The Sunken Garden

| In the hard coal country the law has been fixed
that surface title to land doesn't carry with it
ownership of what lies beneath.
| At the head of Williams street, in Pittston, Pa,
lives aged couple whose lifetime savings are
represented in humble home, with garden patch
in the rear.
One day an agent of the rich anthracite trust
raped at this door and told the old lady that un
less she paid a big sum of money the trust would
mine the coal from underneath the homestead, in
which event it couldn't guarantee that the surface
would stay up.
She hadn't the big sum and there was no way
by which she could get it. So she told the agent
that she couldn't meet his terms but she explained
| to him that the little garden and the wee house
were all that she and her aged husband possessed
and that he was bedridden and couldn't work and
that all the income they had was what she derived
from tilling the garden.
/ Next day, as she worked In the garden, the
ground began to waver as If shaken by an earth
quake and she hobbled as fast as she could toward
the house, but before she got to it great patch OF
her choicest garden stuff fell with thud into the
mine beneath, and she narrowly escaped falling
with it.
Other gardens in the neighborhood Jared like
wise. Some houses also suffered. There is no re-
dress. The law protects the property of the big
trust and it compels the small home owner to take
chances

BODY FOUND IN SNOW.
Pittsburg Restauranteur Had BeeI

Pttsbure Restauranteur Had Been
Shot in Face Five Times.
Pittsburg, Kan, Feb. 5.-The body
OF Samuel Redd, 80 years old, pro-
rrietor Of restaurant here, was
found in the snow early this morn
ng near Dunkirk, a mining camp
midway between Pittsburg and Gil
rard Redd had been shot in the
face five times with a revolver.
The snow of the early morning
covered any tracks that might have
furnished a clue to Redd's assassins.
1t was learned, however, that Redd
had attended a dance last night at
Dunkirk and it is supposed he was
waiting for a car to return to Pitts
burg when he was attacked. A gang
of ruffians has been terrorizing coal
camps in the north part of Crawford
county lately and for this reason
the authorities are finding it difficult
to secure Information from the for
eigners, who fear to answer any
questions asked them.

London, Feb. 5.-The Bulgarans
are devoting their chief attention to
the bombardment of Adrianople and
an attempt to capture the Gallipoli
Peninsula and SO take the Turkish
forts in the rear.
An official dispatch, issued at Con-
stantinople, indicates that the Bull
gfrians have been successful in their
first operations in the latter quar-
ter, and, according to a Sofia dis
patch, the capture of Gallipoli is the
chief object of the Bulgarian ambi
tions for the time being and no SER
ious attempt will be made to force
the Chatalja lines.
The same dispatch says that the Bull
garian attack on Gallipoi is support
ed by the Greek navy in the Gulf OF
Saros. Fifty thousand Bulgarians
were landed along the coast last No
vember and it may be presumed that
during the armistice this force was
strengthened by artillery.
Should the Bulgars capture the
Turkish forts there is nothing to pre-
vent the Greek fleet from entering
the Dardanelles, where, in the opin-
ion of naval officials, it could easily
defeat the inferior Turkish fleet, in
which case Constantinople would be
at the mercy of the allies. :,
