work This Mr.. Riggs, the defen-
dant in this case was taking
charge Of his own property. He
had told his herder, as the evidence
shows, to drive the sheep, his prop

to interfere with any properyt be-
longing to this deceased or to the
complaining witness in this case.
The complaining witness in this
case, as his evidence shows, and
taking his own evidence to show it,
sat on his horse to watch for this,

"A bitch" they would fill full of
holes. To watch for him for what?
To make him remove his property
and himself from that part of the
country, who was on the govern
ment land of the United States, to
which they had no more right than
this man. And for what reason?
Because they needed it for their
own purpose.
He had told his herder to take
the sheep up there, and l will be
there to protect my herder and my
property, and went up with another
hired man to do work, and to fix
up his fence, and this complaining
witness sat on his horse and watch
ed for them. Then did they go in
a paaanrA manner, and talk as a

Keep the peace? On the contrary
he could not wait, and went to
where his brother was hauling ma
nure, and they were in such haste
to go and drive away this man

did not even unharness the horse

Highly Esteemed.

Brief mention was made in THE STAR
last week of the death OF Miss Mary
Mcpherson, Of Rathmel, who died sud-
denly Sunday night, July 9th, at the
home OF her brother, William McPher-
son, at Crenshaw, with whom she was
visiting. The silken thread of life was
broken suddenly by an attack of neural
gia of the heart. The news Of her death
was great surprise and shock to her
numerous friends in Rathmel, as she
had left her home few days previous
with good prospects OF long life. The
mortal remains OF Miss Mary were
brought to the home of the bereaved
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan McPher-
son, at Rathmel Monday and on Tues
day afternoon funeral services were
held in the Rathmel M. r. church con-
Quoted by Rev. d. A. Platt, M. f. pas
tor OF Brockwayville. The deceased
was young lady with "a sweet disposi-
tion and was an active member of the
Y. p. S. G. f.. and Sons OF Temperance,
consequently the funeral was very
large one, both societies attending, be-
sides host OF friends. Interment was
made in Prospect cemetery. The Y. p.
S. G. +. had resolutions OF respect
printed on cards which were given to
the members of the society.
The. floral tribute was beautiful, con-
sisting Of an anchor from the Sons of

Saturday Mrs. Susan Pap, of Eleanora
left this place on the noon train for the
east, and some time after the train had
gone some parties from Eleanora were
in town looking for Mrs. Pap, whom
they said had stolen money from them.
A warrant was issued for the woman
and Constable Adelsperger telegraphed
to the chief-of-police at Remove to ar
rest her when the train arrived there.
She was arrested and on Monday Mr..
Adelsperger went to Remove and
brought the Hungarian female back
to this place Monday evening and the
matter was settled. The woman was
not as bad as the circumstances would
indicate. She had not really stolen any
money at all, although she was accused
OF IL.

cURwENsvrLLE ouTcLAssED.
Reynoldsvilie Acceded to Their Jnfair
Demands, but Beat Them by Mile.

II Is generally considered, although
not always the case, that newspaper
will give the home team the benefit Of
all doubts and be somewhat partial in
reporting game Of ball. therefore, we
clip from the Dubois Courier Of Satur-
day morning report Of the game be-
tween the Reynoldsville and Curwens-
vile ball clubs that was played at Du-
Bois Friday afternoon:
1.-THE Curwensville baseball club,
which were not satisfied with the de-
feat they met at Reynoldsville on the
day Of the Royal Arcanum picnic at the
latter place, and thought game on
neutral grounds would enable them TO
even up with Reynoldsville, got a
thorough drubbing on the Dubois
grounds yesterday afternoon.
Through some points of the article
OF agreement, both managers claiming
the other was violating it, the forfeit
money posted last week was drawn and
the game was played for the gate re-
ceipts, which were no small item as
there were fully 1000 people on the
ground, Reynoldsville and Curwens-
vile people making up good portion
OF the crowd
1.-THE game was advertised to be
called at 2.30, but IL took the manage
ment OF the teams until almost three
o'clock to agree to play, then there was
another hitch, half dozen or so OF the
Curwensville players playing the baby
act in fine style by refusing to play un-
less Catcher Hutchison was allowed to
play with them. Manager O'Hare, of
the Reynoldsville team, again made a
good fellow Of himself by acceding to
Curwensville's unfair demands, and af-
ter wait that brought out much dis
approval from the large crowd, the
game was finally started at few min
utes after o'clock.
"There is not great deal to mention
in connection with the playing OF the
game: Reynoldsville had their oppon-
ents beaten from the very start. A
number OF misplays helped their score
along and they were able to hit Bow
den's pitching at times when hits
counted.
'The game was called at the end OF
the seventh inning, the Curwensville
people had enough and wanted to catch
the first train for home, which left at
5.15, and the most of them caught it,"
The score was 1876 in favor OF Reyn-
oldsvile.

Lost His Right Foot.

John Allen, Of East Brady, brake
man on the A. " R'y, met with an ac-
cident near Pancoast last Wednesday
evening which resulted in the loss OF
his right foot and badly bruised body.
The young man fell off his train while
it was running fifteen miles an hour.
He was walking over the train-from
caboose to engine-and in crossing car
OF lumber he stepped on board that
extended out over the lumber on the
car and the board broke, precipitating
him between the cars. How he escaped
being ground to pieces is marvellous.
No one saw him fall and he was not
missed Off the train until it arrived In
Reynoldsville. Another train was fol-
lowing close after the one that Allen
had fallen from and that train stopped
and picked him up. He was brought to
the Ross House In this place. His
right ankle was SO badly crushed that
amputation was necessary, and his body
was more or less bruised in number of
places.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.
Mrs. Ayres and Daughter, Miss Roberta
Were Passengers on Train.

A passenger train was wrecked on
the Ridgway & Clearfeld R'y near
Croyland Monday and the fireman,
Michael Welsh, was killed. Mrs. j. b.
Ayres and daughter, Miss Roberta, OF
this place, who were returning from q
visit In Remove, were passengers on the
wrecked train. A log had either been
placed on the track or washed down
the hill by the heavy rains Monday
forenoon and the engine struck the log
when the train was running very fast.
The log was across the track on sharp
curve and the engineer did not see the
log until his engine was almost on it,.
He reversed his engine and called for
the fireman to jump, but the fireman
did not jump soon enough and was
caught in some manner and was killed.
The engineer and passengers escaped
with few bruises and bad shaking up.
The engine struck the log with such
force that half Of the pony wheels were
buried into the log. The log was pushed
ahead OF the engine about fifty yards be-
fore the engine jumped the track down
the embankment. The cool-headedness
OF the engineer in reversing his engine
In all probability saved the lives of a
number OF passengers. The engine and
baggage car were all that left the track.
Fireman Welsh was carried into one OF
the passenger cars and Mrs. Ayres and
daughter helped do all they could for
the suffering man, but he soon expired
after being carried into the car.
