Justice McCamant Quits
Supreme Bench Soon

Justice MeCamant has announced that
he viii resign as soon as work now on
his desk is completed. He stated this
morning that there was quite lot of
work ahead of him, some of it from tht
session at Pendleton. He is putting in
eight to ten hours day on this getting
ready to go back to his home and his
p5acuce. sit will be more than week
and less than a month";" said the jurist
as a reporter from the Capital Journal
tried to get tht date concerned. Reading
between lines it will probably be two
weeks before his resignation will be
flied with the governor. The governor
Will appoint as his successor whoever is
selected for the supreme bench on the
republican ticket and this, it is now evil
dent, will be Chas A. Johns, ef Port
land.
Justice McCamant was appointed by
Governor Withyccnbe to fill the va
eanCy caused by the death of Justice
naAln early in 1917. 1t is understood
thas the confining character of the
work on the supreme bench is one of
ii reasons for the resignation and an
other that the salary is far below what
MS services command in his practice.
Justice McCamant stated this morning.
that the latter was one reason for his
resignation. 81 am not mercenary, not
lover of money, but circumstances are
such that l simply must earn more.
Win two sons to put through college
ami some business ventures entered into
sone time since that have to be carried
bes iinds the salary inadequate. This,
however, he states would not carry any
weight if it were not for the above con
ditiJns.

three years, left the famous old
hostlery between two days last
week, taking with them the fur
niture that is said to have been
the property of Mrs. Ehalt, and
leaving unpaid bills with most of
the business people in town. The
Ehalts were experienced hotel
people and made their guests feel
at home; but they had not learn
ed the art of making a hotel pay
without selling liquor; and when
they lost their license last winter
they found themselves up against
it, and took this method of eX-

Bicycle Stolen.

Monday afternoon, Sheriff Gar
land was notified by the Cham
bersburg police to look out for
two colored boys, who had stolen
a bicycle in that town and were
heading for Pittsburgh. The
Sheriff had scarcely reached the
Lincoln Way until he discovered
his boys going down street with
the machine. At the Bridge at
the west end of town he sue
ceeded in getting one of the boys
and the wheel, but the other
made a getaway.
The next morning when S. j.
Deshong came to town with a
calf, he had the boy wanted and
turned him over to the Sheriff
who took him to Chambersburg
Tuesday evening. The boy was
getting something to eat at Bert
Bard's and as Mr.. Deshong had
heard that the boy was wanted,
he thought he would save some
body some trouble by bringing
the boy to town. The boys are
now in the Chambersburg Jail.
