A Hot Time.

William Boyd and wife, Nellie Boyd,
gypsies, were camping In Tom Reyn-
ods' orchard, within the borough limits,
last week and on Friday Richard Berry
and wife, Mary Berry, who have aban-
doned the gypsy life and have bought
property and settled in Dubois, came
to Reynoldsville to visit their kinfolks,
as Boyd is brother Of Mrs. Berry. IL
appears that they rushed the "growler"
and before the afternoon was far spent
war broke out In the camp and there
was bloodshed. Mrs Boyd, who seems
TO be quite pugilist was handling
Mrs. Berry roughly when Boyd tried to
part the women and protect his sister.
This only infuriated Mrs. Boyd the
more and she took the butt end OF a
buggy whip and pounced upon her hus-
band and battered his head and face In
bad shape. A Reynoldsville fellow
who had been slipping beer with them,
interfered and the woman made IL
lively for him and he was glad to get
out of her clutches.
Saturday morning Policeman Pom
roy arrested Boyd and his wife, their
company having returned to Dubois,
and they were given hearing before
Burgess Mitchell, who fined them $3.50
n piece. Monday Policeman Pomroy
went to Dubois and arrested Berry and
his wife and brought them to this place
and they were given hearing before
Burgess Mitchell. There was no evil
dence against Berry, who was tangled
up in the melee as a peacemaker, but
Mrs. Berry was one OF the participants
in the scrap and His Honor fined her
800 and costs, 800, which made her
bill $l2.00.

TROLLEY LINE NEEDED.
A Stock Company Should be Organized
and Trolley Line Built.

Our people have talked and read
about trolley line from Reynoldsville
to Rathmel, Big Soldier, Sykesville
and Eleanora until II has became an old
story, but the street car line has not
materialized yet. The fact remains
just the same that trolley line TO the
towns mentioned would be a good thing
for Reynoldsville, even better than II
large industry of any kind. We believe
the project would pay good interest on
the money invested, as there would be
large amount OF travel over the line
daily, but that IS not the most impor-
tant thing FOR our people to consider.
The question is: Will we fold our hands
and allow the people OF another town
to come into our territory and take the
trade away from our very doors with
out making an effort TO compete with
them? The Punxsutawney street car
line is now figuring on extending its
line TO Eleanora and Sykesville, and It
behooves use to be getting move on II
we would hold our own. Why not or
ganize stock company and build the
trolley line? There is certainly enough
loose capital in this section to build such
line. Why not call public meeting
and get down to business about this
matter without wasting any more time?
II outside capitalists, who have been
talking about building this line, mean
business this will put a stop to their
foollng about it, and II they don't want
to take up good thing the townspeo-
pie can make money out OF the line
themselves. This isa fair proposition
and II the town don't take the matterup
we will likely awaken to the fact some
day that it was mistake, and a SER
ious one too, not to have trolley line
from our town TO Rathmel Big Soldier,
Sykesville and Eleanora. 1t is certain
ly worthy of investigation as to cost,

After the Trolley.

The people of Reynoldsville are still
clamoring for II trolley line. II the
people OF the town are able to distin-
guish good thing when they see 1t
they will take steps toward building a
line to Eleanora and Big Soldier. This
would be one of the best things that
could possibly happen to Reynoldsville,
and If that town does not do something
in that line in the near future the prob
abilities are that Punxsutawney will
see to it that the people get chance
to ride in the street cars from EleanOra
to PunXsutawney. Reynoldsville should
get hump on and build this line.-
