On Thursday night while Hon. Peter
Berry, of Plumer, was driving home on
his return from business trip in Oil City
his buggy was struck by a south bound
automobile on Seneca street near the In
dependent refinery. The Berry buggy
was demolished aud the owner thrown to
the roadway. He was brought to town
where he received surgical attention and
he was then taken home in an outfit hired
from the McGuigsn livery barn. APP
parently the hurts he sustained we're not
of serious character but Mr.. Berry is
not so young as he was once and his
weight is enough over that of an ordinary
man to make such a fall as he suffered
liable to be followed by ill-results that
would not appear Immediately.
Glenn Reib, the eleven yesr-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred l.. Reib, of Tio-
nesta township, was accidentally shot
through the right arm Saturday morning
by his thirteen-year brother, Roy.
The two boys and Leslie Childs were
hunting on the hill short distance above
the Reib home and Roy was carrying a
32. 2.calibre rifle. While he was loading
the gun it slipped from his hand and as
he made quick grab for the weapon he
caught hold of the trigger and the load
was discharged. The ball struck Glenn
just b bslow the right elbow, passed through
the arm and came out aboye the elbow
The boy was quickly brought home and
Or. j. G. Dunn was summoned, who
could not find that any bones were
broken. The young man has very sore
arm but is resting as easy as could be
expected under the circumstances.
-Messrs. Coleman & Watson yesterday
struck the first axe in the clearing of the
permanent right-of-way for their logging
railroad which shall connect their timber
lands on Hemlock with their mill plant
at the mouth of Johns run. The privi-
lege of going over the land intervening
has been smicsbly secured, after much
delay on account of the many interests
involved, but it is hoped to still do much
in the way of getting good start on the
work, so that at the spring opening the
work of grading and laying ties and rails
can be rapidly carried forward. All the
equipment for both the road and the mill
plant has been ordered and will be here
as fast as needed, and 1t is expected the
plant will be in full operation early next
summer, possibly by the first or middle
of June. This enterprise is bound to
give Tionests prosperity squirt which
will continue for the next half dozen
years or longer, consummation which
we shall all gladly welcome.
From present indications it appears
as though the two proposed amendments
to the constitution have been defeated in
the State, which impels the Punxsutaw-
ney Spirit to remark: at does tend to
make a man lose confidence in the re-
farandum whan two innocant and nar-
