about IS years, and leaving large fami-
ly, was shot aud instantly killed by a
neighbor, Benjamin George, who mis-
took him for woodchuck, near his home
at Grand Valley last Sunday afternoon.
The two had been lifelong friends. On
Sunday Hollenbeck went looking for
bees and was bending down, when he
was spied by George, who was hunting
wcodchucks with Winchester rifle. The
latter's aim was deadly aud moment la
ter Hollenbeck fell to the ground a
corpse, the heavy missile having passed
clear through his brain. George was al
most crazed by his fatal mistake, but
gave the alarm. A coroner's jury exoner-
ated George from blame in the case.
The fall months are here and winter
is bound to come, so the prudent house
holder prepares for the campaign by fit
ing himself up with a good cooking or
heating stove as the case may require.

-Marienville Express of last week (:
Thos. Hope, an aged citizen of jerks
township, died early Sunday morning at
the home of G. d. Edridge, where he
had been living for some years. Mr..
Hope came to this section from Phila-
delphia thirty years ago. He was rela-
tive of the SCOTS, and for some years
made his home with James Scott and
son. His exact age is not known, but he
was about eighty-two years old. He
had never been married and had no near
relatives. The funeral was Monday af-
ernoon.-Hays Walters, of Tyler sburg,
was badly injured on the bolting saw on
the shingle mill at Parrish Thursday
night of last week. He was the fireman
on the mill and was giving some atten-
ton to the light near the bolter, and ap-
parently had forgotten that the saw was
there. When he remembered about it he
had badly cut right arm and two fing-
ers on his LETT hand were also cut. He
was brought to this place and Drs. Tow
Ter, Stonecipher and Yingling dressed
his injuries. Although badly used up it
is thought his arm can be saved.
