The picnic of the Venango County

perfect care of the big crowd. Best of
railroad facilities will be provided, a

The parties recently sentenced to the
limit for damage done to the newly-paved
streets in Tionesta by running a six-ton
traction engine over them, have settled
with the authorities by paying the full
amount together with all costs. While
the limit of fine for such offense is only

ly, as in any other action for misdemean-
or, thus making the wilful damaging OF a
state road a pretty heavy bill of expense
to any who may take the notion of in
dulging in such luxury" We believe
this is the first case on record under the
new road law.

around, fastened the lines to the DASH

dioute parties brought the outfit back to
the P~leasantville grounds, reaching there
about midnight. Such a caper would get
The perpetrators into very serious trouble
should they be caught in the act.
