WAR IN MIFFLIN COUNTY.

There was IA war in Miffiin cOun-
ty on a small scale, one day last
week. 1t was not caused by the
barbarOus treatment of Cubans,
or by the invasion of the island of
Cuba, but it was caused by an in
vasion of four legged animals on a
mans farm all of which is written
about by the LewistOwn Democrat
and Sentinel as fOllOwS.-JOhn +.
JOrdeD, of New Lancaster, is farm
ing without fences. Last week he
shut up three head of cattle and
five hogs for trespaSs, ami when
the owner came for his stock he
was asked to pay IS for damages.
Dean, the owner, made an attempt
to turn the cattle ont without pay
ing, when Jorden struck him with
il club. This caused a free fight,
in which JOrden had his shoulder
dislOcated and Dean was beaten
about the head with a club by the
wife and kicked in the face by her
little son, while both the combat
ants lay on the ground. The re-
suit might have proved more seri-
Gus had not James Gilbert inter
fered, who took away the club,
whereupOn the wife took an AK
which was also taken out of her
hands. She then took up "A stone
and threw it, and it is believed by
those present that the stone struck
her husband on the shoulder.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

After an illness of about four
months, Miss Ida Otella Guyer,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Guyer, of East Salem, departed
this life on Wednesday at 1 O'Clock
of April 20, 1898. Her disease
was indigestion and although she
suffered intense agony, she was
never known to complain, but in
her even and calm disposition,
awaited to be be called home,
where sickness and sorrow, pain
and death are felt and feared no
more. She was loving daughter
and sister, respected and loved by
all i'm the community in which she
lived. Miss Guyer will he greatly
missed and long remembered by
all whom she came in contact with,
and we commend her life to hel
many friends, Oh account of hel
amiable disposition, generous sym
pathy, loving heart, and noble
character. She was a great lover
of music, had been the Organist in
the L. B. Church for many years,
even until her health began to fail,
and as the writer has known Miss
Guyer for many years, been in her
society quite frequently, l cannot
help but ask my self, why is ii
that one so useful in her cOmmu-
nifty, loved so much by all her as
sociates should be taken away SO
young. Then the comforting words
come to us: The Lord knows best
which ones to take and in the
coming years We'll read the mean
ing of our tears, and then All
then we'll understand.
The funeral services were held
on Sunday at 10 O'Clock, ii. H., III
the U. B. Church, conducted by
Rev. Landis and Cramer. The
funeral was one of the largest evel
known in that vicinity, which
nranifests the high esteem in which
she was held.
We tender our heartfelt sympa
thv to the bereaved father, mother
sisters and brothers, in this thell
hour of SORROW, hoping that the
God of all good works will grant
them support and peace She wa'
% wears 3 months and 23 days old

excepting somebody's desire to make
political capital. The work the depart
