Published reports to the effect that a
bill had passed the legislature making the
open season for phesssnts from Nov. 10
to Dec. /, only 10 days, is incorrect. No
such proposition is before the legislature.
There is bill pending which proposes to
make October 1st the opening day for
phessants, but its chances of passage are
quite uncertain. October lst to Decem.
her lst would make an ideal season for
this section, as the winter reaches the
northern and eastern part of the state two
weeks earlier than in the district east OF
the mountains. The proper time for
hunting pheasants and woodcock is in

Saturday w. B. Ishman, of Barnett
township, was caller at the REPUBLICAN
office, having returned from visit at the
oil City hospital, where his son, Norman,
is being treated for very serious injuries
received on the 3lst ult. On that day the
young man was getting out rig timber
near Rocklsnd station, on the Allegheny
Valley railroad, and was transporting
the heavy stick of timber over the rail-
road tracks when the rope, which was
being used to let the stick down steep
hillside, broke and the timber rolled upon
him, pinning him to the ground. 1t was
necessary to do this work on Sunday so
as not to interfere with the running OF
the trains. When brought to the hospi-
tai the young man was placed in the
care of DIR. j. C. O'Day, who found his
chest badly caved in and the ribs press
ing hard upon the lungs. When Mr..
Ishman left his son the physician thought
he would recover, but that an operation
might have to be performed to relieve the
pressure, which he believed the patient
would be able to undergo without serious
results.
