ELI SHORE DEAD.
Stricken with NeuraIgia Of the Heart Last
Friday Night, and Died In q Few Hours.

Eli E. Shore, Esq, well known
in this county, died at his home
IN Shore Valley, Huntingdon
county, December 10, 1904, aged
62 years, 9 months and 25 days.
Funeral at Oak Grove on the 18th
Rev. A. s. Wolf officiating, and
lnterment was made IN the Shore
Valley cemetery, which is situat-
ed on the farm on which Mr..
Shore was horn.
Squire Shore, as he was famil-
iarly known, was born, and spent
his entire life in Shore Valley,
and was one of the Valleys most
useful citizens. Being a man OF
strong intellect and sound judg-
ment, and having a wide scope of
general information, his counsel
was frequently sought, and could
always be followed with safety.
For period of thirty years he
served as justice of the peace, and
for a longer period, that of school
director. He was, also, agent for
the Lurgan Fire Insurance Com.
pany, and president of the Shore
Valley Telephone Company,
whose line has just been complet

Mr.. Shore was for many years

there as elsewhere.

MERCERSBURG TERRORIzED
One Of Her Citizens, Filled with Bad
Whiskey Turned Himself Loose on the
Town With a Wicked Gun.
JOHN B. KREPS SHOT IN THE FACE.

McConnellsburg is not the only
town that does things. 1t seems
that our nelghbor Mercersburg
had an experience last Friday
night, the memory of which will
remain fresh in the minds Of her
people for many moons to come.
The star actor in the perform
ance was AlbertHo a young
married man. and the owner of a
good farm. Albert had reached
the anniversary of his twenty.
first birthday and felt that cele.
bration was in order.
During the earlier part of the
evening, Marshall Darrach, a
popular Shakespearean reclter,
had given the ''Twelfth Night
at the Academy, and Albert had
been down street tanking up.
Armed with a double barreled
shot gun and pockettul of shells
Albert opened the street perform
ance just as Liveryman John B.
Kreps was conveying Mr.. Dar-
rach in a surrey from the Acad.
emy to his hotel.
In front of Hoffedltz's house on
Main street, Kreps heard the or
der to stop, but did not obey,
when Hoffeditz fired both bar.
rels of his gun at the surrey. One
of the shot passed through Mr..
Darrach's hat; others struck the
llveryman in the face and two
doctors were busy for an hour
picking the missiles from his
head. He bled profusely. Mr..
Darrach, realizing. his plight,
drove to the hotel. His overcoat
was ruined by the blood from
Kreps's wounds.
HOffeditz continued his wild
work on the streets and in the
northern section of the town there
was scarcely an incandescent
light that was not shattered by
shot from his gun. He had ped.
estrlans on the run and no time
was lost by them in seeking plac-
es of safety. At the Academy he
tiredinto the windows and against
the walls, doing considerable
damage.
That the people were in great
fear is shown by the conduct of
those who took refuge in the no.
tel. Each time there was a noise
outside the hostlery the inmates
crouched as though trying to es-
cape the volley expected through
the door.
Charged with aggravated as
sault and battery, Mr.. Hoffedltz
was arrested on Saturday even
ing and held over for trial. 1t is
SAID that he heard the warrant
read without any display of feel
ing, knowing that he had been
guilty of gross misconduct, and
doubtless awaiting the iron grasp
If the law. Hoffeditz, usually, is
peaceable, but his actions while
on the warpath on Friday night
when he did damage to property
and narrowly missed killing two
men, demonstrated what a liquor
crazed man may do.

THREATENED RACE RIOT.
Sheriff Graham Repairs to the Scene
and Finds Things Quiet.

News reached us here last
Thursday of a threatened race
riot at Rheims, in. the lower part
of the county near the George
town line. It seems that on
I Wednesday of last week, in an
alteration between white en-
ployee of the Messrs Rhem and
a negro laborer, the latter was
pretty roughly handled and at
first was thought to be severely
injured. Other negroes took it
up and threatened vengeance,
although the circumstances
make it appear that the punish
ment inflicted was amply justi-
fable. On being notified of the
trouble Sheriff Graham prompt
ly went to the scene, but found
that the excitement had subsi-
ded and things resumed their
normal quiet.
The negro, whose head was
reported broken, had only a
scalp wound or two, which are
now not considered serious.
AS a rule the negro race is ex-
citable and emotional, being
quick to take the part of one of
his color without waiting to in
vestigate the merits of the case,
when ofttimeS, after the excite
ment passes and his calmer
judgment resumes sway, he
finds that his threats of venge-
ance were not based on sufic-
lent grounds. When he keeps
his place and conducts himself
properly, the negro has no bet
ter friend than the Southern
white man.

Benson Briefs.
Written for last week..

BENSON, June 1S.-Rev H F
Oliver has been called to the
pastorate of Cedar Grove church
for the rest of this year. He
will hold services on the 4th
Sunday, the 26th inst.
On Monday, the 6 inst, Mr. D
w Courtney killed a monster
rattle-snake, which measured
eft and q inches long and had
13 rattles.
Cedar Grove public school has
closed and Miss jamie Perkins,
the principal, has departed,
much to the regret of her nu-
merous admirers.
Mr. Sam Mccullough is home
from the South Carolina College
to spend his vacation.
Refreshing showers have glad
dened the hearts ofthe farmers.
Crops are doing we'd, Corn is
fine in some places and gener-
ally a full cropis expected. Cot
ton is irregular in islands," as
a great proportion of the crop
had to be replanted, which will
make the crop late in maturing.
Mrs Stanley Burch, who has
been spending some time with
her parents near Benson, has
returned to her home in Flor
enCe.
Benson can boast of two pub
lie schools, both of which are
well patronized. Now that gra
ded schools are in order why not
get together and take in scope
of country say 2! miles each
way from a central point and
form a special school district.
With a small extra tax a graded
scheol would be assured. |
merely offer this as suggestion,
but hope the people will take
some steps in this direction and
by next session we may have d
first class school in operation.
