On Wednesday morning. july ;, William
\. Strayer, a resident of Altoona, who had
been working at Dunlo, was shot in tn"
back at the latter place by Christ II.
Block. a special officer Of Dale borough,
who. with w L. Cook, another officer of
Dale borough, had gone to Dunlo for the
purpose of arreStiug {. c. Blake and Will
liam a SIrayer for fast driving in Dale
borough on June 3Oth. Strayer was taken
To the Altoona hospital after he was shot
and died on Friday morning. AT the in
quest held in Altoona on Monday the fol-
lowing facts were developed about the
shooting:
On June Both Messrs. Strayer and Blake
drove into Dale borough and Special Ot1i-
Ger Black endeavercd to stop the team. but
Strayer whipped up the horse and they
got away. Dale'S chief Of police, learning
that Strayer worked at Dunlo. on July 3
sent Block and deputy named Bender
after the two men. When they reached a
point between South Fork and DunIo they
got out al store kept by John Miller and
asked whether the men had been seen. II
was here that the officers met knepper.
Duly and Wendell. The reply was that
they had not. Soon after. however. the
two men came down the street. The two
officers started fter them. Block remark
ing that he believed they were the
ones wanted. Strayer had seen the buggy
by this time and suspected who was in it.
He counseIled with Blake and finally both
started back the way they had come when
they saw the officers after them. They
then started on a run. when Officer Block
fired on them without giving them warn
ing. Strayer stopped, but his companion
continued on and finally escaped. Deputy
Bender had in the meanwhile taken charge
OF Strayer and took him back to the store.
He was asked if he had warrant aud he
rrplied that he had not. Block by this
time had also returned, and after some
conversation with Strayer, said he was
sorry he had shot him; that he only shot
to frighten them: that warrant was not
| necessary. and that they could both %
free Finally Block took Strayer - a
physician in South Fork. The witnesses
| all agreed that Block did not call on the
men To halt.
The coroner'S jury rendered the follow
| ing verdict:
| That the deceased came to his death 5y
! a bullet wound inflicted 10y a revolver III
| the hands of Christ Block.
On Monday afternoon Block appeared
! before Alderman Lehman in JohnStown
/ waived hearing and was committed tC
/ Jail He was brought up on Tuesday
morning.

The act for Cambria county was passed
the 26th of March. 1901. BY this act Cam
bria township was separated from siomer-
set and went into the county to which il
appears To have given its name.
One would suppose that the new county
was at once formed. but it does not alto
gether look 80 and our local historians are
somewhat worried To know a. To when the
new county to which Somerset Contributed
a portion of her territory was really
formed.
It is found that Cambria township is car
ried on the assessment record of Somerset
county as late as the year 1875; 1909 Is
missing and 1910 does not show ii any
longer Can it be possible that the new
county of Cambria was not formed for a
matter of four or five years after the act?
If formed Immediately after its passage,
why was Cambria township carried on our
assessment for so many years?
Can our Cambria county friends throw
any light on this? The time for their own
centennial is approaching and they may as
well look up and see how old they really
are Somerset Standard.

DO you know we are taking out teeth

Well, We are doing this very thing with
'Odontunder." the only local anR>thetic

only one that is used universally by den
lists who are up to date in their calling
The price for "Odontunder" when pain
less l. 80 cents, but if you experience the
least pain. we only charge you the usual
price. p cents.
How about those teeth that need filling?
Well, you say they don't ache. That's
Just the reason why you should have them
hlled now. After they have ached once
you will probably have to have the nerve
killed and the tooth treated if you are de-

for amalgum filings and from 81 90 up for

one right here because prOcraStination
means to the patient loss of sleep neural
gia, ear ache. tooth ache and goodness
knows what else. We know of Il good
many young ladies of our acquaintance
who would have been married long ago il
IL hadn-: been for those horrid- looking

tooth powder and full instructions for the
care OF the teeth. On the 18th of each

You say why ON the l3th. Well. now
that's my business. All you have to do i
To come. Remember | won't take out your

for the people here pride themselves upon
possessing the largest collection of fine
roses to be seen anywhere in the State.
The merchants and business men are not
losing sight of the decoration. The fronts

manner far more elaborate than ever be-
fore. The work of bedecking the theater is
under the direction of Mrs. Wiley, while
the flower show is supervised by Miss

WILL BRING A TEST CASE.
Constables and Justices Decide to
Attack the New County
Fee Bill.

SAN JOSE. CAL, May 4.-The rose fair
has been a success, and the ladies of the
Santa Clara County Floral Society are the
recipients of many compliments for the
manner in which it was conducted. AL
though the weather has been rather stormy
the attendance at all times was large, but
that OF this evening exceeded any previous
day. Many additions had been made to
the exhibits, and the display of cut flowers
was larger and more magnificent than ever
before exhibited in the Santa Clara Valley.
The march of roses each evening proved
an attractive feature, and the beautiful cos
tunes of those participating and the
crowning of Queen Flora have brought
forth many pretty compliments.
This afternoons special matinee was de-
voted principally to the children. The
hall was darkened, and pretty effects were
brought out by the electric lights. The
march of roses, led by the queen, was par
ticipated in by the children only. Vocal
solos were rendered by Massi Hunkins and
Genevieve Collier, and tableau, Opening
of the Rose" closed the performance.
The Delta Iota Chi, the young ladies'
soc iety of the High School, had charge of
the programme tonight. The young
ladies proved themselves pleasant enter
tainers. The tableaux, "Oracle of the
Hand" eyes or No." Summer" ODE
tected" and "Hearts Win" were given.
The Misses Perrin and Waterman rem
dered a piano duet, and Miss Perrin and
Mr.. Ish appeared in a duo for violin and
piano. E. Chase gave a solo on a French
horn and a numbe bV the Beethoven
String Quartet closed the programme.
The march of the roses this evening was
by far the finest procession of the fete.
After the march the guests focked to the
dancing hall, and in the may waltz and
stately minuet made merry at the closing
of San Jose's successful fete.
