July llth, 1902, by John Epler The
bullet, q 3s-calibre. entered his head
just above right temple and lodged In
his head. DR.. V. II. Spackman, of
Dubois, was sent for, who dressed the
wound and said there were hopes of
the young mans recovery. Sheesley
was put on the 1920 p. IN. train at
Rockton TO bring HIM home, but before
the train arrived In Dubois the young
man died. The body was brought en- to
this place and John Epler, the young
man who did the shooting, had to bear
the terrible news to Mrs. Sheesley, who
had not even heard that her boy was
shot. The news was hard blow to
the old lady. The body was taken to
Hughes undertaking rooms and pre-
pared for burial. Friday night the

Robert V. Siple, John O'Connor, John
Epler and Grover Sheesley started
from Reynoldsville in covered wagon
to drive to the huckleberry mountains.
Sheesley had been driving several
hours and when going up a hill east of
aockton he said to Mr.. OConnor, who
y In front Of wagon, 81 am cold,
less the horse will go alright and |
Ill get off and walk. " Epler didn't
know that Sheesley got off the wagon,
but at the same time Epler picked up
yhis revolver, that he had been shooting
afew minutes before, which he thought
was empty, but snapped it to see II
there were any more loads in 1T. Epler
did not see Sheesley until after he had
shot him. 1t is supposed Sheesley step
ped around the end OF wagon as Epler
shot. Epler is feeling very badly over
the accident.

Black Rock Centennial.
From Leslie's Weekly.

FROM l<eslie's Weekly.
1t was on February II, 1902 that few
OF the pioneer residents OF Wilkersbarre,
then rude backwoods settlement gathered
in the old log tavern to watch the expert
ment OF making fuel of the black rock''
which cropped up plentifully In and about
town. A CRATE was specially constructed
for the purpose and the trial was made.
1t is needless to say that the experiment.
was complete success. Wilkesbarre the
birthplace Of this wonderful fuel product,
came in later years to be the center Of the
greatest coal producing region on the
globe, and itself busy. thriving. prosper
Gus little city. still increasing steadily in
numbers, wealth and power The rude
crate in which the first coal was burned
is sacredly preserved as the most cherished
relic of old times in Wilkesbarre III has
been twice stolen and twice recovered
after long and weary search 1t Is now
carefully guarded from envious and THEY
ing hands.
From the handful OF black rock burned
that winter day before the curious eyes of
the old pioneers mighty and far-reac hing
industry has sprung, an industry which
mas reVolutionized modern trade and COM
merce and added untold billions to the
wealth of the world. The handful of
black rock has grown into an annual
product OF over 100000 900 tons i'm America
alone, with a value exceeding 500, ,OOO con
mere than half of this being credited 10
the state of Pennsylvania. where the indus
