hold articles were reexhibited in
court during the trial of
John III. Guise and his wife, Mrs.
Anna Guise, of near Ralston, who
were underithe serious charge Of rob-
bing seven homes in that town and
secreting the goods most of which
were found in dark garnet in their
home by constable f. Weigel Reed,
who put into effect the seven search
warrants issued by justice of the
peace in that town. 1t was by far
the most interesting of the cases at
this term of court.
The Guise have two pretty daugh-
ters-Fannie aged IS years, and
Annie, aged IA years. The elder
daughter tried to convince the court
that she did all the pilfering, evident
ly with view to eNonerating her
father, mother and sister.
The goods were alleged to have
been Stolen from Mr.. and Mrs. l..
Fl. Dye, DR.. and Mrs. l.. ID H.
Mintzer, Mrs. Frank Conley, Mrs.
$. H. Keys, Elizabeth Michael,
Mary Sullivan and Antonio KilbOrn,
all of whom were in court and identi
fed the articles taken from their
homes. The articles were brought
into court in big box and spread
about the court room. They con-
sisted of all colors, sizes and de-
scriptions of undertlothing for men
women and children, even infants;
dishes two turreens, bowls, pitchers,
lantern, tin pail, granite bucket,
base ball-suit, dress skirts, woolen
and Gotten bedclothes, rugs, small
and large pieces uf all kinds of car
pets. undershirts, overshirts, towels,
waists. aprons, Machintoshes, stock
ings, trousers, bags, flour sacks,
pieces of dry goods, capes and other
things to numerous to mention.
The father and mother were charg-
ed with the crime, not the daughters
but Miss Fannie Guise went on the
witness stand and under oath told
the court and jury that she was the
prime mover in all the stealing
that her sister had not helped OF
aided her in any manner; that hel
mother knew nothing about hel
work and that her father was en-
tirely innocent of the charge; thai
he had OF been at home enough Il

house. She shOuldered the blame
for the entire affair to free her
mother and father of the stigma
which "A conviction would place up
on their names and regulations.
She testified that she had been per-
suaded to do the stealing by Mrs.
Alice New man, wife of George New
man, with whom she said she was
quite intimate and who had spent
several days at the Guise home. II

According to n report received at
the headquarters of the State Live

to blame for the spread of the disease
known as foot and mouth in Chester

farms lie in row and the disease
developed in the two outer ones,
leaving the central tract unaffected.
The chickens from that farm how

the cattle are under quarantine.

1t has recently been learned that
a young man from Dushore recently
experienced remarkable episode
while calling on his lady friend out
in the country. When he got ready
to leave he realized that heavy
rain was falling. He had no UNI
brella or rubber coat and when the
girls father asked him to remain at
the house he readily consented. The
The next morning when he was in
vited to a seat at the table he re-
luctantly accepted. He was very
nervously agitated. He sat opposite
a mirror and discovered that he had
forgotten to comb his hair. Then he
dropped his fork on the floor and as
he stopped to pick it up he upset his
coffee. Matters went from bad to
worse until finally in despair the
young man quit eating and put his
hands under the table. The loose
end of the tablecloth was lying in
his lap and when he touched it he
turned pale. He thought it was his
shirt and that in his nervous eX-
citement when dressing he had for
gotten to put the garment into his
trousers. That accounted for the
smiles and embarrassment. There
was no time to loose. He hurriedly
stuffed the supposed shirt into his
trousers. Ten minutes later when
the family arose from the table
there was a crash. The dishes Law
In broken mass upon the floor.
The young man pulled three feet of
the table cloth out of his pants and
fled through the back door. He is
yet in the woods back of his home.

In this collum in the past we have
printed several red-hot editorials con-
corning our FIRE dept and stated to our
selectmen the fact that our fire dept
amt whot it ort TO be and aint been for
some time past There is at present
only FIVE FIRE buckets fit for use in the
dept and these is in the basement of
the Town Hail full OF frozen water.
Besides this Brad Tucker, chief of the
fire dept, has went and twisted the kew
TO the lock all up into q knot with a
screwdriver a trying TO open the door
and can't bulge 1t one way or anuther.
Now the town has a chance to i'm
prove its FIRE dept in the shape of a
hand fire engine, witch it can buy at the
Co. seat for Slz50O and is guaranteed
TO throw worter 7o #. and three inches.
When you stop to think how much fur
:her that is than our present FIRE dept
can throw a bucketful of worter il OFT
to show the most ignorant whot a
pleasure it would be to stand of and
squirt water outen hose on the fire
hend without getting their whiskers
singed and their clothes all scorched I'D.
This hand engine has did good service
at the Co. seat and is to be sold be-
cause some of the boys want to git a
bigger engine to go to muster with in
sted of fighting fires II takes erbout
% men TO work it and ennybuddy can
pump on it in zero weather without no
coat on and feel plenty warm. Hiram
Petersby told US erbout it and sed he
was agoing to bring II to the attenshion
of the selectmen.
We ask the respeckted citizens of
Bingville who own property whot would
be the result If a awful fire would
break out in our midst without warn
ing some night erbout 2 A. NJ? Whot
could be done TO it? The members of
the fire dept would run up and down
the streets and holler, but hoIlering
won't put out a fire. Whot would
worter be carried to the FIRE in, suppos-
ing they was emmy water, witch they

shion Brad Tucker could give orders to

hose down the pump hole and pump all

tishion OF the horrible holocaust wich
occurred two weeks ago last Satterday
night when Deacon Andrews hen house

we going to do erbout ut, hey? Let the

less of criticism and if the town select

Politics Straight or Mixed.

The way of the politician. as
everybody knows. is a soft, easy
pleasant way. and perhaps that is
the reason why it leads right to

where a whole floor is devoted to
politics. There is little of every
kind on the political floor. no IA
vorite brand. and the visitor can
have his choice OF being a straight
republican or a straight democrat,
or he can even mix them.
1t often happens that a house
is too small, even a large house,
to hold two men of different po-
litical faith. But at hotei. it
seems, the rule does not hold
good for when an antagonist feels
the argument too heated he can
withdraw to his own committee
room and there find friend who
will soothe his injured feelings by
agreeing with him. then with re-
newed strength he will sally forth
into the corridor to vanquish the
enemy
The corridor on the political
floor is the common battle ground.
Here occur the fights between
democrats and republicans. All
about the corridor are the forts
and strongholds of the two par
ties. These are the headquarters
where the valiant political sol,
diers gather their ammunition
decide grave issues and make
ready the plans for their cam,
paigns. In these political camps
the midnight oil is often seen to
burma silent witness to the fact
that some matter of weighty i'm
portance to the state or perhaps
to the nation is being discussed

peaches fell to the ground and
were wasted this year than we're
