the sportsmeu of Central Pennsylvania to
have the next legislature pass an appro.
priation of a scalp bounty law. For the
last four years commissioners of the

years, a former resident of Pleasantville,
died Jan. 20. 1912, at the Soldiers Home
at Erie, of which he had been an inmate
for some time past. He was veteran OF
the Civil war, serving two enlistments.
He was three times married, his third
wife and two children, Mrs. Samuel
Schwartzfeger, of Seneca, Pa, and Mrs.
Emmett Brown, of near Kellettville, Pa,

survive. The funeral services were held

Enterprise, Pa, with interment in the
Cheney cemetery.
Friday afternoon Il. ID. Collins, the

was in the city calling upon his many
friends. Like many other residents OF
Forest county, he is deeply interested in

as the "Tionesta Water Power company"
which is seek ing charter from the state.
There is strong suspicion that this is
another attempt to gobble up the water
rights on Tionesta creek, and to accom-
plsh, by another way, what proved a
failure last year through the strenuous
opposition OF the people of Clarion, EEK,
Forest, Venango, Jefferson and Warren
counties oil City Blizzard.

Mrs. Jamima Chambers, of East
Hickory, who will soon reach her ninety
second birthday, fell through trap door
into the cellar at her home last Friday.
She was severely bruised, but not seri-
ously hurt. Notwithstanding her ex-
treme age. she is now able to sit up in a
chair. Previous to this accident she was
unusually active and spry for one so old,
being able to go about the house and
home. About year ago Mrs. Chambers
fell through the same cellar way, with no
serious results. Her daughter, Mrs. Ella
Howe, who lives above East Hickory, on
the river road, also fell into a cellar few
days since, but suffered little injury.
