He stopped at the wacenng trough,
just this side of Millville, to water
the horses, and when he attempted
to eet into the buggy the animals
started up the road on a run. At
the comer of Main and State

but she was only slightly injured.
The top was torn off the buggy,

Boyd Shaffer has returned home
from San Francisco, having been
rejected for defective eye sight. He
left here about two months ago aud
went to Camp Meade, where he en
listed in the Regular Army. Short
ly afterward he was taken sick, and
his ill health prevented him from
accompanying the 19th regiment
when they left lor the Philippines.
Later he was transferred to the cav
airy, and was ordered to San Fran
cisco, to stand final examination,
and be sent, if up to the full require
ments, to Manilla. He passed in
every way, excepting his left eye,
which was injured by being struck
bv a piece of flying nail while he
was a member of the Volunteer Eu

end Boyd s military career.

An illustrated article, covering an
entire page, on the twenty second
anniversary of the extermination of
the Mollie Maguires in this section,
appeared in the Sunday Philadel
phia Inquirer. About the only true
part of the story was the date of the
execution of Patrick Hester, Peter
McIIugh and Patrick Tully, which
took place at Bloomsburg, August
9, 1877. The crime for which they
were convicted was the murder of
Alexander P. Rae, of Centralia.
The facts connected with the case
are still fresh, no doubt in the minds
of many of our readers.
The sounding of tne fire alarm
at eleven o'clock Sunday morning,
called out the Winona company.
The boys hurried to the corner of
West and Sixth streets where it was
supposed the alarm was sent in
from, only to find that it was a
fake, as usual. If it is the intention
to test the system every now and
then, it should be so stated, in order
that the fire companies and the
people may be kept posted. The
alarm Sunday morning, frightened
a great many, who left churches
where services were going on, and
the people are becoming tired of this
everlasting practice of tapping the
bell just for fun, especially on a hot
day like Sunday.
