people of Reynoldsville, through the

take donations for the soldiers to the
G. A. II. hall last Friday evening, and
the Corps would ship the articles to

Arrested for False Pretense.

S. Loeawenthal, a picture agent, was
so anxious to sell picture to Mrs. w.
II. Fergus at Hopkins mill one day last
week that he overstepped the law in
such transactions and had to pay fine
and costs. The agent told Mrs. Fergus
that her husband admired picture he
was selling and had sent him to the
house to deliver picture and get the
money for it. Mrs. Fergus bought the
picture and when her husband came
home and learned what had been done,
he was justly indignant at the imposi-
tion of the picture agent, and did the
proper thing by having a warrant issued
and had the chap arrested for false
pretense. The agent was glad enough
to pay five dollars and costs to get
the matter settled.
