licenses expired, and will remain
so until Judge Gillian can weigh
the great mass of evidence for

The storm of Monday blew the
roof off the old Johnston home
stead this side of Mercersburg,
and also demolished a stone
dwelling near Dickeys Station
The crew from a passenger train
saw the latter occurrence and
stopped the train and went to
the rescue of the family. There
were no casualties reported.
While Sheriff Harris was fac
ing the storm of Monday on his
way to call a sale, and holding
his gloved hand before his face
for protection from the flying
snow, the horse he was riding
plunged into a drift that held it

Jim into returning home after
having made up his mind to go.

w. Scott Brant, near Dane, in
a reporter some time ago
that 300 of the 400 quail which
was being fed. by him, failed to
up after the heavy snow
of two weeks ago. He can
not account for their disappear
ance except on the grounds that
they were covered by the snow
and that the below-zero weather

Our State Zoologist, DR.. Kalb-
fus, is either a more diligeat
s~tatistican than other states have,
or else this state beats all other
states in the Union for bears.
Not even Maine, nor any of the
