The two water wells on the Proper
farm, on German Hill, had been failing
for some time and were recently drilled
through the Mountain sand, the work
being finished last week. A good strong
supply OF water was found in the bottom
of the sand at depth OF about 270 feet.
gas engine will be placed at each well
and the water will be pumped into two
tanks. The wells we're pumped with the
machine and there was no sign of ex-
hausting the supply, so 1t is reasonably
certain the farm will have an abundance
of good water.
On Monday at The Casing Head Gas
Co.'S plant near Fagundus, Arlie Vroh-
man, oung man living near Titusville,
backed up against the end OF the shaft of
running engine. His clothing was
caught by the shaft around which he was
whirled until the engine was stopped. It
was found on his release that his left leg
was broken below the knee and the knee
itself crushed; the right hip dislocated, +,
and worse than all his scalp was torn
loose from the skull by striking a beam.

The following little pleasantly from
the pencil of our well-beloved friend,
Colonel Bowen OF the Oil City Blizzard,
is reproduced, not so much because OF the
graceful reference to our ''youth and
beauty" but rather TO show how little
envy is cooped up in the average editorial
breast when an impecunious brother
happens to strike a streak fgood luck:
"Jake Wenk, the young aud handsome
publisher of the FOREST REPUBLICAN, is
in clover, some of his farmer friends
having presented him with load of
sausage and barrel or two of 'bradt
wurst, whatever that may be. Jake is
grateful for all these handouts, as they
reduce the high cost of living,
and has clever way of acknowledging
their receipt in manner designed to
suggest an encore"
"A Sheffield correspondent of the War
rem Times thus notes some clever crayon
work by former Tionesta boy: Frank
X linesliver has shown his ability as car
toonst and as an exhibition of his work
he has initiated Mutt and jeff by using
them to illustrate the recent Perry
GRAPHIC fiasco, when the inventor took
some kind ofa pill and skipped out ofthe
town and God only knows where he is at

illustration on exhibition in a barber
shop. He winds up the climax picture of
the last one with showing jeff fioored with
a black eye from Mutt when he found
the Perry GRAPHIC factory closed after
having dreamed of riches. Frank should
foil W up this work and make It study
as he has the ability of making name
for bimself by his clever work. The
Warren Times of Dec. 10th contained a
good illustration of this cartoon.
The proprietors of tho numbering
plant of Coleman, Harter IL Mccormick,
at Johns run, were made happy last FRI
day afternoon to see the first train of cars
cross the new bridge spanning Tionests
creek and tring over train load of lum-
Der. The new structure stood the test
perfectly and trains will be now running
until all of the manufactured
lumber and other material have been
shipped. Ths company has between
4 600, 900 and 100000 feet of very fine
pine lumber in their yards and it will re-
quire considerable time to move this
sto *, all of which finds ready market
at good prices. The mill has been shut
down for the winter and will probably
not start up again before April. tn the
