St Petersburg, March 10.-St Peters
burg knows little more of the outcome
of the battle of Mukden than 1t knew
Wednesday night, and little more Of
the fate Of Gen. Kuropatkin's beaten
army. II is not even known whether the
railroad has been cut and commune
cations destroyed though 1t is believed
that the reported destruction of the line
by Gen. oku"s army refers to the dam
age inflicted on Wednesday, which was
not serious, though traffic was twice
interrupted.
1t is evident however, that the Jap
anese are pressing closer to this in
dispensable line of retreat Their shells
occasionally cut the wires of the tele-
graph lines paralleling the railroad
and civilian linemen are displaying no
less than their soldier associates by
climbing the poles and replacing the
wires under fire.

RECENT DEATHS.
CARN Err.

GARNER.
Mrs. Emma Rebecca Garner, wife of
Mr.. Abner b. Garner, died at Goodwill
Hill, Warren county, Pa, Sept. 18th,
1905, aged 40 years, month and q days.
Mrs. Garner was the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Hays, and was born in Farm
ington township, Clarion county, Pa,
June 18th, 1865, where she grew to wom-
anhood. On March 14tb, 1880, she was
united in marriage with Mr.. Garner, A
great part of their married life was spent
in Marienville, from which place they
removed three years ago to Durbin, w.
Va. For the past year she had been in
falling health, her illness being diagnosed
as diabetes. and about five weeks ago she
was brought to Goodwill Hill in the hope
that tho change would prove beneficial,
but it was of no avail and she passed
away as aboyo noted. During hor resi-
dence in Marienyille Mrs. Garner was
converted under the mnistrations of
Rev. X. M. Whitcomb, uniting with the
Free Methodist church, and her life was
that of consistent Chr stian. She is
survived by her husband, five sons and
one daughter. One daughter, Mrs. George
T.. McGarvey, died in Tionesta, July 18th,
1908. The remains were conveyed to her
childhood home, where the funeral SER
vices were held last Friday morning in
the Pennington Evangelical church,
known as the Hagan church, conducted
by Rev. r. NJ. Whltcomb, of Pleasant
vile. The interment was in tho church
cemetery near by.

Attempted HOld.Up and Horse Thieves.

On Tuesday night of last week as w.
G. Rodgers, of Tylersburg, agent for j..
w. Kerr Il Son, the monument firm, of
Oil City, was driving to his home, three
men attempted to hold him up at lonely
spot on the road near Tylersburg. Mr..
Rodgers had been to Tionesta and was
driving over dark piece of road known
as spine Hollow" Just beyond VIM.
Lewis and mile from Tylersburg, when
three men appeared at the side of the
road and commanded him to halt, one of
the men at the same time starting for the
horses head. Mr.. Rodgers paid no at
tention to the command but whipped up
his horse. which made jump and passed
the man who had started for its head.
AS the horse made the jump, three shots
were fired at Mr.. Rodgers by the mis-
creants, one of which passed through the
top of the buggy on the left side and
through Mr.. Rodgers derby hat. 1t was
a close call but he considers himself
lucky to escape as easily as he did. The
affair occurred about nine o'clock, when
it was very dark, and Mr.. Rodgers could
not recognize the highwaymen. Judg-
ing from this occurrence and the one
given below from the OIL City Derrick,
which occurred last week, hold-up men
and horse thieves are again becoming
perniciously active and it might be we'll
for the residents in that locality to un-
Timber their shot guns and get ready for
these chaps. Following close on the heels
of the Golinza store robbery, it looks as
though gang may be at work. The ar
ticle from the Derrick follows:
"a running fight between residents of
Clarion county in the vicinity of Lamar
tine and two horse thieyes is reported.
Rodney McCleary, one of the younger
members of we'll known Clarion family
of that name, was awakened by the bark
ing of his watch dog and made an inves-
tigation that resulted in his discovering
that bay horse owned by him had been
stolen from the barn. Mr.. McCleary
used the rural telephone line and soon
had posse of a half dozen of his neigh
bors at his home fully armed. Enough
dew had fallen through the night to
moisten the dust and in this the track of
the stolen horse and buggy were easily
seen. After chase of nearly eight miles
in the direction of Forest county the
stolen horse and vehicle were sighted and
the pursuing posse opened fire on the
two men in the buggy. This fire was re-
turned but the greater number of tho
pursuers being mounted ON horses took
chances and closed in on the men in front
who took advantage of a bend in the road
skirted by heavy timber, to leave the
buggy and take to the woods. The men
who were chasing them were afraid of
being ambushed and having secured tho
stolen property gave up the man hunt"

All But Drowned.

Sunday forenoon, shortly after eleven
o'clock, Kepler, the ll-year-old SON OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James d. Davis, came near
losing his life by drowning. With
number of other boys near his own age,
he had gone to the river bridge, where
the water is from ten to fifteen feet deep,
to take swim, some fiat boats moored
there forming a convenient and desirable
place for such purpose. Kepler was not
able to swim, but that fact didn't seem to
deter him from plunging in, and, hanging
onto the oar blades of the boats, all went
we'll for few moments until he lost his
hold and began to sink. Ralph, son of j.
T. Carson, somewhat younger than KEEP
Ter, who was a member of the party, and
quite an expert swimmer for one of his
age, jumped in TO rescue his companion,
and for time succeeded in keeping his
head above water, but the drowning boy
grasped Ralph by the hair and was drag
ging him down also, and the rescuer was
obliged to free himself to save his own
life. The excitement attracted other boys,
and young Earl Salsgiver sprang into a
boat and was able to reach Kepler just as
he was going under probably for the last
time, and drag him into the boat. 1t was
several minutes before he regained con-
sciousness after reaching the shore, but
after good deal of hustling by those who
had now reached the scene he was able to
don his clothing and walk home. 1t was
a hair-breadth escape, aud had young
Salsgiver lost one moment all would
have been over with the venturesome lad.
This ought to be warning to other boys
similarly inclined, but will it?

A Bit OF Local History.

At the Venango county centennial held
in Franklin last week many incidents
of local history were recalled by the old
residenters, and by far the most interest
ing and authentic was given in an address
by ex-Judge John s. McCalment. who is
still well remembered by many Of our
citizens. Among other interesting rem
lniscences he told the following:
"My grandfather, William Connely,
who was spectator when Judge Yeates
held court, told me that there was tried
at it an ejectment suit of Range VS.. Po-
land Hunter, Il think these are the
nsmes.) 1t was for an island at Tionesta.
Cornplanter, the famous Indian chief,
was witness. The contention was that
the island was part of the main land when
the settlement was made and was there
fore within the claim of the settler. And
here / may remark that actual settlers
east of the Allegheny river were entitled
to 400 acres, in reasonable shape, without
any survey, whilst on the west eide the
settler had to have, at the inception of
his settlement, a survey. The settlement
laws and the conflicting claims of settlers
and warrant holders made this branch of
the law OF much more Importance than
now and the study and practice of it made
the great land lawyers of that day. The
islands also in the Allegheny could not be
held by actual settlement, but were ac-
quired by application, appraisement and
purchase from the Commonwealth,
"Mr. Farrely, of Meadville, was coun-
sci for the client who claimed by settle
ment and that the land was not an island
| when the settlement was made. Corn
planter was witness for the opposite
party. When called, Farrely objected to
him, that he did not believe in aSupreme
Being and therefore was not competent as
a witness. An interpreter was sworn
truly to interpret and Cornplanter, being
questioned, replied that he believed in
the Great Spirit, who would punish him
if he would swear falsely. He was then
sworn as a witness In the case, and, on
being asked how long he had known the
land in dispute, he took a small boy from
the audience, indicating that he was oi
his age. He said it was when he was
with his tribe on an expedition to fight
the Cstawbas. They encamped for the
night Oh this island, which he said was
an island then as now. Mr.. Farrely
cross-questioned, and more than once
trying to shake his evidence, asked him /
he was sure it was an island. Cornplantel
got angry and stormed. Judge Yeate'
asked the interpreter what the matter wa'
with him. Cornplanter said he was al
Indian, but when he said thing once ht
thought it was enough, but here was ar
intelligent white lawyer who made hin
repeat over and over, as if he doubted hi
word"
We may add further to this bit of histo
ry that Poland Hunter won the suit anC
remained in possession of the island un
til his death, when it passed into tht
hands of his son, the late William Hun
ter, who disposed of it at a fabulous sun
during the great "oil excitement of '65
1t is still known as "Hunter's island,
but is growing beautifully less from yea
to year.
