Reports come to us that last Thurs
day night, while James Holden and Ralph
Mcintyre were going up Swager Run to
go on tour, panther or some other wild
varmint, got on their trail, and the men
not having their artillery with them, they
went on to Fagundus. Perhaps here IL a
chance for some of our valiant hunters
and dogs. However, we guess the most
of our dogs are chicken or scrap meat
dogs. .-Tidioute News. This is probably
the same animal that was seen on Jam
ieson and Hunter Runs last winter. At
any rate the beast seems TO have disap-
peared from this neck O. the woods.
Charles Whitelock, a former resident
of Msrenville, but now of Hendricks, w.
Va, where he conducts hotel, passed
through Tionesta Saturday evening, hav-
ing in charge the corpse of his young
brother, George Briggs, aged about l6
years, who was drowned in a mill-pond
at Hendricks on THU sday last. The boy
was playing on the logs about the pond
when he fell into the water, and although
men we're at work near by he was
drowned before they could reach him.
The lads folks live near Muzette, on the
road to Marienville, to which place the
body was conveyed Saturday evening by
undertaken James Haslet, and the burial
took place at 10 o'clock Sunday morning,
An old ordinance that has been a
"dead letter" since it was passed in 1898,
providing for the muzzling of dogs in the
borough from June lst to October 1st, and
which the burgess and high constable in
sisted should be enforced, was repealed
by unanimous vote of the borough
council on Friday evening last. The
borough dads acted promptly in the mat
ter in Difference to the wishes of large
majority OF the citizens who had petit
toned for the repeal, and who, with the
council, looked upon the humane side of
the question. 1t would seem that if there
were anything that would have tenden-
cy to drive poor dog mad it would be 10
muzzle him in the hottest months of the
year.

State executive board. George w. Rob-
inson, of Capt. Stow Post, was for the
fourth time elected delegate to the ma
tional encampment of the G. A. R., which

She was elected without opposition.
