Hereafter Potter county jurors are to
be removed from the wink and nod line.
The jury box through all the years has
faced not the court, defendant and wit.
nesses, but the spectators-a fact to which
many attorneys have objected. There is
a tradition that at times, jurors have been
as much influenced in reaching verdict
by the mods, signs and winks of Ian
gusge not wholly confined to secret So
cieties ss by the evidence. Jurors in
Coudersport Court house will hereafter
turn there backs on the audience and
face the responsibilities placed upon
them.
State game commissioner Kalbfus re-
ports that over 500 deer we're killed in
Pennsylvania during the fifteen day sea-
son this year. The Doctor may have fig
ures on this subject, but we seriously
doubt their accuracy. AS there are not
more than 20 counties in the state, and
probably less than that, in which any
deer are left, this would be 40 deer to the
county, an average entirely too great for
any thinking person to admit. The peo-
pie heresbout are not all from Missouri,
vet they'll have to be shown the official
figures before they will take the 8. g. c.'s
word for it.
Superintendent Cottle of the Forest
Telephone company, Marienvilie, is also
somewhat of a bear slayer. having added
two fine specimens-mother and cub-to
his string last Saturday. A Tidioute
hunter had trailed the pair for four days,
giving up the chase over in jerks town
ship. He told Mr.. Cottle where he had
left the trail and Jim took his bear-dogs
and went after them, and was not long in
effecting their capture. They are said to
he handsomely coated, black as Jet, and
it is Mr.. Cottle's intention 10 have the
little fellow, which weighed about 90
pounds, "set up" by the taxidermist.
State Fish Comm issioner William e.
Meehau says the states output Of trout
fry this winter will be greater than that
of the United States Government fish
cries. The catch of eggs so far amounts
to about IL, 1000, 900. This is more than
ever before, aud not only larger than the
Federal Government output, but greater
eggs were secured from the Bellefonte,
Spruce Creek and Cory hatcheres, and
it is believed that about 100000 trout
fry will be secured. The cost through
the improved methods and large collec-
ton will be about 81 so per thousand.
One year ago the Northwestern Anti
tuberculosis League was organized to
carry on the fight against consumption in
the Northwestern portion of Pennsylva-
mia; they took the Bon Air Sanitorium,
which had eight beds, and during the
succeeding eight months increased the
capacity to forty beds and today there are
about thirty people on the waiting list,
thus showing the necessity of the exist
ence of such work. The proceeds from
the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals
will assist this society to increase the ca
pacity of the Bon Air Sanitorlum. No
one can tell when some of their friends
: will need the services of an institution OF
this character. Put your pennies into
Christmas Seals and help to perpetuate
the Bon Air Sanitorium.
