The drinking bar was closed at
twelve o'clock, and the witness and
his companions were preparing to

ed an argument over the probability
of getting a glass of beer the next
day, Sunday. The dispute develop
ed luto a fight, and Battalgia, the
witness said pulled a revolver from
his hip pocket and shot him in the
left leg near the hip. He was pick

which Battalgia put them out and
fired another shot. The next day
he was taken to the Hazleton

The testimony of the defense was
to the effect that Demicke and his
companions insisted on being given

Failing to secure the drink, they
informed Battalgia that it was his
money that they were ofter. That

was injured.

The numerous friends of genial
Koscoe C. Thurston, city editor of
the Bloomsburg Daily, will be
pleased to hear of his capture in
the matrimonial fish pond. The
youug lady who has bestowed her

Sunday afternoon, the ceremony
being performed by the pastor,
Kev. uucke. iiiey arrived in
Bloomsburg the same evening, and

By reason of his having been
granted a license more than two
months ago, Roscoe has, since that
time kept bis friends diverted by a
continuous guessing match as to
whether he was.or was not married.
Now that the happy event has act

may ever balance in their favor.
