The law in relation to cigars is q
strange one and we often see different
versions Of it. An exchange gives the
latest after this manner: Every time
the cigar dealer takes a handful of
cigars from the box, sells one and puts
the remainder in the box, he violates
the law; be has no right to return
those cigars TO the box, and he could
be punished for it.
Some one either carelessly, ma.
liciously or accidentally shot q hole
into the gas main out near the wells
on Saturday last, which caused con.
siderable leak and somewhat reduced
the pressure. The hole was patched
on Sunday without any shutdown,
but the result might have been serious.
This is dangerous business, not only
to consumers, but to the perpetrators,
and the party caught interfering in
any way with the line is very liable to
get free ride to Allegheny town.
In our report of the accident at
the hunters camp on Salmon creek
last week, some inaccuracies occurred.
We were informed that the victim, o.
d. Freeman, was druggist at Find
lays Lake, was a brother-in-law OF
Mr.. G. d. Baker, and left q wife and
three children. This is not the case
he was = hardware dealer, a single
man, and no relation to Mr.. Baker
other than a favorite friend. These
facts would seem to mitigate, TO some
extent, the sadness of the unfortunate
affair.
