Attempted Murder.

A man named Chas. Haller, OF PUNK
sutawney, attempted to butcher his
wife with a hatchet at Dubois last
Wednesday. He came very nearly
being successful. The woman started
from Punxsutawney for Ohio on Tues
day, went to Falls Creek and returned
TO Dubois. Some person notified the
husband and Tuesday evening he went
to Dubois to look for his wife. whom he
had not implicitly confidence. After
the show at the opera house was over
Haller saw his wife come out with
another man and scene was enacted
then and there, but the woman stuck to
her new ''mash." The next day Haller
called on his wife and attacked her
with hatchet and then left her, as he
supposed, dead, and skipped out of town.
He was captured at Sabula Thursday
and is now in the Clearfield county Jail.
According to reports on both sides it is
"six of one and half dozen of the other"

Dangerous Practice.

Two Kittanning boys about twelve
years old, while playing in that town
one day last week, had little difficulty
and one struck the other. The boy
who was slapped said, "I'll fix you for
that" and drew a revolver and fired It,.
The ball struck the boy in the left
breast, passed through a lobe of the
lung and lodged deeply in the body.
The Kittanning Times says that many
boys in that town, ranging from twelve
to fifteen years of age, are in the habit
of carrying revolvers, and that it is not
an uncommon occurrence even in the
school room for one boy to display his
weapon to another. The parents Of
Kittanning, Reynoldsville or any other
town should see to it that their boys do
not carry revolvers, as such weapons
are dangerous even for men to handle.
II the Kittanning boy dies, which is
probable, the boy who deliberately shot
him will have his young life stained
with another boys blood. How will
the parents of the murderer feel? II you
have any doubt about your boy carry
ing revolver, search his pockets every
night TO be on the safe side.

County Auditors Settlement.
lPunxsutawney Spirlt.l

The county Auditors, j. b. JOrdon, c.
A. Morris and S. c. Ewing, completed
the work Of settling up the affairs OF the
county for 1893, last Wednesday. The
county is in debt about $4,000. The last
county treasurer redeemed about $15, 900
of county bonds. The cash in the coun-
ty treasury at present is very low.
There is 1900 due to the late Treas
urer and $l,1OO to Ex-Sheriff Young,
and the Treasurer is not in shape at
present to pay it. About $4,000 is due
the county from various townships for
the keeping of the insane. An error OF
5000 in the county's favor, which had
been made at previous settlement,
was discovered and corrected AS soon
as tax collectors get their money paid
in the treasury will be all right again,
but until that time it may be necessary
for Treasurer Waite to negotiate ~
small loan to tide us over present emer-
gencies.

An Old Settler.

Peter Cox, one Of the old settlers of
this section, died at four o'clock Thurs
day morning, Jan. 25th, 1894, aged 73
years, 3 months and l3 days. He was
born in Columbia county, Pa, October
10, 1920. He settled in Washington
township, jefferson county, in 1916, and
and in lSI0 located on the farm near
Sandy Valley, where he lived until
removed by death. Mr.. Cox cleared
and improved the farm himself. For
thirty years he was prominent lumber
man of the county. He was father of
fourteen children, nine boys and five
girls. His wife and five children pre-
ceded him through the veil of death to
try the realities of the Great Beyond.
Mr. Cox, who was a hard worker had
been ailing for more than year. A
few minutes before the old gentleman
died one of his sons, who was standing
at the bedside, felt his hand and said:
Father you are cold, put your hand
under the Clothes" but he said, mo,
my son, that is DEATH Mr.. Cox then
folded his hands across his breast and
his heart ceased its throbbings. The
funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon and his remains were buried
in the Epworth cemetery beside his
wife, who died so suddenly in the A. V.
station at this place over year ago.
The deceased was brother of John T.
Coax, near this place, and father of
VIM. 7. Cox, who owns grocery store
in Reynoldsville. Rev. Hicks conduct
ed the funeral services.

A Little Fire.

Last Thursday afternoon the girl that
works at Fred. Alexander's, in raising
one of the windows, pushed the lace
curtains into the blaze of a gas jet.
The curtains caught fire and would
have done destructive work had not the
fire been looked after Immediately. AS
it was, ten dollar rug, pair of lace
curtains, good carpet and number
of little trinkets on a bureau bad the
cash value knocked off them. The fire
alarm was given but the fire company's
services were not required. Fred.
Alexander lives on the second floor of
the Arnold block and The STAR Office

ed when we discovered the fire was In

other calamity, has tendency to in

Stop-of Privileges.

Railroad companies have some diff
Guilty in getting the travelling public to
understand what stop-off privileges
they are entitled to when they pur-
chase ticket. Some people seem to
think they can stop-off as often as they
want to. M. J. Farrell received a cir
cular from the general passenger agent
of the A. V. R'y few days ago, which
reads as follows: "Only one stop-off is
allowed on first-class unlimited ticket.
Conductors do not issue stop-off checks
when the rate between the point pas
senger wishes to stop and the desti-
nation of the ticket is less than twenty
five cents"
