Murderous Assault,
Editor Press:

Editor FreSs:-
Last Saturday afternoon, about three
miles from Cameron, a quarrel took
place between N. II. Prentice and Chas.
Pennington, employed on Whiting &
Thomas log job. AS near as can be
learned, Pennington owns a ferociou
dog that jumped at Prentice as he
passed by, which frightened him,
Prentice, and caused the use of some
emphatic language. Pennington took
exceptions to his strong words and,
grabbing double bitted axe, struck at
Prentice, inficting a severe wound on
his head, following the assault with a
blow on the wounded mans back with
the fiat of the axe, telling Prentice to
the ground. Regaining his feet Prem
tice attempted to defend his life from
the frenzy of the infuriated man, when
Pennington struck him another blow
in the right breast, breaking three ribs.
That he was not killed is a miracle.
Pennington made his escape, or con-
cealed himself from the infuriated
woodsmen. DR.. FL. w. Good was
'phoned for and reached the scene of the
melee late at night, being taken from
Cameron on one of Cameron Lumber
Company's engines. The injured man
was placed on the engine and brough
to Cameron, where he is being cared
for at Van Names boarding house.
We understand warrants have been is-
sued for the arrest of Pennington.
LATER-A warrant was issued yes
terday for the arrest of Pennington,
who was taken before Justice Gentry
at Sterling Run, on charge of assault
with intent to kill" In default of
$4,000 bail the prisoner was confined in
Emporium Jail to await the action OF
the grand jury.

DEATHS DOINGS.
BINGEMAN.

'MRs. SUsANNAH BINGEMAN, widow
of the late John Bingeman, Sr., and
the Oldest person in this section of the
county Northumberland died on last
Friday night at 10 o'clock, at her home
in Georgetown, from the effects of a
second stroke of paralysis, at the age
of 9s years. Mother Bingeman, as she
was familiary known, was until about
six monts ago, when she first suffered
stroke of paralysis, in the very best
health and spirit, of jolly disposition,
and looked considerably more youth
full than many persons of sixty years.
Every person looked upon her as a
person who would surely pass the 100
mark, but death has decreed otherwise
and called her away from her earthly
home, into higher life.
She was an earnest christian aud at
tended church services until a few
years ago, when her advanced age
made it almost impossible for her to
walk the distance in safety, then she
partook of the Holy Supper at her
home. But short time ago her 98th
birthday anniversary was celebrated
by party into which she entered with
remarkable spirit.
Susannah, daughter of John G.. and
Mary Smith, was born October 10,
1906, which brought her age to 0s years
one month and IS days. Ten children,
five sons and five daughters, blessed her
union with John Bingeman, the FIVE
sons surviving, while the five daught
ers have passed to the great beyoL'
She is survived by five sons, 36 grand
children, 80 great-grand-c children and
80 great-great-grand-children.
Her husband proceeded her in death
some twenty years. She was higly re-
spected by all who were fortunate
enough to know this dear lady"
