Dear FTcend7l-I stated last week that party
from Harrisburg came here to sell patent
medicine called the Pain Slayer"-thaG the
to confess Judgment for their salaries as tntsi-
clans, driver, etc, and that the team had been
levied upon, but the case having become more
interesting since we propose to make a connect
ed statement of the whole matter for the bene-
lit OF your readers. 1t appears that some time
ago q druggist by the name of Kunkel of Har-
risburg, sold four morse team, band wagon
ana lot OF Pain Slayer to a certain DR.
Boomer, and by written contract bound him
to pay one hundred dollars per month on the
tee m ana TO limit nIInsen TO certain territory
east of the Allegheny mountains. Mr.. Bloomer
was not very successful in selling medicine and
Itliei % pay the stlpglatet sums, monthly
Moreover he Travelled out OF the district to
which he was limited. This was sufficient cause
Tor Mr. hunkel 70 claim the team ana stock
Mr. Bloomer had in the meantime employed
driver and band of six musicians, and nos
paying up as ne contracted 10 do, they threat
ened to sue him, when he went before Esq.
Strayer and confessed Judgment for some $3.50
An execution was issued tue team levied upon
and locked up, but when the day of sale came,
the constable would not sell without an indeIn-

young men could not give the required securf-
- and she constable gave up the team and

was under execution, came on from Harrisburg

agreement with Boomer As soon as the team

notified not 10 take the team away as another
