After short deliberation a jury of
Elk county men at Ridgway found James
Ryan guilty of attempting to kill train
crew on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
trial was exceedingly interesting and
much expert testimony was employed.
A railroad detective, in testifying that
glycerine and the fuses found on Ryan's
person were burglars instruments.
When asked how he knew that this was
true the witness stated that he followed
such work for two years about 20 years
ago. 1t will be remembered that train
crew was just about to put Ryan, alias
Cy Tuna, off the train when he dropped
bottle OF nitro-glycerine which exploded
and manned four of the train crew and
blew the clothes off Ryan, not injuring
him in the least. The engineer of the
train had his leg torn off.-Kane Repub-
lican. Ryan was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary.
Five young lads of Marienyille of
tender age, who have been assiduous
readers of the "bIood and thunder" lit
erature of the nickel variety, made up
their minds that their homes furnished
too narrow field for persons of their
talent, culture and ability and they de-
cided to run away and get out where they
could have chance to win fame by con-
quering the world and fetching it back
home by the tail says the Clarion Demo-
crat. Among them they got possession
of S65 and this seems to have been divided
among them. Two of the party when the
test came, backed out, but the other three
got to Clarion and were ready to leave
for the "wild and woolly west" but un-
fortunately they were overtaken at Clar-
ion by ex-sheriff Bowman, who took
care of them and returned them to their
homes. 1t is hoped their experience will
tide them over that craze and that they
will get better reading in the future.

Capt. VIM. McCann, who will make
his home at Nebraska this winter, was a
pleasant caller at the REPUBLICAN office
Monday, and was feeling quite jubilant
over the manner in which Uncle Sam had
treated him of late, in the increase of his
quarterly pension voucher. But his
greatest joy was occasioned by little
incident that happened just a few days
ago. Some years ago his attention was
