The luscious huckleberry is now ripe as
many housekeepers in town know from the
frequent trips they are called to make to
the front door to respond to the ring of the
youthful pickers trying to dispose of their
wares. Many pennies are earned in this way
but in Hazleton and its vicinity it is an in
dustry that brings in many dollars in a
season. At AIahanoy City also great quanti-
ties of the berries are picked and shipped to
market but for some reason or other no great
quantities are picked for shipment in town
This is little surprising too, as the idle days
at the collieries leaves many men and boys
with three idle days time each week, the
same as in the Hazletou region, where whole
families go to the hills when collieries are
idle and the shipments amount to car loads
at time. The shipments from town are
light and have never amounted to much
although dealers have tried to boom the
trade. Womer, the green grocer, has made a
few shipmentsso far but finds it difficult to
get pickers and does not anticipate any heavy
shipments.

Exciting Horse Race.

Among the many horsemen who were
visitors to Neiswenters livery stable yester-
day, was Raymond Eichler, of Rohrersburg,
Columbia county, who came to purchase
horses. Raymond has some reputation of be-
ing daring bareback rider, and made a bet
with VIM. Neiswenter, that they both mount
one Of their horses and race to Ringtown, the
man reaching the destination first was to
win the others horse. Mr.. Neiswenter con-
sented and the bet was taken up. After get
ting the horses down to racing trim, time was
called and both riders mounted their steed.
Eichler, who was very anxious for a favorable
lead on his competitor, whipped up his horse,
who started on a terrific gait out Coal street.
When the horse turned the corner of Main
street. he stumbled and fell throwing the
rider headlong into the muddy street. He
was picked up unhurt. The race was wit
messed by fully one hundred people. In con-
sequence of the mishap it was declared off

Among the arrivals at the P. g. R. depot on
Saturday, June 18th, was a Polish woman
named Mary Williams, who came to this
country to meet her husband and who resides
in town. She carried an address, which she
handed to William Yetkois apd an accom-
plice, who volunteered to escort her there.
In company with the two men they went to
NOokewicz's saloon where they remained
short time. Here it is supposed plan was
agreed upon to assault the woman. Instead
of taking the woman to the address men
toned, they induced her to accompany them
down the p. & K. railroad. After they had
reached the trestle at the Shenandoah City
colliery the men knocked her down and
held her at bay with revolver. But the
woman became so much frightened that she
called for help, and the perpetrators of the
proposed crime were scared away. The lady
was finally picked up by policeman who
took her to hotel for the night, where she
was met the next day by her husband. Last
evening Yetkois was arrested by Constable
Giblon and taken before Justice Toomey,
where he waived hearing and entered bail
in the sum of $500 for appearance at court

obtained through fraud and Bolich was held

He KILLED the rated Calf.

Whitehall Zephyr: We have heard of
people stealing their own shirts and
holding out on themselves, while in a
befuddled state of mind, but in that
line, Yves Gilkey takes the bakery. 1t
seems that one day this week, while
riding the range, Yves, who has always
an eye for business, allowed his mild
blue orbs to dwell upon the we'll
rounded lines Of nice fat slick-ear,
until a yearning for fatted calf took
possession of his frame. He being of
a rather yielding disposition gave way
to temptation, and drawing his six
shooter he soon sent the soul of the
unfortunate maverick to the land from
which no well regulated calf has ever
been known to return. He was knock
ed clear off the Christmas tree, how
ever, on the following morning to OBJ
serve a maternal old bossy, bearing
his own brand, believing and cutting
PUP all manner of antics over the
bloody skin of the defunct slick-ear.
while the swollen condition of her milk
fountain suggested tale of woe to the
stuffed and bloated stock accumulation.
