The Middleburgh post. [volume] (Middleburgh, Snyder Co., Pa.) 1883-1916, 1889-11-14

trict the Democrats must not all
have been out to the polls, or per-
haps they were over to Ohio and
voted there. Iwonder il Boonasteil
wasn't working in Iowa. There
must have been some cause for the
change. We have some voters in
this County that do not belong to
any party, they vote the way their
grand -daddies voted, or the way
some boss wants them to vote.
They are like a hog under gate-go
the way the gate swings.
There is not much astir at present
since the detectives left. If all re-
ports are true that they arrested
Martin DIETRICH with no more evi-
dence against him than they produc-
ed at the hearing they should be
held accountable for the running of
Deitrich's character We cannot see
how they can hold him for trial on
the evidence produced if he is guilty.
But we hope the guilty party may
be brought to Justice rs soon as pos
sible for such murderer should not
20 unpunished.
Last Monday morning Ellsworth
Aurand james Kessler, Ike thinner
man, Scott Ritter and Squire Gaug-
Ter started to New Berlin ridge for
turkeys. They reported grand
time they returned in the evening
with five turkeys, but they had quite
Il time to establish the stock, some
looked more like tame ones than
wild ones. Scott Ritter and Squire
Gauglcr seemed to be true blue
stock, Scott having an old gobler
weighing Is lbs. TO say that their
families were delighted with having
meat on their tables for n meal or so
is putting it mildly.
Sunday evening as two gentlemen
were coming from the Ferry in Il
buggy their horse ran them on n
bridge wall and mashed their buggy
and set them out in the mud OH their
heads. We did not learn their
names but they had better be more
careful after this or they may not
get through so lucky.
Grant Shuck returned home from
n few days hunt with Is pheasant, /
rabbit and l grey squirrel. Grant
knows how to knock them. Irwin
Wilt and his brother Dan. are more
than slaughtering the rabbits.
Jake Kessler goes hunting with
two double barrelled guns and often
kills lame rabbit and sees a white
squirrel.
Geo. Wilt, Jack Bilger and Wm
Mechtly should get their hair cut,
but then their own children would
not know them any more.
Ben. Buffers horse is built on tn,
order of kadydid with very lighr
running gears. Some time they will
break and let its body drop into tn,
