In the Right Direction.

Bishop Bloomfield was one of the
many witty Englishmen whose good
things have found their way into a
volume of "reminiscences, Leaves
From the Notebooks of Lady Dorothy
Nevin."
Bishop Bloomfield was led into a CON
troversy one time with learned man
as to the mental superiority of the
east over the west, and his opponent
as Il parting shot said:
"Well, at any rate you can't dispute
that the wise men came from the
east"
Surely that was the wisest thing
they could do" retorted the bishop.

There are four judges-Lynoh,H Halsey,
Fuller and Ferris-in Luzerne county
and there is no telling which of these
may try the case, if any of them. 1t
frequently occurs that Judge Staples
or some other judge from outside the
county is called in to preside at court.
A short time before the opening of the
term the defendant, Peter Dietrich,
will be removed to the Luzerne coun-
ty prison.
The jurors comprised in the special
venire, 175 in number, called for the
Dietrich trial, will not be needed ow.
ing to change of venue and it now de-
wolves upon Sheriff Williams to serve
notice upon each of them not to ap-
pear at the next term of court
THE COURTS DECREE.
Commonw VS.. Peter Dietrich.
Rule to show cause why venue should
not be changed
The act of March is, 1915, provides
that change of venue may be made,
"when upon the application of de-
fendant in felony it is made to ap-
pear to the satisfaction of the court
that there exists in that county so
great prejudice against him that he
can not obtain a fair trial.
Upon the hearing of this rule large
number of witnesses testified that they
had boord tha ,,,attar w daIx, a diecussad
and that there exists so much pref
] udice against the defendant in this
county that he can not obtain fair
| trial
An equally large number of witness.
es testified that he could obtain fair
trial in this county, though they per
haps had not heard the matter as wide.
ly talked about as those who testified
that he could not obtain a fair trial.
If there is doubt as to the guilt OF
the accused in criminal trial the law
favor OF the accused.
We have, therefore, concluded tc
order a change of venue in this case
And now, May 10, 1908, rule made
absolute, and it is further ordered ad

was fortunately OH the outer edge of

Of the cattle between her and the open
prairie. all crowdlng into the center,
End with every turn she was being car
rlcd toward the vortex with irresisti-
lie force.
She was utterly terrified, yet she
realized that her only possible hope of
salvation was to keep her senses and
her seat. If she tainted and fell the
result would be death. The love of life
was strong in her, and she chung to her
saddle and prayed as never before.
Her eyes were blinded with dust and
fear. She could see nothing but cattle
and the terrible gyrating mass. How
long she whirled about with them in
Eiddy rotation she could not tell. 1t
seemed hours, ages, before voice
pierced her ear. Where did it come
from? She turned her eyes toward the
sound and dimly made out the figure
Of man on the edge of the circle
above the cloud of dust. He seemed to
her Of gigantic stature. What was he
saying? She strained every nerve to
understand. Presently she made out:
"Keep up! Don't let go! Well get
you out!'
This was reinsurance, but not much.
The prospect seemed hopeless. The
cattle were going slower now as she
worked toward the center, which was
yet great way off. Her pony was
wedged in so tightly that he could
not fall The voice kept up a continual
cry Of encouragement. 1t seemed to
be drawing nearer, but the terrible
strain under which she was laboring
was telling upon her. Although she
clutched the pommel of her saddle with
the tenacity of despair, she found her
self swaying dizZily. She clinched her
teeth and summoned all her resolution
for last effort, but realized with a
growing horror that her end was near.
If help did not come quickly she would
be PROSTATE on the mass of horns.
Still the voice appealed to her, called
to her, pleaded with her, implored her,
stimulated her. She held on and on
desperately as she swept around and
around.
AS they drew near the two cowboys
recognized that this was one Of the
worst mills they had ever witnessed.
There was a little dip to the ground
where the cattle had swerved that had
thrown them even more violently to-
ward the center than would have &C.

thought he had never seen any steers
tighten so quickly and whirl so fast.

come persona non grata to the whole

With the swiftness of a military ma
neuver the nearest cattle fell in line

Renwyck realized what had happened
the herd of cattle, barking" madly, as
sions is called, was racing directly at
her forty abreast. In the twinkling of
an eye every one of the brutes was in
frantic motion. She was petrified with
establishment, although blissfully ig-
norant of the extent of her danger.
She heard shrill, frightened cry from
her father and looked back. Other
steers-for she had reached the middle
of the herd-were racing past her in
such way as to sweep around and
join the pursuers. Her pony, an Ill
trained broncho not used to the range,
more frightened than she, began to cut
up viciously. Blind with terror and
directly toward the oncoming animals.
Then she knew her peril. Instinc-
lively she screamed and waved her
free hand. The leading rank of the
stampeding herd was diverted from
the direct course by her approach and
her cries and turned aside. They swept
around in a great circle, the other
steers blindly following. Before the
girl realized what had occurred she
found herself caught, as it were, on
the edge of maelstrom of panic
stricken animals. and swept irresistibly
along with them.

at the figure Of the girl, as a cavalry
man rides down an obstacle, but he
knew that such step would be fatal.
The mill must be broken. 1t must be
unwound. The first man swung his
pony in toward the outer edge and
raced with 1t. seeking an opening near
the woman, to whom he cried words
Of encouragement. With the savage
quirt at his wrist he struck the cattle
ahead OF him again and again. The
first blows had no effect. but the repe-
tition at last met with response. They
swerved slightly. and he forced his
horse into the outer edge. Having eff
fected this entrance. he knew that he
had made a sufficient beginning to en-
able him in the end to loosen the tight
ened ring. He was just little in
front of the girl and back of him the
other man was nobly seconding his eff
forts. Would she he able to keep up
long enough for them to accomplish
her rescue?
They worked desperately. Men al
ways work desperately under such cir
cumstances. but i'm this instance it was
with added incentive. The first, the
nearest man to her, OWNED rather

face. deathly pale through the dust

the mill and save the girl. So with re-
doubled energy he bored his way in

was well broken now, but two lines of
steers interviewed between him and the
girl. Sweat poured from his face like
water. His heart thumped as no STAN
peding cattle could have caused 1t to
beat on any range. He was nearer

last effort. He pulled a heavy revolv-
err from his holster and began shooting.

The cowboy was already on the gal

that no one could understand and then
was gone. The girl stared after him
In great disappointment. He had
saved her life. rescued her like hero
but to leave her that way, and for
a lot of wretched cattle-it was too
provoking.
