There was quite gathering of the peo-

Iniured I'm a RunaMA Ay.

Last Wednesday Mrs. f. $. Burgoon and
her sou, boy about sixteen years of age,
both residing in Ashvifle. Cambria county.
where they conduct a store, were in the
city to procure some goods for their estab-
lshInent, such visits being customary with
them. They had one horse AMI small de-
livery wagon. When they reached the
premises of Mr.. James TreXler, on their
way home, one of the holding back straps
on the horse broke, and the animal ran
away. Mrs. Burgoon thought it il best TO
jump of, and in doing so she broke her
right leg just above the ankle. The boy
stuck To the horse and wagon for two miles
over very rough roads. When near the
Ashville graveyard tie horse ran into the
heavy spring wvgon of Mr.. John Mccoy,
and the runaway's vehicle was upset and
the shafts broken. This stopped the
flight. The boy was badly frightened and
hurt but no bones were broken Mr.. Nc
Coy then turned back TO where Mrs. Bur
goon had been thrown on the road, helped
her INTO his wagon and took her to his
homc.-iuOoRd Times.

The Republican leaders in this county

The erection of marble is the last work

followed from the earliest ages of an
tiquity. For many years j. Wilkinson &
Son have been in the marble business in

honorable dealings, they have built for
themselves a reputation for doing their

The First National Bank, OF Clearfield,
of which William II. Dill is president,
closed its doors on Wednesday of last week.
This institution was one of the oldest, and,
for wears, considered among the strongest
banks of the state. President Dill sub
mitted the following for publications:
An unprecedented run on Saturday,
Monday and Tuesday on the First Nation
al Bank of Clcarfield, Pa, amounting to
nearly $4,000, made it impossible To con-
time business, and therefore the bank sus-
pends payment
There has been a continuous run on s.his
bank since December last. This was oc-
casioiicd by the fact a. L. Boynton, Tor
merly vice e-president of the bank, sold his
stock As 4 brOther-in-law of the presi-
deut, this, of course, created distrust and
made run. The bank has helped a num-
ber Of business men financially during the
past two years, and has lost considerable

The Houtzdale bank, a branch of the
ClearfeId bank, also closed the same day.
