WHAT Is NEEDED.

Centralia is badly in need of effici-
ent police officers. The laws are
openly violated and no ones life is
safe, When the authorities offer only
a reward of $50 for the arrest of a
man who attempted to commit a will
full murder, they cannot expect effici-
ent service. No one is willing to take
his life in his hands in attempting to
arrest such a character for so paltry
an amount. The following taken
from the Mt. Carmel Item explains
the situation.
"Centralia is badly in need of
police protection. The lawnessness
has grown to such an extent as to
seriously interfere with business and
social life. Women are insulted upon
the streets and property and business
also suffer. To illustrate the extent
to which the deeds of the evil doers
are being carried, on Wednesday
evening some persons tore up every
plant and root in the yard at the home
of George Troutman, the president of
council, and also in the yard of Mrs.
Herbert Harris. 1t was undoubtedly
done IN defiance of the authorities.
Something will have to be done at
once on the authorities of Centralia
borough will find the town in control
of most dangerous mob. Council
should act at once and appoint at
least two paid police to do duty during
midnight hours. The disturbers could
be hunted down and riot and blood
shed discouraged. A plain stone build
ing for a lookup would not cost much
and should be erected so as to place
prisoners safely away"

DEATH OF PROF. FERR 3E.

Prof ]. w. Ferree died very sudden
ly at his home in New Paynesville,
Mimi, on Friday, May Sth. The
funeral services were held Monday
May II in the NJ. +. Church and
were very largely attended.
Prof Ferree was born at Salona,
Pa. Feb. 2, 1914. He taught several
years in the schools Of Clinton County

Allegheny College from which institu.
ton he received the degree of A. M.
He was connected with the William
sport Seminary about fifteen years
and there was associated with Thomas
Bowman now bishop in the M. E.
Church. From 1868 to 1883 he was
a professor in our Normal School and
perhaps no teacher of the school was
more widely known and respected.
In IS43 he was married to Frances
Herr who died in 1855. On May 9th
1860 he married Diana J. Elliott who,
with their three sons, survive him.
Prof. Ferree's life was one unbroken
chain of activity and usefulness. He
manifested deep concern in religion
and was Jealous, consistent chris
tian. For many years he was the
Superintendent Of the Primary Dept.
OF the M. f. Sunday School of Blooms
burg.
The Faculty of the Normal School
at their meeting on Tuesday evening
took action as follows:
"We have heard with sorrow of the
sudden death of Prof J, w. Feree,
at New Paynesville, MINI. Prof.
Ferree was tor twenty years a men,
Der of this faculty occupying success
sively the chairs of Higher Mathe-
mates and of Natural Science. He
was a man of more than ordinary
mental ability, and of broad culture
his christian character stood out pre-,
eminently.
He was respected and honored by
the thousands of students who came
under his instruction, and by the
teachers associated with him.
We desire to make this minute as a
mark of respect to his memory"

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Isaiah Oil, an employee of the
Brass and Copper Company met with
a painful, and which may be serious
injury last Saturday. He was leaning
over pipe investigating leak, when
a piece of rubber which was used as
a stopper, (under a pressure of 800
pounds to the square inch) flew out
striking him in one of his eyes, and
about the same time some packing
struck him in the other eye. The force
was SO great as to knock him over
cutting his eyes very badly.

w. S. HEPNER SHOT
By Michael Kerrigan at Oentralia.
The WOUND MAY PROVE FATAL.
Doctor Gwinner Assisted by Doctor Con.
nors, Removes the BalI.-Mr. Hcpner
Although Weak From the Loss Of Blood
Bravely Attempts 10 Defend Himself. 49,
Kcrrigan is Still at Large.

While Landlord Hepner of Contra
LA, was in his barroom at noon last
Thursday, Michael Kerrigan alias the
Cowboy, made his appearance and
demanded drink, Mr.. Hepner know
ing the mans reputation informed
him that he would not be accommo.
dated. This angered Kerrigan, and
he Immediately pulled a revolver,
firing one shot in the floor and two at
Hepner the last taking effect.
Kerrigan then walked out. Hepner
although weak from the loss of blood
managed to get his revolver which
was back Of the bar and crawled on
his hands and knees to the door, and
fired one shot at Kerrigan, and then
fell over from exhaustion. The shoot
ing occasioned much excitement and
many people hurried to the scene.
Shortly after the shooting, DR..
Gwinner arrived and found Mr.. Hep
ner in the bar-room sitting in chair
with his hands over the wound. The
doctor Immediately ordered his re-
moval to the parlor and placed on a
lounge. After a little probing, the
bullet was located at the back bone
and removed. The bullet struck the
seventh rib on the right side, which
1t followed to the back bone.
The wound was dressed anticepti-
cally, and The patient removed to bed.
Although he is very weak from the
shock and the loss of blood, Doctor
Gwinner has strong hopes of recovery
unless something unforeseen occurs.
Mr. Hepner since his sojourn in Cen
tralia has made himself popular with
law abiding people by endeavoring
to keep his place free of all loafers
and toughs He will be thirty-nine
years old next September.
After the shooting, Kerrigan walk
ed coolly about the town and no at
tempt was made to arrest him-for
what reason no one seemed to know.
This is not the first difficulty that
Kerrigan has been in. For some
years, he lived out West, where he
followed the vocation of cowboy.
Since his return home, he has often
exhibited disposition to be quarrel
some. Not long since he attempted
to shoot Landlord Kroh who pre-
ceded Mr.. Hepner, because he was
refused drink.
He was arrested but the case was
settled by Kerrigan paying the costs
A short while ago he attacked the bar
tender atthe same hotel, with billy,
and cleared the room in true cowboy
style. The bar tender was SO badly
injured that he was confined to the
hospital for three months. The case
like the preceding one was settled
by his paying the costs. Kerrigan
is still at large and the Town Council
has offered a reward of $50, for his
arrest.

Schrader after spending ten days
at Galveston at his trade, blessing
handkerchiefs, left that city for
San Antonio, where he will open up
business at the park at that place,
and will remain as long as the peo-

reporter, that he would stay in Tex

into fasting, after which he would
travel the world over, having re-
ceived invitations from every prin-

whole world to visit them.

it does not effect miracles. But it
does give prompt and unspeakabIe
