The Burgess at Butler sent a man to
Jail for FIVE days for inducing another
who had been sober for six months to
break over and go on spree. His
Honor ought to have made it five years.
OF all the displcable, low-down characters
that walk the earth, those who tempt n
weak fellowman to break over when he
is trying his level best to do right are the
meanest. -Freeport Journal. Yes, and
next to this fellow comes the one who
will buy liquor for the man who is shut
off at all the bars. We have many such
here, and they seldom get into the laws
clutches, principally because of their
sneaking characteristics. More's the
pity.-Franklin News. Has Tionesa
any of this kind? Has she?
Just what we claimed; had President
Roosevelt come to Forest county, instead
of piking away down into the louisiana
canebrokes, he'd have had a better time,
less trouble and expense, and secured a
mighty sight nicer bear. Last week
Harry Mcdowell, of Reno, went into
camp out near the old Porter farm, in
Howe township, eight miles from Marien-
vile, between the head waters of Blue
Jay and the branches of Salmon creek.
On Wednesday, after following the trail
of bear few hours he came upon the
chap, and with one shot from his Win
chester bruin lay corpse at his feet. He
was fine fellow, weighing nearly 300
pounds and trolling fat" That's the
kind we propagate up here.
Local parties, who are taxpayers in
Cranberry Township, have complained to
State Highway Commissioner Hunter,
at Harrisburg, about the substitution of
galvanized corrugated steel in place of
cast iron pipes for culverts and drains
along the state road in the vicinity of
Salem. 1t is claimed the specifications
call for cast iron pipes which are said to
be more lasting than the comparatively
thin stuff with the ridges and grooves.
Any person who has driven over the
must have noted the shell-like stuff being
utilized and wondered thereat. Possibly
this is a matter to which the County Com
missioners should give some attention.
oil City Blizzard. This we believe, is
the kind of culvert material used in all
roads which the state assists in building,
and it is claimed answers the purpose as
well as cast iron.
Three Oil City men, James Austin,
Henry Stoddard and John Camp, partici-
pated in the slaughter of wildcat in
Forest county on Friday night. The Oil
City men, together with Harry Smell, of
Franklin, have been painting the count
house at Tionesta and accepted the invi-
tation of Charles Weaver and Robert
Stroup to go "coon hunting" After a
short chase the young men treed coon
and had little difficulty in bagging 1t.
The trail of another animal was soon
found by the dogs and the beast took
refuge in the top of a tall chestnut tree.
Aiming at its eyes, which reflected the
light of the torches carried by the hunt
ers, Stroup wounded it with a small cali
bre rifle and the 'coon" fell to the
ground, where it was killed by the dogs.
1t was not until after it gave up its life
that the hunters discovered that it was a
wildcat.-Derrick. Since the boys got
their bounty for the cat "sculp" it is
scarcely worth while to note that it was
the longest tailed wildcat eyer bagged in
this neck o. woods.
