The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1888-07-11

The following item taken from
the Austin, Potter Co., autograph Of
the 9th inst, will be read with much
regret by the many friends of the par.
ties mentioned, who were we'll known
to many of our readers; "On Friday
evening last Mr.. B. De Mcclure re.
ceived the sad intelligence from Wat.
erford that his wife, A. Virginia, was
dead. 1t is with regret that we are
called upon to chronicle the death Of
this estimable lady, although while
visiting her husband and other friends
in this place only few weeks since,
it was evident that she would soon fall
victim to that dreaded enemy, con-
sumption. She was the daughter of
G. w. S. Anderson Esq, Of Water.
ford, Pa, at whose residence she died.
Mr.. Mcclure returned from Water.
ford on Tuesday. The autograph,
with his many friends of Austin, ex.
tend to him the hand of sympathy in
his sad bereavement.
The Oil City Derrick is endeavor.
ing to attract attention to itself by
publishing columns of hog wash re-
lating TO the Everhart murder. The
most careful research of the entire
series of articles fails to bring to light
a single new feature in the tragedy.
1t is simply poor rehash of old
stories.- Clarion Jacksonian Bro.
Carlisle is in the habit Of blurting out
heap O. truths 10 the course of
years writings, but he has at no time
struck the nail head any fairer blow
than in this item. The Derrick re.
hasher is showed out on bis mission Of
begging subscribers to the weakly"
about once a week, and generally re.
turns with bundle of slush that is
dished out simply to satisfy the crav.
ing for news on this interesting topic.
The most common. place facts are
written up in sensational and mis-.
leading manner, with utter disregard
for the truth, while, as the above quo.
tatIon states, there is never new
feature brought to light. 1t will soon
be time for another dose, as the sheet
will want to dispose Of a few extra
copies to keep the machine running,
but there will be nothing new. See if
there is.
On the night of the 9th ult., the
town was visited by sneak thieves who
made sort of general raid on the
private houses of the north ward. N.
S. Foreman's house was visited, and
Mr.. F. relieved of his gold watch,
valued at about S75, and his pocket
book containing about $50 in cash was
taken. These articles were in his
room, not over six feet from where he
slept. Jacob Hoods pants were taken
out of his room and left lying near the
gate. John Hoods house was also
entered, as was also d. w. Clark's,
Patrick Joyce's, and L. j Hopkins
cellar. Nothing of value was missing
from these places, but the thieves left
unmistakable evidences Of their pres.
ence, nearly all of the entrances being
effected through windows. Mrs. Clark
was awake and saw a mans shadow
through the open door next her room,
hut supposed it to be her son, until
she spoke, when the culprit fed. One
night last week parties were proWling
around VIM. Lawrence's premises,
across the creek and tried all the
doors, but were frightened away by
the dog which kept up continuous
barking. On another night an effort
was made to force an entrance into
James Thomas house, also across the
creek, but James succeeded in keeping
them out. This was about the boldest
attempt that was made. Of course
everybody is on guard now, but after
the excitement dies down we may look
for more, in which case We hope to
hear of some of these sneaks carrying
off little cold lead. Let them have
it straight. It's about the most effect.
ual way of stopping it, and the cur
who will 60 prowling around in that
kind of business lie better dead than
alive anyway.
A Serious Accident.
