ATTEMPTED MURDER
B. Y. McNairy Narrowly
Escapes Beink
Shot !.

Laboring under the influence OF
liquor, and having fixed determine
tion to work off crouch he had
agalns the attorney who had acted as
his former wife's counsel, John a.
Hoffman went cunning for him early
Sunday afternoon, and as result
will be arranged this afternoon before
Justice Randall, charged with at
tempting to shoot Deputy Auditor B.
Y. McNairy, whom he had evidently
mistaken for Attorney N. N. Berg
helm.
Hoffman's former wife, whom he
had divorced, returned from North
Dakota Sunday morning, and this SO
angered him that instead of trying to
end all his troubles by attempting
suicide as he had done twice before,
once by taking carbolic acid and the
other by drowning, he directed his
steps to local hardware store where
he purchased an automatic revolver
and started out after Attorney Berg
helm. Coming up Fourth street
northeast Hoffman roughly grabbed
hold of. the younger son OF j. B.
Richard by the collar and demanded
where the residence OF N. N. Berg
helm was On beng told he went
to the house, but was informed that
Mr.. Bergheim- was not at home bat
that be might possibly be on has way
home via Third street. The man
started out to meet the attroney, put
when near the residence of B. +.
McNalry met the deputy auditor and
called out that he wanted to speak.eo
him. Mr.. McNalry looked up to see
Hoffman standing about twenty feet
away and pointing revolver at him.
John what are you trying to dor
asked Mr.. McNa1ry, but for answer
the man snapped the trigger three or
four times. The safety of the revolver
was evidently up as the gun, which
was we'll loaded, failed to discharge,
which was the sole reason that Mr..
McNairy escaped alive, he not
stopping of ask any more queslons but
making bee-l1ne for his home.
Whether Hoffman mad by this time
realized that he had made mistake
in the identity of the person he had
attempted to discharge the revolver at
IS matter OF conjecture. as he i'm
mediately returned to the home Of n.
N. Bergheim and tried to gain
entrance there. x
The police had been notified of
Hofman's doings IN the meantime,
but when they arrived on the scene
the man was nowhere to be seen. He
was finally located at the residence OF
Jos. Ruff in the eastern part Of tom
and was lodged in the county Jail

About Grapefruit.
How and When the Delicacy Was Introduced
10 America.

Many persons, says the Nashville
American, now enjoy grapefruit
and appreciate its value as health.
fll fruit who few years ago did
not know of its existence, and
whose knowledge of it now is linn
tied. For these this information is
not wholly without interest.
The grapefruit, or shaddock is
native of China and was first
brought to the West Indes i'll 1910
by All Englishman, Captain Shad-
dock, for whom the frui; was named
the date of its first introduction in
to this country has not been re-
corded, but it was regarded at first
as of no value as a fruit, being re-
garded more as a curiosity and used
as an ornament.
1t is of the orange family, but
its bitter taste was Objectionable;
this has been modified by cultiva-
ton, so that it has, in recent years,
come into general use as a valuable
dessert fruit, especially for eating
in the morning. 1t is now exten.
sively grown in Florida and Cali
fornia, as we'll as in the West In
dies and all tropical countries, be-
ing somewhat more tender than
the orange.
1t grows on tree much larger
than the orange. but in much the
same manner as its sister fruit;
sometimes siugly and at others two
or three fruits in a cluster. The
name grapefruit was however, not
derived from that, but from the
fancied resemblance in flavor of the
fruit to the grape. The fruit is al
so known as the pomelo, pumelo
and pompelmos.

Orange Custnrd.

Soak one-third box gelatine in a
third of cup OF cold water until
soft. Pour on one-third cup boiling
water, stir until dissolved, then add
one cup orange juice and the Juice
of one lemon, the orange pulps with
a little of the grated rind and a
scant cup of sugar. Strain, then set
in a pan of cracked ice to chill and
stiffen. AS 1t begins TO harden, whip
to a stiff foam, add the whites OF
three eggs also whipped until stiff
and light, then continue the beating
until the mass is stiff enough not to
drip. Line a mould with split lady
fingers, slices of sponge cake or sec
tions OF oranges as preferred, turn
in the cream and set on the ice.
When ready to serve loosen around
the edge of the mould with timber
bladed knife. turn out on low glass
dish and pile half pint whipped
cream on top.

He Dropped the Cub.

Charles BAIL, of Dushore, recent
ly had an adventure with a bear
cub and its mother. He was haul
ing a load of furniture to Nord-
mont. last week, and near Dutch
mans Run, about half a mile south
of Ringdale, he saw what he at
frs, supposed was dog in the pub
lie road. He jumped from the wag-
on and caught the cub, which when
caught made a noise that brought
hearty response from the mother
bear. standing on the bank along
side the road. At this stage of the
game Mr.. BAIL noticed that the
norses were getting very nervous,
and he dropped the cub and looked
after his team, proceeding on his
journey. The bear and cub, when
left to themselves, showed nc
further inclination to fight.

so repaired it in this fashion: Two
and a half yards of heatherbloom
were purchased as near the shade of
the silk as possible. The bottom Of
the skirt was faced up knee-high on
the wrong side with this, thus
strengthening the worn parts be-
meath the ruftles. A deep fiounce of
the heatherbloom was attached to
the top of the facing, on the under

In the Days of Wild Pigeons.

When Asso ,iate Judge Blee ot
Montour County was in Danville
the other day, he and several others
were talking of changes that had
taken place during their lives, says
the Danville Ne0oS.
Wild pigeons became the theme
of conversation. Of course, the
young person of the present day
knows nothing about wild pigeons;
but when the Judge, who is now
seventy, was boy wild pigeons
were a factor that the sportsman
reckoned with.
Joseph X. Patton recalled that
when he was young he used to see
wild pigeons galore. They fire.
quently swarmed over head in mil
lions, shutting ont the rays of the
sun and casting shadow on the
earth. Judge Blee described net
for catching the pigeons used by
him as boy, which was sixty feet
long and wide in proportion. At
one catch he trapped forty dozen
The wild pigeons were victims Of
indiscriminate and merciless
slaughter. They were captured
throughout the country by every
means that ingenuity could devise.
They not only afforded delicious
food in season but their diminu-
tive carcass S were preserved by
smoking and other means and they
graced the farmers table at inter
walls during the whole year.
The wild pigeon very closely re-
sembled the tame pigeon. Each
fall regularly they migrated south,
returning in the spring. During
the winter they sought the rice
swamps of the south and during
their flight northward in the spring
Judge Blee recalls shooting pigeons
that had rice in their craws. The
birds spent the summer in the
mountains north and west of this
section.
Not only were the pigeons
obliged to run the gauntlet in their
spring and fall, but they |
were pursued by avaricious per
sons into the very mountains where
they were breeding and were shot
and entrapped in nets.
AS a result of this indiscriminate
the pigeons became prac
tically extinct about 1860. For |
some years afterward few might |
have been seen spring and fall,
their fight overhead, but
long ago the last wild pigeon passed
out of existence.
When Judge Blee was boy
nearly every farm had few wild
pigeons cooped up, which had been
and were being kept as
stool pigeons, to be used as decoys
to draw others within the net,
when the latter was employed as
means of capturing the birds.
