ACCInFNT IN BUCK VALLEY.
The Exploding of Dynamite Cap in
Cook Stove Seriously Injured Miss
Margaret Scrteyer.

Miss Margaret, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Scriever,
who live'at Buck Valley postoffice
In Buck Valley, Is one of those
industrious girls that shares the
duties involved in housekeeping
with her mother. On Wednes-
day afternoon of last week she
was doing the sweeping, and like
most people, threw the sweep
ings into the cook stove, to get
rid of the lint, &c. Scarcely had
she thrown this into the stove,
until loud explosion took place
pieces of the cook stove flying
in every direction, striking the
young lady and laceratlng her
body shocklngly.
The noise attracted other mem
bers of the family who immediate
ly summoned a physician. She
bled profusely, but the flow of
blood was gotten under control,
and her wounds dressed, and she
is now said to be doing well as
could be expected.
The trouble arose from a dyna.
mite cap dropped on the floor by
her brother Raymond, and 1t was
swept up unnotlced by the unfor
tunate sister.

FultOn's State Road.

Yes, it is Fulton County's first
State road, but Fulton County is
not paying any part of the bill
The condition upon which the
State is willing to put up three
fourths of the money for good
roads in a county is that the
County shall pay one eighth,
the township one eighth, and the
State the balance. Our County
Commissioners have been too
smart to be fooled INTO anything
that smacks of public improve.

during the past IN holding up
every effort to get State roads ln-
to Fulton County. The "green-
les" who serve as county com.
misloners IN Franklin, Bedford,
and all the other counties of the
State have been going ahead,
and helping to build every foot of
State road possible; and our sis.
ter counties are proud of their
new roads, and are clamorlng for
more. On the account of the
stupidity o. our officials, nearly
seventy thousand dollars that
was available for Fulton county
roads, was gwen to our nelghbor.

scripture: To him that hath

away even that he hath.
AS has been noted before in
the News, Bethel township has
shown her nerve by ignoring the
aid of the County, and has joined
hands with the State, and is busy

George Chesnut's, up through
Warfordsburg, and on TO New

The same argument that is
used by those who are opposed to
taking any of the CHunty's money
to build piece of State road in
Wells township, because, per.
haps the citizens of Union town.

pumping facilities in use last
spring were inadequate, they
have installed a new thlrty.ho
power boiler, and steam pump,
capable of discharging two hun
dred gallons of water a minute
from the mine. The drift Is now
in about one hundred feet, and
the work will be pushed forward
rs vigorously as possible. So
confident are they that coal will be
found in abundant quantity that
no effort or expense will be
spared t., developthe enterprise as

ton, who, according to ancient
history, passed through this sec
tion of the country on his march
from Fort Richmond, Richmond,
Va.,) to Fort Pitt, (now Pittsburg,
Pa, y about l35 years ago. The
knife has every indication of be
ing a very rare and unique relic.
The blade Is about 4inches long
and silver skeleton sheath or
holster, lined inside with leather
and the letters L. D. stamped on
the outside OF it. In the handle
of the knife are concealed several
articles such as were considered
very handy and useful IN those
days. A corkscrew used to pull
the shoppers from their canteens,
a buttoner, used to button their
leggins, small lance, which was
considered a household necessity
in those times, a pair of scissors
and sewing needle, which being
made of piece of steel about
three inches long. sharpened at
one end and bent mp straight at
the other to hold the thread. 1t

people to be the oldest relic IN the
United States of Its kind and Mr..

MRS. JOHN TRUAX INJURED.
Face and Head Cut and Bruised Whre
She Was at the Barn Doing the
Evening Work.

Mrs John Truax residing near
Needmore this county received
injuries a few evenings ago that
to say the least are very painful.
Both she and her husband are
advanced in years, and her hus.
band has been ln poor health for
long time. Mrs. Truax went
out to the barn IN the evening to
do the milking and a little feeding,
and feeling weak and indisposed
thought she would go into the
entry at the barn and rest few
minutes. This Is the last she
remembers about the clrcum
stance until some time afterward
she found herself at the house
calling to her husband to ring the
bill to attract the attention of the
neighbors. When her husband
came out he found her all bruised
and bleeding about the head and
face, without any knowledge of
how the injury was brought
about. Whether or not she was
attacked by some one lying in
wait, or whether she fell, may not
be known. A physician was call
ed, and Mrs. Truax is recovering.

nice hogs IN the pen fattening for
winter meat. Since the death of
her husband, g. G. Bender, few
weeks ago, she decided to sell
two of them, and this she did,
keeping the incest one-worth
about twenty dollars. Joe Thorn

other day and got some salt in 1T.
Thinking it too bad to waste it,
he offered 1t to Mrs. Bender for
her hog. Without a thought of
i'll consequences the hog had ice
cream for desert one evening.
The porker was not used to such
high living, and the next day com
planned of pain in his in ards,
which kept on getting worse and
worse until sometime Sunday
night the hog died. That's about
all there Is to tell about it.
