spent Wednesday and Thursday
with the commissioners looking
over the road, and expressed them
selves as we'll pleased with the work
and complimented the commission

to come on to this city, but urgent
business called him back to Boise.

STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS.
Bids Will be Received Until
December 3rd

~" ~" 'ONC'vON O'pt'I
December 3rd
The postmaster general at Wash
ington has issued an advertisements
inviting proposals for carrying the
U. S. mails over the several routes
in this county and with it instruc-
tions to bidders which should be
carefully read by all who intend to
submit bids. A number of new
rulings have been made which
will no doubt materially improve
the service, besides putting stop
to the wholesale speculation which
has heretofore been carried on
in this branch ofgovernment work.
Special attention is called to the
law prohibiting the sub-letting OF
contracts, and contractors will be
expected to reside on or contiguous
to the route and give personal
supervision to the performance of
the service. They will also be re-
quired to make schedule time.
In addition to carrying the mails
to the various post offices the car
rier on each route Except when
oiherw Sc specifically stated will
be, also, required to deliver mail
into ali boxes and hang small bags
or satchels containing mail on
cranes or posts that may be erected
along the route,
These requirements will without
a doubt give the public better
service but they will, also, incre .se
the cost of carrying the mail and
parties who have heretofore taken
contracts at ruinously low prices
| will either have 10 quit the bust.
ness or expect their bondsmen to
make good their deficiencies. The
government Is determined to have
good service and is willing to pay
for it.
Among other bids called for in
the advertisement is one between
Grangeville and Meadows to b

FROM THUNDER MOUNTAIN
An Old Time Prospector Tells
OF Its Wonders.

The writer of this had the pleas
nre of talking with a man yester-
day that is in town direct from
Thunder Mountain. He left
Grangeville the 25th of last June
and on his way in was deluged by
snow until in July. He has put
in the whole summer their develop
ing his own claims-four in num-
Der. He insists that all the stories
that have been told concerning
that phenomenal region exaggerated
as some of them may seem, do not
yet tell of the wonder of the vari-
GUS mines 30 far developed.
Speaking Of one owned by Messrs.
D. ]. Brown and Foster Ricnard-
son Of from near White Bird, now
under bond to Boise parties, he
says that in u 22-foot cut they ara
working in an ore carrying a
black iron sulphide that assays
Sl,O54 and some odd cents. A
bond for these four claims was
made just before our infoi mant
left camp, for $500, part OF the
money being paid to the mine
owners. ''It is the most wonder
full camp l have ever seen snd I
have been in the best of them, from
Alaska on down to our great
camps. When a man can pan gold
out of the very dirt under his feet
there must be a big deposit some
where. In fact the every opening
made SO far you can find gold in
every shovelful Of rock you break
down. OF course our camp has
, hardly been tried yet, in fact il
only in its prospecting stages, but

Arrested for Stealing Goal.

There was group OF colored Of
tenders before Squire Tacoby Friday
morning, when Amanda Dennis, Nan
Rhoades, Annie Stucky, Florence
Rux, Wilbur Rux and Frank Parks,
were arraigned on charge of larceny.
The arrests were made by Constable
Miles Betz. 1t appears that the pur-
loining has been carried on all winter,
and the amount taken it is believed
would aggregate many tons. They
did not conhne their practice to any
one particular dealer. The coal yards
of various vendors were visited, and
the commodity carried away in suffi-
cient amount to keep the temperature
of the several homes comfortable tor
days at time. When the supply was
exhausted, another coal yard would be
invaded. In this manner it was kept
up all winter. The dealers, or at least
some of them missed the coal, but
were unable to account for its dlsap-
pearance. A dark man on dark
night, is as dark as sin. They each
furnished bail in the sum of $1,000 to
appear at the September term Of
court.

6:4o, during which time he renewed
acquaintances and described in vivid
manner his experiences. When he
arrived at Light Street his reception
was more than cordial, friends crowd
ed about in their eagerness to GRASP
his hand. But the happlest of all were
his parents. We may be able to give
our readers some interesting reading
concerning his adventures, later on.

Hand Out Off.

An accident occurred at J. J. Rob-
inson & Co.'S planning mill Friday
morning which renders Clark Bowen
a cripple for life. He was a new hand
at the mill, having only been employ
ed few days previous, and was un-
familiar with the location Of the vari-
Gus machines. AT the time of the ac-
cident he was engaged at work other
than that intended for him to do. He
was cleaning away the accumulation
of shavings which covered one of the
moulding machines, and thrust his
hand down between the knife blades,
the keen edges of which nearly sever
ed his hand at the wrist. His perllous
position was discovered by fellow
workman, who with the assistance OF
some others took him to the home of
his father, Afford Bowen, on West
Third street. DR.. Gardner was sum-
moned and dressed the wound. He
is only little over IS years of age.

KRIOKBAUM WINS.

There was considerable excitement
on the street on Tuesday morning,
when it was announded in the city
papers that the Supreme Court had
reversed Judge Halsey's decision In
the Krickbaum case. The opinion
has not been received here yet, but it
is understood that the decision is
based on the ground that a County
Commissioner is not such trustee,
manager or director, as is meant by
the act. The effect of this is to put
T. ]. Vanderslice, the appointee Of
the Court, out of the Commissioner IS
office and reinstate William Krick-
baum. AS a proper recognition OF
his victory Mr.. Krickbaum gave orders
to prepare for demonstration in the
evening, and put the matter in the
hands of w. B. Allen to make the
necessary arrangements. The Berwick,
Catawissa, Buckhorn and Bloomsburg
brass bands were engaged, and a
number Of banners prepared. AT
about $500 in the evening the pro-
cession started, and Main Street
blazed with red light rockets and
music. 1t looked like the 4th of July
or a Presidential ratification meeting.
This ends another chapter in the
Vanderslice- ce-Krickbaum controversy.
What is going to happen next no one
can foretell.

Patrick McFadden.

After a short illness, the period OF
his confinement to the house not ex-
ceeding over a few days, Patrick Nc
Fadden died from an attack OF pneu-
monia at his home on East Seventh
street late Friday night. He had
been a resident OF Bloomsbury for a
long while, and for that reason was
we'll known. Years ago he was en-
ployed at the Neal furnace, and after
that enterprise ceased operations he
sought employment elsewhere. He
vas engaged major part OF his time,
repairing streets and highways. His
health had been impaired for some
years, but the family little dreamed
that his condition was critical.
The survivors are a wife and SIX
children. -Four of them, Maggie,
Grace, Ella and Henry live at home,
while Mrs. Sadie Layton resides al
Pittston and James in Philadelphia.
The deceased was sixty years oI
age. The funeral was held from ST.

morning. Services were conducted
by Rev. Father Barr.

Committed Suicide.

Dyer Thomas, of Eyersgrove took
his own life Monday morning by shoot
ing himself through the heart with a
shot gun, within a stone throw of his
home. He arose quite early in the
morning, ostensibly to shoot a hawk,
which had been carrying off some
young chickens. A short time after
he left the house, a report of a gun
broke the stiffness of the morning, but
his parents thought nothing Of it.
Finally when the breakfast hour
arrived, and the son failed to appear,
and a call brought no reply, a search
was instituted. A short distance from
the house in wooded ravine his body
was discovered. Life was already ex
tinct. The shot which had attracted
the attention of the family an hour OF
so previous had no doubt been the
fatal one. The contents of the CUR
took effect Immediately below tht
heart, and death must have been in
stantaneous. Just what actuated the
deed is a mystery, but the general be
lief is that he was disappointed in love
1t is known that he had imagined
himself ill-used, and his affection
triled with. For days he had bee
pensive and had expressed himself il
terms, which showed that life had n
joys for him, thus he sought comfor
in death.
The deceased was nearly forty year
OF age. He was gentle in dispositio
and generally esteemed. His parent
Mr.. and Mrs. Britain Thomas, ar
greatly depressed. Their sorrow
shared by the community.

Finding 6 Of the Jury.
Wellington Hartman's Death,
Due to Willful Reckless
ness.
George Sommers and Miles
Sassaman Must Answer.

The jury empanelled by Justice of
the Peace Bare IN Danville in the
case of Wellington Hartman, who was
killed in a collision with George
Sommers and Miles Sassaman on
the public road below Grovania
on Sunday night, May 5th, CON-
pleted its labor at an adjourned in
quest held at the Justices Office Satur-
day afternoon. The only additional
witness heard was DR.. J. r. Kimerer.
He described the nature of the
wounds, which he said we're sufficient
to cause death. The other testimony
was printed IN last weeks issue of this
paper. Miss Ella May Hartman,
who was with her father when the
collision occurred, was called but her
testimony was repetition of that
previously given.
The finding was to the effect that
deceased, Wellington Hartman, about
8:3o o'clock on the night of May 5th,
1901, while driving on the Blooms
burg road came to his death through
the willful recklessness and careless
driving ofGeorge Sommers and Miles
Sassaman, who collided with his
spring wagon, causing him to be
thrown out and almost instantly
killed.
Sommers and Sassaman are both
residents of this county, the former
residing in Montour and the later
in Catawissa township. They will
now have to explain the recklessness
and ans wer for human life. And
ii is just and proper that they should.
Accidents of this nature are becom-
ing far too common for the safety
of mankind. 1t is high time to call a
halt. People with an utter disregard
for law and correctness should be
taught lesson. They have secured

at ten o'clock Monday morning, They
entered plea of "not guilty" twas
their intention to waive the pro-
seeding by giving bail tor the amount
demanded, for their appearance at the
next session Of court. But owing to
the seriousness of the charge, the
Justice was unable to accept bail, ac-
cordingly Judge Little was telephoned
for and went down on the noon train.
During the intervening few hours
Sommers and Sassaman were given
into the custody of Sheriff Breckbill,
and placed in the Montour County
Jail.
Court convened at 1890 with Hon.
r. r. Little and Associate Judge Blue
presiding. Several witnesses were re-
called. The prisoners were finally re-
leased on habeas corpus proceeding
and held in $1,000 bail, each to appear
at court.
