Golinza. The we'll is located on the same
tract as the others and Is about two and a
half miles from Golinza, in the direction
of Crown. 1t was drilled in yesterday
afternoon and is reported to have flowed.
A telephone inquiry at Golinza brought
no definite estimate of the capacity of the
we'll further than that the drillers de-
clared 1t to be the best one drilled In that
field. An oil saver was sent up from
here last night.
I'VE are pleased to note that W. =.
Dechant is again able to keep open his
tailor shop, over the Theatorium, on
Main street, Clarion, after his serious ex-
perience at Kane hospital An incision
was made to the bone and about eight
inches long, in his right leg between the
thigh and knee and the bone was freed
from false growth in connection with
which pus formed and made him suffer
terribly besides causing him to be lame.
He expects now to be all right when the
wound is perfectly healed. .-Clsrion DEM

Fire underwriters are warning people
against flimsy Christmas decorations,
cotton and small candles on Christmas
trees, and II will be we'll for persons
carrying insurance to be on their guard
against their use. Nearly all insurance
policies carry clauses that nulify con-
tracts providing risks are run that may
endanger property, without permission
of the insurance people. To avoid trouble
the use of the very inflammable stuff
generally utilized for decorations should
be avoided. Not year passes that fires
starting from Christmas trees are not
mentioned.
Many people think that rabbits can
not be bought and sold in Pennsylvania,
but the game law states plainly that they
can. The law says: "And that all kinds
of game killed in this Commonwealth,
excepting deer, wild turkey, rutfed
grouse, woodcock, quail, commonly
called Virginia partridge, and Hungarian
quail, may be bought and sold within
this Commonwealth during the open sea-
son for such game, and for thirty days
thereafter" Rabbits that are killed oIt
of season for destroying cultivated crops
or trees (Which the law allows) can neith-
er be used for food nor sold.
-Venango county is about to build a
new Jail, and the authorities have been
casting about for some adequate way Of
housing prisoners while the old iail is be-
ing razed and the new one erected. The
Sheriff of Forest county has jumped into
the breach, and writes the commissioners
of Venango county that he has COM
paratively new Jail and never has any
prisoners, and he will be glad to accom-
modate the bad men of the latter county
during the time they are temporarily out
of quarters. 1t certainly speaks we'll for
Forest county when she has to go out of
her borders to populate her jail.-Brook-

Encouraged by Franklin's success
with its water plant, Emlenton has de-
cided to launch out in the same direction.
At a meeting of the borough Council last
week an ordinance was unanimously en-
acted that petition should be presented
to Judge George S. Criswell, asking for
the appointment of viewers to appraise
the local plant. The petition will be
framed under the act of 1907, which pro-
vides that either the municipality or the
owners of the plant may appeal from the
award of the arbtrators in the event there
is dissatisfaction. All of the Councilmen
and most of the business men are of the
opinion that the plant can be run with
profit.
AT Tidioute on Monday night last
week the borough council passed, unani-
mously, an ordinance granting fran
chise to the Forest Telephone Company
five of the seven members of the council
being present and voting. This will be
the first time the people in that section
have had the benefits of competition and
the action ofcounci was the result of
largely signed petition from the residents
of Tidioute. Charles Gogel, of the Pc
troleum Telephone Company, with head
quarters IN Oil City was largely respon-
sibe for the success the Forest county
company has met in its endesvor to enter
Tidioute. The new company will be
operated as an auxiliary of the Petroleum
company.

Herman Blum, of Newtown Mills, had a
narrow escape from instant death Thurs

job of Dunn, Lsnders & Co., on Salmon
Creek above Kellettville. He was haul

and caused them to run off. Frank lost
his footing and was thrown into the road
with the logs, but instead of going under
landed on top of the logs. He was rolled
and buffeted for some distance and finally
thrown clear out of the road Had he
gone few feet farther he would have

road. AS it was be was quite badly
bruised and had the second and third
fingers of his left hand crushed and brok-
en-. He was able to go TO Kellettville,
Where DR.. w. W. Serrill dressed his in
juries. The horses freed themselves from
their load and ran to the camp before be-
ing stopped.
