means that 2l,OOO,OOO baskets of grapes
will be shipped from Brocton during the

Last Thursday a citizen named An
thony living near Green's mill in Har-
mony township, between Fagundus and
Neiltown, heard a racket in his hen-roost.
Having been bothered more or less in
that particular, he took his shotgun and
discharged load of shot in the direction
of the racket. The next morning there
was evidence about the place sufficient to
indicate that some one had been touched
up to considerable extent, but who and
how severely had not developed at last
accounts.
Fire started in the slashing of Shields
e. Gross on Milestone when the wind
storm came up early Wednesday morn

lily living on the slashing escaped only
with their night clothes on, everything
else they had burning. A fire started
about the same time on Spring creek
burned several thousand dollars worth
of logs and bark for Elk county parties.
