Farmer Dunkelberger is confident

fused point blank, and the Philadel-
phians departed, saying, however, that
they would return to renew the nego-

The annual spring inspection of
Company f. Twelfth regiment N. e.

There was good attendance. With

acquit themselves we'll. Certain it is,

might be raised whether in point of
personnel any of the companies of
the regiment rank higher. The result
OF the inspection Of course, can not
be known until later.
The membership of Company f rep-
resents territory that extends from
Danville to point above Berwick.

represented the government at the in
spection. Major @. p. Gearhart rep.

ant surgeon of the regiment. had a
part in the inspection. Captain f. NJ.
Harrington, First Lieutenant W. u.
Holloway and Second Lieutenant
Frank Keefer, commissioned officers
OF the company, were in their places.
AT present the standards are set
pretty high and it is only by drilling
regularly and striving to excel along
all lines that company can expect to
attain rank that will place it near
the head of the column. In addition
to the regular movements the company
was inspected in the following spec
ialties; Extended order, guard duty.

condition Daniel Shay, an expert
boiler repairer, testified that he had
made the repairs to the boiler. that
with forty-tive years experience he

ASSAULTED BY FOUR
MAN MAY DIE

Seized by four men while ON his
way home early Saturday morning
Wilson Knable, a we'll known resident
of Sunbury, was so badly injured by a
blow on the head with blunt instru-
ment that he may die as a result
The Northumberland county seat is
stirred over the outrage, and every
effort is being made to find some clue
that will lead to the identity of the
murderous four. So far the officers
quest has been in vain.
Knable had been to the home of a
friend, and after pleasant evening
started for his home on Fourth street.
At an alley about two blocks from his
residence he was set upon by the ruff
ans. Three of them held him while
the fourth brought club or black.
jack down on his head with great
force.
Though stunned by the blow, Kn-
able fought the criminals, and finally
succeeded in making his escape. Run

After reaching the safety of his
house, Knable fell over unconscious
and surgeon was hastily summoned.
An examination disclosed that the
mans skull had been fractured and
the doctor entertains grave fears for
his recovery.
The unfortunate man did not recog-
ni2e the assailants. their features be-
ing hidden by red handkerchiefs Rob-
berry was not the motive of the as
sault, as not one cent of Knable's
money was taken. The authorities be-

plan of murder and will exert every
influence to locate and apprehend
them.

PROSPECTS OF
DOUBLE HANGING

The prospect of double hanging in
Northumberland county has stirred
the people. The sentencing of Fisher
and Msrcavage on Friday and the
somewhat thrilling incidents connect
ed with the scenes at court has since
constituted one of the main topics of
conversation throughout our neighbor-
ing county.
Fisher Was roundly condemned for
his cowardly actions, while Marcav-
ages demeanor during the trying
ordeal raised him trif1e, if the ex-
preston be permissible, in the estima-
tion of his fellow man.
Both Fisher and Marcavage were
found guilty on oiroumstantisl evid-
ence, but the Commonwealth 8 case
against the murderer of the woman
was the stronger. Fishers subsequent
actions brand him as brute of the
lowest order and there is no sympathy
for him.
With Marcavage, however, it is
different. The convicted slayer OF the
aged cobber is not more than 90 years
of age and presents boyish appear
ance. He has maintained steadily that
he did not strike the fatal blow. and
there are some who are inclined to be-
lieye that he is telling the truth. Be
that as it may the Jury found him
guilty and the opinion Of others is not
of consequence However, there is
marked degree of commiseration shown
toward him by the people and he will
go to his death pitied by many.
Whether or not the attorneys for the
sentenced men will be successful in
their efforts to have the edict of the
court set aside by a higher tribunal
remains to be seen. In the event of
their failure Governor Stuart will fix
the date of execution and Sheriff viii.
liam Taby will start out his term with
a double hanging, as it is altogether
probable that the men will swing to-
gether.
Fisher will most likely have to be
dragged to the scaffold and the spect-
acle of his hanging will no doubt be--a
narrowing one. Marcavage promises
to go to his death laughing.

BIBLE CLASS
TEACHER HONORED

H. B. Schultz, teacher of the DIR.
Yeomans' Bible class was treated to a
pleasant surprise on Saturday evening.
The class in body was driven to the

some rocking chair was presented to
Mr.. Schultz. The presentation speech
was made by the Rev. j. W. Kirk,
pastor of the Mahon ng Presbyterian
church. While the speaker touched
most eloquently on Mr.. Schultz's de-
votion to the class and his ability as a
teacher. the beautiful and useful gift
attested to the fact that his lsbors are
highly appreciated by the class and
that he holds the affection and esteem
of the members.
Mr.. Schultz responded in very
feeling manner, which revealed his
high appreciation of the gift.

THE STATE
PAYS PROMPTLY

In the annual county statement be-
ing printed at presentsthere is no item
discussed more than the one relating
to bounty paid on noxious animals, the
sum total of which is 1928.
In perusing the statement and not.
ing that 302 weasels hadss.been caught
and paid for by the county at the rate
of dollar pelt. .citizen of Valley
township, Saturday, took occasion to
remark that the fact which staggers
most people who are supposed TO be in
touch with the conditions that affect
the raising of poultry is that weasels
are so numerous as demonstrated in
the statement. For his own part, he
said. he had no idea that there were
as many weasles in the county as are
shown to been killed between June
and the close of the year. 1t only goes
to show. he said, that noxious amin
ais are a greater menace to the farmer
than was dreamed of.
While the average taxpayer is graft
fed to learn that 302 weasels, TO say
nothing of the II minks and foxes on
the list. have paid the penalty with
their lives, there is probably one dis
quieting circumstance he is not GER
tain where the money disbursed in
premiums is to come from eventually
whether in part from his own pocket
or from sources outside the county,
Such persons will be interested to
learn that the State reimburses the
county for money paid out in pre-
miums for the killing of noxious
animals. The State is also very
prompt in making payments, as is
shown by the transaction which took
place last week.
On Wednesday the bill for the full
amount of 1898 was sent in to the
auditor general by Commissioners
Clerk Horace o. Blue. The return
mail from Harrisburg brought a check
for the amount. Thus it will be seen
that the war ON noxious animals does
not cost the county one cent, although
it entails vast amount of extra work
on the county commissioners clerk.
The bill made out to the State must
show the number of county order,
name of payee. where the animal was
killed. the kind of animal, ETC.
The bill rendered, of course, was
only for the aniamls killed between
June goth when the act went into eff
feet and December 3lst, the close of
the year. During January and Feb
ruary up to date the war on noxious
animals has gone on merrily and the
records at the county commissioners
office show that thus far during the
present year the county has paid for
forty-one weasles and six minks. To
the end that the county may not be
kept out of the money too long anoth-
er bill Will be rendered to the State
in June
Apropos of the above it might also
be stated that the State refunds one
half of the money expended in ex-
forest fires Montour coun-
ty last year expended on forest fires
Sl3 30, S66 of which was paid back
by the State.
