The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1900-06-13


Last week Miles and wyman lait
the carpet and linoleum and hung thu
window shades in our new comfy home
which adds very much to the beauty of the
new structure and gives it very coy
and homelike appearance. The material
was furnished by the Tionesta Casl
Store and is a credit to any conce.u, both
in material and workmanship. Messrs,
Miles and Wyman boast of laying 2SC
yards of carpet and hanging ll9 window
shades iu three days. Who can beat it?
The Ladies of the Maccabees of Hick-
ory Hive No. ll2, celebrated their fourth
anniversary of organization Saturday
evening last. An hours free entertain
ment was given to large and appre-
ciative audience, after which there
was humming of Bees in the sup
per-room where ice cream, cake and
coffee was served, and neat sum rea'-
lied for the treasury. Tuesday, June 5th,
the ladies of the Hive accepted, the kind
invitation of Tidionte Hive and paid
them visit, and to say it was pleasant
one, would hardly express our pleasure.
The excellent supper was well seasoned
with mirth, and the guests returned
home well pleased, with the days enjoy
ment. 50
While returning from trip into In
diana county, DR.. w. G.. Morrow arrived
on thu scene in time to render assistance
in saving some property from fire Mon
day evening. The large farm BAN be-
longing to Leonard Agnew, son of John
Agnew, living about two miles from
Cooksburg, on the Jefferson county side
of the river, was burning as the DIR. drove
up. Three or four of the neighbors had
gathered and were doing what they could
to keep the fire from communicating
with the house, in which the doctor took
a hand, remaining till all danger to other
property was over. The barn with all its
contents, some grain, wagons and farm
machinery, was totally destroyed. Mr..
Agnew and family are in Fittsburg on
visit, and The cause of the fire is mys-
tery but the supposition is that it was
the work of careless tranps. 1t is thought
Mr.. Aguew had some insurance on the
building.
1t would seem the captors of Frank
Major are likely to have some difficulty
in settling the question as to just who is
entitled to or will receive the $500 reward
offered by the city of Titusville next
morning after the robbery and murder of
of chief of police McGrath. The Herald
says: Former Constable Peter Haehn,
of Grand Valley, was in town yesterday.
He takes exception to the statement in
Tuesdays Herald that he had nothing
to do with Frank Majors arrest. He
says that he had just as much to do with
Majors apprehension as Constable f. S.
Goodwell. Both Goodwell and Haehn
approached the bandit at the same mo-
ment. AS the constable seized Majors
right arm he directed Haehn to take his
left, which the latter did. Mr.. Haehn
afterward accompanied Goodwell and
Major to Titusville and assisted in deliv-
ering the latter over to the local authori-
ties. He told the Herald yesterday that
he will claim one-half of the reward of
$500 offered by the city, and believes that
he is entitled to it. John Whaley,
another Grand Valley man, assisted in
disarming Major, and he also claims
share of the reward. The city stands
ready to pay the reward at any time, but
will not be party to any controversy
