Der some time ago we gave an account
of a shooting ARRAY which occurred at
Summit Hill, and was supposed to be
"A Mollie'' who was fired at. Well,
this gentleman you also rembember
came to YOUR office soon after and de-
manded to know who wrote the article,
and saying at the same time that he
was not 4" Mollle," what coward
he was. It now turns out that he was
mot only 4" Mollie," but assisted In
the murder OF officer Yost, of Tamaqua
last july. The saying is true that
when YOU tell person The truth, as
regards himself, he gets mad. This
fellow got mad, went from Summit
Hill to Lehighton to say he wasn't
:" Mollie," when he knew he vas lying
Mt the time. That " Mollie" ia now in

han by name.
A very interesting case was tried be-
fore a board OF Arbitrators, consisting
of VIM. NJ. Rapsher, Ben. Yeager and
- Bealer, on Tuesday last. The case
runs something as follows Jas. An
thony, now decd, went to Ihos. Beck,
OF Lockport, Northampton Co., with
certified list, signed by j. II. Siewers,
the Prothonotary, Of all the Judgments
against his property, and asked Beck to
loan him $500 on the strength OF It,
Beck Said he had no money to loan !;
whereupon Anthony replied you have
money of HSrsonan's. Beck asked
Anthony whether tho certificate was
correct one, to which Anthony replied,
" Yes" as be had Just gotten II from
the Prothonotary, j. II. Slewers. Beck,
however, was not satisfied but, in COM
many with Anthony, took the next
train for Msnch Chunk and called on
Siegers to ksow whether the paper ne
Cavs Antho5 y, and which Beck showed
him, was correct copy of the claims
against Antilony's property, to what
,Siewers replied it was. Beck there
upon loaned Anthony $4,000 of Harson-
ans money, taking therefore ]udg-
ment note. Several years afterwards
it was found that there existed ludg'
ment against Anthony which was not
certified to on the certificate. BECK
neglected to issue execution on his
Judgment when due, but, like many
other men, gave Anthony time to pay
1t, as he DO doubt begged for time
Anthony in the meantime died and his
property was sold by the Sheriff, on
account of the judgment which was
not certified to and being prior to tnat
of Beck's. 1t followed that the sndg'
ment OF Beck's was not fully reached.
An action was afterwards Instituted
against J, II. Siewers for the balance,
on the ground that he issued a certih-
cate under his official seal, taking there
fore pay. purporting to be a correct
copy of al the claims in his Ohice
against Anthony, and on the strength
of which Beck loaned the money. The
arbitrators, Tuesday, at the conclusion
of the arguments, rendered an award Of
no cause OF action, and in favor Of j.
ii. Siewsrs. The case will be appealed
