WINCHESTER ON TRIAL.—The trial
of Amassa Winchester for the murder
of William Reeder began in Lock
Haven Tuesday morning. The murder-
er appeared in court and seemed very
little affected by the gravity of his crime
and when the clerk asked him “guilty
or not guilty” he stood straight as an
arrow and in a firm voice answered : ‘not
guilty.”
Beside him sat his father and cousin,
Miss Shaffer. The preliminaries being
hurried through with the work of em-
panelling a jury began. This took some
time, for thirty two names were called
before twelve that were satisfactory
could be selected. The jurymen are
these : C. Herman, Noyes township, la-
borer; H. C. Chantham, Crawford
township, huckster ; Ellery Tobias,
Woolrich, clerk ; George W. Bower,
Mill Hall, axe maker ; John Arnold,
North Bend, laborer ; Irvin I. Fargus,
Dunnstown, laborer ; David Hahn, Su-
gar Valley, farmer ; William A. Han-
na, Woodward, farmer ; Saul Kryden
Bald Eagle township, laborer; A. B
Sperring, Bald Eagle township, farmer ;
Joseph W. Hubbard, Beech Creek
township, farmer ; David Baird, Dunn-
stable township, farmer.
The crime for which they are trying
‘Winchester was committed on Septem.
ber 5th, '94. Winchester had become in-
volved in altercation with Joseph Moore
in Peck’s pool room and had cut Moore
in the back. William Reeder stepped
up to Winchester and attempted to
have him put away his knife. Winches-
ter turned on Reeder, stabbed him in
the neck and inflicted several cuts on his
head and neck. Reeder staggered back
through the room, fell to the floor and
soon breathed his last. Winchester was
arrested shortly after.
A LETTER FROM THE LAND OF THE
MormoNs.—Many of our readers will
remember Larry Curtin, who lived in
the Bald Eagle Valley a few years ago
and who left this country to become an
attache of the Ouray Indian reservation
service away in Utah. From time to
time the WATCHMAN received enter-
taining letters from him, after he had
gone, but we had heard nothing of him
for a long time until the following
which he had written toa friend was
mailed us. He says.
“I am still among the Utes, but have never
been able to get my old place back which I
lost at the incoming of the present adminis-
tration, in connection with the Ouray Agency.
There was a man sent out to Ouray to take
charge there who is a personal friend of
Armstrong's the Commissioner’s clerk for In-
dian settlements, in place of Col. Byrnes who
was appointed one of the Commissioners to
settle the Indians.
I was very sorry to hear of Uncle Andrew's
death. Happening to be at Ouray at the time
the news reached there, Col. Byrnes who isa
Pennsylvanian, sent for me on Sunday, had
all the employees of the Agency gathered in
the office and read to us Col. MecClure's
eulogy from the Phila. Times.
Byrnes is a fine reader and thinks this trib
ute to Gov. Curtin (the old War Governor) tre
finest thing he ever saw in print.
Col. Byrnes was also a great friend of the
late I. Irvin Gregg. He was under Gregg in
thearmy and is continually inquiring about
him Would like to have some particulars
regarding him alsoa photograph if you can
get hold of one. It weuld all be highly appre-
ciated.
I have decided to settle down on a ranch on
the reservation. There is very little good
land in the Ouray Reserve but the Unita
(where I am) is all good land. It will take the
Comes. a year before they get through with
Ouray reserve after which they will com-
mence on this one.” Yours ete.

James A. B. Miller continues to smile
over his Christmas present. His wife has
named her Ruth.
This being the week of prayer more
than the nsual interest is being manifest-
ed in the gurion meetings held in the
Presbyterian church. The attendance so
far has been exceptionally good.
For several days, the beginning of the
week the jingle of the sleigh bells were
stopped by the rain, but the weather on
Tuesday night, lowered the mercury suf-
ficiently to make the sleighing very good
again.
C. S. Fortney, one of Pctter Twp. trust-
ed officials, accompanied by his wife tar-
ried this week a short time with his
brother-in-law O, ‘B. Krebs. They were
on their way to the Mountain City for a
brief vacation.
Squire Kellerand wife with their babe
went to Jefferson hospital this week
where they purpose having an operation
performed on their baby’s lip and palate.
We trust the operation will be successful
and the precious life of thelittle one be
spared. 2
Last Friday Charles Thomas, one of O.
M. Whipple's, Stone Valley's lumber king,
employees, was caught between two mov-
ing logs and had his leg broken below the
knee. Dr. Biglow adjusted the break and
he is resting comfortably at the home of
the proprietor.
The sudden and sad death of Albert
Martz which occurred at Kensington, last
Friday, was wired to his parents here who
will likely have his body raised and
brought here for interment. Young
Martz, who was about 2) years old, was a
glass blower at the above place, and from
what we can learn was one of the victims
of the explosion last week. He will be
remembered as the crack base-ball pitch-
er during last season with our nine. The
family have the sympathy of the commu.
nity in this their sad hour.
Last Saturday evening the elected offl-
cers of Tussey council No. 515 were

DREIBLEBIS-EWING.—A very pretty wed.
ding took place at noon on the 3rd at the
home of the bride's father, Hezekiah Ew-
ing, near Fairbrook, when his daughter,
Miss Mattie, gave her hand and heart to
Martin Driblebis. Rev. J. C. Armentrout
assisted by the Rey. A. A. Black tied the
matrimonial knot so tight that it will be
exceedingly hard to even loosen. Miss
Linnie, a sister of the bride was maid of
honor and John Driblebis, a brother of
the groom, was best man. The ceremony
was witnessed by a goodly number of
relatives and friends, who heaped con.
gratulations on the happy couple and did
ample justice to the splendid dinner.
The bride and groom left on the after-
noon train for the State Capitol where
thoy staid until Saturday sightseeing. On
their return they were given a reception
at Daniel Driblebis’, which was a very
pleasant social affair. The groom is a
well to do farmer, a good whole souled
fellow and is to be congratulated on
securing such a good wite, who will do
her part in making his home comfortable
and happy.

Mrs. Letitia T. Holl, wife of the Hon. J. H
Holt, of Moshannon, Centre Co. Pa., departed
this life, at her home on the morning of Dec.
13, 1894, in her sixty third year. Her death
was sudden and unexpected. She had not
been very well for some time, but there was
nothing alarming, as she was attending to her
househeld duties, as usual. On the Sabbath
before she atteaded church and seemed un-
usually happy, though she was always of a
happy temperament. On that day she was
made especially happy in witnessing one of
her sons, who with five others, made a public,
profession of his faith in Christ, and, in the af.
ternoon she stood sponsor for one of her
grandchildren who was baptized at her home
