The girl died but the boy will recover. Masarish was arrested the same day and brought to the Centre county jail but was later turned out on bail. Last week he was re-arrested and was given a hearing yesterday before Judge Orvis on a writ of habeas corpus. Masarish admits the shooting and the only purpose of the hearing was to get him out on bail. The court fixed the amount of bail at one thousand dollars, and though the bond had not been filed yesterday afternoon it is quite likely it will be today. Masarish must appear at the September term of court to answer to the charge of manslaughter. STATE CONSTABULARY HERE.—Troop B, of the state constabulary, composed of sergeant Paul B.
