GOLD CROWN ON PIGS TOOTH
Cartridge Shell Through Long Use
Had Come to Have Brightness
of the Precious Metal.

st. Louis.--William Wellington, .
farmer Of Bridgeton, st. Louis county,
several days ago discovered that one
Of his "fattenin'" hogs had what ap-
peared to be a gold crowned tooth.
The yellow metal cleaned every time
the hog opened it's mouth. The farmer
was puzzled.
He butchered the animal and before
he quartered it he examined the tooth.
He found the animal had in some way
got a 22-caliber brass shell around the
tooth. Frightened by long use and
worn to fit the tooth, the shell resem-
bled a perfect gold dentists crown.

week ago Wiley submitted an ultima
tum to Wilson that either Dunlap must
be dismissed or he would resign. Will
son refused to dismiss Dunlap, Dunlap
refused to resign, and therefore Wiley
made good his threat. He has been
hampered in the administration of his
office and harassed by the other Off
Gals. The recent Wiley-Wilson-Mc-
Cabe controversy was but an outcrop-
ping Of the friction that long has ex-
listed. A house committee that recent

ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION
Foe of Archibald Claims Men
in Boat Shot at Him

Scranton, Aug. William 7.
Boland, president of the Marion
Coal company and instigator OF the
impeachment charges in the United
States senate against Commerce
Court Judge r. w. Archibald, speak
ing of the attempt reported to as
sassinate him at his summer home
at Moosic Lake, near here, by four
men in boat, who fired a volley
of shots at him while he was stand
ing on the shore, declares his belief
that the attempt was the result OF
his fight against the railroads and
others.
Il have been expecting it for
some time" he said, ''becanse OF
the threatening letters l have been
receiving which stated that If
did not cease my fight on the
combination I would be killed.
Theprevious night saw two strang-
ers cycling me closely as sat on
the front veranda with my family"
Mr.. Boland said that he was
walking along the edge OF the lake
when he heard revolver shots. He
turned quickly and several bullets
whizzed past his head.
"You d pirates, what are you
trying to do, kill a man?' Boland
said he shouted to the men in the
boat. They did not answer but
pulled their hats down over their
eyes, he said, and started to row to
the other shore. He said he did
not report the matter to the police
at once for the reason that he want
ed to do little detective work of
his own.
He has refused body guard.

Highway improvements

Every township in Pennsylvania
that continues TO affiict the travelling
public with that relic of less enlight-
ened days known as the water break
or "thank- -ye-ma'm' is laying itself
open to the payment of heavy dam
ages.
Competent authorities in road
building have long since decided that
water breaks are absolutely unpeceS-
sary on properly constructed road,
and now the Superior Court of Penn
sylvania has ruled that townships
are liable not only for the damages
but for the Inconvenience caused by
these useless things.
The Pennsylvania Motor FEEDER
alton is urging friends of good roads
everywhere throughout the State to
direct the attention of supervisors
and other township officials to this
decision of the Superior Court. 1t
was rendered in the case of Lesher
versus Lemon township, Wyoming
county. The plaintiff was thrown
from his vehicle by reason of the ex-
cessive height of a water break, and
the imposition of a substantial bill of
damages on the taxpayers of the
township was sustained by the high
er tribunal.
Not only that, but the Superior
Court goes even further than the
county court, saying:
"The trial judge did not go even
as far as the act of Assembly would
authorized him to 60 i'm ruling on
the points to the answers to which
exception was taken, having confined
the attention of the jury to the dang
erous condition of the road, as occas-
stoned by the obstruction placed
therein by the direction of the super
visors, and leaving out of view en-
tirely its convenience. In the con-
struction and repair of public roads,
particularly in view of the increased
rapidity of travel upon them, it is
important for the supervisors to keep
in mind convenience as we'll as safety
in the construction and repair of
these avenues of public travel"
AS the cost of failure to comply
with the law in respect to safe and
convenient highways must fall even
tually on the farmers and other tax
payers of the townships, il is expect
ed that few more damage awards
in accordance with this latest inter-
probation of the law by the Superior
Court will tend to bring the "thank-
ye-ma'my into general disuse as a
substitute for a properly arched road.
way, which is the cheapest and best
in the long run.
