Paul j. Hepler, proprietor of the
Commercial Hotel, Franklin, and we'll
known here, was in an auto mix-up, one
day last week, and was quite severely
though not dangerously injured. He
was returning from Oil City with his wife
and little daughter in car driven by f.
j. Dion. The wheels skidded and the car
went over an embankment. Mr.. Hepler
jumped and alighted on some large peices
of glass resulting in three ugly cuts and
several painful bruises about the body.
The little girl was thrown out of the car
and suffered a slightly bruised knee.
Mrs. Hepler and the driver clung to the
machine and escaped injury.
H. A. Dotterrer, of Muzette was a
visitor in town last week and reports the
rattlesnake crop as prospering in his sec
tion in spite of dry weather and lack OF
rain. While he and his son Lester, aged
l3 years, were hunting the COWS one day
week or more ago they came upon two
large rattlers summing themselves by
big rock, both of which Mr.. Dotterer
promptly killed Hearing some others
buzzing under the rock he poked out two
more large fellows which the boy fin
ished in short order, shooting one with
small rifle which he carried, and thus
scoring as high as his dad. The four
snakes ranged from 2 feet 10 inches to 4
feet inches in length.
According to the story being related
by a couple of drillers who have been at
work in the vicinity of GIaderun,
suburb of Warren, that village recently
had narrow escape from being swal-
lowed alive by "A terrible earthquake. 1t
is reported that the top of one of the
large hills in that vicinity has opened up
a creyice three feet wide and mile in
length with apparently unlimited depth
has been discovered. Residents of the
village report that they have experienced
no "shock" and the story probably
originated from the fertile brains of the
drillers. IT sounds very much like the
yarns the late Glib" Morgan used to tell,
and old oil men will notice this fact.
With the coming of pleasant summer
weather and settled roads the Monday
morning newspapers are again teeming
with accounts of Sunday automobile
recklessness, and the killing and maim-
ing of men, women and children. Sun
day morning at a very early hour Harold
Backus, aged %, chauffeur for Judge j.
W. Bouton of Smethport, Mexican coun-
ty, met with fatal injuries while driving
the Judges car at a 50.mile gait. In the
car were two other young men, one,
Harold Mccarthy, probably fatally, and
Frank Purtle sci iously, injured. The
car, which was a powerful machine,
crashed into a telegraph pole with suffi-
cent force to break off one of the cross
arms at the top, while the machine was
total wreck.
