Mr.. Editor: The Capital City
is rather quiet at present. How
ever, the base ball season is open
and the fans and fana-belles are
very much interested in the Col
umbia team. The game cocks
have plucky team, and although
they do not stand at the top,
they are not discouraged but
still working. 'Tis too soon to
prophesy as to the final result,
but if Jay Kauzler's men do not
win the pennant it will not be
because of lack of pluck, unless
they lose interest later on in the
season. Let all Lancaster fans
root for Columbia.

Owner Falls Victim to CoWardice OF
Animal When Latter Is Attacked
by acknowledgement with
Shot.

Trout Run, Pa-Hardiy could hard
er luck befall mankind, or one more
usual than to which George Steigle
man, of the Sugar Camp end of Rose
Valley, fell a victim a few days ago.
Steigleman early in the season, when
his buckwheat was in blossom, had
trailed bee to its lair about two
miles over the hill from his place,
near the head of the Sugar Camp tim
Der. He found that the swarm had
lived in leaning oak, about 81 feet
from the ground, in a generous open
ing caused by the falling out of a rot
ted limb The number of bees al
work showed to him that the hive
was a large swarm, and nearly all OF
them appeared to be working on his
buckwheat.
y few days ago carrying 50pound
lard can and his doube-barreled shot
gun, and accompanied by small
spaniel, Mr. Steigleman started to
harvest the honey The tree was an
easy one of ascent, but because of the
location of the opening in which the
swarm We're hived he had difficulty in
applying the sulphur fire used by him
to destroy the bees so that he might
proceed unmolested and unstung to
rob the hive.
He had rested his gun on the
ground, the muzzle leaning against
small sapling. While engaged at
smoking out the bees his attention
was attracted to the spaniel, down
on the ground, which seemed TO be
terribly wrought up over something,
and was barking and growing for
dear life
Steigleman thought the dog might
be putting up bluff at a bear, but he
could see nothing so he resumed his
honey gathering He had succeeded in
more than half filing his lard can,
when suddenly the dog again set up a
terrible ado. This time Steigleman
saw what the trouble was. A pair
of raccoons that had been nosing
