NOTHING BUT RABBITS.
6a1ne LAWS Now In For1e-Loral
NiWrodS Inactive.
A. Il. WISEN,
County Attorney.

Ihere Is no game coming into market
with the exception of Il few rabbits.
which are being shot. The fact is that
no hunters are cut. In q conversation
this morning ONE of the leading nin-
rods OF the city said "Do you know that
rabbits are all that we can shoot be-
tween NOW and April 1?'' This seemed
peculiar and upon being questioned he
answered that the game laws we're in
force at the present time, and every
man who shoots anything but rabbits
lays himself liable to fine. There is
not much danger of anyone being fined
for shooting ducks or geese, as they will
probably not have an opportunity to
shoot any of them for some time. The
fowllng piece Treasured belongings of
the nimrods) are carefully slowed away
and they will probably not find much
use for the next few months.
Claude Shaw and Miss Cora B. Boyce
came down from Garden Grove, Iowa,
last Wednesday, and applied to Circuit
Clerk B. P. Sigler, for license to marry.
Mr.. sigler thinking Miss Boyce not yet

ceiving telegram from her father stat
ing that it was his earnest desire that
she return home on the first train, and
also stating that she was not yet Is.
But the young couple wanted to get
married. and married they would be, so
they left Thursday for Albany, where
we since learned they secured the license,
were married and went their way rejoic-
ing. They seemed especially anxious
for Mr.. sigler to receive the news,
among the first, as while they thought
he was an efficient Circuit Clerk, he was
not very accommodating one. The
young couple admitted they were run.
away couple. We understand the young
lady who accompanied the youngsters
to this place. played" bride at Albany.
when they went to interview the Circuit
Clerk, as she was larger and looked
older than Miss Boyce. What won't
the young folks do when they want to
get married. and parents object?-

LAST MEETING OF YEAR.

The Bloomsburg Town Council
held its last meeting of the year
Thursday evening. The members
were all present. The session was
not a very lengthy one, but consider
able business was transacted never
theless.
In regard to the proposed sewering
of East Fifth Street, town engineer ].
c. Brown, stated that in order to do
the work properly, I42 feet of Ia inch
pipe, a33 feet of 10 inch pipe and
ST feet of s inch pipe will be re-
qured. He submitted a profile which
he had prepared. The matter was
thoroughly discussed, and although no
definite action was taken, it is highly
probably, that the sewer will be con-
structed. All the residents along the
street are complaining that their
cellars are filed with water, and there
is no way to get rid of it.
The walks along the properties of
c. G. Peacock and William Coffman
ON West MAN Street, we're made the
subject of complaint, and the secre-
tary was authorize to notify the own
ers to pave them or the work would
be done by the town, with the usual
penalty added to the cost.
The Street Commissioner was In
etructaJ tD accartotr, tha roct Of bui1I
ing a twenty-five foot road with two
stone culverts on the route OF the
proposed road at Iron Dale and to
investigate and relieve, if possible the
situation at Park Street, against
which much objection has been raised
by the residents.
The Secretary was instructed TO
notify the Trolley Company to make
repairs to their road where same is
dangerous to travellers.
The recent disturbance at the
Methodist Mission was reported to
Council, and Chief OF Police Knorr
was instructed to investigate.
Mr.. Kashner reported that com,
plant had been made to him, in re,
gard to the hurying OF horses at the
foot of Catharine street. 1t appear:
that a number have been buried there
Of late, and insufiiciently covered
The matter was turned over to healtl
officer Webb, who is to see that the
horses already buried are covered
with three feet of earth, and to forbi(
the burial there of horses in thC
| future.
The bills were paid, and the meet
! lng adjourned.

COST OF COUNTY BRIDGES.

Last year the estimate made at
the beginning OF the year for build
ing and repairing county bridges
was $40, 900. The statement shows
that over S22, 900 was expended.
This year the board of commission
ers estimates that it will take SIS 900
for that purpose, and Commissioner
Sterner says that they will endeavor
to keep within that limit. Intersect-
ed as Columbia County is by 50
many streams, the item of bridges
is one that figures largely in the
county finances. Besides the river
the sections of the county on both
sides of the river are cut by smaller
streams, and many bridges are
necessary. The Mifflinville bridge
when completed, will make four
county bridges across the Susque-
han0a. Of these, the Carawissa
bridge was built by the state, and
halt the cost Of the Berwick bridge
was paid by Luzerne county. 1t is
not surprising that this item in the
statement is a large one.

A Desperate Chance.
Robbers Enter the New Electric
Light Co.'S Storage House
Sunday Evening.
Discovered but They Escaped.

BY "despirate chance" we
don't refer to the escape of the
celebrated Biddle Bros. from the
pittsburg Jail two years ago, but TO
the escape Of the two robbers, evi-
IDENTIFY youths, who succeeded, after
being caught like rats in a trap as
it were, in getting away from two
policemen who stood guard on the
exterior of the building, one with
club and the other with a revolver,
waiting for their appearance.
The building entered was the
new Irondale Electric Light, Heat
and Power Company's storage
house next to X. l.. Hartman S
store on Main street. The would
be robbers selected what would
seem to be very unreasonable
time for such an occasion. 1t was
only eight O'Clock in the even
ing and the street was filled with
people returning home from church.
An entrance was effected through
the rear door and they had proba-
bly, been in the building some little
time before they were discovered.
1t was Eugene Quick and Warner
Kitchen who first discovered their
presence. The occasional flashes
of a dark lantern attracted their
attention and after investigating 10
make sure that robbery was being
committed they informed Chief Of
Police Wesley Kuorr, He secured
the assistance of special officer
Whitenight and plans for the cap
turc of The robbers were made. The
chief stood guard at the rear door,
while Whitenight stationed himself
al the front door. AT given mo-
mcnt Samuel Harman shook the
front door, at the same time de-
manding admittance, Instantly
the robbers made a break for liberty.
The first threw roll of wire into
Chief Knorr's face, which dazed
him somewhat. Before he could

traced them as far as West street,
but here the trail was lost, A

From all the descriptions 1t is
evident that they were boys, whose
minds have become diseased from
the reading of trashy literature.

man, when he is perfectly nice and
clean, tastefully dressed and not noisy,
is bad enough, but man who wears
his hair in his eyes and over his collar,
manicures outside his own room, leans
around, sits with his feet higher than
his head and all that is unbearable. If
I married one of the beasts inadvertent-
