Barn Burned-Horse Cremated.

About $50 yesterday morning the
barn of Squire John Il. Coax. who lives
at Valley Home, near this place, was
destroyed by fire. Origin of fire un-
known. When it was first discovered
the whole barn was wrapped in flames
and Squire was unable to save anything
from the fire fend. The loss amounts
to something like $4,000, without any
insurance. Quite heavy loss to the
Squire in his declining years, and yet
he feels worse about losing his family
horse, which was burned to death In
the barn, than all the balance of the
loss. The barn contained two buggies,
valuable gray horse, sleigh, twin sleds,
six ton of hay, 75 bushels OF corn ears,
lot of sheuf oats, two sets double har.
ness, and 5000 hemlOck shingles.

Sandbagged Saturday Night.

John A. Hopkins, who lives near the
tannery, was sandbagged while on his
way home Saturday night. Mr.. Hop
kins started up the A. V. railroad
track and when near the freight house
he saw man standing beside box
car, but thought nothing over 1t, and
just as he passed him he WAS hit on the
back OF the head with what he thinks
was a sandbag. The blow knocked
him down with his face on the track
and he received an ugly cut near the
left eye. The waylayers, for there
were two by that time, began searching
Mr.. Hopkins when some one ran up the
station platform and stopped at the
telegraph Office, which frightened the
highwaymen away They ran up the
track. Mr.. Hopkins did not proceed
homo that way, but returned and
walked up the sidewalk. Mr.. Hopkins
thinks the parties knew he was going
to Chattanooga to-day and they thought
he would be paid of Saturday night
and had his money with him.

A False Statement.

The members of the Indian football
eleven that played ut Reynoldsville Sat
urday afternoon desire II stated that
they went there to play the high school
team. instead they found they were up
against combination of big fellows
with but two scholars In II. and it was
to all intents the Reynoldsville regular
team. They are not kicking over the
result, but prefer to conilne their games
to teams somewhere near their own
weight. The star players were Me-
Donald for Reynoldsville and Smith for
the Indians. The Indians lost by 20 to
2.-DuBois Courier.
The above is false statement. The
combination that played and so badly
defeated the Dubois team was the
regular high school team. with the
exception Of two players. Our boys
put up good game and now some one
wants an excuse for the defeat, and
hence the false statement appearing in
the CO,iljer

fore Judge Reed on Monday forenoon

Preparing to Break Out Of Jail.

Last Saturday morning Sheriff Burns
heard suspicious noise in the Jail and
he quietly went on to the roof of the
jail and looking down through the sky
light saw Joseph Shirley, prisoner,
sitting on chair on the second floor of
the cage saving at one of the bars.
The sheriff crawled down as quietly as
he had ascended and went to the com
missioner's Office where he found Com
missioner Hinderliter and took him on
to the roof to show him what was going
on. The sheriff shot through the sky
light just near enough to Shirey to
frighten him and at the same time to
let him know he had been caught In
the act OF preparing the way for escape.
Another prisoner named Tilden Deem
er was assisting Shirey in his tedious
task Of cutting the iron bars with case
knife. Two iron bars were almost cut
off when the discovery was made. The
work would haye been completed Sat
urday and likely the Jail delivery would
have been made Saturday night.
Shirey gave up his kit OF tools, two case
knives and II small piece of steel, which
he hid in the water closet while Sheriff
Burns was getting from the roof into
the Jail. Shirey and Deemer we're
