Riot In CIearfield County.

On Friday last, desperate affray took
place between the raftmen and log Aoaters
engaged in their different vocations on
Clearfeld Creek. 1t occurred at a point
called Driftwood Island, aud resulted in
the severe wounding Of five logmen and
the destruction Of quantity Of provisions,
tools, &c. The following persons were in
jured:
Geo Chandler shot in the back. j. f.
Parsons, shot in both legs. David Cam
eron, shot in both legs Geo Miller, shot
in forehead and hands. A Frenchman,
name unknown, was also shot
The logmen were completely routed, the
raftmen being well supplied with firearms,
and nerved to desperation by long suffer.
ing, having resolved to win the field or
die. Immediate routing after Of their ad-
versaries, the victors betook themselves to
the destruction of their property, tearing
down their cabin, destroying their boats,
three in number, and throwing their pro-
visions into the Creek They then burnt
the tools of the logmen, throwing the iron
portions into the water. None of the raft
men we're injured SO far as we have heard.
This outbreak was not unexpected, but
has long been feared by the peace-loving
citizens of Clearfeld. The two parties
have long maintained threatening posi-.
ton towards each other, and the affair We
have recorded is but the natural conse-
quence of long standing animosity. The
raftmen have suffered great Inconvenience
from the running Of loose logs, and have
made repeated efforts to prevent it while
the log. g.aoaters, deeming their pursuit per-
fectly legal and honest, have persisted in
their course. But the matter has now
come to q crisis, and the time has arrived
when the strong arm of the law must in-
terfere to prevent the recurrence Of such
scenes hereafter. The contest Of physical
strength has now commenced, and until
the difficulty is finally settled, Clearfield
will be miniature Kansas, and the fights
between the opposing parties will be as
frequent and sanguinary as tie feuds with
which that Territory was recently dis
tracted
A bill to prohibit log floating has been
Tor some time before the Legislature, and
We hope some definite action will soon be
'aken on the subject. As the case now
S'ands' neither party understands their
real position, each deeming the other
wrong, and looking upon themselves as
much aggrieved and injured. This state
VI atairs should no longer be permitted to
e1is'' And the only way to end it is to dis.
pose OF the bill now pending at Harrisburg.

STREAK OF GOOD LUcK.-We learn
that our old friend Jacob Freeman, of the
Borough Of Freemansburg, ha. recently
secured about sll 900 which be had look
ed upon as lost for some years In the
year 1887, Mr. Freeman endorsed notes
for Mr.. Andrew Oberly, who at that time
was largely engaged in the distillins busi-
ness near Freemansburg, to the ssnount
af $4,000. Mr.. Oberly failed and "cus

ssrs to pay his no,es-to do which Mr.
Freeman was obliged to sell the Freemans.
burg bridge, of which be was at that time
the proprietor. Discovering that Oberly
had settled in Ohio, Freeman followed
him and obtained q judgement and there
the matter ended. He acquired property
there, which he held in his sons name,
but finally emigratsd to Iowa, where he
became quite wealthy, and thinking the
old judgment had been forgotteu, be pur-
chased and held property in his own name.
On ascertaining these facts, Mr. Freeman,
four or five weeks ago, went to Ohio, got
transcript Of his old Judgment, and then
paid visit to Iowa: where he secured the
services Of the Sheriff and together they
rode from the County town to the resi-
deuce of Mr.. Oberly and made levy on
fine farm of 200 acres, worth $50 an
acre, aud other property. At irst, Oberly
denied to the Sheriff that he had ever
known such q man as Jacob Freeman;
the Esquire told him he I" knew him we'll
enough when he endorsed his notes, and
had come there to renew his acquaintance.
With the interest for 20 years added to
the original sum, the claim now amounts
to over sll 800, which is fully secured
