Judge Gillett held an adjourned term
of court here on Friday and Saturday.
Arch Stewart, the young man who bur-
glarized w. II. McColl's house in Elm
Mills township, pleaded guilty to bur-
glary in the third degree. The county
attorney charged him with burglary in
the second degree and larceny, but the
court called Mr.. Griffin's attention to
the fact that the crime did not consri-
tute burglary In the second degree and
it was accordingly reduced. The charge
of larceny was withdrawn in view of
the defendants agreement to plead
guilty. The leniency of the court was
recommended for the reason that the
offender was only % years old and this
was his first offense. Judge Gillett SEN
fenced the prisoner TO year and
months in the penitentiary-six months
more than the lowest penalty under the
law. A decree of divorce was granted
in the case of Witty vs. Willy. In the
Lynch cattle case-the one which
Trustee McElwain, of Eagle township,
lnStltuted-the county was given judy
ment and the defendant was given 10
days to pay. The case that consumed
most of the time was that of the Cos
sard Investment Company VS.. j. W..
McNeal, ct. ala motion to revive
Judgment in a mortgage foreclosure
case of nearly five years standing.

scented the defendant. We were mis-
informed when we stated last week
that decision would be- rendered In
the Wisner- Booher case. The attor-
neys have not yet submitted their briefs
and it will be some time before decis-
ion will be rendered.

boy of his. Next 10 his little son, he is
enthusiastic about the creamery at
Hazelton which he patronlzes To the
extent of about two tons of milk per
month. Last month his cows made
him $3.50 each for milk alone, and his
calves are as fine as any. He says ivery
nearly 1905 pounds of milk are received
at the Hazelton station at present, and
several new milk routes just establish
ed will increase the daily delivery con-
siderably. Over $500 were paid out by
the creamery people to the patrons last

total to be distributed to the farmers
will be probably betEeen $500 and $500.

BILE number of cigars. A PHILADELPHIA
manufacturer, not long since, besides
manufacturing cigars, also "manufac-
tured' a supply of revenue stamps and
as soon as he was caught it was or.
dered that all cigars sent out from that
establishment be possessed by the gov
eminent authorities. Sweeney found
the following number of boxes here:
l.. A. Ely & Co. Is, John Luallen Is, S.
L. Hardy Z, ALB. Wilkins z, BE. Glas-
Ter 3, G. j. Southworth l. Total 40.
The cigars were deposited for preserva-

inspector will come along later to de-
termine how many of the boxes contain
fraudulent stamps, after which the CT.
CARS will probably be disposed of. In
any event our merchants will lose moth

bought are responsible. Judge Lacy
says that the county officers as well as
the general public, are treating him
like lord just now, but he doesn't pro.
pose to waste any of the Havanas at
this season of the year. Mr.. Sweeney
explains that his reason for leaving the
cigars in the Judges care is that he
