W. j. Harley, a desperate char
actor, who has been wanted BY the
authorities in Dorchester county for
some time past, was shot and almost
instantly killed last Saturday night
in Harleyville by G. G. Parler.
The killing occurred at the home
Of Mr.. Parler, and from the reports
from that section was unavoidable
Harley had been causing no little
disturbance in the town Of Harley
vile all the afternoon, and had beat
en- a negro unmercifully at the point
of a pistol, and then fred at him and;
almost hitting several bystanders.3
Harley came down to the house OF
Mr.. C. C. Parler, cursing and declar-
ing that he was going to kill him..
He entered the yard and started for
the piazza, when Mr.. Parler called:
to him not to come in the house
Harley did not heed the warning,
and within a few seconds, Mr.. Par.
|ler realized that Harley was intent
on coming in, and inorder to protect
himself, his family and home, he fir
ed at Harley, the load entering his
side. Harley reeled and fell down
the steps dead.
Mr.. Parler then gave himself up
and was lodged in Jail. 81.
Harley was a bad character, he..
having been a terror to the people Of
that section. About year or so ago
he stabbed a young white man but
succeeded in escaping He was tried
in his absence, however, and the clerk !
of the court of Dorchester county
has now a sealed verdict await

Mr.. Mills has never taken the public into his
confidence to the details Of the success Of the
hotels from the financial point Of view but il
may be stated that a matter OF fact they have
returned slightly more than per cent on The

Team Runaway.

j. D. Woodring & Son, grocers, have
spirited team of bay horses for deliv-
cry work, and while the team is not
wild or hard to manage, yet If they are
not watched carefully they will take a
run when left standing without driver
or being tied. Saturday morning they
were hitched to the delivery wagon and
the driver stepped into the barn for
something and that was their oppor-
tunity to get away. They ran down
the hill from barn, down Pike st., up
Main st. and down Fourth ST., turned
around at B.. r. & p. freight station
and stopped. They ran at wild speed
but made all turns as nice as il being
driven and when they stopped the little
spring wagon was not greatly damaged.
A bent axle and twisted spring was
about all the damage done to it. 1t is
remarkable how the team made the rup
and tuned corners without smashing
the wagon to pieces.

STATE ROADS IN WINSLOW.
Petition Circulated to Get Public High
way Commissioner to Make
Change,

The state engineer has made survey
from Reynoldsville borough line to
Clearfeld county line above Rathmel, a
distance of four miles, as requested by
the supervisors, for state road. The
money has been appropriated and the
road was to have been built this year.
An effort is now being made, and pc
tition circulated, to get the Public
Highway department to only build the
road from borough line to Rathmel, a
distance Of two miles instead of four,
and build the other two from West
Reynoldsville borough line to Sandy
Valley, two miles, making four miles in
the township as arranged for, but in
stead of making it in one stretch, as
originally asked for and intended, d.

of Franklin, County Commissioners
Kelley and McGaw, of Brookville, and
Supervisors Norris, Wood and Mulhol-
Ian held conference at this place last
Thursday evening and Friday, but did
not settle the matter. 1t was referred
to the Highway Department to give an
opinion on the requested change.
There are different reports concern
ing this matter and-consderabl feeling

Nolan Park Getting Ready.

The management of Nolan Park is
making great preparations for the
grand Harvest Home Picnic and Car
niyal to be held there August IA, 10, 16
and 18th, 1907. This park is located on
the p. S. e. G. r. r. about midway be-
tween Clarion and Brookville, ana at
this season OF the year is one OF the
most beautiful places in this part OF the
state.
One of the leading attractions, which
has been secured only with great diff
Guilty, is the celebrated diving horses
'King" and "Queen." The expense Of
securing these horses alone will be
almost thousand dollars. They make
dive from a scaffold fifty feet high
into twenty feet OF water. The horses
walk up the scaffold and make the dive
freely without q word of direction from
anyone. This one feature is worth
going a hundred miles to see, and is
absolutely free, the performance being
given each afternoon and evening dur
ing the Carnival. In addition there
will be probably dozen other equally
good attractions, and there is no ques-
tion but that it will be the biggest
event held in Western Pennsylvania
this year.
II is estimated there will be at least
$4,000 people in attendance this year
and to handle this immense crowd ar
rangements are being made by which
special through trains will be runfbe-
tween Reynoldsvllle, Brookville, New
Bethlehem and Nolan Park These
special trains, the schedules for which
will be announced latter, will be run in
addition to the regular trains, and dur
| ing the Carnival 30 passengers trains
will arrive and depart from the park
daily. There will be excursion rates
between Dubois, East Brady, Clarion
and all intermediate points, to Nolan
Park.
Among the prominent speakers will
be State Treasurer William H. Berry,
who will make an address in the grove
at 10 O'Clock o. m. Thursday, August
Is, and it is very probable Hon. Joseph
G. Cannon, Speaker of the House OF
Representatives of the United States,
will be present at least one day.
