Cole, of Forest City, at Whites Val
ley, turns out over ten thousand feet
of lumber every day and teams are
busy hauling to Forest City.
AT fire in Montgomery, N. Y,
last Friday one man lost his life.
The loss of property was $4,000
and consisted of a municipal build
ing, high school and livery stable.
The dead man was Hugh Carroll,
father of Joseph Carroll, of Port

The case of Kreitner Bros.
against Cortright & Son was settled
by Mr.. Cortright Monday morning
before going into court. Kreitner
Bros. took out mechanics lien
against Cortright & Son for labor
and material at the time of building
the latter's barn last year. The lien
amounted to about $1,000.
President Wilson's remark that
he intends to keep a sharp eye on
Jersey was in all probability made
with the sincerest of intentions, but
there seems to be a prevailing i'm
preston that, when he finds out
what is expected of him as Chief Exc
cutive of the United States, he will
conclude to let foreign matters reg
ulate themselves.
Fred Weinman, of oregon, was
given hearing before Burgess G. A.
McCarty on Saturday for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. He was
arrested by Sheriff Kimble. The
burgess sentenced Weinman to 10
days in the county Jail but instead
of serving sentence he paroled him
in care of the sheriff. Should he
break his parole, Weinman will be
brought to Jail. His home is in Ore
gon.
The bill to increase the amount
of money to be paid for live stock
slaughtered by order of the state
live stock sanitary board was favor
ably reported by the house agricul-
tural committee recently. The COM
mittee took no action on the bill
to standardize lime for agricultural
purposes on which a hearing was
held and Secretary of Agriculture
Critchfield heard in favor of the
measure.
Miss Anna Baker, a former at
tache of The Citizen office, is in line
for Carnegie hero medal. One day
the latter part of last week she
stopped a team of horses belonging
to Mr.. Borsch from running away.
True there were men upon the street,
but Miss Baker was right on the
spot when the horses started. She
stepped right out into the deep,
thick mud on Main street, grabbed a
rein and by talking to the team
brought the horses to a stand still.
Fire consumed large two-fam-
lily dwelling at Rowlands Sunday
evening. The house was occupied
by Cornelius Perry and Lewis Kizer
and their families. Flames were
discovered leaping from the roof OF
the house by neighbors about Z
o'clock Sunday evening. Very little
furniture was saved. The fire is
supposed to have caught from a de-
fective chimney, as the flames were
| confined at first to the roof. The
building was the property of the
Kimble Lumber company.

"A pretzel factory is the --latest
industry for Wilkes-Barre and it i!
expected to be in full operation il
two months. The building will be {
two-story brick structure, contain
ing all the latest machinery for the
making of pretzels, two large ovens
packing, shipping, boiling, drying
and sailing rooms. The manufacture
of pretzels is an interesting process
The flour is mixed as if to make
bread, raised, then twisted into thu
shape of pretzel, boiled, salted anC
baked. But few people know tina
the pretzel is boiled in one of it
processes and that there is no ma
chinery for twisting it into it's com
plicated form, this all being done b!
hand.
Every person of good mora
character is assured by the Constitu
tion of Indiana, adopted in 1851, tn,
privilege of practicing law in an.
Court of the State. Nor is this priv
ilege confined to those who wish t.
prosecute or defend their owl
causes-a right which is common il
many States besides Indiana. TIL
