MMISSIONERS ARE
HAILED INTO COURT

John Beck, George ". Raudenbush
and Allen W. COuner, the County Com
miSsiouers of Nortlumbcrland county,
/ who have so persist emily refused to
/ carry out the Courts ORDER in relation
/ to the building of the approach 10 the
/ river bridge on the South side, have
| been haled into court at Sunbury.
/ Acting upon the request of his con-
/ Stituents, Bruce McCracken, Constable
of Gearhart township, in his return to
| Court, Tuesday, requested that the
above named County Commissioners
| be indicted and tried on the charge
! of maintaining nuisance at River
side, of negligence and of failure to
do their duty.
The condition of the approach at the
South side and the attitude Of the
County Commissioners toward the i'm
provement as ordered by the Court has
been the cause of much complaint dur
ing all summer. On the strength of
the Constable's return, Judge Auten
on Tuesday directed the District At
torney to present bill of Indictment
| to the Grand Jury.
1t was thought that the Indictment
would be presented yesterday morning
and a number of witnesses went down
to Sunbury on the a. M. train. Not
withstanding that a night session was
held Tuesday the District Attorney
was unable to reach the Indictment
relating to the approach yesterday an
the witnesses came home on the 2 :2l
train. The bill will he presented to
the Grand Jury this morning and the
same witnesses-P. G. Baylor, y. r.
Smith, ID. r. Eckman, p. f. StaItzel,
Oliver Hoover and David Unger-will
GO down to Sunbury on the 9 a. NJ.
train today to give in their testimony.
The Attorney for the Commission
ers appeared in court and admitted
that they have the approach to build.
The witnesses do not think they will
have any difficulty in establishing the
fact that the approach. said to be one
of thirty-fve degrees, is difficult and
dangerous one, which during the win
ter when ice and snow become a factor
TO contend with will be we'll nigh i'm
passable Aside from the difficult grade
the approach carrying as it does the
track of the Danville aud Sunbury
Street Railway Company, is cramped
and in generally bad condition An
accident is likely to occur on the spot
at almost anv time.
The law is said to- be very clear and
is we'll established in the case of Penn
Tow nsIip VS.. Perry County, rs Pa.
State Report. If conviction follows
the Commissioners may be fined. At
all events thoy will have to build the
approach or be ousted

BALKY HORSE
BACKS HOME

A balky horse maintained in conneo-
tion with a business place recently
opened in this city distinguished him
self by performance yesterday which
cast far into the shade the antics of
any other balky horse that ever held
forth in this section.
The animal is a grey, healthy able
bodied specimen that does not differ
from any other grey horse. With q
small load of goods a boy connected
with the establishment Yesterday fore
noon started to drive over to South
Danville. The horse didn't want to
60, but after many halts ana by dint
of much cOaxing the outfit got as far
as the court house.
Here the horse stopped and refused
to go in any other direction than back
ward. The boy used the whip, and
then got out and tried to lead the
horse but it was the same old thing.
The animal wanted to go home and
seemed to understand that he would
get there by backing. The boy tried
to prevent this and turned the horse
toward the curb. Still the horse back
ed aud the wagon being of the plat
form sort it was easily turned and the
horse was half of the time looking
homeward.
Time and again some kind hearted
and disinterested person came to the
boys assistance and got the horse
headed in the right direction. The
animal could be induced to take about
two steps forward when he stopped
short and with a sullen vicious look
repeated the process of backing around
in circle.
All the time he was getting on fur
ther and further down the street and
in the course of an hour and a half he
had retraoed his way as far as the
canal culvert
At this juncture the Chief Of Police
took the matter in hand Stepping up
he took hold at the bit. To the grey
horse, however, al men looked alike.
He took two steps forward and then
spun around in a ring three times like
top taking the man in blue uniform
along with him.
The boy explained. Said he: 1--WE
bought the horse over the river The
man said he wouldn't balk and he
wouldn't do nothin' and he gave us
certificate that he oulan't."
As the town clock strkck l2 the boy
gave up the fight and drove back to
the business place.

made special arrangements for the

service has been extended and, as
heretofore, it will report all impor-
tant events promptly, accurately and

Cardigan" by Robert W. Cham
bers; Before The Dawn" by JOS
eph A. Altsheler. "The Reds of
the Midi" by Felix Gras. "The
Cardinals Rose" by Van Tassel
Sutphen. 1.-The Blazed Trail" by
Stewart Edward White.

lar subscription price is only Sl.00

newspaper and the Democrat to-
gether one year for s2.l5. The
