Mifflintown, Pa, Jan. 22nd,

A few days ago Mr.. Frank Smith
and Maggie his wife from Carlisle
dropped off the cars ut the station
and were not there long till the at
tention of w. NJ Miles baggage agent
was required to maintain the dignity
of his department. To his mild re-
mcnstrance against their conduct
they presented a defiant demsanor
and abusive tongue and Mrs. Smith
became SO worked up over the stu
alton that Amazon Ike she prepared
to slap the baggage agent and affairs
at one time looked as if she might
go so far as to propose making
fair square meal of the gallant Miles.
The able custodian of the baggage
interests however was equal to the
situation he would not be eaten,
slapped, scared or driven from the
proper position that he took in main
tanning order and decent conduct
about his place, so he did the next
best thing and handed the Carlisle
fire caters over to constable Powell
who walked them over to Castle
Lapp. The Sheriff was not at home
having gone to Beaver county to
catch forger but his better half
Mrs. Lapp, assigned the new comsrs
to front room. The Smiths for some
reason were not pleased with their
quarters and raised q fight over it
among themselves and before it WAS
over they had broken out number
of panes of glass and Mrs. Smith
had gotten off n number of wild Yells
that unnerved ali the inmates of the
Jail and caused people in the neigh
berhood to jump to the conclusion
that some innocent female was
being sacrificed to the fury of some
mad or drunken man, George How
er and James Horning hastened to
the iail and at the instance of Mrs.
Lapp put Mr.. Smith in the dungeon
which had the effect of settling the
difficulty between the sojourners.
Smith was so effected by the dun
geon confinement that he delivered
himself of semi-religious specula-
tions that were heard on the streets
near the jail. On the next morning
they were given q hearing before
Squire G. B. Horning. After thor
ough investigation the verdict of the
court was "You are fined two dollars
and costs conditioned upon your
leaving town Immediately They
paid the fine and the costs and left
the town.

outskirts of the town aud after des

rage. The young woman was IN ar
insensible condition when people
who heard her cries came to her assis

her from the fend's purpose. Th'

conspired to ruin the girl. He saiC
! Foley got him into the conspiracy
: because the girls father objected t.

:, of a tree where he hung an hour be
fore he was taken down.
