The Tubbs Run road case, final
hearing in which was had before the
viewers at the court house last Thursday,
was disposed of in manner which seems
to he satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The main objection TO the relocation of
the road. that is, TO building 1t on the
north side of the run a distance of fifty
rods, was the heavy cost in making
deep cut in steep bluff. This point was
disposed Of by T. d. Collins, one of the
viewers, agreeing to pay all cost above
six dollars rod, and wrok on the new
road will likely begin as soon as weather
conditions are favorable.
j. j. Landers' lost hound dogs came
home last week, one on Tuesday and the
other Wednesday. The dogs have estab-

be hard to beat. They started fox at
six O'Clock Saturday night out on Little
Tionesta creek and never gave up the
chase until the fox was shot Tuesday
afternoon on the river hill across from
town. During the chase they crossed
the river on the ice and were heard at
various places. When it is considered
that the youngest dog is only nine months
old and that this was his first time on the
trail. the record is remarkable one.
