style. in broad daylight, on Monday
held up Henry Leader of Northumber-
land, along country road, and took
from him a sum of money amounting
to about twenty-six dollars.
Mr. Leader is an agent for the At
lantio Tea Co., and with "a horse and

berry along the road near the Chillis-
quaque bridge One Of the men grab
bed Mr., Leader by the feet and drag
ged him from the wagon, the latter
falling on his back in the road, with
the other on top of him. The man
had sharp instrument in his hand
and made an attempt TO cut his victim
with it. Mr.. Leader struggled desper-
ately with him and was successful in
preventing him from intiiCting an in
jury. But while they were struggling
on the ground, the second man search
ed his pockets and took his money
bag, which contained about twenty
five or twenty six dollars
Allowing Mr. Leader to rise 10 his
feet. the men pulled revolyers from
their pockets, and pointing them at
him, instructed him to climb into the !
wagon and drive on without making |
an outoIy, or they would blow the top |
of his head Oft. The highwaymen then |
made for the mountains and escaped
Mr.. Leader describes his assailants
as being about five feet seven inches

wore black suits and derby hats and
had their coats buttoned. He stated
that he could not see what was in the
hand of the man who pulled him out
of the wagon, but he believes it was

SAMUEL ANTRIMS
INTERESTING PET

Samuel Antrim of New York arrived
at this city on the TO 10 d. L. d W.
train yesterday accompanied by an
odd pet in the form of four months
old cub captured in the Nlppenose
mountains. Lycoming county.
Mr.. Antrim led his pet by chain
and was able to do with him about as
he pleased. 1t was not safe for strang-
ers, however, to take any liberties
with the bear, which had attained tine
size of collie dog and knew how to
be aggressive if the occasion offered
As soon as the train pulled out Mr..
Antrim led the cub to a pool OF water
near the station. A large crowd, most
Iy women and children, by this time
| had assembled and while the little
animal disported itself in the water
the owner explained how he happened
to get hold of the bear.
Accompanied by a friend he was en-
! loving an outing in the Nippenose val
! lev about a month ago when one uay
they came across two cubs. Each o
the little fellows had climbed into {
tree. The men were anxious to cap
ture the bears and decided to choI
down the trees. An axe was procured
and while they were trying to dis
lodge the cub afterward captured the
other one made it's escape.
During the four weeks that Mr.. An
trim has had the bear in his posses
sion he has become very much attach
ed to it. He was on his way yesterda,
to his brothers farm in Valley town
ship, where he intends to leave his pc
for the present.

Web Worms Ready for Invasion.

Fall webworms are going to be un-
usually plentiful this year, 1t Is SAID
at the State Department of Zoology
and possessors OF fruit or shade trees
must soon begin to take steps against
the rests to preserve the foliage and
the health of the tree.
Reports say that the worms have
been noticed in extraordinary large
numbers in the central and southeast
ern parts of the State and it is likely
that they are just as prevalent In 9TH
or sections.
Not unlike the tent caterpillar In its
methods, the treatment which is useful

and shade trees. being omniyorous,
One of the best plans is to destroy the
egg masses by clipping them off with
pruning fork and burning them or
throwing them away at some distance
from any trees.
One of the commonest methods of
destroying tent oaterpillars and Fall
webworms is to burn out the nests,
but State Zoologist Surface frowns up
Oh this method. In discussing how to
rid trees of suoh pests in the April
bulletin from his department., he said
that almost any method is better than
burning. If this plan is followed,
however, the torch should be passed
under the nest and held there only SO
long that the worms will be scorohed
and fall to tho ground. Generally the
fame is held to nest several times as
long rs is necessary and the tree is
damaged.
There are several devices for destroy.
ing the nests by mechanical means
twisting them out of the tree and de.
stroying them. A stiff, oonioal brush
may be used for this purpose and some
have used simply split stick.
The bulletin also says:
"A common method OF destroy ing
the tent in this State is to shoot it out
OF the tree, loading the gun with only
powder and wadding of paper. This
makes fun for the boys, aud is rather
expensive, but persons who have tried
it say that 1t is very effective. A |
friend in Potter county tells Us that he |
has successfully oombatted this pest
by sorubbing the forks containing the
tent. as well as the nest itself with a

ed lye, one pound boiled ten minutes
add warm water enough to make it /
the consistency of milk. apply 1t with
a rag or brush. or by any other means
to have it come into contact with the |
tent caterpillar. A teaspoonful of
kerosene on each nest will also kill |
the occupants. -

PHuA " READING R. r.
FRIENDS BUT HAD
NEVER met

"Hearst's Boston American OF rec
ent date contains a description of an
interesting romance in real life, which
had its origin in the Civil War and IN
which our townsman, r. w. Eggert,is
the central figure. The affair came 10
the attention of the Boston newspaper
through Mr.. Eggert's visit to Boston
on the occasion of the national en-
campment. The account reads:
The donation of comfort bag to
the Union soldiers during the OWL
war was the means of establishing
friendship between Charles H. Bullard
of No. Q, Richdale avenue, Somerville,
and Richard W Eggert at present
newspaper editor of Danville, Pa. The
men have corresponded but they have
never met and today Mr.. Bullard with
a photograph he had received from hls
friend and several letters written DUR
ing the Civil war was at the South
station eagerly scanning every face
beneath a Grand Army hat.
Il may know HIM from his picture,
said Mr.. Bullard, but he won t know
me because he never saw even a pct
ure of me. We have never met, yet
we feel like brothers. | would give
anything to meet him and entertain
him at my house. $"
Our readers will be interested to
know that the two fast friends who
had never come together before sue
oeeded in meeting during the enoamp-
ment. Richard missing Mr.. Ballard
ON arriving at Boston and being pro-
vided with the latter's address went
direct to his house and at the very
moment when the man was exciting
so much interest by his inquiries at
the station Mr.. Eggert was snugly
tucked away in bed in his friend 9
house taking nap.
Mr. Eggert still possesses the com
fort bag which fell into his hands III
1864, when he was an artilleryman IN
Battery f, Second Pennsylvania Art
ilIery, and which led to the friendship
between himself and Mr.. BulIard SO
oddly maintained during forty years
of their life. The bag is quite or,
namental in its way. the colors red,
white and blue predOminatlng Upon
being unfolded several little pockets
disclose themselves in which are still
that New England home so many years
ago to minister 70 the needs of the
boys in blue.
The comfort bag was made by the
mother of Charles Bullard who was
then only twelve years of age. The
bag was sent to the Sanitary or the
Christian Commission whence it fell
into Mr.. Eggert's hands. Commonly
the bags contained the names of the
maker, but in this case the little slip
of paper enclosed bore the name Of the
boy, Charles l.. Bullard.
Richard wrote to the lad and during
some time correspondence was kept
up but it was dropped before the close
of the war About nine years ago Mr.
Bullard became curious to know
whether his soldier friend had surviv-
ed the battles of the Civil War and if
so how he had Jared during the long
interval of thirty years following that
conflict
He accordingly wrote to the war de-
partment and with assistance from
that source traced Mr.. Eagert to Dan
Vile, when the correspondence was
renewed. The grand encampment at
Boston gave Mr.. Eggert an opportun-
ity to visit Mr.. Bullard.
