 The hat found by Attorney Durant after the assault this morning was eyi- dently purchased from the Danbury Hat company, whose brand is on the crown inside. The size is 2 and it looks small at that. The shape is the common derby: It looks to have been worn some time and bears the union label. No trace of the owner was found up to press hour The two 1 holes which were made, it is said by revolver are not round, but triangular and clear cut and though it is said the shot was fired at close range there were no evidences of powder or scorch l on the felt. It is possible, however. that bullet could have made the | holes in the hat.

BAND FESTIVAL,

The Bloomsbury Band will hold
a festival and concert on Friday and
Saturday evenings of this week at
the Town Hall. On Saturday even
ing the Catawissa and Buck Horn
Bands will be present, and all three
will form at the Square and march
as one band, with seventy-hve men,
bers.
The Bloomsbury Band YVES organ
lied September 7, 1870, and was i'll
corporated June ID, 1887. There
was band here before 1870, and a
very good one too as bands went in
those days, but it was hap:hazard
sort of an affair, and one was never
sure whether the town had band
or not. The present organization
has been continuous for thirty three
years, and though it has had its
lapses it has always revived again,
and today it is stronger and better
than ever before.
It's continued existence IS due
more to the zeal and interest of 7.
l.. Gunton than any other one man.
He is now and has been for some
years it's President, and its present
condition is due largely to his efforts.
Mr.. Calhoun, the new leader, is
bringing the band up 10 higher
plane than ever before.
But it costs money to run a band.
New instruments new uniforms,
the leaders, salary, music and many
other items of expense are con.
stantly to be met. and they must
come largely from the public which
has so frequently had the benefit o
the free concerts of the band. Thi:
festival is to be held for the purpose
of raising money to defray expens
es, and liberal response should bt
given. A good band is credit tc
the town, and every body wants it
The only way to have it and keel
it is by helping the cause along will
your means and your presence.
