The A. Cook Sons Co. have been very
busily engaged the past several weeks in

alton. The mill now being erected was
bought from VIM. d. Shields, of Claring-
ton and is a number one mill. When
completed and running it will be first

Squire G. X. Tyson, of Big Run, JET
ferson county, was presented with a
fountain pen by the late Rev. G. G. Rum
berger, on his birthday three years ago,
and shortly after he received it he was
unfortunate enough to lose it. Recently
Martin Muth found the pen in the ear of
the squire's residence. and returned it to
the owner. The latter was agreeably
surprised to find on cleaning and attempt
ing to use it that both pen and ink were
in as good condition as when lost, the
three-year exposure to the elements hav-
ing no i'll effect upon either.
The jury in the case of Mrs. Emma
Strait, charged with the murder of her
husband, Harry Strait, of Housewife, on
July 2, 1910, rendered verdict of sc-
quittal at Frank lin on Tuesday last, after
being out but two hours. 1t is evident
the jury believed the womsn's story that
she fired the shot in self-defense that
killed her husband. She testified to the
events of the day of the murder in a cool
aud collected manner and betrayed no
emotion when she told of the discharge of
the revolver. She said she believed
when she saw her husband coming to-
ward her that he meant to kill her. Mrs.
Strait also testified to her belief that her
husband had attempted to poison her a
few weeks previous by putting poison in
he: coffee, and recited other attempts on
her life.
The Butler, Warren and Forest coun-
ty oil producers who are engaged in the
effort to organize refining company
which shall put up the price of crude oil
to 81 barrel, held lengthy meeting in
Pittsburg last week and announced that
they had succeeded in selecting four OF
the directors of their proposed company,
although they will not be formally elected
for some weeks. They announced as di-
rectors the names of Homer Elliott, of
Wellsville, N. Y; NJ. W. Everson, of
Plttsburg, Joseph Schotield, of Warren,
and A. N. Sutton, of Steubenvile, o.,
none of whom except Mr.. Schofeld was
present at the meeting, The information
was made public that the company is to
be called the High Grade Oil Refining
company, and that it has a charter obtain
ed in Arizona.
Irwin F. Mong and John b. Mong, of
Ashland township, Clarion county, were
business visitors in Tionesta last Wednes-
day for few hours. The former gentle
man is the Republican nomi inee for AS
sembly in his county, and we are pleased
to learn, not from him, however, that his
chances for overcoming the Democratic
lead in that county at the November
election are mighty good, and with a
united party back of him he will swing
the county into the Republican column
on the Assembly question. Mr.. Mong is
very highly spoken of, even by those on
the opposite side of the political fence, as
man of good, clean record in every re-
spect, and who would represent his coun-
ty in the legislature with credit to him
self and his constituents. And If he
measures up with his brother, John b.,
who was one of Clarion cOunty's most
efficient census enumerators, he's all
right, aud we can conscientiously recon-
mend him as the right man for the place.
