all night of the 26th, swore that he was one of the hunters who had been ferried across the river by Hodollar in the morning. Witness said that it was just half-past eight, by his com- panions watch, when they left the fer- ry to go up the pike, and that at about a half mile on this side Mulholland’s they met a man who tallied to An- drew’s discription. Michael Karstetter, the other hun- ter was then called and corroborrated Schreckengaust’s testimony, though he could not identify the man they met by his clothes since he had not observ- ed them. This witness said that they had met a wagon farther up along the pike near the Advent church, in which were two men, who afterwards discovered the body. Murs. Sarah Michaels, testified that she lives at about one mile beyond Boak’s store, towards Karthaus: and also to having seen Clara Price pass her house in the morning at about nine o'clock followed, in about fifteen min- utes, by a man corresponding to the descriptions of Andrews, only as re- gard his heighth and manner of walk- ing. Witness thought that the man she saw pass her house wore a dark coat. Mrs." Jessse Irvin was the next wit- ness called. She lives between the residence of Mrs. Michael's and Kart- haus. She stated that she saw Clara Price go down the pike some time af- ter nine o'clock in the morning, follow- ed soon after by a man supposed to be Andrews. Under cross-examination, witness would not swear as to the kind of clothes worn but was positive as to the hat which she said was a black derby. Mrs. Allison Mulholland, who lives a little bevond Mrs. Irvin's, saw Clara Price pass her house at some time af: ter nine o'clock, and saw a man follow her in about five minntes. Witness was positive that the defendant was the man she saw pass her house in the morning, although at the preliminary hearing she picked out hie attorney, Mr. Chambers, as the man she saw. In crosc-2xamination, she stated as [her reason for this, that she was confused and could not get a good view ot the man. Court then adjourned until nine o'clock on Friday morning. [The WATCHMAN went to press at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening and the proceedings are given to the adjourn- ment of Courtat 6. The Common- wealth has some 30 witnesses yet to ex- amine; the defence will call 15 or 20 and the probability is that the end will not be reached before Tuesday or ‘Wednesday of next week. A full synopsis of all the testimony will be given in next weeks. WATCHMAN. ] In and Around Hannah Station. Miss Ella Long is making a short sojourn with friends in Altoona. W. F.

Died With Her Boots On: From the Helena Journal. In the first days of Leadville when wa- gons formed the only means of transporta tlon for the immense quantity of merchan dise needed there, and for the shipmen- of the large output of ore and bullion. As a consequence horses and mules were used in large nnmbers. Trains of freight wagons lined the roads leading to the great carbonate camp, and it fre- quently became necessary to turn the stock out after a hard day’s journey to graze on the adjoining hillsides. Lead- ville offered a good market for work stock of all kinds, as animals brought from the east frequently succumbed to the climatic effect of a high altitude and heavy work. Many a freighter reached the top of a hard pull only to see his best work mule lie down and die in the harness. Such inducements and easy sale brought professional horse thieves in abundance, The immunity from punishment that they seemed to enjoy and high prices paid for their plunder stimulated them to constant activity and made them bold in their profession. Saguache county, Col., was a favorite section for the operations of this frater- nity, these gentlemen making their trips with almost the {regularity ot stage coaches. Aiter an unusually bold raid a party was organized, determined to follow the trail and overtake the thieves. and if the depredators were caught to save all county expensesin the way of Sheriff fees and trials. The party started early in the morning, and, as the trail was large and hot, they were able to follow it almost at a gallop. Following along the west side of the San Luis Valley and and then through a defile of the Sangre De Christo Mountains, the course of the pursuers and pursued emerged into the Arkansas Valley, ciose to where the South Arkansas flows into the main stream. Here it was evident that the two parties could only, be a short dis- tance apart. The robbers had taken more stock than they could easily hand- le, and did not seem to be aware that they were being followed. .Two of the stockmen from the ranches on the route joined the vigilantes and furnish- ed fresh horses. About noon on the tollowing day the thieves with the stol- en stock were discovered camped at the north of Cottonwood creek. There were but two. One appeared tobe a young boy not over 16 ; the other was a fine-looking young man of perhaps 20 or 22 years of age. On being called to surrender the boy pulled a six-shooter and fired on the vigilantes. At the same time he and his companion jump- ed down behind the bank of the river from which place it was found impossi- ble to dislodge them without the loss of at least three or four men. After a hurried council of war it was decided for two men to go down the riv- I er, cross over and come up on the other "side to a point where, the fugitives could | be easily covered, and the balance to | prevent their escape from the position they were in. This was done, and when the thieves were again summcned to surrender, they simply turred and commenced firing at their two pursuers on the opposite side of the river. The fire was returned and resulted in the boy dropping dead with a broken neck and his companion falling with a bullet through the lungs. When the vigilan- tes went to where they lay the elder was still alive and the boy was, of course, dead, and proved to be a lovely young girl, with delicate and refined features. The one who could still talk refused to tell who they were or from whence they came, only that their peo- ple were respectable that he desired them to remove his boots, as he did not wish to die with his boots on. He was evidently a man of good education, but positively refused to give any informa- tion. In a few hours he also was dead and the two were buried beneath the cottonwood near the river bank. Their identity was never discovered. A Cackling Farmer. One who went before the McKinley committee as a representative of a West- ern Farmers’ Alliance asked the ques- tion: “Why should not hens’ eggs be protected by a tariff imposed upon im- ported eggs?’ Well, why should they ? The “Amer- ican workingman’ does not manufac- ture eggs ; hence, he needs no protec- tion. The hen is the great factor in the production of eggs and she is satisfied to work for her board and feathers. Does any foreign hen work for less? Of course to tax imported eggs could not benefit the Ohio or any other western farmer unless it would enable him to to sell eggs for more money than the present market price. Do the ‘“Ameri- can workingmen” wantto pay more for eggs to help the farmers? If so, they can do that without a tariff by simply paying more than the market price at each and every purchase. But the farmers’ representative de- clares that he and those he represents have as good a right to be protected by an egg tariff as others have to be protec- ted by an iron tariff, a coal tariff or a lumber tariff. Very true; but he for- gets that what he terms a “right” is but a steal and no right at all. The law gives them the power but it confers no right to rob their neighbors. The law could also give the farmers the power to sell ten eggs for a dozen and ifthe peo- ple were stupid enough to accept the situation the farmer could not be indict- ed for selling by false weights and meas- ures. After all the tariff is simply a roundabout way of comurit ing larceny and we hope the egg farmers will not be long in finding it so.--Patriot. oar Resolutions adopted by the Snow Shoe Lodge No.226 I. 0.

OF. for their attention to the Bro. and family and for their attendance at the funeral, By order of Commrrree. boys of about 15 years of age each, a third patient was placed, a very strong and violent madman of 25. One night the watchman of the institution noticed that the latter was devouring the dead body of one of his fellow-patients. The managers of the irstitution de- cided to keep the thing quiet, and they hastened to bury the dead boy, stating in the offical report that he died a nat- ural death. But rumors having aroused the suspicion of the police, the body was taken out from the grave for examin- ation. Some members were entirely missing, others were half devoured “and broken,and there were many indications of a fierce struggle with the powerful assailant, who must have killed him in one of his fits of violence. It was proved that no doctor or other official had entered that ward for three days previous to the time of the deadly struggle. Proper action will be taken against the parties responsible for the shameful occurrence. Prejudices Against Will Making. One of the most unreasonable super- stitions is that possessed by somany peo- ple that deters them from making their wills, trusting to good luck to have time when the candle of life is flicker- ing out. A lady of unusual culture and strength of character, a leader in a wide social circle, and active in movements for the advancement of her sex, died not long since of a third stroke of paraly- sis. She had a good deal of property and many articles of rare value that she designed to leave to a cherished young lady companion, but even after the second stroke, and she knew that a third would be fatal, she could not bear to think of making her will. She dropped off suddenly, and her friend is without anything, while remote relations get all. The instance is familiar to many in this city, but is not singular.—St. Paul Globe. ; .

CoUuRT PROCEEDINGS—WHAT WAS DONE BY THE COURT BEFORE THE AN- DREWS CASE was TAxeN up.—The January term of the Quarter Session Court of Centre county was opened on Monday morning at ten o'clock with Judges Furst, Riley and Rhoads on the bench.

When Court re-convened the room was crowded and after the consideration of a few petitions, reports etc., the case of the Commonwealth vs. Thos. W Searson, f.and b. was called and given to the jury. A verdict of “guilty” was returned and usual cost put upon the defendant. In the case of the Commonwealth vs. Wm. Young, charge, stealing money estate 57 from a hungarian in Lyon’s store, the defendant plead guilty inopen Court. Sentence suspended until Tuesday morning. The next case taken up was that of the Commonwealth vs. Michael Fenne- cy, James Convoy, John Jamison and Hugh McGraith charged with resisting arrest. This case is exciting much in- terest about town as the defendants were exciting a riot when attempt was made to arrest them. The grand jury found a true bill against all, and officers Garis and Foulk appeared as prosecutors. The following witnesses were examined : Joshua Foulk, Wm. Garis and Brack ! Powell, after which Court adjourned | until Tuesday morning. A full account | of this case was given in last week’s | paper. | TUESDAY MORNING SESSION. The riot case was continued; John ' Anderson, Michael Fennecy, John Jam- ison, James Convoy, Mrs. Elizabeth Reed, G. W. Cessna, Hugh McGraith, G. H. Harmon; Mr. Taggart and J. A. | Whiteman were examined after which | Wilbur F. Reeder addressed the jury | for the prisoner and Col. Jack Spangler | plead for the Commonwealth. The case was then given to the jury and | Court adjourned until afternoon. | TUESDAY AFTERNOON SESSION. Court reconvened at two o'clock with all three judges on the bench. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on two in- ! dictments, viz. . Kxciting a riot and re- sisting officers of the law, the third in- dictment, unlawful assemblage, being quashed, in the riot case. The case of G. W. Campbell vs. Wm. Beck, assault and battery occupied the rest of the afternoon session a verdict of guilty in the manner and form as in- dicted being returned. The criminal cases unfinished were all held over until next week. Ex-Judge Orvis called attention to the neccessity of having a larger Court House, stating that the present one was entirely inadequate for the fair hearing of such a case as the one occupying the attention of the Court. His Honor Judge Furst, answered, that he would place the matter before the grand jury. Court then adjourned until Wednes- day. How a Miner Saves His Stake New York Herald. An Australian “forty-niner,” who had struck it fairly rich at the gold diggings, was taking his nuggets and dust to Melbourne. He was walking along by the side of his team with his rifle under his arm, indulging in pleas- ant speculations concerning the good time he would have after he had sold his gold, when a stranger said : “Give us a piece of baccy, mate 2? Those were days when people, es- pecially those who had been to the diggings, didn’t stand on ceremony. Suspecting no treachery, the miner thrust a hand into his pocket to get a chunk of the much-prized weed. In a moment the muzzle of a pistol was thrust against his torehead, and the stranger shouted : “Ball up 1" The stranger was a bushranger, and that was the way bushrangers ordered their victims to throw up their hands before going through them. Without pausing an instant, al- though he knew that the bushranger had only to exercise a little gentle with his forefinger to put him into eternity, the miner bawled pressure out at the top of his voice : “Bob I? There was no “Bob” around there. It was a ruse conceived by the miner in the fraction ofa second and im- mediately putinto execution to distract the attention of the bushranger. It worked. The bushranger thought the miner was calling a companion to his assistance. He looked around to catch a glimpse of the fictitious “Bob.” That was the miner's opportunity. Quick as a flash he swung his left arm and knocked the pistol out of the bushranger's grasp. Then he brought his rifle to his shoulder and leveled it at the bushranger’s head. In much less time than it takes to tell it the situation had been completely reversed. The bushranger was at the mercy of the miner. “Now,” said he, “you scoun- drel, just fold your hands behind your back and march ahead of me. If you move or try to run away I'll save the hangman a job by leting daylight through you.” In that way the miner escorted the bushranger into town and handed him over to the police.
