Mr.. j. r. Chadrick, who has
been at work in the Bradford oil
fields for several months past, returned
home for good on Saturday last. He
reports work very scarce up there. He
says if man has a job of work to let
out at living wages he gives it to a
brother or cousin, and that second
cousins stand no show whatever.

the money judiclously expended, and
had they not been discharged so soon
would have made report accordingly.
One day last week while out
spearing, Bruce Crawford saw a pike
which he AYERS by all that's good and
great, was five feet long if it was an
inch. He threw his spear and hit the
fish, but, fearful that it would escape,
he plunged in after it, thinking to jab
the spear in farther, but was too late
the pike was too badly frightened at
the terrible hole which Bruce made in
the water, and disengaged itself from
the spear, thus making good its escape.
Bruce was obliged to crawl out and
return home with the usual "fsher-
mans luck"
