There seems to be quite an activity in
mining around Custer just now, which
will in all likelihood continue to be the
case. Investors are beginning to see
that the southern Hills have taken on
new life and mining property becomes
active accordingly. There is no shadow
of doubt that if this goes on, the future
will bring large returns in prosperity and
prestige to Custer and surrounding coun:

became quite intimate. Lions gun,
which was quite a poor one, got out
of repair and he borrowed Jacobs
firearm, promising to return it in two
days. which he failed to do. After
waiting two days longer and the gun
was not returned, the owner sent Tom
word that If the gun was not returned
the next day. It would cost him his
life. He obeyed the notice, returning
the gun, but was out of humor about
it, and cross words passed between
them. Mrs Ammon gave Tom some
thing to eat and he went of towards
Killbuck. He soon returned, saying
he had found an old she bear with two
cubs in an alder swamp, and wanted
the gun to shoot her. Ammon refused
him the gun, saying he would go him
self and do the shooting. To this Mrs.
Ammon objected and Lion went away,
making threats about what Jim might
do some day.
The next day there was house,
raising at George Painters in the Salt
creek settlement, north of the present
village of Mt Hope. A great many peo-
pie were there, Lion being one of them.
Whisley was plenty and Lion drank
freely, becoming laxative. The mur-
der OF the Hochstetler family on the
pennsylvania border by the Indians
was one Of the subjects talked of. Lion
claimed to know much about it and

When the settlement of Berlin had

himself Tom Lion lived in little hut

creek Lions run, which name 1t bore
for many years. Tom Lion could talk

came Lion brought them meat and in

women stories and frightening them.
1t is said that he told them he had at
his cabin 80 dried human tongues on
string, that he got when he was
young. He would say. ''White squaw

meat" and IL there was any meal In
the house he always got some and
was told not to bring any more meat.

was received Friday. Brancher stated
that he will take it upon himself to
refund the money he obtained from
Akron people, if the company fails to
deliver, and he states further that the
company now owes him $500. He has
left their employ refusing to repre-
sent them any longer, and is now try

Brancher gives every evidence that
he, personally. is acting in good faith

much satisfaction to many friends of
the young man in Cuyahoga Falls. who
were his staunch supporters when the
trouble over the first delay occurred.

The continued rains are the cause

Philadelphia North American.
The Rev. DR.. B. J. S. Kerby, vicar of
William PENIS church, in the town OF
Amersham Buck, England, has come to
Philadelphia to ask the aid Of it's citizens
ture from ruin. It is built Of stone and
has stood for seven centuries, but now the
wood work under the tiles Of the roof is
rotten and the tower needs repair.
A curious story comes out about an In
cident in connection with the old church,
which created quite a stir when it hap
pened, two years ago. DR.. Kerby, who
had just been appointed to the living by
Lord Howe, observed that the old Penn
pew had about rotted to pieces, and so he
had it taken out, thinking it Of no value,
and threw it into the paddock as rubbish.
The story Of its removal came to the
ears of a sharp London dealer in antiqu-
ties, and he did not waste any time in
journeying down to the quiet little coun-
not learned in the worldly methods OF
shrewd city dealers, was surprised and
pleased when he was offered $25 for the
rubbish, as he considered it, and he had
that much more money for the poor.
The dealer gathered UP his treasure and
in couple of weeks had sold the whole
to relic hunters in Pennsylvania, realiz-
Ing the enormous profit of $1,125.
DR.. Kerby was averse to talking on the
subject when seen Thursday, and said
that he did not know who the Pennsyl-
vanians were who Had bought the relics.
He also refused to reveal the name of the
London dealer.
The same man, he said, tried to buy an
old silver vessel which had been treasured
In the church for centuries. But the vicar
had eaten Of the bitter fruit Of expert
ence and refused point blank to sell it.

church, was originally in the old Curzon
