In the run for first base he stepped

William Ellis was painfully
burned on right hand and fore-a
and face by an explosion of gun
powder. He had carried a lot of
waste paper from the house to the
garden and there stopped to fire
the pile of paper. A paper of gun
powder was among the paper and
lay unseen by him just where he
applied the match. An explosion
took place in the twinkle of an eye
with the above mentioned result.
The burn is painful.
Lynch him! Lynch him! was the
cry of several hundred men who
had assembled at the railroad sta
ton at Tyrone, when the fiend
Toner Hastings local vagabOnd
was taken to HOllidaysburg Jail
for committing an assault upon an
" year old girl named Lottie
Burkel, who he caught in lonely
road while she was going home
from Glenhope school. The child |
is in critical condition and may
die.
.'There's un-Off and a woman
will be killed sure. Can't sOme-
one ride and catch that runaway /
hOrsev' and other exclamatiOns
were excitedly uttered by people |
along Bridge street as horse
hitched to buggy dashed up the
street. If the buggy had been en-
PITY the scene would have been eX-
citing, but there was a woman in
it and that made it dOubly alarm
ing. Men fairly danced with ex-
citement and grew pale. The woman
was good looking and sat upright
and seemed less excited than the
spectators. To the close observer
she seemed to enjoy the wild ride.
Talk about a circus hippOdrome
ride such rides were tame when
compared to the flight of the horse
and buggy up Fridge street to dis
appear like phantom on Wash
ington street on and on by East
Point where the pretty driver
shouted stop the horse! to men who
had their mouths open in wonder
ment Faster than you can say it,
she had gone out through the east
extension and disappeared like a
bird on the wing in the direction
kOf McAlisterville When she was
out of sight she wasn't out of mind.
Then the men began to talk. They
began to pity her; "she'll be kill
ed" said one; 'I bet she'll never
get UP and down the hill at Irwin
BashOre's aliver' ''she'll not get
half that far till the buggy will be
knocked into kindling woOd;"
'Let's go out in the name of hu-
manity and love for the sex of our
mothers and find her dead in a
fence corner and bring her in"
While that talk was going on the
ewes of the takers were turned in
the direction whence she had gone
Suddenly some one shouted, "well
I'll be blamed, there she comes
and the horse down to nice trOt.
She was coming up over the rise at
the East End. 1t was she. On she
came like a handsome ship into
port under full sail. The further
she came into town the faster the
horse sped along. At Squire Horn
ing's house she passed the left
hand line into her right hand.
Then she had both lines in
her right hand. Then she braced
herself for an increase of speed,
flipped the line over the back of
the horse and the beast was off like
an arrow in its fight. He was 60
ing hipity clip on a dead run. She
had the right of way. Everything
! got off to the side. She was down
Washington street before the peO-
ple who ran out Oftheir houses had
time to shut their doors and so fast
was she going when the curve
at the Lutheran parsonage was
made that the buggy made
