As soon as the column had left the cir

rebel cavalry scouts were in our rear, and
as the stragglers came on they would
gobble them up. But at last they had
more prisoners than they could handle,
so they turned back with the prisoners,
but they met more strcgglers and took
them in; but at last the stragglers thought
they could handle the cavalry scouts, and

PICKET SHOTS

THE 46TH PA.

Henry Clay Frantz, of Dauphin, Pa.
says that one of the greatest ambitions
of his life is to write concise and com.
plete history of the 10th Pa, of which he
was faithful member for nearly four
long years. He wants, not only to write
history of the gallant old regiment, but
wants to go over the line of march and
route and photograph the country as far
as possible and give scenes and illustra-
tons Of all the many hard-fought battles
in which the command took an active part
from beginning to the end of the great
conflict. Comrade Frantz's intentions are
to have all the surviving comrades pic
lures placed in the history, also such por-
traits of deceased members as he may re-
ceive from friends. Comrade Frantz asks
assistance and cooperation from all sur
yiving comrades, or any of their families,
including their diaries and other authen-
tic information relative to the history of
the regiment.

Welcome Old Settlers.

Old settlers Of Crawford county wa
give you a hearty welcome and hope
that the skies may be fair, your memo
rles joyous, your hearts light and your
dinner baskets heavy. AS we see the
remaining ones of the sturdy band of
pioneers who first settled this county
we are impressed with the fact that az
class they were men and women
above the average We KNOW some
thing OF the hardshiIs which they
had to face and we are glad Of the fact
that this country unjlae 50 many west
cru sections mas no memories of border
rutfiAnism to regret. We rejoice that
those who laid the foundations for the
prosperity of this county were honest,
industrious and law-abiding, God fear
ing people even before the restraints
OF organized society were thrown about
them. In those days when every man
was law unto himself, it is the proud
record of Crawford county tn at the per-
cent OF crime was no higher than 1t is
to-day and the per cent of crime to-day
committed by residents of the county.
Is as low as in any community on earth.
DO You realize that it is great thing
TO say, tnat when the early settlers
came to this county, far removed from
the effect of law, from home ties, from
churches aud from schools, they ut
once settled down into peaceful and
| law abiding community? The earliest
settlers we've chiefly OF American ori-
gin. Tney same while the Indian was
still in POSSESSION of the prairies and
when the wild anne ran ut large over
the hills. There were also number
of irish and OF Scotch descent among
these pioneers. To them was given
tae settlement ot the wooded lands in
the vicinity of the running waters.
The great German Immigration came
later "'.d To them was given the
opening up of the vast prairie regions.
No county could have been more ideal
ly settled or with more earnest, indus
trious ard uprig ht people than the
Americans, Irish, Scotch, German and
Swedes who have all worked together
to make this county what it is. Lest
we should forget some one of these
who have been most helpful in the
growth OF this county we will omit the
mention of names, but every one can
recall them. They linger tenderly on
the tongue, each bearing message of
good done, OF noble manhood and
womanhood and sacred obligation
that the present generation shall strive
to its uttermost to preserve and main
tain the high standard of integrity and
Christian manhood which they set.
! Again we welcome the thinning
ranks of the early pioneers and assure
, them that Denison appreciates theil
presence and knows that it owes more
; than it can ever repay to the faith n
! and the mothers of those early days.

DEPUTY KILLS Striker

INTENSE EXCITEMENT FOLLOWS.
One of the Deputies Arrested on
Charge of Murder After Order is
Restored and Lodged in Jail at
Mauch Chunk, Pa.

Nesquehoning, Pa, Aug. 19.-In
clash between striking mine workers
and deputies here last night, Patrick
Sharp, striker OF Lansford, was shot
and killed almost instantly by a dep
uty. The shooting caused considera-
Bile excitement for a time, but order
was soon restored without any other
persons being injured and the town is
now quiet. A deputy named Harry
McElmoyle was arrested charged with
the killing of Sharp and was takAn to
the county Jail at Mauch Chunk. The
shooting occurred shortly after 6
O'Clock Five deputies were on their
way to shaft No. l of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company just outside
OF the town. In the center Of the town
they were net by a number of strik-
ers, who began persuading them not
to go to the colliery. The officers did
not stop, but kept on their way and
tried to prevent any trouble. The
strikers, it is said began to abuse the
men and followed them nearly to the
colliery. There are conflicting stories
as to what actually brought on the
| clash. but just before the deputies en-
| tered the place a shot was heard and
Sharp dropped to the ground. The
! bullet entered his body close to his
heart. and he died almost Instantly
Witnesses say the shooting was done
by McElmoyle, and that he stood only
! six or seven feet from Sharp when he
1fed. Only one shot was fired. The
deputies Immediately withdrew to the
eolliery and large crowd gathered
about the place. When 1t was learned
that Sharp was dead there was the
greatest Indignation among the stril
ers and other townpeople, and for a
time it looked as though serious
trouble would occur Cooler heads
among the mine workers prevailed or
