pany at Gilmore, w. Va:
"We had a shooting affair here last
night. -Four strange Italians went to our
Italian shack on Laurel run, and de-
msnded their money. Our fellows re-
fused to give it, and fight TO death en-
sued. One of the strange men and one of
our men were killed, the other three es-
capped, one being so badly wounded that
a posse of men tracked him from blood
stains on the snow this morning. One of
our men was shot through the body, the
bullet penetrating the left lung near
breast bone, and coming out under the
shoulder blade. He is still alive and
feeling comfortable this morning. The
four others were shot and slashed with
knives, but not seriously hurt. We are
making an effort TO capture the three fell
lows that got away. y."-Corry Leader.

A good barber could find employment
in our town.
The saw mill at Gutonville, which has
been at a standstill for some time, has
again resumed work, giving employment
to large force of men.
Miss Ida Eikenburg, after long stay
in Clarion, is visiting her parents at her
home.
Misses Kate Eikenburg and Tillie
Burdick, while in town, called at the
Muzette school on the 18th.
Miss Lucy Whitton, who has been in
poor health for some time past, we are
glad to state is improving.
There are quite a number of people
around our community who are on the
sick list. Among them is John Whitton,
but at this writing we are glad to hear he
is much improved in health.
One of the calamities which 30 often
happens to people was that of Mrs. Lew
Greenawalt, of Vowinckel, who had the
misfortune to fall, dislocating her ankle
and fracturing her limb.
Walter Hulings, while hunting big
game last Friday on the Bowman tract,
came in intact with huge wildcat.
Walter was successful in bagging his
prey by banging it between the eyes with
3S, and it proved to be one of the lar
gest cats ever killed in this section. AS
general thing when Walter gets on the
trail of anything of this description he
comes out best.
On last Thursday fire took place,
wien the house of John Shawl, with all
its contents, was totally consumed. How
the fire originated the writer does not
know, but the flames spread with awful
rapidity and as there was no water near,
help was practically cut of. AS Mr..
Shawl had no insurance his loss will no
do doubt fall heavily upon him.

Funeral of the Late Charles Leech.

Funeral services in remembrance of
the late Charles S. Leech. were held at
Msrienvile on Friday afternoon last, aud
large concourse of friends and former
neighbors attested by their presence the
high esteem in which he was held in the
community where so many of his best
days were passed. The body arrived on
the morning train Thursday and was con-
veyed to the home of his mother, Mrs. s.
M. Whitehill, were many friends called
to offer sympathy and coincidence TO the
stricken family and relatives of the de-
ceased. At 800 p. m. on Friday large
congregation assembled at the NJ. f..
church where the Rev. DR.. Earseman, of
Edenburg, pastor Of the Presbyterian
church, delivered most impressive and
Just eulogy upon the life and character OF
Mr.. Leech. The pastor was assisted in
the services by Rev. Mr.. Thompson OF
the NJ. E. church of Marienville, and the
united choirs of both churches sang three
appropriate hymns, one of which, LEAD,
Kindly Light" being an especial favorite
of the deceased, and all being beautifully
rendered. At the close of the services
the pastor announced that all who de-
sired to view the remains would be PRIV
ileged to do so at the home of his mother
and many availed themselves of the OPP
portunity to take a last lingering look
upon the face of the friend they loved
so we'll in life. The floral offerings were
many and very beautiful, and the face OF
the departed wore peaceful, restful ex-
preston as the form reposed in a pro-
fusion of roses, carnations and smilax.
The interment was made in Marienville's
beautiful cemetery, where all that was
mortal of a once honored and respected
citizen was laid to rest in the family plot.
The psll-besrers were t. j. Reyner j. b.

At the time our obituary of Mr.. Leech
was written last week it was impossible
to give the cause of his death, which oc-
Cured on the 9th of January. His all
ment was kidney trouble, condition he
probably never suspected and the end
was hsstened by ur@mic poison.

Death of Mrs. John Sanner.

Deborah Turner Ssnner was born near
Cochranton, Craw ford county, Pa, July
%, 1928, and died at her home in Tionesta,
Jan. 13, 1908, aged 81 years, five months
and fifteen days. In early life she
was united in marriage with John San
ner, with whom she lived most happily
until about seyen years ago, when
they were separated by his death. She
was the mother of seven children, four of
whom survive her: William, of Denver,
Colorado; Smith, of Chipmunk, n. Y;
Edwin, of Tionesta, and Mrs. Henry
Sibble, also of this place. She has two
brothers living. o. NJ. Turner, of Oil

Iowa. For several years Mr.. and Mrs.
Sanner lived near Petroleum Centre, hut

the most careful attention, which was

by Mrs. Anna Stitzinger, who has nursed
her Tor the past FIVE years. Mrs. Sanner
was an ideal mother. During her long
married life her chief aim was to make
the home the most pleasant and cheerful
place for her loved ones. For them she
toiled. Being gifted with a constitution
OF unusual strength she was able to do
more than is common with the great ma
jority OF mothers. The testimony of her
children is: mother was always busy"
After the daily tasks were finished her

forgotten and only the records of heaven
can determine how much she did to
Tighten the burdens which rested upon
other shoulders. In the days of her
health and strength she never turned a
deaf ear to the call for aid and in many a
home her presence in sickness was in
deed blessed ministry. The useful life
is ended and the weary hands are folded
in the peaceful rest of the long sleep.

A new ruling Just promulgated by the

will be denied the use of the mails at the

affected by this ruling and will be obliged
to pay their subscriptions promptly or be
taken off the list. The REPUBLICAN will
have to enforce the rule, not from choice,

discontinued, so don't blame the publish

Daniel Groce Accidentally Killed.

Daniel Groce, for a number of years a
respected citizen of Marienville, met
death in tragic manner on Thursday
last. He had left Marienville in the
morning with one of Liveryman Har-
mons teams to drive W. J. Mckee, of
Franklin, commercial agent, to Mill
stone, or Bells camp, about eight miles
distant, on the Clarion river. The vehicle
was heavily loaded with trunks of dry
goods, which were piled on the platform
IN rear of the seat, which had a cover
similar to buggy top. In going down
the steep grade OF the hill leading to the
Camp, some part of the harness gave way,
and the team was unable TO control the
vehicle and the horses were crowded
down the hill at a terrific speed until one
of the wheels struck stump near the
side of the road where the hack lodged
and the horses freed themselves and ran
on. The men were hurled through the
air distance of more than twenty feet,
Mr.. Mckee lighting on rock on his
hands and knees, and Mr.. Groce falling
on top of him. Both men crawled to the
road and when Mckee spoke to his COM
panion he received no reply. Help came
almost Immediately, for the men were
within a few rods of their destination.
The discovery was soon made that Mr..
Groce's neck was broken and he expired
in less than half an hour. There were no
marks or bruises on his body and just
how the fatality occurred could not be
ascertained. Mr.. Mckee was consider
ably bruised and severely shocked by the
fall, but was able to take the train next
day for his home in Franklin. The rig
was total wreck, but the horses, which
had fallen over the embankment and
were lying on their backs in a tangled
mass, we're wholly uninjured.
The body of the unfortunate victim was
brought to his home at Marienville the
same evening, and on Sunday appropriate
funeral services were held at the M. e.
church, conducted by the pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Thompson, and the remains were
laid to rest beside those of his wife, who
died about six months ago. Mr.. Groce
was aged about 65 years and leaves seven
children, the three older daughters being
married. He was one of Marienvilles
industrious and highly esteemed citizens,
and his tragic death was severe shock
to the community, where much sympathy
for the grief-stricken family is expressed.
