Gen. Grant, the greatest fighter this
country ever produced, for that!
A slight knowledge of history
might indicate that a small handful of
Spaniards, under Cortez, walked
through Mexico slaughtering Med-
cans like sheep, with little, or no re-

campaigns, Bernal Diaz, as the ferc-

ed great losses upon the Spaniards,
and on one occasion drove them from
the country with a massacre of nearly
all their forces. The Spaniards won
with arms and armor, and, above all,
with other Mexican allies!

soldiers ever did.
With these facts of history, it is
quite evident that ten Mexicans,
equally as wen-armed, as we'll
equipped, as well fed and as well Of
ficered as other troops, cannot be
whipped by one soldier of any other
nation.
The fact that he is neither well
armed or equipped is where the Mex

coWardice.

Charlie Thomas Again In Limbo.

Charles o. Thomas, formerly a grocer
of Brushton and now resident of Cal
lery Junction, was arrested last night at
6S Arthur street by County Detectives
Paul Sigal and Edward Weber. He is
said TO be wanted in three counties for
horse stealing. On his person we're found
long letters from women, each of whom
he had declared in letters to be "the only
woman for me-" Out of almost 100 letters
found on Thomas, all but one we're from
Pittsburg women, and one was written
by a McKeesport woman. The letters
written by Thomas, In almost every case,
were answers to matrimonial advertise
ments. The letters averaged from eight
to 10 pages in length. In each Thomas
expressed his love and admiration for the
person addressed. A ball of wax and
several blank keys were found on Thom-
as. 1t is believed he operated by asking
each woman to whom he wrote il he
might visit her at her home. He would
make prolonged visits and during his
stay would make wax impressions of the
door keys. Thomas arrest followed The
receipt by the local detectives ofa circular
from Butler county. 1t is believed he
will be held by the local authorities pend
ing an investigation of robberies COM
mitted in Pittsburg homes recently
Pittsbnrg Gazette Times, Sunday, 14th.
1t seems hard for that man Thomas to
keep out OF the clutches of the law. He
was caught with team of stolen horses
from Scott Agnew at Cooksburg. this
county, something over year ago. and in
default of $500 bail was placed in Jail here.
Some time after he was released and his
bail bond was forfeited to the county, the
supposition being that he was wanted in
another Jurisdiction as a witness. When
here he used crutches, claiming to be
suffering from disease of the hipbone.

Man May Die.

AS a result OF a quarrel at a camp of
Italian laborers near the chemical plant
short distance above Mayburg, last
Saturday night, one man is in the War
rem hospital in precarious condition
with bullet hole in his chest. Another
man has skipped out, thought to have
been shot in the hip or back. The actual
facts connected with the affi are dilfi-
cult to ascertain as those who know them
are either gone or will not talk. Con-
stable Shannon Of Kellettville went up
Monday to investigate the matter, but
was unable to get much Information. .
1t seems that the quarrel started in the
boarding house kept by Dominick Del.
grossio, and was between Tony Wood
sum and Dominick Vassi, half brothers,
brother of each of these men being also
involved. The boarding boss ordered
the four men out of the house when the
trouble began, between 8 and 10 o'clock,
and shortly after some gun shots were
heard, and some Of the party came back

where near the back. Tony Woodsum,
who is said to have received a shot in the

how badly he was hurt. Who fired the
shots that wounded these men is not
known to the sutht rites, but probably

He was walking behind and little to
one side of Huff, and thought he had the
gun on the safety cock. He could not
explain how it was discharged.

Recent Deaths.
COPELAND


AFRO A. Copeland, perhaps the oldest
citizen of Harmony twp, passed away at
his home near Stewart Run, Forest
county, Pa, Tuesday evening, Dec. IS,
1913, about O'Clock. The infirmities in
cident to age-had crept upon him quite
rapidly within the past year, and his
failing health had been noted by old
friends as his visits to this place became
less frequent. Mr.. COPELAND was born
at Brsintree, Vermont, March IS, 1882,
and in 1850, when a young man of Is
years, he came to this community in
which he had since made his home,
honored, respected and revered as friend
by all who knew him. In all our years
of acqusintaDceship with him we never
saw him in an impatient mood, but
geniality and good nature we're always his
best traits OF character, and his friends
were very many. Loyalty to his friends
was another of his best attributes, and his
word once given could always be de-
pended upon.
Mr.. Copeland was married in early life,
and OF that union seven children survive,
his wife dying in 1894.

HITCHCOCK PLEADS
FOR us. OWNERSHIP
OF TELEGRAPHLINES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Govern-
nent ownership or control of telegraph
lines again is recommended by Post
master General Hitchcock in his com
plete annual report transmitted to con-
gress. Mr.. Hitchcock says:
''In the last annual report the opin-
ion was expressed that telegraph lines
in the United States should be made a
part of the postal system and operated
in conjunction with the mail service.
ct is believed that under proper
management such a consolidation
would result in important economies
and permit adoption of lower telegraph
rates. Now that a postal savings sys-
tenn has been established and a parcel
post provided for, there would seem to
be no better opportunity for the prof
table extension of our postal business
than through the adoption of a gov
eminent telegraph system"
Mr.. Hitchcock also recommends that
the use of the franking privilege be re
stricted ito official correspondence. not
exceeding four ounces in weight. and
TO the mailing OF such speeches and
documents that are printed by order of
congress"

new style Of bathing costume set by the

When Mrs. Taylor appeared on the
beach recently a chorus of "Ohs" and
Abs went up, for part of her bathing
costume consisted of long pair Of
black wooden gloves.
Why Mrs Taylor wears gloves while
in bathing nobody appears to know
No explanation is forthcoming from the
wearer who only smiles systematically
when asked her reasons. It can not be
that she wishes to keep her hands and
