 That the gun club Is the instigator of a just at present Is a undeniable fact, if the testimony of fond parents and loving Sun day-school teachers Is to be credited. About every boy in town has been cast ing out hints more or lees broad, ever since clay pigeons commenced to soar heavep ward from Parkess' hill, that he wanted a gun for Christmas. It is be- IIeved If Santa Claus were to take cogni- zance of the belligerent aspirations of the youth of Stafford the Springfield Arsenal would be none too large for the bases of supplies.
 Mrs. Kate Frawley was before the bor. ough court Monday afternoon, charged with breach of peace and assault on George A. Mills. Mills alleges that Mrs. Frawley threatened to shoot him with a revolver. The trouble originated over a claim that Mills had against Mrs. Fraw- ley for labor. He thought he had $2 coming, but Mrs. Frawley did not sec 1t that way. Judge Chandler made it $2 and costs, amounting in all to $13. GA. af- ter the evidence was all in, and the de- fendant paid. MT. and Mrs. FIawley moved to the Crow Hill district several years ago from Bridgeport, and there has been much trouble since then in the neIghborhood. One of the first cases was over 25 acres of sprout land which one oi the neighbors put 6 fence around and claimed This was finally decided in court to be a part of the Frawley estate. Since then the Frawleys have had much trouble. The husband was a bed-ridden invalid for years previous to his death which occurred a short time ago. Previ ous to Mir. Frawley's death the house ano barn on the place were burned. It was thought at the time that the fire was in. cendiary. The Frawleys have suffered In other ways, and while there is probably blame on both sIdes, there are many who think they have had rather more thar their share of misfortune.
