While the big saving was going
on at the May & Kelly mill. last
Wednesday, John Swailes met with a
little mishap which might have
proved extremely serious lie was in
the act Of oiling the edger, when his
jacket was caught by one of the
rollers, which has spikes something
like those on the cylendar of a
threshing machine. In order TO save
himself he was obliged to hold on to a
cross. bar, while the sleeve and part
Of his jacket was torn from his body.
Had not his clothes torn, John would,
in a short time, have made good
stufing for a sausage.
Quite severe accident occurred
to Mr.. w. G. Wilson, who is running
the blacksmith shop on Judge Proper's
farm, on Dutch Hill, last Monday
morning. He was shoeing one Of the
Judges oxen, which becoming frac-
tious, tore loose, and blasting away at
Mr.. W., kicked him violently against
the side ofthe building, breaking two
of his ribs. He suffered severely until
DR.. Blaine arrived and relieved his
pain. He is doing very well now.
"A man named Samuel Howe, and
over 80 years of age, was brutally
murdered near Pioneer, on Oil Creek,
Monday morning. F[e had gone out
into the field to salt some sheep and
horses, and not returning in due time
search was made and his mutilated
body found. A pistol wound was
found in the back Of his head, and
large stone and club, covered with
blood were lying near him. The
assassin is yet at large.
Geo. Hunter one day last week
put "potato," as he called it, into
the well near the depot, and has since
pumped considerable oil out of it. He
has rig fixed for pumping, which we
will not attempt to describe, but which
is run with a sort of pendulum, swing.
ing backward and forward, and with
a slight agitation is kept in motion.
1t works quite well, but makes very
ugly noise.
i he Independent Press of Franklin
came to band last week wonderfully
enlarged and improved. The Press
is now the largest paper in this section,
and under the editorial charge Of Mr..
j. j. McLauren is meeting with great
success. 1t is always GRAINED full and
overlooking with news. The very best
wish We can bestow upon the Press is
that it may prosper as it deserves.
Several new sidewalks are notice
able in town. Those about the public
grounds are receiving the attention of
the County Commissioners; the walks
leading from the street TO and around
the Court House have been torn up
and replaced by substantial new ones.
The ten days notice has already
expired, and if our citizens don't want
an additional 20 per cent. to pay they
had better hestir themselves.
Mr.. and Mrs. 7. B. Cobb arrived
in town on Monday, from Texarkana,
Arkansas, where they have been stop
ping for several months. Mr.. Cobb,
is looking unusually well, the climate
seemingly having agreed with him.
He speaks in glowing terms of that
section of country. We did not learn
whether or not they intend to again
take up their abode in Tionesta.
Two subjects now languish in jail. |
