Orange County Court,

The trial of the Clafn will case from
Braintree which began on Friday came to
premature end Saturday morning by Judge
Starts granting the contestants motion for
a verdict because none OF those whose
names appeared as attestng witnesses
could swear they saw the claimed testator,
Ephram f. Clsfin, sign his name or knew
that he did sign, or knew when they at
tested it that the document they sgned
was will. Judge Start ruled that the
statute requirements were not complied
with and directed the jury to render YER
dict that the instrument produced was not
the last will and testament OF said Ephraim
r. Claflin. The contestants excepted and
the cause goes to supreme court. j. d.
Denison and K. M. Harvey for proponents,
NJ. NJ. Wilson and Darling & Darling for
the contestants, There is one other civil
case to be tried and then the criminal
causes will come up, the grand jury having
last Wednesday reported eleven true bills
and eight not found. 1t now looks az il the
term would continue during all of this
week.

renee. According to dispatches from
Lorenzo Marquee, dated Tuesday, the
Malana bridge has been destroyed.
One account says it was blown up.
Another asserts that it was undermined

recovered. AS soon as he was himself once
more, he missed his money which was in
roll in his trousers pocket and amounted to
$3.50. He remembered having his hand in
his pocket when the team struck him and
concluded that the money must have fallen
on the ground. Upon inquiry and search
being made it was learned that one of the
workmen had seen two men pass over the
place where Mr.. Moffett fell and that one
OF them had stopped, picked up something
and placed it f. his pocket. Mr.. Moffett
set off post haste in pursuit of these men
and overtaking them demanded the return
of his money which was done after he had
described his property.

Money Being Sent Abroad When Better Values
are Obtained In Yakima-A Notable Instance.
For years past every public body in
Yakima has made efforts for the establish
ment OF factories here and persistent cry
has been made for home industries, and
while money has been invested by those
who have responded to the demands they
have met with failure in number of in
stances through the apathy OF the general
public, which seems inclined to send the
money abroad rather than keep it at
home, where it circulates and where all
are directly or indirectly benefited. An
instance of this kind is directly before the
people now in the matter of mineral
waters. We haye springs here which are
unsurpassed anywhere. Numerous tests
have shown the healthful properties of
the waters which are being bottled and
placed on the market in an attractive
form, yet number OF the public resorts
have of late, for no valid reason, placed
orders for foreign waters which are of
doubtful purity and of questionable
medicinal benefit This proceeding
should certainly not be countensnced by
the public and the only effective way
to prevent it is to demand and accept no
other than the Yakima mineral waters.

R0bber Band at Bay.

The gang of burglars by which the
northern end of Columbia and lower end
of Luzerne counties have been terror
lied for the past year, and whose latest
exploit was the attempted burglary of
the Pennsylvania and Seely store at
Bloomsbury on Friday night, have been
run to earth at last and will be appre-
hended in few days.
One of the burglars was seriously
wounded Friday night and in tracking
the gang the authorities found his blood
stained clothing.
The men are at bay in an old house in
the mountains near the Columbia county
line, and the authorities anticipate
trouble in capturing them, as they will
no doubt refuse to desert their wounded
companion.
