"IfOOtie" Loved Turkey.

The weather must be pretty
bad when w. Scott Brant, near
Dane, does not have a good, fresh
story to tell of doings out in that
game section. His latest is an
account of a visit from what he
calls "The Farmers Friend" in
ventilation of his opinion of our
State Game Department. Mr..
and Mrs. Brant add several hun
dred dollars to the family exche-
quer each year by raising tur-
keys. SO far this season about
one hundred little turks have ar
rived at their place, and all were
growing like a choice bit of scan
dial until Saturday June 9th, when
big hoot owl mistook one of the
old turkey hens and her flock of
seventeen for a mouse and nest
of little mice, according to Mr..
Brant's story, and killed her and
four Of the little ones, the latter
being large enough to fly.
The tragedy was discovered
next day when Mr.. Brant was
met in the woods by the thirteen
little orphans that gathered a.
bout him to be comforted, and
they led him to where the moth
er was lying with her head eaten
off. Traps set near the carcas
that night put an end to Hotties
further mistakes, and Mr.. Brant
had the satisfaction of knocking
him in the head, in pay for the
theft of ten dollars worth of
turkey.

Mexico.

What a blessing it will be to
this hemisphere if this, and sue
ceeding ADMINISTRATIONS at Wash
ington, succeed in breaking up
chronic revolutions in Mexico!
Many of these revolutions are
fomented and financed in Europe
for reasons nothing short of rob-
berry, but under a less harsh
name. Over eighty-fve per cent.
of the population are kept in de-
grading ignorance for this very
purpose-that they may be made
the dupes of others. If, it is said
by thinking men, revolutions can
be made improbable, they will
naturally cease. This is the sole
object our Administration has in
mind, and because it is a radical
departure from our accustomed
easy-going attitude toward our
neighbor on the south, Mr.. Will
son is held up to all kinds of ridi-
cule and hampered in every pos
sible way by political opponents.

Exciting RnnOff.

On Tuesday evening of last
week, Mrs. John H. While and
two children, Goldie and Earl, r.
D. 6, Chambersburg, met with an
accident that might have cost
them their lives.
Returning from market in a
one-horse wagon heavily loaded
with feed-stuff, empty crates, a
shipment of Larkins' products,
and some store goods, the har-
ness broke while going down a
steep hill, and the frightened
horse ran down a ten-foot en-
bankment, so steep that the wag-
on and its load of goods and hu-
manity landed on top of the ami
NAL. The baby rolled under the
horse, but was not seriously hurt.
Earl and Mrs. While escaped with
a few bruises. The wagon was
about demolished.
The accident happened within
two miles of the While home.
Kind neighbors cared for the
thoroughly frightened marketers
until they could be taken home.
John H. While was a former resi-
dent of this county, Mrs. While
is daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs w.
Scott Brant, near Dane. We
congratulate our friends upon
their escape from more serious
injury, as the conditions were
right for tragedy of greater
proportions.

BLAINE HERTZLER IN TROUBLE.
What Started in a Friendly TuSSle,
Ended in Deadly Struggle. Now
Held for Murder.

Harvey Blaine Hertzler, for
merly of Burnt Cabins, and for a
long time carrying the mail be-
tween that town and McConnells-
burg, but now a resident of Hag-
erstown, Nd, is in serious trouble.
1t is said that on Tuesday of
last week, Blaine and a young
man by the name of Hemphill
were joking together in Hagers-
town; then warmer words began
to pass, and these were followed
by blows.
Hemphill started to run and
was pursued by Hertzler. A Bal
timore & Ohio railroad dray, pull
ing out of Palace Theater alley,
was run into by Hemphill, who
fell against the horses. Hertzler
is then alleged to have struck him
a powerful blow on the side of his
head. Hemphill fell under the
dray. Two physicians were sum-
moned, but he expired in a few
minutes.
Hertzler jumped into a fish
wagon and was driving toward
Maugansville, near the Pennsyl-
vania line, when he was arrested
by Chief of Police Fridinger.
Justice Doub conducted an in
quest, and Hertzler was held for

for whom he was working, speaks
very highly of him.

of Knobsville, and they have
three children.

NUMBER 40
HOT WEATHER MAXIMS.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Overcome by the heat. This
will be a frequent headline in the
papers for the next three months.
In the minds Of the majority
of the people all ills resulting
from excessive heat are grouped
under one head. There are as a
matter of fact two distinct types
of ailment from this cause, heat
stroke or thermic fever, and heat
exhaustion. In the first of these
the patient usually runs a high
temperature and the treatment
calls for ice baths. In heat eX-
haustion the heart and respira-
ton are depressed. When the
humidity is high over-exertion is
more apt to cause heat exhaus-
tion.
In extreme weather endeavor
to secure some circulation of air
in the dwelling and workroom.
There is less likelihood of pros
tration when the air is in mo-
ton.
No time should be lost in Sc
curing the services of a physician
when anyone is overcome by the
heat. No layman is competent
to distinguish between the two
types and give the treatment re-
quired.
In beginning the summer
it is well to fix these few
in your mind.
Don't hurry remember it was
the tortoise that won the race.
Don't worry-for your sake
and the other fellows.
Eat regularly but sparingly-
even an ostrich should use some
discretion in hot weather.
Alcoholic beverages-if you
must use alcohol, burn it in a
chafing dish.
Avoid ice water and cold bev-
it is dangerous to para
lyze your stomach because the
thermometer is on the rampage.

Up TO BigelOw.

Under the above caption, the
Valley Spirit, of last Friday, says
editorially, that the freeing of
over a million dollars by the
courts for road repairs, puts it
squarely up to Commissioner
Bigelow to give us better roads.
The Spirit insists that the un-
businesslike practice of moving
machinery from one place to an
other is foolish. The old Cham
bersburg and Bedford pike in this
county has not received anything
like its share of work, and that,
as the machinery is now here,
work should not stop short of
finishing the job.
About ten days ago the same
paper told of the extravagant
methods of State work by citing
costs of hotel bills for the officials
while working the pike, alleging
that the board bill amounted to
more for the time than was spent
in work on the pike between that
place and the top of Cove noun
tain.
We will stand up for any ohici-
al that will give us good roads at
proper cost; as we said in anoth-
er place, the eyes of the people
are now on Mr.. Bigelow to see
if many of the accusations of eX-
travagance are true, and it is up
to him to mould the verdict they
will render.
Let's show Mr.. Bigelow that
we mean business in the practice
of economy, by doing a little
work here and there ourselves
when we find a clogged gutter,
bad rut, or any other obstacle
that could be removed probably
with a hoe or shovel, and which,
if allowed to remain, would turn
water into the roads, &c.

WELLS VALLEY MAN MURDERED.
william R. Anderson Shot to Death
While Attempting TO Defend His
Little Daughters.

.
William R. Anderson, until re-
Gently, a citizen of Wells Valley,
died last Sunday morning in the
blair Memorial Hospital, Hun
tingdon, Pa. as a result Of gun.
shot wounds made by an Italian
last Friday noon at Woodvale, a
small mining town in the Broad
Top coal region.
The deceased, aged about 49
wears, is a son Of Hartman An
derson at the grist mill in Wells
Valley, and for some time has
been employed as a teamster at
the mines.
The trouble originated about
the use Of water from a large
spring, which the Italians were
forbidden, they having their own
supply at various places. An
Italian woman having begun to
use from the spring, a man named
Long drove her away. Anderson
lived nearby, his housekeepers be-
ing his two little daughters, Alice
and Anna, ten or twelve years of
age. As Anderson came to his
home on Friday at noon he no
ticed an Italian eXpostulating
with his two daughters at the
spring, and the little girls were
|crying. Anderson hurried to the
protection of his daughters, hav-
ling in mind the rape that had
been committed in that vicinity a
flew days before. The Italian
fused abusive language such as
leads to the belief that he thought
the little girls were daughters of
.lOng and that the man who was
Interfering was Long. Whipping
TOUT a revolver, he shot at Ander-
son three times. One ball took
.etfect on the left side below the
1ribS, passing toward the right
side through the stomach, and
making a dangerous wound.
The wounded man was hurried
TO the hospital at Huntingdon, ar
fiving there at $50 Friday even
lng, but he was so badly injured
that he could not lie down in the
ambulance.
After the shooting the Italian
ied up over a hill in the direction
pt Bedford county. John Det-
weller, of 0rbisonia, was sum-
noned to take up the chase and
Pc secured Guy Locke, who has
fn automobile. They followed
Pround the hill by the road, and
pet the Italian just as he was
FOmlng down off the hill. Det-
Teler jumped out of the auto,
pulled a revolver and called on
pm to surrender. Having thrown
tway his revolver but retained
pS Knife, the Italian gave up his
ESV weapon and was taken to Or
pSonla by his captors, thence to
huntingdon, where he was lodged |
jail Saturday morning.
