The tour will last about twelve
or fifteen days and 1000 miles
will be covered. The route Will
lead over the most beau tiful coun
try even attempted on q Glidden
run. Also it will be the longest
and stiffest test for automobiles
ever attempted in a contest in
this country. Mr.. Bradley re.
ported the roads during the first
five days to be IN poor condition
but SAID the trip from Bedford to
McConnellsburg, was a pleasure,
From Harrisburg the route
will lead to Reading, Allentown
and Easton and thence to Milford,
where the next night control will
be established. This route is
taken in order to cut out New
Jersey, which all motorists are
now avoiding on account of tile
absurd automobile laws which re.
Gently were passed. From Mil.
ford the route, will lead to Albany
and thence around New York
and back among the Berb shires
and White Mountains, ending al
Saratoga, on July "a.
The Glidden tourists passed
through this place last year on
the 22nd of July, and attracted
much attention. Their trip this
year eastward from Pittsburg
will cover a different route with
the exception of the road from
Bedford to the Forks of the Pike
east of McConnellsburg.

ROBBERS BOLD ATTEMPT.
The Gale Family, Near Warfordsburg, in
Bethel Township, Attacked Last
Wednesday Night.
HEROISM OF JOHN MCCULLOUGH.

AhO CoiO AduhitJ, OuS W b1e
oldest and best known IN the
lower end of the County, reside
on their farm about two miles
south of Warfordsburg.
The family is composed of
William Gale, Miss Kate Gale,
Mrs. Bette Andrews-all above
seventy years of age, aud John
Mccullough, aged about fifty.tive
years, unmarried, who has had
his home with the Gales for more
than forty years.
Like many other of the older
families, these people lived
quiet uneventful life, are in com.
Portable circumstances, and, up
to last week, had preferred to
keep their surplus cash about
the house rather than to take
chances In placing 1t In bank.
About nine O'Clock on Wednes-
day evening of last week, the
family had all retired to their
beds except John Mccullough,
whose attention was attracted to
a rap at the door. Thinking
that it meant only a late call from
some of the nelghbors, he went
to the door, opened 1T, when he
was confronted by a stoutly built
young man about six feet tall,
who showed revolver in McCul-
lough's face, commanding him
to throw NY his hands, and pro.
ceed promptly to show where the
money in the house was kept.
Mccullough, although we'll
built man, Is one OF those easy
fellows, who do not say much,
and as harmless as a kitten, did
not talk back, neither did he con-
duct his visitor to the hidden
treasure. He did, however, throw
up his hands, but 1t was only to
give him a better chance to bring
his sturdy fists down upon the
robber, when a violent struggle
took place. 1t was battle for
life or death, and never did two
men fight more tiercely. McCul-
Tough succeeded IN wrenching
the revolver from the robbers
hand, but 1t dropped to the floor,
and the robber succeeded in re-
gaining il, when he concluded
that retreat would be most wise.
AS he sprang away into the yard,
Mccullough slam med the door
shut, and called for shot gun,
when a ball from the robbers re-
volver came crashing through one
of the panels of the door, barely
missing the body of Mr.. McCul
Tough. The robber then disap-
peared IN the darkness, and the
family, who were all thoroughly
aroused by this time, did not take
chances of sleeping any more |
that night.
The robber was we'll masked,
and wore a white beard, hut he
had evidently not had great deal
of experience in the "hold up"
business.
The Gale people have changed
their minds about the safety of
banks, and robbers hereafter will
not find much money about the
house, should the attempt be re-
peated.

Roswell STAINS, of Wells Valley
aged about 5 and 7years, respect

field for the COWS last Friday eve-
ming, and IN attempting TO open
a large oaken gate, it slipped off
its hinges and fell over on the
children, crushing them to the
ground and holding them fast.
The cows passed out of the held

home. When the mother noticed
the cows, but saw nothing of her
little girls, she went in search
and found them under the gate.
Goldie was lying in about eight

Shaw, it will be remembered said
Of the recent Imprisonment of Editor
Markyedt in Prussia for this crime
THE sentence is entirely logical and
correct. The law against majestatsbe-
leidigung is founded on a well known
and long-established dogma that the
king is a divine person Herr Mark
veldt, when he wrote as he did, was
guilty not merely of maiestatsbeleidi-
gung, but of blasphemy, and ne may
regard his escape from being burned
alive at the stake as an ample fulfill
ment of the promise Of clemency made
to the reichstag. It is useless to ask
how the affair would stand in Eng
land. The English definitely decided
in the seventeenth century that king
is a man, and the impression made by
the kaiser during his recent visit,
though highly agreeable, has not al
tered our opinion in that respect"
