The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1871-09-05

I'm thursday morning NJ Ia L VI
ter, constable from Barnett, arrested
a man in this place, on warrant from
Clarion county, renewed before Esq
Mercilliott, on suspicion of having
stolen a suit of clothes out of the
boarding house at Payne's saw mill.
1t seems that the above transaction is
considerably mixed. On the morning
above alluded to a gentleman from
Clarion presented warrant to Esq.
Mercilliott for renewal, for the arrest
of one Austin. This man Austin the
day before sent a satchel to this place
by the Clarion stage, and in the even
ing was seen coming into town carry
ing another. He staid at the Tionesta
House that night, but had no bag
gage. The gentleman that had the war
rant renewed, showed it tossconstable
Porter, but did not give it to him, with
instructions not to arrest Austin until
he had discovered the satchel that
Austin brought into town with him
the evening previous, supposed to con-
tain the stolen goods. Mr.. Porter ar
arrested the man Austin on sight and
took him before Esq. Mercilliott, who
told him to hold him until the parties
from Clarion came and took him, or
else take him before Esquire Alt,
where the warrant was sworn out. For
some reason Porter let the man Aus
tin 90. After he had left, the consta-
ble from Clarion found the satchel in
/. Hilbronner & Co.'s store, where
Austin had left it the evening previous,
with the clothing in it that had been
stolen, and also some letters, books,
notes, &c. There were several notes
of large amounts payable to the order
of William H. Austin. The consta-
BILE from Clarion Immediately started
in pursuit of Austin, but up to this
time we have not heard of his recap
ture.
We have received private letter
from w. w. Dimond, dated at Cauker
City, Kansas, Aug. 26. He says he
has almost come to stop; 80 we sup
he will settle somewhere near there.
Seven bufialoes paid the town visit a
few days before his arrival, and there
are droves of them only twelve miles
from the city. He proposed to pay
them visit on the day he wrote. We
suppose we shall hear of great slaugh-
ter of the buffaloes, as soon as Will.
draws bead on them. He has passed
through some of the prettiest country
during the past two weeks, that he has
ever seen. Crops are good as ever
were raised in the country. There is
much more land taken up than he ex-
pected. From the city of Solomon to
Cauker City, the distance is eighty
miles. Wm., in company with three
others, hired team to take them to
the latter place. 1t took them two
days to make the journey, and cost
them thirty dollars beside their board.
If he concludes to stay there he hopes
he will not have many such trips to
make. He promises US another letter
soon.
The miscreant that visited Mr..
Tate's house, Saturday night, and re-
turned Sunday night, and eat up lot
of pies and cakes, and destroyed the
, flowers in the porch, and then, to CAP
all, committed nuisance in the porch
had better keep scarce, for one of oui
hardware stores sold Smith q Yves
son revolver, on Monday with good
lot of cartridges. Law will not reach
such fellows as these, and the only just
way to deal with them is to pepper
them OH the SPOT.
Frank Mabie had a runaway &C
cident on Saturday, which resulted ir
the buggy being knocked into cooked
hat, and giving Frank pair of dis
l colored optics, and, in fact, putting Q
. regular head on Frank. This is the
second accident with smashed buggy
that has happened Mr.. Mabie during
the last month, and we suppose the ex
pense will be pretty heavy,
r There is to be a reunion of the
. members of the SD Pa. Regiment, Al
. Meadville, on the 18th inst. One gooC
( strong company of that Regiment wen
! out from here, and we suppose this
9 section will be we'll represented. These
reunions of regiments are very pleas
