"A few of our citizens witnessed a
spirited auto race on the main street of

neck until finally the most powerful one
forged ahead. Fortunately there wasn't
man, woman or child on the street, 9TH

as one witness remarked, they looked like
the devil tearing down the street at So
mile clip.

Lyman Cook OF Nebraska has author
ity from the Government to clean out and
improve the channel of the Allegheny
river between Hickory and Pittsburg,
and on Monday began work at the former
point. Two of his assistants are Albert
Lawrence and a. w. Stroup, ex experienced
rivermen and pilots on the Allegheny.
During the winter and spring floods
many distractions were washed into the
low water channel making the running
of river craft quite hazardous and often
causing much damage to boats and
barges.
Daniel Fritz, of Oil City, is a farmer.
He has a farm near Trunkeyville on the
placid Allegheny. Incidentally he raises
fresh vegetables or tries to, but he has
had bad success this summer. There are
too many woodchucks on his farm and
on an island near nis residence, who
chuck wood and devour all his green
stuff. He can't sit up nights with gun
for there are too many groundhogs to
kill. Therefore all lovers of woodchuck
should voyage down theTiver and fill up
with their favorite meat and thus help
Mr.. Fritz in good cause. Warren Times.
1T would appear from the following
from Mondays Oil City Derrick that the
rrepressible Dave Traynor is again in
limbo and ripe for another trip to Ale-
ghenytown: "Through the arrest in New
Castle Friday of d. W. Traynor three
horses stolen in Somerset and Indiana
counties were located in that city and re-
turned to the rightful owners Saturday,
One of the horses had been sold to Charles
Houck, OF New Castle, and when the
officers found $50 in Traynor's pocket
they gave $50 of it to Houck, as that is the
amount Traynor says he received for the
horse"

their wives, on I lr of inspection of the

improving of navigable conditions of the

an special train of the Pennsylvania

today and expect to be in Oil City tomor-
row morning at o'clock, but can remain
only about one hour. Leaving Oil City
the party will stop at Franklin, Emlen-
ton, Parker and other towns along the
river. A prolonged stop will be made at
Parker, one mile south of the mouth of
the Clarion river, where one of the sites
for the storage reservoirs for flood pre-

Pennsylvania Volunteers, in reunion
to be held in Erie, Sept. 10th, the semi
centennial anniversary of the departure
of the troops Tor the front, The regiment
was recruited in the northwestern part of

tertainment of the survivors. A rem

cruited in Tionesta and vicinity by the
late Capt. d. S. Knox, and 1t is quite
likely good percentage of them will be
present at this reunion.
