Harder Values Alta-Idaho Very High.
Charles M. Harder of Catawissi,
who has (or a number of years made
a special study of mineralogy, has been
traveling through seveial of the west
ern states with the view of becoming
better acquainted with the mines i.i
which our eastern people are interest
ed He is now at Pardee, Idaho, look
ing over the property and the mines
of the Alta-Idaho Gold and Copper
Mining Company, which is owned by
v Pennsylvania people. In a telegram
just received he states that he "found
Alta ldaho a system of gigantic min
eral veins, that the company has ex
ceptionul advantages, and that the
stock of this company is selling too
low in comparison with intrinsic value
of the property owned by the com
pany."
Fondness for Stage. Led to Poverty,
Rather comely of face, but diminu
tive in form, a girl, to all appearances
not over 18 years of age and giving
her name as Mame Winster, appeared
in town Monday evening. She had
been lured trora her home in Hazle
ton, so she said, last fall by the glitter
of the footlights, and she wanted to
obtain work to get money to go home.
Just how- she reached Eloomsburg
she did not state, but in all probabil
ity she worked, her appearance seem
ed to indicate as much, at least.
Her story was the same old theme,
in a minor key. A talent for singing
rag time, popular in amateur theatric
als, an ambition to shine before the
footlights, a good, comfortable home
forsaken, designing theatrical mana
gers, disappointment, distress and
despair.
It appears that since she left home
her lot has been a hard one. She
has tried company after company but
failure followed failure, until she de
cided to find employment in some
other line, and go back to her old
home. She left Bloomsburg Tues
day morning.

A High Bred Horse.
Mr. T. E. Hyde has established a
horse breeding farm at EJgemon t,
Grovania station. Among his recent
purchases is Sildare, No. 27612, prob
ably a horse of the best-strain ever
brought to this section.
In his breeding he has three crosses
of Mambrino King and two of Chimes,
and the Chimes, Mambrino King Nick
is now recognized as the greatest cross
in the history of breeding. Chimes has
to his credit three fastest trotters ever
sired by one horse. Mambrino King
has three faster trotters than have ever
been sired by any other stallion than
Chimes. Each have eight in the 2.10
list and no stallion has ever produced
eight performers whose average time
equals the average of the performers
of either Chimes or Mambrino King.
Moreover Mambrino King was said
to be "the handsomest horse in the
world," and the greatest show horse
of his time. Sildare is in color and
markings like his grandsire, Mambrino
King, and in head and neck is nearly
like him. Sildare is a very dark chest
nut, coming 4 years old in "June, and
will make a horse of about 16 hands
and weighing about 1150 to 1200.
He is handsome, stylish and splendid
ly gaited. With our prosperous busi
ness conditions over the entire country
more and more men are enabled to
indulge their fancy for a fine horse,
and an extra fine one commands al
most a king's ransom. Thosias W.
Lawson, who paid Mr. C. J. Hamlin
450.000 for Dare Devil (the sire of
Sildare), said in a recent article that
he would pay $3000 apiece for ad the
perfect road horses he could get. He
also says he expects Dare Devil to be
the greatest sire of his time in pro
ducing the highest type of perfect road
horses.

BASE BALL.
In the second game with Normal
ou Thursday afternoon William
sport again took the school boys
into camp. The visitors scored in
only one inning but it proved
enough to win the game. McCabe
was ou the slab for Normal and
barring the third inning in which
he was touched up for five hits he
pitched good ball. Hasset was the
twirler for Williamsport and his
work was all 0 the good. He had
the nicest delivery of any pitcher
seen here in many a day. rie had
the locals hitting at all sorts of
things aud the accumulation of six
safe oues was the best they could
do. The work of Hummel stood
out as the brightest thing in the
game. The score follows:
Normal o-i-i-i-o-o-2-o-o 5
Williamsport 0-0-8-0-0-0 0-0-08
Normal 3, Freeland Tigers i.
The game on Saturday with tne
Freeland Tigers was the best of the
season and was won by Normal
through Shaffer's masterly pitching.
He had good speed and a repertoer
of benders that puzzled the coal
barons. Normal's play showed a
marked improvement over previous
games. The score by innings:
Freeland o-o-i-o-o-oo-o-o 1

Yesterday's Gamb.
It wasn't Umpire Sherwood's
fault that Normal didn't win yes
terday's game with the Cuban Gi
ants. He gave a weird exhibition
but the colored fellows took the
roasting good naturedly and kept
the crowd laughing by their funny
remarks. The locals took the lead
in the first inning and held it till
the ninth when the Cubans by a
batting streak won out.
Marcy tried to cover the left
garden territory but made a lamen
table failure. Manager Sutliff
should look over the material on
the second team and mend this hole
in the outfield.
The crowd yesterday was the
largest of the season. The same
teams play again today. j

HELD FOR COURT.

treated the crowd winch included
hinself, his brother William Ilona-
bach and Levan. He appeared to
have plenty of money. He display
ed a twenty dollar bill and some
other money where everybody
could see it. He took the money
from his pay envelope and after set-
teling for the drinks put it back 111
his pocket. Levan, he said left a
few minutes before McAndrews
upon the statement that he had
worked all night and was going
home to sleep. On cross-examination
he said he would not be posi
tive about the exact time the men
had left his hotel, but that it was to
the best of his konwledge.
The testimony of V llliam Hona-
bach was a corroboration of that of
his brother. McAndrews, he said
took two or three drinks and a
cigar. He was apparently under
the influence of liquor.
Daniel Roach, a saloon keeper,
testified that he had sold McAn
drews three drinks. He wanted
more but he refused to give it to
him. He saw Levan and McAn
drews come out of the Honabach
Hotel. Levan preceded McAndrews
by a few minutes but the two went
in different directions.
Dr. G'vinner was recalled to the
witness stand and asked by Fred
Ikeler, counsel lor Levan, whether
or not he had found anything be
side the club with which the blows
might have been struck, to which
he replied that he had not.
Monroe Rape was the next wit
ness called. He found McAndrews
along the road between ten and
eleven o'clock on the morning of
March 30th. The exact point was
about fifty yards from the summit
of the hill between Montana and
Centralia. In the road near the
body he found a cap, a five cent
piece and a club. McAndrews was
lying face downward with his feet
toward Centralia. There was some
blood in the middle of the road
lie ana Kostenbauder who was
with him, went to Centralia and
notified 'Squire Black.
John Kuittle, of Montana, testi
fied that on the morning McAn
drews was found he and Frank
Fetzer and Johu Startzel were shoot
ing mark along the railroad. He
saw Levan come from the direction
where McAndrews was found. This
to the best of his knowledge was
about eleven o'clock. Mrs. Minear
met them after they started toward
Centralia and told them that a man
had been found along the road. On
cross examination he did not know
from what direction Levan had
come. When they met Levan had
asked to see his gun and that was
all he could remember.
Frank Fetzer testified that he
had only seen Levan when the lat
ter called to him from the railroad.
John Startzel testified that he
first saw Levan coming up the
railroad track from the direction of
Centralia.
Thomas Quigley of Centralia took
the witness stand next. He stated
that on Thursday after the ' finding
01 McAndrews he went to the scene
and found a piece of wagon brake
which he identified. The one end
of it was covered with blood and
hair. When cross examined he
said that Turrance Burke had
picked up the iron and had given
it to him. It was a foot long.

Duy read the testimony of Levan
given at the coroner's inquest in
which he said that on the morning
McAndrews was found he had been
in Honabach's place. He admitted
having taken several drinks with
McAndrews and that he left before
McAndrews and went to Charles
Kushops blacksmith shop. He had
never seen McAndrews before that
day. He did not see any money
other than that which was thrown
on the bar in payment for drinks.
Monroe Rape was the first to tell
him of the finding of McAndrews,
which was about fifteen minutes
after he had left the hotel. From
the blacksmith shop he went - to
Ringtown where he had some busi
ness. The last witness was J. C. Mc
Kelvy,.a detective, in the employ
of the Linden Detective Agency of
Philadelphia. He testified that he
was familiar with the spot where
McAndrews was found. By the
road it was not quite a half mile
from the hotel. He had walked it
in eight minutes. By the railroad
it was over a half mile and through
the brush. He said a person could
easily reach it by way of the black
smith shop and the railroad. He
walked it in fourteen minutes. Mr
Ikeler cross examined the witness.
He said that he had been employed
by District Attorney Duy and had
been working on the case for five
weeks. He met Levan the second
day after he arrived at Aristes in
Honabach's saloon. To the ques
11011, tias lyevan ever made any
statement concerning the murder?'
he answered, "he has never made
any statement to me." "Has he
ever made any statement to you
concerning his whernebouts that
morning?" "No sir."
this closed the testimony and
rred Ikeler, counsel for Levan
moved for discharge on the ground
that the commonwealth had failed
to make out a case against the
prisoner.
Grant Herring for the common
wealth said that they had connected
Levan with the crime in a manner
sufficient to warrant the Justice in
holding him. The Justice con
curred and the prisoner was re
committed to the custody of the
Sheriff to await trial at the Septem
ber terra of court.

A- M. L Church Rally-
The A. M. E. Church rally last
Sunday was a" success. The Pastor,
trustees and members with faithful
ness and push raised $218.50. Of
this amount $50.00 was given ia
memory of Rev. W. G. Ferguson
and Rev. J. P. Tustin, by Mrs. E. B.
Tustin, and $4.00 by Edward B.
Tustin Jr., $4.00 by Joseph P. Tustin.
The balance of the money was raised
by the Pastor and trustees, Glasco
Cameron, Anthony Alexander rnd
the faithful members from their many
friends. Mr. E. M Kester had
placed his claim of $31.33 in the
hands of his attorney. The trustees
paid the same off, and the church
being $70.00 in the pastor's debt he
asked for $45.00 to help him pay his
debts, in order that he could keep
his word, and we felt it our duty as he
has worked so hard for us, and as the
pastor and trustees have an agree
ment with Mr. E. B Tustin the bal
ance of the money has been placed
in the First National Bank until he
returns home, and then Creasy &
Wells and others that the church owe
will be paid. The entire church
joins in with the pastor and officers in
thanking all for their great and gen
erous help.
