Bob Gillespie had his face Slightly
burned last week while doing some re-
pairs around the gas engine.
J. J. McCarty spent portion of yes
terday in Silver Brook among friends.
"Scotty" Allen and William Winters
returned home last week after six
months trip through the West.
Everything is in readiness to open the
hunting season tomorrow. So eager are
some of the hunters to get into the brush
that few of them will make general
holiday of it.
Quite a number of our young men will
attend ball at Halle Hall, Hazleton,
tonight.
The water supply is still holding out
very good, though it is not as good as it
might be. The little stream running
under the road leading to the store is
dried completely. The one which emp
ties into the pond near the depot is also
dry. In the memory of the oldest in
habitants this something that has never
occurred before.

Opening the Hunting Season,

The real opening of the hunting sea-
son takes place tomorrow, November /,
and the numerous hunters of this vicin-
ity are making ready for big harvest
from now until the first of next January.
Rabbits are the principle game here
abouts, and those who are able to sur.
vive the army of dogs, men and boys
who chase them are considered fortu.
nate.
Hunters should remember that there
are a number of restrictions placed upon
them by the law, and the game club in
tends to see that none of these restric.
tions are violated.
Hunting on Sunday is punishable with
fine of $25 for each offense. Hunting
of rabbits with ferret costs $40 for
each rabbit so caught or killed. Hunt
ing pheasants during the nighttime in
any manner calls for penalty of $40
for each violation.
There is every reason to believe that
rabbits will be more plentiful this year
than they have been in many previous
seasons. The best indication is the
number of rabbits seen in the roads
early in summer. Pheasants are abun-
dant, too, and altogether it seems to be
a good year for game.

Work Ahead for Election Officers.

1t is said that at some of the polling
places it may take upward of twenty
four hours to officially count the ballots
deposited under the Baker law. The
amount of work required to be gone
through with, it is claimed, makes the
labor of getting out the official count not
only burdensome, but will delay the an
aouncement of the final result in large
districts when there is considerable cut
ing from five to seven hours after the
polls have closed on election day.
Section 23 of the law, it is held, pre-
cludes the possibility of the election
officers getting anything to eat from the
time the polls close until the votes are
counted. That may tend to hasten the
work some, as under the old system the
election officers frequently spent an
hour eating supper before they began
counting.
Now they "must at once proceed to
count the votes" after the polls close, and
no one is allowed to Communicate with
any officer in any way after the polls
are closed" That part of the s ction, it is
claimed, prevents the meals being serv-
ed to the election officers before finish
ing the count.
If Freeland's 425 registered voters, be-
sides those who will vote on age, those
who came here since the registry was
made and those who failed to get regis
tered, if they all vote, the officers will
wish they had followed the suggestions
made by the TRIBUNE last summer and
petitioned the court for division of the
borough. The full borough vote will
come nearer to 500 than to 400, and the
members of the board will find the job
is not snap before or after the polls
close

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Members of Kansas Sub-Allinnoe A,
reatell for n Terrihle Crime.

Members OF Kansas sub-Allianoe Ar
rested for Terrible Crime.
TOPEKA, Sept. 1.-Frank Kinsey and
Jerry Hutton has been arrested at Sedan,
Chautauqua county, for the murder of
John S. Frazier, wealthy cattle man,
June ~, 1890. Kinsey and Hutton are
members of surveillance in Chautau-
qua county and twenty-four warrants
have been issued for the arrest of the
remainder of the Alliance who are
charged with being in the conspiracy.
The arrests were made through the in
stigation of Governor Humphrey and
the detectives who have worked up the
case claim to be in possession of
facts which prove that the murder OF
Frazier was discussed in secret Alliance
meetings and the men arrested appoint
ed to do the work. The news of the ar
rest has created the greatest excitement
throughout the western border. All
day long wagons have been pouring into
Sedan and extra precautions have been
taken to prevent the prisoner from being
lynched.
Frazier and Gibson, large cattlemen,
brought 5000 cattle into Kansas during
a fever scare and was notified by com
mittee from thirteen sub-alliances to
move their herd. This they refused to
do and few days later Gibson was
mysteriously poisoned. Several weeks
later Frazier's body was found in a
pond of water near Sedan. Detectives
have been working on the case ever
since and their story of the conspiracy
is the sensation of the day.
