70 Runaway Accident On last Saturday
a1arge delegation left town, headed by
the Bloomfield Band, to attend Re-
publican Mass meeting to be held at
Duncannon. When about miles from
home, the horse attached to the buggy
in which Messrs. A. B. Clouser and J.
w. CAN'T were riding became unman-
ageable and run away throwing the oc-
cupants out. At first it was thought
Mr.. CAN'T was seriously injured, he
having alighted on his head and shoul-

only pretty severe bruises. This horse
in his fright ran against the buggy just
in front of him which was tipped up
and Messrs. Rouse and Nelson unload
ed very unceremoniously; he also struck
two other spring wagons which were
in the procession, disabling the one so
that it was obliged to be left by the road
side. Fortunately no serious damage
was done. Cause, horse scared at goat

Encounter with Tramp On Monday
evening the 10th inst, all the family of
w. II. Dougherty, of Lack township,
were absent from home, except little
girl, who was left in charge CT the house.
The girl had occasion to go up stairs,
and on opening a room door, with the
intention of entering, she saw man in
the room standing at the window which
was open. Immediately on seeing the
man she ran down stairs and out of the
house to corn field, where her eldest
brother (l3 years of age) was engaged in
cutting corn, and told him that "there
was an old tramp in the house." The
boy accompanied his sister to the house
and went into lower room through a
window, where he got a pistol. Being
armed with the pistol and three large
stones, which he picked up on his way
to the house, he went up stairs and be-
gan his search for the tramp. On enter
ing the room that the tramp was in, a
very large, rough looking man jumped
out in the middle of the floor. The boy
stepped back and threw stone at the
man, which struck him on the leg
above the knee. The man then seized a
large ball of carpet rags lying near by

inseperable. Every Ladvance of the one
aids and accelerates the others, and the,
are destined to common triumph oye
their combined foes.-G. T. SteOart.
