The luck of oil we'll shooters is proven
bisl, but an accident occurred this morn
ing that puts in the clear any similar
affair of the kind that ever occurred in
this neighborhood. Herbert Stroud, a
shooter employed by the Clarendon Tor
pedo Company, this morning drove to the
magazine, situated some distance from
Clarendon, and put on two cans of gly-
cerine and box of fdynsmite. The horses
then took fright and ran away. The gly-
cerine was thrown out and hole broken
in one can, the top was knocked of an
other, and both cans became empty by
the contents leaking out on the ground.
The dynamite also was thrown out of the
wagon and none ofthese exploded. War

A gruesome discovery was made near
Clymer N. Y, late Tuesday afternoon,
Nov. 9TH, by Myron Maxwell, who was
hunting and passed through Brownell's
woods, where he came upon the skeleton
of a man. So Mortified was Max xwell
when he made the discovery he hastened
back to town without making an investi-
CATION. He notified Undertaken Damon,
who went with the Coroner and others to
the woods and removed the bones to Cly-
mer. With the exception of a signet ring
and badge bearing the number of a
Pittsburg lodge of the A. o. U. W. there
was nothing to furnish clew as to the
identity of the man. Several papers lay
near the body, but they were so badly
crumbled that nothing could be made
out. A jack knife and two cents were
also found. 1t is thought the man died
two or three years ago, but the Coroner
will make an effort to locate relatives by
the aid of the lodge pin. The body lay
face downward and was partially covered
with moss.
David Bish, who is lodged in the Arm
strong county jait charged with the kill
ing of Newton Reddinger, aged IL, at
Oak Ridge Halloween night, stoutly de-
nies that he did the shooting, and his
family and quite a lumber of friends are
doing everything in their power to gel
him clear of the scrspe. At the Inquest
the coroner's jury came to verdict that
the dead man had come to his death by
being shot with gun in the hands oI
| David Bsh and this together with the
fact that he was once before jailed on the
charge of beating his wife, goes pretty
strongly against him. A number o.
witnesses at the inquest swore positively
that Bish had fired the fatal shot. The
funeral of the dead boy was held last
Sunday and it was one of the most large
ly attended ever held in New Bethlehem
-Kittanning News. The victim of the
shooting was nephew of the late Jscot
Swartz, Pinoak, near Oil City.
