themselves to have little friendly party there
and surprise the worthy Landlord and his excel

Of a neighbor, and soon after o'clock marched
In solid column TO attack their host The column
moved boldly forward and did not halt until the
pleasant sitting room was reached, where Mrs. H..
was found in quiet enjoyment Of home comforts.
She was soon joined by Mr.. H., who hastened to
her rescue, but taking in the situation at glance,
they gracefully surrendered and threw open the
parlors and bade all a cordial welcome An hour
was spent in social chat, when the large dining
room was cleared, and all who desired triped
the light fantastic toe" for q few hours, when
supper was announced as nexton the programme.
A table was spread the whole length Of the din

dance of good things as one is seldom permitted to
behold, and It Is needless to say thatsl did ample
Justice to this bountiful repast After which an
other hour was spent in social way, when the
company dispersed all feeling that 1t was good to
have been there and that the American" was

A Man Fleeced Of IFS Money by Three Card

On Monday evening Of last week two three
card monte men named Lew Hauk and Frank
Houghton, feeced a German travelling agent from
Toledo, named p. Lohmann out of $50, on the
Toledo q Columbus Railroad, by theirsharp prac

from the swindlers, Hauk drew revolver and
commanded him to be seated, saying he would
blow HE brains out If he called the conductor.
AS Lohmann started forward to give the alarm
Hauk shot him in the face--the ball passing
through his mouth and lodging in theskuIl. The
train was then nearing Delaware station, and the
two swindleB rushed for the platform, and when
the conductor of the train appeared revolver

WARREN-AlthOugh the recent rise in the Ma
honing river had carried down nearly all the ice,
there was still small strip left in the immediate
rear of the residence of Henry Smith, ESQ, and
upon which half dozen or so of young people
were enjoying themselves in skatiHg last Thurs.
day evening. Suddenly two of their number,
Ross Harrington, nephew of G. A, Harrington,
and Miss Anna Ritezel, ventured too near the
edge of the ice, which broke beneath their
weight and they found themselves struggling in
the water. Rob't Van GOrder happened to be a
short distance away and hurried to their assist
ance, but, he also, before he could stop got upon
the weak ice and was himself submerged. The
only other persons on the ice were Miss Carrie
Pond, Howard Baldwin, Charlie Sidels, and Mr.
Frank Merriam. The boys all rushed quickly to
the assistance of the three in the water, who were
in imminent danger of drowning Both young
Harrington aud Miss Ritezel sank twice and were
only rescued after repeated and strenuous efforts,
during which the ice broke several times. Chas.
Sidles devoted himself to the rescue of Miss Rite
eel, and young Baldwin and Merriam materially
aided Harrington and Van GOrder. Had it not
been for the timely assistance rendered by the
three young men mentioned, all who were in the
water must inevitably have been drowned. It
was by all odds the narrowest escape from death
that we have ever recorded. Too much praise
cannot be awarded to those who were instru-
mental in preventing so sad an occurrence, as
this at first was likely to become Constitution.

CoLUMBIANA Coon Wednesday Of last week
the venerable Joseph Fife OF Elkrun township
departed this life, being 90 years, s months and
day old at the time. Mr.. Fife was born in Wash.
ingtOn county, Pa, but moved to Columbiana
county in 1904 when all this region of country was
but little less than wilderness. He served as
soldier in the war of 1872 and was for some years
before his death pensioner of the Government.
He was an active and shrewd businessman in his
prime and was characterized as liberal and pro-
gressive. He was the founder of the Madison
Presbyterian Church, and when the new church
building was erected he was among the most lib
eral contributors. He was industrious and econo-
mical and during his life time accumulated con-
siderable property, He was married in 1914 and
leaves his wife to mourn his loss-Ohio Patriot,

THAT BARREL OF WHIsKY-"Everybody has
been talking round town about that barrel of
whisky that was missing from the stable in the
north part of town, where the drayman had un-
loaded it scarce two hours before 1t was last
Friday evening the stable had been padlOcked.
and about s p. m. the dozen or so of gentlemen,
prominent citizens, were on hand, each with his
jug to get his share of the pure article of nine
years old Maryland whisky. 1t was ordered for
family use and cost five dollars gallon or more.
OF course it was proper and legitimate purchase.
But alas for human expectations, When the
group had gathered then and there to place the
barrel in position so the contents could be run off
and divided off, share and share, the owner
of the premises saw at a glance the valua'
BILE barrel was gone and he exclaimed as soon as
words could be found, Damn it, it's gone" The
door had been forced by twisting off the paddock,
The group of course, did not remain long,
But each took Off his homeward way
Without his whisky-as they say
Though disappointment soon gave place
To laughter that quite changed the case
They took it as a JOKE well DONE:
And felt disposed 10 enjoy the fun
And not to be at all hide bound
They sent the story circing round
Each gossip mind enjoyed it much
From native-born to solid Dutch;
Each passed iton and thought it rich,
Commenting wise in various speeehl
Till all the town was quite agog
