Bert j. Powers, of Corydon, Pa, who
mysteriously disappeared on the night of
April 22d, is believed to have been mur-
dered, or drowned in the Allegheny river.
The last time he was seen was when he
ferried four Indians across the river. All
the parties were drinking. The four In
dians were arrested and taken to the War
rem Jail, but were later released, there be-
ing no evidence on which to hold them.
The river is being dragged for Powers
body. His coat and hat we're found on
the banks of the river and there were
signs of struggle.
Apparently the advance ofcivilization
has not succeeded in extinguishing all
the glories of the oil country snake belt
as 1t concerns this section. Two young
men of Siverly left that borough Sunday
morning to visit the dens along the head
waters of Stewart run and returned with
l3 live rattlesnskes. They killed two
others who made too much objection to
going along peaceably and two got away.
The Siverly men expect to go back after
the two that got away within few days,
and few dozen more that inhabit ledge
OF rocks a mile away from where Sun
days captures we're made.-Oil City Der
