Hcef Hackenberger, but by that !
tmo the h0usebreaker had pona.
There was fresh snow. and he
was traced through the ward to T
the alley, along the alley to the |
Scholl lot through which he came |
to Washington street on which he
Travelled in the direction of the jail.
He had made an ugly threat to
Mrs. Hinely, that if she did not
"shut up he'd burn the d ID
shack down." Reynolds and Hack- /
enberger have the size of the shoe
as tracse ed in the snow well fixed
in their mind. They have2't said
just what house it entered. That
may be a subject for future investi-
CATION. That all took place be
tween the hOurs of one and two
O'Clock in the morning.
This February weather knocks out
the Oldest inhabitant. and he fails
back to the accounts of hard winter rs
banded down by bis great grand
father. Those were the days before
railroads and st;ge lines, when The
people in this region lived in the
woods in warm log houses with their
large hearths, where they had logs
t ~ocd four feet long piled high
and brisk'y burning. Tnose we're
the dsys before frozen water pipes
troubled the People. Nest of The

the lire'ess, fcostlsrs, ever running
spr.ngs sent forth their crystal
waters here at Mlff1 ntown. The
springs were destroyed by the cazal
which never MAS of much account 10
any one, except the fe pie wto
squeezed liv'ng out of it's manage
neot. The people then were not
am mbi'ious for lpxuries. they thought
iuxuries were burdersoms things to
keep up. When winter like now

selves by their cabin fires and wait

multiplication of tbs peopls and the
rush of business and trade, ard am
bitlon for this and for that las
changed ev rytbing, and when an
extreme of weather comes, such as
has been experienced this February,
it IS productive Of great deal of
discomfort. Dozens of cases of death

the state sre reported. No d. aths
of that kind are reported In Juniata
