MET A PANTHER.
One of Mains Wild Beasts Attacked a
Mail Carrier Near Mt. Carmel.

One of Mains Wild Beasts Attacked a
Mail Carrier Near Mt. Carmel.
A panther, supposed to be the one
that escaped from Walter Mains wreck
ed circus near Tyrone, attacked Frank
Buck, mail carrier, near Mt. Carmel,
on Thursday. In the encounter that
followed the panther was shot several
times and the mail carrier was badly
used up. Buck has the contract for
delivering the Patterson mail at Mt.
Carmel, no mail car reaching the former
place.
The route lies through wild, noun
famous country. Shortly after daybreak
Buck was going past sharp rise in the
road when huge panther confronted
him in the highway. The mail carrier
was in wagon, but did not attempt to
make it contest between the speed of
his horse and the mountain cat. He
stopped, drew revolver from his pocket
and awaited the next movement of his
foe. At that moment two dogs, evident
ly in pursuit of the panther, approach
ed. The beast crept toward Buck. When
he raised his revolver the dogs began to
bark, and the panther's attention was
diverted. The young man fired three
times, none of the bullets taking effect.
The dogs, after reaching the mail car
rier, stopped. Then the panther rushed
forward, and when FIVE feet away he
prepared to leap. Buck fired again, the
bullet lodging in the beasts breast.
Again the revolver cracked, and this
time the ball pierced the panther's left
eye. With cry Of rage and pain the
monster sprang into the wagon. Buck
and the dogs attacked it, using the butt
end of his weapon with good effect.
The struggle was SO fierce that the
mail carrier knew his danger was great.
His pistol was empty. The repeated
blows upon the panther's bleeding head
made it turn, and leap from the wagon.
1t SUNK away through the bushes. The
dogs were afraid to follow it, and Buck,
glad to be free, drove rapidly to Patter-
son and told of his encounter. Half a
dozen men at once started for the scene
of the conflict. They secured the woods
for mile, but found no panther.
Many think the panther, after the cir
Gus wreck at Tyrone, jumped into an
open box car standing near A freight
train from that place reached Mt Car
mel early that morning, and the beast
is supposed to have ridden all the way.
Being used to travelling ON cars, it would
be quite natural for it to seek such
shelter. 1t is about 100 miles from
Tyrone to the place where Buck had his
thrilling combat.

A Warning to Girls,

If there are any young ladies who
have received fattering offers of posi-
tions in the Worlds fair city, we advise
them to read the following clipping from
the Cleveland Leader carefully before
accepting a situation from any unknown
source:
From many reliable sources come
grave warnings to girls and young
women who contemplate going to Chicago
this summer to secure employment and
thus get chance to see the fair and
make some money besides. Scores of
the advertisements which are inserted
in many country newspapers for help,
promising light, pleasant employment to
young women and girls, are the lures of
the procurer and will doubtless drag
many innocent young persons into dens
of vice and iniquity.
at is true there is an abnormal demand
for help in Chicago this summer, but the
young woman who answers an advertise
ment and goes to the city without hay
ing proof of the character of her en-
ployer is very apt to step into pitfall.
Every paper in the country should has
ten to publish warning. 1t is part OF
the duty of the public press to protect as
far as possible the honest, well-meaning
working girls of their communities, and
to put them on their guard against such
fate"

The Potts colliery at Locust Dale is

Official orders were received to drown
out the workings to the water level and
five streams are pouring into the open

one month to fill the place up. The
theory that the fire discovered in the
bottom lift several weeks ago was new
one has been dispelled.
This lift was allowed to fill with water
in the hope that the fire would be ex-
tinguished, but when the water was
pumped out last week and an examina.

Orders. were then issued to suspend in.

The idea is advanced by one of the
officials that the only way to get at the
fire and make permanent job will be
to strip the surface above the burning
vein and attack it from the openings.

the holding of certificate consti-
tutes membership, returning boards
can elect legislature in defiance of
the will of the people and it is al
SO clear that the holder of a certifi-
cate whose election is challenged
ought not to sit as a member until
the matter in doubt is settled by the
members about whose election there
is no doubt and in all this, neither
the supreme CO .rt, nor any other
court but the house, has any juris-
diction.
AS to the comment of the Free
Press upon the AGITAToR's item
charging anarchy upon the Douglass
house for breaking down the hall
doors, we have to say that the
Douglass members were not eXclud-
ed from the hail. 1t was only the
clerks and attendants, and when the
Republican members seized the hall
and retained forcible possession,
swearing in as sergeants alarms a
large body of men, and in defiance
of the Governor, whose authority
as Governor is not questioned, they
did so in violation of law and order,
and the action breathes the spirit of
anarchy.

FREE PRESS COMMENT.

The Free Press, Colony, comment
ing on an item or two that appeared
in the AGIrAroR, clearly fails to
grasp the situation. 1t says of the
supreme court decision, in the
Gum case: "The question before
the court was not who are mem
bers, but, is this the houseY True,
but either house was or was not
composed of legal members, and
the whole matter hinged upon which
house had majority of legally
elected members. Now, it will be
admitted that true membership, un-
der.the constitution and laws, rest
ed upon the legally cast votes on
the day of election, not upon GER
tificates of election. Or, in other
words, certificates of election do
not constitute election. No one is
elected who does not receive a ma
iority of legally-cast votes, and ties
are settled by lot. Now, the Re-
publicans had majority of certified
members, but the Populists claimed
that a number we're not elected
according to the legally cast votes,
or were ineligible, and the issues
were joined upon which party had
majority Of true members, and
this question of who were legally
chosen by the voters could only be
settled, under the constitution, by
the house. The house failed TO set
tie this all-important question, and
the Gum case was purposely made
up to enable the supreme court to
pass upon that one underlying ques-
ton, of whether or not certificates
of membership constitute true
membership. 1t is clear that, ii
