Its mem bership is to be limited to veterans who were under the fire of the enemy not less than 90 days or who were wounded and disabled from further service within that period. George E.

AFRAID OF THE KING
He is Mad and Has Made a
 Cave in the Mountains.
FROM A STATE ASYLUM
A Posse of Citizens Organizing to
 Arrest Him.

He Appears in an Almost Nude Condi-
 tiOn-A Party of Berry PIckers Flee
 for Their Lives-He Carries a Large
 prOaOh Him.
 ASHLAND, Pa., Aug. "A madman has made himself cave on the mountains south of this city, and, calling himself "King of the Mountains" will allow no person to advance within 30 yards of his strange residence. His name is Jose ph Minnick. He resided here a number of years and Is well known throughout the county. Minnick's insanity was first discovered in 1886, when he attempted suicide, throwing himself across the railroad track before a passenger train, but was rescued by workmen after a se- were struggle.
 He was then taken to the city station house, which he set on fire, and was badly burned and almost suffocated. He was removed to the State Asylum, but IA months ago managed to escape, and walking from Harrisburg to this place, 8 distance of 90 miles, stepped into his home and announced to his astonished wife and children that he had come back to stay. A few days later he became violent and was returned to the State in- stitution. Recently he made 8 second escape, and came to this city on foot, visited his home and took refuge in the mountains.
 Three days ago party of berry pick CTS came upon him very suddenly. As soon as be saw them he commenced yell ing, which caused the women to drop their baskets and flee for their lives. They notified number of men of their discov: cry, who started for the "King's" cave, but they had not proceeded far before they were confronted by that individual, who, brandishing huge knife, command ed them to depart at once or abide by the result.
 On Thursday he appeared at Washing ton Park in an almost nude condition and put to flight a large crowd that was present. He then disappeared in the woods and has not been seen since. Much excitement prevails, as it is feared he will do considerable harm before he is cap tured. Several attempts have been made to reach the cave, but each time he has detected them and grows more furi- ous at each effort. A posse of citizens is being organized with 8 view of making a raid on the cave at night to arrest the would-be "King of the Mountains" and safely lodge him in the asylum from which he escaped.

Perhaps you don't quite understand the meaning of "broken lots" as ap- piled to clothing It means suit not all made up from the same piece of goods. It doesn't mean that the trous- CTS won't harmonize with the coat or that any one of the articles will be out of place when worn with the other. On the contrary, some exceedingly be- coming combinations can be made at prices that astonish the purchaser. Broken lots and shattered prices go together you will find if you call at our store this month and want a suit for yourself or boy.
