COUNTERFEITERS.
Three Captured Near Fort Loudon
Last Sunday.

United States Secret Service
Officer Barker, Washington, as.
sisted by Constable George w.
Wilkins, Mercersburg, arrested
Fordyce Bonebrake, William
Scott and William Fraker at their
homes in the vicinity of Fort Lou
don Sunday afternoon. They
are charged with passing count
terfeit silver coin. Whether the
additional charge of making it
will be made against them de-
pends on evidence yet to be col.
lected. Some weeksago spurious
half dollars of the date of 1899
were placed in circulation in st.
Thomas, Mercersburg and Fort
Loudon. Frisby Miller, prop
rietor of the hotel at ST. Thomas,
got a number of them during the
band festival at that place. At
several places in the county toll
gate keepers were given the coins
in payment of toll, always receiv-
ing genuin money in change.
The United States authorities
were notified of the existence of
the spurious coin and few days
ago Detective Barker slipped
quietly into the county from
Washington and began an inves-
tigation, working in and about
Saint Thomas, Fort Loudon and
Mercersburg. On the strength
of evidence secured Barker and
Wilkins Sunday afternoon, ar
rested the men coming upon each
prisoner at his home. The trio
was taken to Mercersburg and
placed in the lookup, and on Mon
day they were taken to Gettys-
burg where they were given a
hearing before the United States
commissioners at that place.
Detective Barker has been
working up the case quietly. He
was disguised as a tinware ped
dler, and it is said called at Scott S
home and endeavored to sell him
a quantity of tinware.

ceed in getting coal, he should
have no further compensation.
Where the outcropping shows,
the rock dips down into the
mountain at an angle about 45
degrees. "Johnnie," as our
Dutchman called himself, went
a little distance above the out
cropping and started down with
a shaft. Before beginning, he
gave Mr.. Fox a written descrip-
tion of the several strata through
which he would pass before
reaching the coal. At the end of
five weeks he was down about 80
feet and the strata were exactly
as described; but with the rudely
constructed pumps, they found
1T impossible to keep the shaft
free from water, and "Johnnie"
abandoned the work.
A short time thereafter a com
pany of capitalists proposed to
develop it properly, provided the
owners of the land along the en-
tire length of the outcrop would
lease. Leases were secured
promptly on fifteen farms; but
three or four important farms
could not be gotten, and the com
pany refused to go ahead unless
they could get all the farms.

Bulldog Kills Baby.

On Sunday there was a family
reunion at the Johnston farm,
near Prospect, Md. Orlando
Johnston, with his young wife and
4-month old baby, attended. In
the afternoon Mrs. Johnston,
carrying her baby in her arms,
walked in an orchard near the
house, where she encountered
the bull dog which ON account of
his vicious temper was usually
chained. Mrs. Johnston tried to
run, but tripped and fell. The
dog spraug on the child, seiaing
it by the head and crushed it be-
tween his jaws. He shook the
baby like a rat. The mother,
with a scream, threw herself on
the dog and tried to tear the baby
from its jaws. The father who
had witnessed the tragedy from
the house, came rushing to the
rescue with an axe. The dog
dropped the baby and retreated,
the mother caught up her mutt
lated infant, then tainted dead
away. The father instantly kill
ed the dog. The child died and
the mother has gone insane.

Miss Annie Sipes.

On last Friday night the Death
Angel came to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Sipes, of Lick
ing Creek township, and carried
away the spirit of their daughter
Annie, a sweet christian girl aged
l6 years, 3 months, and days.
Having been living away, she
went home several weeks ago to
see an older sister who had ty-
phoid fever, and sometime there
after became a victim Of the same
disease. Everything possible was
done to overcome the attack; but
her system did not seem strong
enough, and the end came as
before stated. She was faith
full member of the M. h. church,
and her remains were laid to
rest at Sloan on Sunday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock, her pastor Rev.
Seibert conducting the services.
The afflicted family have the
sympathy Of their many friends.

Out at Back Run at the home
of Mrs. Philip OFT is plum tree
that bore good crop Of plums
this season, shed it's leaves, and
closed up business for this year.
Becoming tired of waiting on
winter, it threw out a full bloom
a few days ago, and started in to
shoot new leaves and branches.
Everything looks promising now;
but we fear that it will not have
time to mature it's second crop
before Jack Frost interferes.

WORD WITH OUR FRIENDS.

the second year in the life of the
Fulton County News, we want a
little talk with each one of you
personally.
We believe you are pleased with
the News. Many of you have
said so; and the fact that you are
stepping in and laying down your
dollars for another year is the
best evidence that you are salts
fed.
There is not a whole lot of mon.
ey in it for the publisher. 1t
takes a great deal of work to get
out a good newspaper; and, be
sides that, a large current ex-
pense which must be met in cash
every month.
Very few persons would have
taken the chances, in small
county like this TO offer so large a
paper for so small a sum. We
know enough about the business
TO know that it could be done, if
the people of the county would APP
preciate the effort and join in
with us. This you have done be-
yond our most sanguine eXpecta-
tion; and it is TO you the News
owes whatever Of success it has
had. 1t is not only with your
dollar that you have helped us;
but we appreciate the fact that
you have spoken kindly of the
paper toyour neighbors, and have
brought us many new subscrib-
ers.
We have worked hard during
the past year, kept down expen-
ses as much as we could, and have
the satisfaction now of knowing
that the News is resting on pa
tronage that makes it safe.
We want YOU to feel that the
News is your paper, and that it
could not get along without you.
This is notsiaffy, for what news
paper could exist very long with
out subscribers or patrons. The
editor knows almost every one of
the twelve hundred subscribers
personally. He knows your pa.
rents or did know them, and
knows your wife's relatives. He
is interested in your whole fam
lily, and will lose no opportunity
to give you the benefit of any no
tice that Will do you good.
If you want to help us along,
send us your work. You may
need sale bills, letter heads, en-
velopes, cards, wedding invita-
tions or divorce uotices-send
them to us. If you have a farm
to advertise, an administrators
notice, an executors notice or an
auditors notice, tell your attor-
ney you wish it published in the
NEWS. He may "offer you some
thing else just as good" but insist
on the genuine News.
The News Office is well equip
ped for any kind of work and the
prices are right.
Now, our mark for the end of
this year is 2000 subscribers. If
each one of our present subscri-
bers will make it a point to get
ONE new subscriber (Which would
not take a great deal of effort) the
mark will be reached in great
shape. Talk to your neighbors
about the News; send sample
copies to your friends who are
away, or send us their names and
we win send the copies.
How much will you do?

I4-YEAR-OLD BOY DROWNED
Little Negro Fell Off Cape Fear Trans
~porration COmpany'S Dock YeSter-
day-AlI Efforts at Rescue Futile.

A negro boy about IA years of age
the dock of the Cape Fear River
Transportation Company at the foot
of Chestnut street about 4.30 o'clock.
Two of the river steamboats, were be-
ing loaded at the time alongside the
wharf and h negro boy was sitting
on a cap of the wharf apparently with
no special object in view.
A negro mn who serves as cook
on one of the steamers was about the
only person who saw the boy fall into
the river. She thinks he must have
fallen off in a fit Of some kind. He
made no outcry and struggled very lit
lie in the water. She said he was a
'.finakey'' looking fellow and seemed
in wretched health.
When the boy fell off the dock cap
and the alarm was given by the negro
woman, Mr.. r. L. Ward. engineer on
the steamer Buck, who was a by
stander, ram to the edge of the dock
and attempted to pull the boy out. Just
as he reached the waters edge h lit
tie fellow had started down for the last
time. He reached down as far as he
could into the water and succeeded in
getting hold of his kinky hair but it
was so short that he could not retain
his grip and the boy went down to re-
appear no more Hooks were gotten
and the water around and under the
boats dragged to 40 avail. 1t was late
in the evening when the body was re-
covered at the foot of Mulberry street.
The coroner was notified and had the
remains carried to the morgue at the
city hospital where a formal inquest
will probably be held to-day.
