be enacted here as a result of its pro-
test to the mana cement of the Iron

berry of cars here, Special Agent Is
rael was sent here Friday morning
went to Constable Frank Stewart for
assistance in running down the rob-
bers. Constable Stewart called into
service Deputy Constable Francis, and
the three men went to work on the
case.
EARLY in the evening Israel repair
ed to the yards of the Iron Mountain
and crawled under a loaded freight
car. with a view to watching develop
ments. The car was standing on the
sidetrack at the corner of Fourth ave-
nue. and Mulberry street. He was in
hiding but a short time until three
negroes made their appearance. Bob
Green acted as watchman, while the
other two men approached the car
bent upon the intent of entering and
robbing the car of some of it's con-
tents, consisting of various kinds of
merchandise
AS the two negro men were forcing
open the car door with a view to en-
tering it, Mr.. Israel attempted to

and then proceeded to the home Of
his maternal uncle. Joshua Russell,
in Adams county. Soon he became
an assistant in the store OF John
Toms. at "Stony Batter In 1883 he
married Elizabeth Speer, and went
in business for himself.
James Buchanan's father was a
man of great ability, an omniverous
reader and a deep thinker. II 1896
he took his family into Mercersburg,
and James, then years old, studied
Latin and Greek and gained all his
instruction from local teachers until
he entered Dickinson, in 1907. and
graduated with the highest honors.
AT the age of 81 he was admitted
to the bar at Lancaster and from thSt
post rose steadily till he ultimately
attained the highest place eligible to
any American.
There are many reminders of Bu-
chanan in Mercersburg. The old
house occupied by his father is now
used as hotel and is so changed
that no one would ever know that it
had been the residence of father
and mother of future chief execu-
tive. Just opposite is the Lane house,
where Harriet Lane Johnson, the
beautiful and accomplished niece of
the president, who presided at the
White House during his term, was
born and lived.
But all these places pale in import
ance before the humble cabin in which
he was born, and every impulse of
American pride should actuate con-
gress to rescue it from its present
tenants for preservation as a nation

Many Excuses of
the Drunk Man

Five drunks, a sorry looking lot
of fellows were housed in Judge Muir
rays airy hotel recently. Tuesday
morning, Officer Strommen and the
judge, accompanied by an Independ-
ent reporter proceeded to the asylum
for the weary fellows and the judge
arousing them from their morning
sleep, filed them out one at a time
and giving them each bit of father
ly advice, sentenced them.
The first man to show up was one
Ryan. The judge proceeded: Ryan
you here. again. +. thought. l. told
you to go yesterday
God; bless. you, judge, so you did,
So you did, but I; got. out and. got a
couple OF drinks
80 you did, did you?"' the judge
interrupted. "Well, Ryan, you seem
to like the accommodations here so
we'll that I will give you 80 days
straight. and officer, see that he does
not get such good accommodations in
the future. Ryan likes the fare so
we'll, to-
mo, I don't yer honor, no I don't
Ryan went on. II had only two
drinks and they made me sick"
Another forlorn looking individual
was marched out. He looked like he
had been drunk for years.
$50 you are back, to, are you.
thought you told men you were go
ing to sober up and go to work?' the
Judge remarked.
$50 I did, yer honor, but took a
drink yesterday and got sick" The
Judge informed him that he would
get his sentence later, and was placed
in the cell with Ryan.
Frank Anderson told the following
story:
II bought ticket at Rugby for
Seattle but the conductor showed me
of at Minot. I bought bottle OF
rotten whisky at a drug store at Rug
by, and judge, that fixed me. must
have been half shot on the train, but
that bloke Of a conductor stole my
ticket" Anderson will work on the
street ten days
John Underdahl who was up before
the judge nine years ago, one year
ago last Sunday, was up again Tues
day. He will also spend ten days at
hard labor on the streets
Frank Hagen, boyish fellow was
filed up before the judge. He was
smooth shaver and presented a re-
spectacle appearance. Perhaps this
was the first time he had been drunk.
He looked like he might have a re-
spectacle mother somewhere-per-
haps in the east, who that very NOM
ent was worrying over an absent son.
Hagen hung his head. The judge
took pity on him and after a bit of
advice, let him go, hoping that he
would turn over a new leaf.
