Once More the Game Season.

So many muddled accounts of the open
season for game have found their way
into the newspapers, hardly any two be-
ing the same, that hunters have gotten
badly mixed, hence we again give the
proper dates herewith together with
number of each species of game which a
single hunter may take. The list may be
depended upon as correct; in other words,
when you see it in the REPUBLICAN it's
so:
Blackbirds, doves and shore birds, bag
unlimited, September | to January l..
Bear, unlimited, October l to March /.
Deer, male with horns, one a season,
November 10 TO December l. English,
Mongolian or Chinese pheasant, 8 in one
day, 20 in one week and 80 in one season,
October l5 to December |. Grouse, COM
moply called pheasant, five in one day,
20 in one week or 80 in one season, Octo-
ber to December /. Hare or rabbits,
Quail, 10 in one day, 40 in one week or
70 in one season, November only. Wild
turkey, one in day, four in sesson,
October 10 to December |. Woodcock, 10
in one day, 20 in one week or so in one
season, October to December /, Squir-
rel, fox. black or gray,) six of all kinds
in one day, October l to December l.
Web-footed wild fowl, OF all kinds, un-
limited. September to April 10. Snipe
Jack or Wilson, unlimited, September
l to May l. Plover, unlimited, July Is
to December |.
Many sportsmen think spring shoot
ing should be entirely abolished in all
states, and concerted effort will be
made at the next session of congress to
have passed bill, drawn by George
Shirss III, of Pittsburg, to place all mi
gratory wild fowl under federal control
aud to stop spring slaughter, while birds
are on their way to breeding grounds.
This would be wise and just thing to do.

Collins VS.. Clough Ejectment Suit.

The jury in the ejectment suit which at
tracted so much interest, and which lasted
full week in its trial, reached verdict
at o'clock on Thursday morning, after
being out all night, in favor ofthe defend
ants, l.. S. Clough and others. This is
the most important action in ejectment
ever heard in Forest county, and perhaps
IN Western Pennsylvania for many years.
The case involves the title of about five
hundred acres of valuable timber land in
Kingsley and Ho we townships, and arises
from an interference of the original sur
veys made in the year 1894, between
what are known as the Mead warrants
and what are known as the Mifflin war
ronts. The question in this case hinges
on the priority of the Mead surveys, and
the location of the original Mead line,
running northeast and southwest. The
plaintiffs. known as the Watson Lands
Lumber Company, consisting of 7. ID.
Collins, f. X. Kreitler, f. X. Brown and
w. w. Dickey, of this county, are the
owners of warrant 5266, of the Mead sur
veys, and the defendant, l.. S. Clough, of
Warren, is the owner of Mead warrant
52S2, and Mifflin warrants 5101 and 5l04.
All of these tracts were laid upon the
ground in the year 1894, when all of this
part of the country was vast wilderness,
and it is conlended part of the Miffiin
surveys overlap the lines of the Mead
surveys, The testimony was very COM
plicated and large force of lawyers and
surveyors have been working on the case
for over two years past. His honor,
Judge Frank J. Thomas, of Crawford
county court, presided at the trial of the
case, and his rulings were considered
very fair and impartial to all concerned.
The plaintiffs were ably represented by
Thomas II. Murray, Esq, of Cleartield,
Pa, one of the leading land lawyers ofthe
state of Pennsylvania; A. l.. Cole, OF Du-
Bois, Pa; C. u. Gordon, of Brook vile,
Pa, and Ritchey IL Carringer, of Tionesta,
Pa. The defense was conducted by d. /.
Ball, w. d. Hickey and W. E. Rice, of
Warren, and A. G. Brown, of Tionesta.
Owing to the advance in the price of tim
ber there is said to be from one hundred
thousand to one hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars involved in this case. Upon
the rendering of the verdict of the jury
the plaintiffs Immediately made motion
for new trial, which motion will be
heard by Judge Thomas some time with
in the next two months. The jury WAS
made up as follows: A. j. Carnahan, of
Harmony twp; j. T. Carson, of Tlonesta;
Amos Eldridge, of jerks twp; Philo
Williams, of Barnett twp; VIM. Hind
man, of Kingsley twp; A. r. Slaughen-
haupt, OF Barnett twp; Clarence Jones
and II. F. Blum, of Kingsley twp; j. A,
Shriver, of Tionesta twp; Reese Stitz-
niger, of Tionesta; f. M. Hoovler, of
Harmony twp, and Harry Mintz, of
jerks twp.

Boy Wanted.

Under the head "Boy Wanted" the
South Dakota Spirit publishes the fol-
lowing clipping, which every parent of a
son would do well to lay before his boy
and ask him to read it for the good advice
it contains: Boy Wanted.-One of any
ago or breed to fill an important position.
Must have clean face, clean habits and a
clean heart; need not know how TO roll
cigarette nor how beer tastes, and if he is
not up-to-date in all smutty jokes of the
pool room his ignorance will be over
looked. He must be boy who gets up
cheerful in the morning, one who can
lay down his books occasionally TO do an
errand, who treats his mother and sister
and every boys mother and sister with
respect; and does not refer TO his father
as the "old man." He must be truthful,
prompt, obedient and industrious. lie
must make his employers interest his
interest, and never be afraid that he is
earning more than his wages. He is
wanted 10 respond at once in any number.
Merchants want him to sweep out the
store for few years, ultimately to take
charge of it. Newspapers want him to
commence with the crowd at the bottom
and work to the roomy places at the top.
He is wanted everywhere-in medicine
practice, in the counting room, to run
great public works. The people who pay
big salaries are looking for him. The
people want him for judge in court, for
member of Congress, Senator and Presi-
dent, and the incest girl in the world
wants him for her husband.

10 "Fiahtina Bob" a Pirate?

Newport.-Has Fighting Bob" Ev-
ans turned pirate?
Newporters are asking each other
this question, as a result of the dis
appearance on Wednesday night of
the wreck of the big two-masted
schooner Henry NJ. Whitney. which
has lain buried in the mud in the
south part of the harbor for more than
four years. Coal laden, the Whitney
was driven ashore one night after hav-
ing sprung a leak. She was emptied
and then abandoned.
For four years she lay there, n pic
.uresque relic of her former greatness.
and. suddenly. in the dark of Wednes-
lay night, a vessel whose cleaning
whiteness shone out in the gloom.
stole into the harbor, made fast to the
wreck and dragged 1t out to sea. A
hole in the mud was all that greeted
he fishing folk when they viewed the
1arbor next morning.
Those who saw the white ship come
n declare that she resembled in ev-
cry particular man-of-war. Now. Ad-
niral Evans warships are not far
iway from Newport, engaging in tar
get practice. and no better target
could be found for the boys behind the
guns than the wreck of the Henry NJ
Whitney.
