of the day, came back "well heeled." A few other citizens tried their luck for the golden sand, among them were Jack Ford, Charles Silverman and R. S. Cochran.
John McIlwain lost an election bet to John B. Chambers over the election of the Governor. McIlwain was so sure that the Democrats

THE HISTORY OF APOLLO.
would lose this year that he planned to have Mr. Chambers, who was an ardent but very fleshy Democrat, wheel a bushel of apples from Apollo to Kittanning. It seems that not enough Republicans turned out on election day and the Kittanning papers chronicled the en- trance of John McIlwain and his wheelbarrow into that city after pushing eighteen miles over country roads to pay his debt, a tired, wiser but less enthusiastic man.
