Roodmaster Bonnet and Son
 drowned,

DIO W nSus
 A very sad accident occurred at Gilbert Sunday morning which cost William Bennett, roadmaster for the Mo. 6 N. A. R. R. from Harrison east, and his son Cord on, their lives.
 Particulars of the affair have been hard to obtain but from re . ports received by wire here it seems that young Bennett, a young MT. Lopp of Harrison and a son of pr. Kirby of Harrison were bathing in Buffalo when the Bennett boy got beyond his depth. The father, seeing the danger of his sons position, went to his rescue and both were drowned.
 The bodies were recovered from the river about noon Sun- day. They were taken to Selig- man, the former home of the Bennett's for burial.
 Mr. Bennett had been made roadmaster east of Harrison for this road a few weeks ago. His home was at Cassville, Mo-, be- fore he was connected with the M. 6 N. A.
 One of the Cassville papers contained a very complimentary notice of him at the time of his promotion to the position which he held at the time of his death. His son Gordon was about six teen years old.

That Law Against Drunkenness.

naI Law Against DTHuheHHSSs
 The publication of the law re- gently enacted against drunken ness in last weeks TRIBUNE has caused a great deal of comment and inquiry, both by those who may be affected by the operation of the new law and by those who are opposed to the liquor traffic.
 The law admits of a wide con. struction and even an attempt at it's enforcement means that there is going to be something doing in our courts along this line here- after.
 The law provides that any per- son who may appear at any pie. nic, barbecue, childrens day service, Sunday school celebra- tion, literary society or on any train in the state, in a drunken or intoxicated condition, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and fined in any sum not less than five nor more than twenty five dollars, together with all cost accuring on account of such prosecution.
 This does not mean that one has to be so boisterous as to cre- ate a disturbance. The mere "appearance" is sufficient. Any disturbance of the peace would constitute separate offense. The law makes it the duty of any peace officer to arrest violaters of the law then and there, but if such is not done the offender may be indicted before the grand jury by any person who may happen to see any one intoxicated on such occasion.
 The matter will no doubt be made a subject of special inquiry before the future grand juries, and persons who may be called before the jury for any other purpose will be asked to report any violations of this character
 There is no doubt but that the law will meet with rigid en- forcement. Where indictments are lodged in such cases the prosecuting attorney will be al- lowed the usual fee for convic- ton or even in case of plea of guilty, and it is needless to say that the public prosecutor and his numerous deputies will be on the alert [, secure all the evil dence of such violations possible.
 The sure way to avoid trouble along this line is to cut out drink ing on such occasions at least The TRIBUNE thus sounds this note of warning that all who are contemplating little fourth of July ''toot" may have due and timely notice and govern them selves accordipg

County, Pa. TO a certificate stating that
he was worth $4,000. in order to become
president Of the Premier silk Company,
of Philadelphia The certificate also bore
the seal OF the State OF Pennsylvania,
which he is said also to have forged.
Small arrived in Frederick Thursday.
and at once sought employment on the
farm. His intelligence Indicated that he
was above the general run OF farm labor
The day following he was located here
and yesterday Detective Wegman and
Constable Butz. OF Philadelphia, came 10
Frederick and his arrest followed. He
consented to accompany the officers TO
Philadelphia without extradition papers.

members OF the firm are endeavoring to
make him responsible for the company s
liabilities
According 10 his story. he contracted
with F. y. Clifford and T. w Smith. vice
president and treasurer Of the Premier

that he was able 10 live up TO the con-
tract he had made. he produced an aft
davit from the Franklin County Court
showing that he had property valued at

affidavit from his brother. who is dep

he decided to get out altogether.

hearing Of the case in police court next
Thursday. None of the Greeks is under
arrest.
All Of the wrecked places had their
windows curtained up early to-day, and
the proprletOrs set TO work cleaning out
the debris, making ready to open again
