lum named VIM. Conway, whose home
is in Emlenton, escaped recently and on
Monday afternoon walked u through
Tionesta township He inquired the way
to Lickingville and went in that direc-
ton. 1t is thought he was headed for
Emlenton. He stopped at Andrew
VOLTS for a time and talked in a rambling
manner, which led to the supposition that
he had escaped from Warren. An inves-
tigation made later proved this to be true.
The National Transit Co evidently
has faith in the staying qualities of the

Tionesta Monday from a our of inspec-
ton, during which it was decided to be.
gin at once the building a pump station
on Big Coon creek, about a mile above
Golinza. The station will be equipped
with the latest improved machinery and
the oil will be pumped to Crown, from
which point the company o has a pipe
line into the field. The members of the
party of Transit Co. officers here were,

d. Williams, general superintendent, of

morning to walk to Wilcox. He became
lost in the woods and Saturday night
came out at Hastings, on Tionesta creek.
Sunday he showed up at Kellettvi lille and
jumped into Tionesta creek, trying to
drown himself. Justice ofthe Peace John

Drs. Detsr and Serrill pronounced the
man mentally unbalanced, whereupon
the justice committed him to Jail. Con-
stable James Grove brought him down
Sunday night. Peterson said he had
been drinking heavily for weeks and this
with abuse seems to have deranged his
mind. Tha Commissioners of Elk county
