They Say Every Housels an Arsenal.


They Say Every Houseis an Arsenal.
Down at Johnstown they are telling great
storie. about the fear existing among the
farmers of this county and the precautions
they take before admitting callers to their
houses after dark The Tribune recently re-
ferred to the experience Of Mr. Harry Kin
kead and Captain Tom Davis while travelling
through this county in search Of the mur-
derer of old man Ree.-how suspicious of
them the farmers were and how cautions in
admitting them TO their houses or having
any intercourse with them, all owing to the
Umberger murder, and the numerous other
atrocious crimes that have recently been
committed throughout the county. Another
visitor to this county tells a similar story.
Mr.. Jere Walter recently went up there to
visit HE sis:er-Mrs. Grifith-who lives on
the farm adjoining the old Umberger home
stead. He arrived at the house about 10
O'Clock at night. His raps on the door
promptly aroused the inmates, who demand
ed 10 know who the new conner was, and
what was wanted. Mr. Walter explained
the situation, bat his explanation, did not
satisfy those within. Finally, however, the
door wa. opened, and he was confronted by
Mrs. Griffiihs son, and the hired man, both
of whom were armed to the teeth, and had a
supply Of arms and ammunition in reserve
Their equipment consisted of five guns and
three reyolvers. OF course the moment the
situation became known, the threatening
state Of affairs gave way to one of cordial
welcome and rejoicing, but the incident
serves to strikingly illustrate the terrorized
condition of the farming community in this
county.

Mr.. Blongh was one OF the most prosperou:

The Horner cemetery is decidedly one OF
