AMMUNITION WASTED.
An All-Nisht Battle in Which 300
Harmless Shots We're Fired. N5 5r

al A1A-S1SnG IN WHICH 'oVO
Harmless Shots We're Fired. # tr
WASHINGTON, Pa. Dec. 21.-An al1-night
battle occurred Wednesday night between
Hugh Curry, wealthy farmer in Ainwell
township, and number of men in am
bush. Three hundred shots were fred, but
no one was wounded. Curry's house was
riddled with bullets and his tcrror-stricken
family spent the night in the cellar.
Towards morning there was lull in the
battle and Curry alarmed the village by
ringing the bell in the tower. Several
friends came to his assistance and remained
with him until daylight
1t has since been learned that Curry's
assailants were watch1nen who were guard
ing the property of Marion Curry, whose
property adjoins that OF his brother High.
Marion. Curry has suffered from incendiary
fires in which he has lost thousands Of
dollars. The first fire was on May II, and
since then he has lost twenty nine hay
stacks, a barn and stable. The frequent
fires have almost craZed Curry, and he has
been fearful OF his lie. Recently he placed
guards about his farm to protect it. The
guards claim that Hugh Curry fired the
first shot, and as he had been annoying
them they returned the fire which resulted
in a perfect tusillade for the rest OF the
night. The brothers have not been friends
for years, and the trouble is looked upon as
family affair.

PENDANTS counsel, carefully outlined the
facts which could be proven by witnesses
for the defendant. He spoke for fully two
hours. Nellie May, witness for the state,

merrily home with his string OF fish, was
spoken of in the highest terms.
He would prove by testimony given for
the state and by his own witnesses that his
client was as innocent as the babe upon its
mothers knee. The station agent at Mont
rose testified that the afternoon passenger
train on the dav Of the murder was on sched-
ule time-4:l9 D. IN. That Johnnie Mazue
was in Waverly and started homeward
down the track just before the afternoon
passenger arrived was proven by oreditable
witnesses. Nellie May, according to her
evidence, had followed him past the scene
of crime, and when left by her at D. nj. he
was nearing his own home, which he
reached at $50. His mother was still busy

have embarrassed the president, Mr.. Lin

ment was then made that his resignation, if
it came, would not be until the president
was ready to receive it. The talk has been
that the minister did not like London. but
was willing to take his old post as
secretary OF war if it should be offered to
him. Gen. Harrison, however, preferred
that Mr. Lincoln should remain in London.

A Story OF the Season for Small
Boys.
Santa Claus sat by the FIRE in his
own home looking very much troubl-
ed sE
Santa Claus sat there thinking
thinking. It was just before Christ
mas. What was the matter with the
good jolly old Saint? Had his sleigh
broken down? Had any Of his rein
deer got loose?
But no, lit was none ofthese things.
Couldn't he find toys enough to go
round? Bless your dear little anxious
heart, don't you be afraid OF that!
Santa Claus had toys.eno That
wasn't the trouble!

Santa Claus had not planned a,
single thing; and that: why poor

state OF worry and anxiety This

VIII ose good parents had long before
Christmas sent in his name to Santa
Claus: But although there had been
plenty Of time, and Santa Claus had
put plenty OF thought upon the mat
ter, he had not yet been able to decide
upon one thing for that little boys
stocking. i. -
Perhaps it seems strange to you
that Santa should be puzzled about
such a. thing as that, when filling
stockings is his regular profession, but
the little boy to whom that stocking
belonged was a very strange and I'M
usual child. Whatever was gwen to
him hewould either break to pieces
very soon or do some naughty mis-
chief with.
. Yet kind old Santa could not bear
to leave even this stocking empty.
So he had been puzzling his brains to
find something with which the little
boy could not hurt people, and some
thing he could not break; and although
he had been thinking over all his lists
of toys and presents, nothing had
he found yet!''
'Chlrp! Chlrp!" sounded a sharp 1T
tie voice. "You may as we'll give it
up. He doesn't deserve anything, the
little scamp!'

Santa. "Come up here" and as hi
