DEAD IN EACH OTHERS ARMS.
Boys Found Under the Water with
Arms Clasped.

College Corner, o., July 26.-Yesterday
afternoon Henry Killough, aged IL years,
and Morris Cunningham, aged years,
son of William Cunningham, took their
buckets and went blackberry hunting
on the T. NJ. Wilson farm, south OF
town. The boys did not return home for
supper, and as a terrific storm was APP
preaching, the parents became uneasy
and the search began.
BY 10 o'clock scores of people armed
with lanterns were securing the sur
rounding woods and fields, shouting the
boys names and searching in every Sc
cluded nook and corner Mrs. Louis Wolf
who lives near the scene of the drown
ing, told the searching party that about
o'clock that afternoon she saw two
boys answering to the description going
in the direction of Wilson's run and
heard them talking about going swim
ming.
In the race that followed Mr.. Cunning
ham, one of the anxious fathers, reached
the swimming hole first and seeing the
boys clothes and berry buckets on the
creek bank waded in and found the dead
boys at the bottom of the hole clasped In
each others arms. A call was sent back
to town for a wagon to convey the bodies
home. The parents are nearly prostrated
with grief and Mrs. Killough is in q
critical condition.

DURYEA DEPOT ROBBED.
Several Packages and Numerous
Tickets Taken by the burglars,

The d. L. & w. depot at Duryea was
broken into on Saturday night or Sun
day morning. The fact of the burglary
was discovered early Sunday morning
by Watchman Thomas Sunley at the
Hallstead mine, who has charge of the
depot during the night.
Arthur Wilson, the ticket agent, left
the depot about o'clock Saturday
evening, and he was away from home
yesterday. owing to his absence it
could not be learned what had been
taken, though it was evident that sew
eral packages in the ticket Office had
been disturbed. The ticket case had
been broken open, and the stamps ap-
peared to have been in use making the
tickets present a saleable appearance.
The burglars effected an entrance to the
main office by means of a window. The
extent of the loss has not yet been
ascertalned.
1t is thought that the job was done
by the same parties who broke into
Woods drug store at Lackawanna last
Thursday night and stole quantity
vt cigars.

DARING HORSEMEN.
A Great Exhibition Will Be Seen
Here on Friday.

In looking forward to the visit here
on Friday Of Buffalo Bills Wild West
show one is apt to not fully appreciate
the fact that there will be seen not
only Cowboy and Indian riders, but
wonderful horsemen from all corners
of the globL People have Travelled
and seen horsemanship the world over
but never before has it been possible
to see all these riding wonders at one
time and place.
The cavorting cowboys from the
plains, the untamed Cossacks from the
dominions of the Car, the fierce sons
of the, desert from Arabia, the pic
turesque Vaqueros from the land of
the Aztecs, and cavalrymen galore
from the four corners of the earth, are
all gathered together to delight every
one with their amazing feats of ability
and strength, with their keenness of
eye and lightness of hand and foot, and
with their astounding and unparalleled
feats of horsemanship. There will be
1,200 men and 900 horses in the COM
pany. They have in the troupe the
toughest riders that have ever been
seen in the saddle, gathered together
from every corner of the earth.
1t is the sight Of lifetime to see the
lands of Indians, Cowboys, Cavalry
men, Vaqueros, Gauchos and Cossac<s
riding here and there on their chargers,
turning, wheeling, saluting and ever
and anon galloping off again at full
speed and giving vent to their charac-
teristic yells and whoops. AS they are
dressed in their own styles, they pre-
sent a moving mass of color which is
irresistibly fascinating. There is moth
ing about the performance which sug-
gests the theater or the circus. 1t
moves the hearts of the people chiefly
by reason of its extreme naturalness.
The scenes are absolutely true to life.
This is one secret of its success hither-
to, and a reason why they are assured
an ever-increasing popularity.

BOY FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
Lying with a Confused Wound on the
Head on a Country Road-..lt's
Mystery.

While Thos MCGOWAN was returning
with his team from Chinchilla yester-
day afternoon he came upon the uncon-
sciuos form of lad lying midway in
the road. Investigation revealed the
fact that the boy was seriously hurt.
He was tenderly lifted into McGowan's
vehicle and taken at top speed to
Providence, where the lad was delivered
to Patrolman Thomas Watkins.
The patrolman took him to DR.. Bow
er's office. He was still in an uncon-
scious state. An examination revealed
a had confusion on the side of the
head, which was diagnosed as a COM
pound fracture of the skull. After much
hard work the boy was restored to par
tial consciousness, and long enough to
say his name was George Brown, son
of Matthew Brown, of Deacon street.
CONDITION SERIOUS.
He was then conveyed to his home,
and since then efforts to gain any light
as to how the accident occurred have
been unavailing. The boys condition
is serious.
George Lowry, with whom the Brown
boy made the trip to Chinchilla, was un-
able to account for the latter's strange
condition. When last seen by Mr.
Lowry he was going in the direction OF
a spring to secure a drink. There all
trace was lost of him until brought to
his home in the above condition.
Whether the boy is the victim of an
assault at the hands of a tramp OF
whether injured while attempting tc
mount a wagon is a question which
only himself can solve.
His condition late last evening was
such as to give the attending physician
and his family occasion for much
alarm.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
"And a Lille Child Shall Lead Them"

An old soldier was at the Maine Central
station in this city, yesterday morning,
for the purpose of taking the train to a
distant city to be examined by the regu-
lar board of medical examiners. The vet
eran was very olu and 1t was with diff
Guilty that he managed to get along the
platform. When the train came in it was
a few minutes late and SO the conductor
sung out all aboard just as soon as the
train stopped. There were number of
passengers to alight and they completely
filled the space between the train and the
station building. The old war veteran,
nearly blind, could not seem to make his
way to the car, being jostled almost
cruelty and pushed back to the building.
There was a small boy on earth just at
that minute, you may have seen the lit
tie fellow there every day, and he real
lid that the old man would get left If
some one did not assist him. The boy is
one of those incorrigible youngsters that
you think had better be at home the mo-
ment you heave in sight of them. He is a
veritable little street dodger and one that
you would not think, would think quick
enough to do an act of kindness toward
an old man. But this youngster grew to
be man in the next minute. He pushed
his way to the old man, just as some men
will crowd their way through their bet
tiers, and Selling the trembling hand OF
the veteran, said: Come on, uncle, III
take you on That boy made mole
through that crowd much as runaway
horse might have done and in a moment
he had the old man at the car steps ana
was "boostin' i'm on" The boy watched
the old man until the entered the car and
then t3rned around to kick the stiff leg
of a gamin who was leaning against one
of the supports of the awning and then To
scud down the alley as fast as ever ne
could go with the other boy after him.
That boy will make his way in the
world or break something.
