He Was Handy With His Gun.

Last Sunday shortly after noon as
freight train No. "a fron Oil City
drew up to the station at this place
the crew in the caboose had quite an
exciting experience with an individ.
ual who was either a crook or crazy
One of the crew found q small satch-
ell filled with something heavy, which
is believed to have contained a set
of burglar tools, 10 a gondola car.
He had carried it into the caboose,
and as the remainder of the crew
were inspecting it, man came into
the car and demanded the satehel, at
the same whipping out revolver and
threatening to shoot the fuder full Of
holes. He didn't have to make the
second demand. The satchel was
handed to him. The man then jumped
off the caboOse and the crew began tn
recover from their astonishment. At
this juucture The report of a pistol
was heard, and bullet came crash
ing through a window in the car In
quick succession two more shots were
fred into the csboose, but none OF
them took effect on the bodies of any
Ct the crew, uuless in the way Of q
big scare. The engineer, who was moi
aware Of what was transpiriDg at the
rear of his train, pushed back to gel
II little slack in order to start for.
ward, which action the stranger evi'
IDENTIFY mistook for an attempt to cap
ture him, and he made haste to ge
away and was not long in getting oul
Of sight around the crrve.
This is all that is known Of tht
mysterious duck, and the surmise o
the train crew that he was crool
and afraid he was going to loose hi
tools is perhaps the correct theory.

Badly Injured.

The Marienville ErpresS gives the
following account of serious acci'
dent which happened near that place
last week: F. M. Crosier, the livery
man, was badly injured Tuesday eve'
hing by an upset and runoE. There
has been for some time good natur.
ed rivalry between Mr.. CrOsier and
Mr.. Hoover, also in the livery busi-
ness, as to the speed Of their horses.
Tuesday evening they were coming
from Tionesta and about ten o'clock
were in front of the residence of
James Cole, near this place. Mr..
Hoover was ahead and was driving a
two seated rig. Mr. Crosier was
driving a hack and made ali attempt
to pass the rig in front of him. In
trying to pass the rig in front, Cros'
ier drove to the side of the road and
a wheel struck some obstruction
throwing him and the three other oc'
cupants of the rig out. The team
was stopped by Mr.. Hoover. and on
investigation it was found that Mr.
Croser was laying beside the road in
an unconscious condition, while the
others who had been thrown out we're
practically uninjured. Mr.. Crosiel
was brought to his home and DR.
fowler, assisted by DR.. Stonecipher
dressed his injuries and as far as pos
sible made the necessary repairs. l
was found that both upper and lowe
! jaws were broken in TWO places, hi
nose broken, large cash cut in hi
neck under the jaw, and also bar
cut and bruise on the forehead. /
is remarkable that he could be 81
badly injured aud yet live, but it i
thought now that he will recover.

DON'T PUT IT OFF.

The necessity of a spring medl-
cine is universally admitted. This
is the best time of year in which to
purify the blood, to restore the lost
appetite, and to build up the entire
system, "a the body is now peculiar
ly susceptible to benefit from medi-
cine. The great popularity attain
ed by Hoods Sarsnparilla, owing
to its real merit and its remarka-
BILE success, has established it as the
very best medicine to take in the
spring. 1t cures scrofula, salt
rheum, and all humors, biIiousne SIS
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all af
fections cansed or promoted low by
state of the system or impure blood.
DON'T put it off, but take Hoods,
Sarsaparilia now. 1t will do You
good.

Peculiarities In Massage.

Light friction of part reduces sur
face temperature. In 10 experiments on
healthy adults, whose armpit tempera-
ture on both sides was equal, and whose
free surface temperature on the sur
face of both forearms was before mas
sage So degrees F. or more, it was
found, on subjecting the left forearm to
gentle upward friction, that while the
temperature in both armpits and in the
untouched free surface of the opposite
limb remained constant, the tempera-
ture of the left forearm fell in all cases
more than two degrees and in three
cases nearly four degrees.
After firm friction, rolling, squeezing
and kneading of the skin of the limb in
all cases, the free cutaneous tempera-
ture rose to 95 degrees, but the armpit
temperature remained the same on both
sides, while in seven cases an interest
ing phenomenon was noticed on the op-
posite side-viz, the right limb sensibly
perspired and the free surface tempera-
ture of the untouched forearm fell to 81
degrees during the time that the firm
friction of the left limb was in progress.
In regard to light friction it has been
impossible to detect any effect on the
patients sense of locality or on the tenn
perature sense. After firm friction of q
part for five minutes comes decided in
crease of the sense of touch, and the
sense of locality has in most instances
been apparently improved.-New York
Ledger.
