township, and the Defendant was
Thomas Patterson, taxpayer in
the same township. The suit was
brought to recover two years back
road taxes amounting to $40. The
defense was that Mr.. Patterson had
erected and maintained in good re-
pair public watering trough along
the township road, having pure clear
water running into the same. and
was easy of access, suitable for
watering horses and cattle. The
Defendant claimed that, under the
provisions of the Act of April 90,
1876, he was entitled to the annual
compensation of $5. for the use of the
trough and the failure of the town
ship to pay the sum for two years
squared the claim for taxes. Super
visor Weyant insisted that the
trough had been maintained without
his sanction and authority, and the
law made the matter wholly dis
cretionary with the Supervisors.
Judge Bell also took this view OF
the case and directed verdict in
favor of the Plaintiff. This is the
first reported case under the water
ing trough law and should serve for
future cases of this kind.

Is ANYBODY MISSING?
ssH. W. Sends Note Down the
River I'm a Whiskey Bottle.

ssH. NJ. Sends a Note Down the
River In u Whiskey Bottle.
There is either a suicide or q
joker some place up the river. There
is always deep interest and much
mystery in hottie found with a
note in it, and if there is anybody
missing let the river be dredged.
The other day Edward Arbogast of
Georgetown was rowing in the river
at that place, when he discovered a
tightly corked flask floating down
the stream. With the idea it might
contain message from some de-
parted spirits, he heaved to and
landed the bottle in his boat. 1t
was whiskey bottle and the spirits
had departed, but it contained note
written in pencil on a piece of pulp
paper little lighter in weight than
defunct wild cat life insurance
blotter. The paper was written on
both sides and the words are very
distinct. 1t was torn in twain, was
dirty and looked as if it had been
in water. On the upper left hand
corner are two hieroglyphics that
look like figures. Following are
the words:
"This the last words l have to Say
If some Friecd will go To Muncy and and
tell l. w. Watts that he has killed me
with his Licer to berry me. he will know
me. ii. Nj.
Mr.. Arbogast is of the opinion
the note may be connected in some
way with the mysterious death of
Issacher Houseknecht, whose body
was recently found in the river near
Watsontown. 1t will be remember
ed Houseknecht disappeared from
his home near Muncy during the
winter and his body was discovered
by some boys about four months
later. The supposition was that
Houseknecht had been foully deaf
with. The Lycomirg county au-
thorities thoroughly investigated
the case and came, to the conclu-
sion that lie was drunk and fell in
the river. Here is a chance for the
shrewd detective to work up sensa.

Mr.. Streby of the Dushore Gazette

Mr.. Streby of the Dushore Gazette
makes the statement that B. W.
Jennings the peoples candidate for
Member will leave the county some-
time in the future just as other
lumbermen have done. This is a
poor argument to place before the
voters. The Jennings Bros. are not
near so likely to leave the county as
Mr.. Streby is. They own one OF the
largest saw mills in the county.
They haye recently purchased a
large tract of land in the vicinity of
Lopez involving many thousands of
dollars. They have erected brick
dwellings. They pay oyer six hun
dled dollars tax. Every move of
the Jennings Bros. point to a long
and continual stay in Sullivan
county. In this respect they differ
materially from those of Sullivan
county lumbermen who have left the
county. Mr.. Streby can't fool the
people with this statement and he
ought to know it.
