Five WoMEN BEAT MRs. MICHAEL
DOUGHERTY INTO INSENSIBILITY. —
There was a regular young riot out near
Axe Mann, one day last week. Five
women of that vicinity proved them-
selves pretty characters, indeed, by turn-
ing out and flogging one of their sex
most unmerecifully. Tales of such ac-
tions are often read about in the papers
coming from the rough foreign quarters
of large cities and mining distriets, but
we must confess we didn’t have an idea
that there was a set of women in Cen-
tre county who could so far forget their
sex as to do such things as are reported
in this case of last week.
It happened that for some reason or
other Mrs. Aaron Mallory and her
daughter and Mrs. Dennis Kane and
her two daughters had & spite at old
Michael Dougherty, who lives along the
old Lewistown road. They laid their
plans to catch him and beat him one
day and thought to inveigle him down
the road by driving his cow back one
evening when it had started towards
home. Instead of bringing Michael af-
ter the cow their action called out his
wife Sophia. She went down the road
to know the meaning of her neighbor’s
actions and when she had reached the
little bridge, about two hundred yards
below her house, the five women fell up-
on her and beat her most unmercifully.
She tumbled off the bridge into a ditch,
a distance of eight feet, and cut her head
badly. She became unconscious after
this, but later recovered enough to get
to tke house where she laid in a danger-
ous condition for a week. Her body
was 8 mass of bruises and bleeding
wounds and Dr. E. S. Dorworth, of this
place, who was called to attend her,
found her in a very precarious condition.
The assailants were arrested on Wed-
nesday morning and will be given a
hearing before ‘Squire Keichline this af-
ternoon.
The women claim justification for
their attack in the vile names that Mrs.
Dougherty has been accustomed to call
them at every opportunity. There is
no denying the fact that Michael's
spouse is not one of the gentlest of the
Creator's lambs, for, in truth, she is a
most notorious character. But even
this does’nt excuse her assailants for
doing as they did. They should not
have thrown dignity to the winds in
such a manner and while it might be
possible that the flogging is just about
what Sophia needed they would have
done better in paying no attention,
whatever, to her, for she woald soon
have ceased her abuse when she found
that no one cared a picayune for it.
A GREAT TiME AT STATE COLLEGE
oN THE FourTE—There will be no
necessity for people of this vicinity to
go far away to find enjoyment on the
nation’s great holiday next week. The
State College band has arranged io
have a great. demonstration at the Col-
lege to which all are invited.
Besides a big parade at 1 o'clock they
will have exciting sports on Beaver
field. Bicycle races, running races, a
fat man’s race, catching a greased pig
for the pig and climbing a slippery pole
for the reward on top of it will be fea-
tures that will entertain a great crowd.
During the evening there will be a
fantastic’ parade and quite extensive
fire works. The latter will be put off
in front of the band hall, where a festi-
val will begin with a chicken and waffle
supper at 5 o'clock p. m. All kinds of
refreshments will be served in addi-
tion.
The gentlemen who have charge of
the arrangements promise a good time
to all who attend and there is every
reason to believe that they will do it.
There will be a number of bands from
nearby towns to give concerts during
the day and a general good time is as-
sured.
Go to State College on the Fourth.
WomaN’s VANITY ON THE STREET.
—Did you ever sit on the inside of a
plate glass window and watch the girls
and women who pass along the street ?
The average store window is of plate
glass and under certain conditions it re-
flects the image of things within its
focus with almost as much nicety as a
fine mirror. The women have found
this out long ago and you would be sur-
prised to know how many of them re-
sort to these street looking glasses to see
if their hat is on straight, or if their
gown hangs just right.
It is the most natural thing in the
world for a woman to look in a store
window and thus it happens that half
the people who see her doing it are not
aware that it is wholly vanity and not
a desire to see the articles displayed
there that nearly always draws her eyes
toward the glasses.
Just sit down inside a store some day
and watch the fair sex swirk and smile,
as they view themselves in the windows,
and possibly you will see a few fool men,
| too, whose heads are light enough to be
! turned clear around to see themselves.

AN EXCELLENT SHow.—Pawnee
Bill's wild west show pitched its tents
on the East side flats, Thursday, and all
day the grounds were swarmed with
eager spectators. Both afternoon and
evening performances were largely at-
tended and all were thoroughly pleased
with the exhibition. Ali the different
phases of frontier life were portrayed in
a realistic and thrilling manner, and for
an exhibition of its kind it is the best
that ever visited Warren. The daring
riding and feats of horsemanship ex-
hibited by bands of Indians, cowboys
and Mexicans, was of a high order, and
filled the hearts of all with admiration:
The boomerang throwing, by the Aus-
tralian bushmen, was a novel feature
and deserving of special commendation.
In short the entire performance from
start to finish was excellent, and held
the closest attention of the large audi-
ences.— Warren, Pa., Murror.

manner. The “Golden Gate” was rep-
resented by Miss Mabel Norris, as

ral decorations were beautiful, the mu-
sic, with Miss Laura Kephart as organ-
ist, was excellent, the speeches by the

tle white robed girls in the ‘‘Lord’s
Prayer” made one think of angels.

THE ARMOR ESTATE AGAIN.—The
Armor estate appears tohave gotten in-

will of Mrs. Armor was in dispute and
when that was settled it was supposed
the matter was ended. Letters of ad-
ministration were taken out by two of
the heirs, two of the other heirs going
their security. Mr. David Butts, who
is the guardian for other heirs filed a
bill of exceptions against the adminis-
tor: claiming the bail given by them
was inadequate. Upon those exceptions
Judge Love dismissed the administra.
tors and decreed that a large bond
should be filed. The same persons
again took out admistration letters and
increased the bond to the sum specified
by the court, and the same heirs went
on the bond again. This Mr. Butts ob
jects to and has cited the adminis-
trators into court again.— Hornet.
