THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. 'SSTABUSHED BY C. B. GOUI.D, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 4-2 A Great Combination. Prom July first until November third the hens belonging to Squire Sullivan, of Huntley, have been on a strike. It was impossible 10 arbitrate or settle the difficulty until Mr U. H. Felt, of the Emporium Milling Company, suggest ed that a picture of William H. Taft be placed where the fowls could see it and to open a bag ot Felt's Matchless Egg Food and scatter it near the picture. The results were amazing. The hens looked at the picture first then went at the Egg Food and inside of an hour were crowding the nests in their has'e to lay. Since that time the hens have disregarded the sixteen hour law and insist on laying night and day. The roosters salute the picture at the first break of day and crow all the time. Judge Taft's picture restored confi dence and the egg food did the rest. The egg food can be procured at the Emporium Mill and Mr. Tatt can be found doing business at the White House after March 4th. j. r. s. A Monster Deer. A very large deer was killed on Saturday last, near Sinnamahoning, by a hunting party composed of Messrs. Scott Mountz and and E. B. Sutliff, of Cooks Run; T. S. Patton and Mr. Begal, of Bloomsburg; W. B. Sutliff, of Fair mont Springs; Herman Smith, of Hughesville; James Shultz and son, Jamison City, Pa. The buck was a monster, weighing two hundred pounds. We would hardly have thought it worth mentioning but for the kindness of Mr. Mouutz and party, who kindly appreciated the hospitality of the Mountain House, at Sinnama honing, by presenting them a nice roist of the buck. To say that the meat was fine and richly enjoyed would be putting it mildly. With many thanks to Mr. Mountz and party, we can only say come again. GEO. FULTZ, Sinnamahoning, Pa., Nov. 30, 1908.

I wish to say to the readers of the Press that the statement in last week's issue that the X-Rays failed to locate the bullet in Charles Jones' hand, is incorrect and was wholly uncalled for. The X-Ray picture taken by me, indi cates plainly the bullet, a 22 calibre, to be lodged just under and to the in ner side of the joint that joins the in dex finger to the hand and shows it between the ends of the two bones. This can be examined at my office at any time by any one interested. R. P. HEILMAN, M. D. Prompt Payment. The Fraternal Order of Eagles, after returning to their headquarters Sun day from the funeral of John Kibe, met and in a very few minutes raised a handsome purse of money from among the members present for the benefit of the stricken family. This amount was immediately presented to Mrs. Kibe. It M said that tht ! order ia raising an other sum from among its own mem bers which will be presented in a few days. This is another evidence oi the great amount of good that is being done by this order. Fraternity of a visible, practical nature is the lever that is liftfng the Fraternal Order of Eagles to a height and prominence of which they can well be proud. w.p.

Last Thursday evening, about 8:30 Joe Pagano, an Italian, who has resid ed in Emporium for two or three years, went into the American Hotel, con ducted by Chas. Farley and being bois torous and disorderly the landlord ejected him from the house at three different times. The infuriated Italian stormed around the front of the hotel, when he pulled out a revolver and fired in the sidewalk. Mr. John Kibe, who stood in the hotel, went to the door to see what the Italian was doing and spoke to him, requestiug that he go home. Almost instantly be raised the gun and fired at Kibe the ball en tering his right side near the heart. Kibe at once turned back and sitting down, said "I'm shot." Great excite ment prevailed. The injured man was removed to the parlor and Drs. Smith, Bush and Falk summoned. Promptly upon the arrival of the Drs it was soon evident that the unfortunate man had only a few minutes to live. The leaden messinger of death had severed an artery and the wounded man passed to the great beyond sur rounded by his grief-stricken wife and children, at 9:07. While the sad scene was taking place in the "death room," Chief of Police Frank Mundy called for volunteers to aid him in finding and arresting the murderer, who after committing the dastardly deed walked up to Lect & Co's store and passed across the street, down towards the Junction. Mr. Mundy hurried hown to Wm. Clark's and requested his assistance, which was readily granted. The officer pass ed the Italian while enroute for Clark's and after telling Mr. Clark to "giv% him the club as soon as he jumped into I him," retraced their steps and caught j up with the murderer ia front of E. D. Mumford's residence, when Mandy threw both arms around him, Mr. Clark at the same instant welted him on the head. After properly securing him he was taken to St. Charles Hotel and searched. Upon his person was found a large stiletto, one razor and : five or six cartridges. The revolver, which he dropped when captured, con tained two charges—one being fired in the sidewalk, one into John Kibe and the other at the hotel as he passed down the street. On Friday morning he was taken be fore Esq. Larrabee, who committed him to jail to await the action of the grand jury on the second Monday of January, 1909. THK INQUEST. Acting Coroner, Esquire M. M. Lar rabee summoned the following jurors immediately after the death of Mr. Kibe: John Cummings, foreman; J. 11. Stephens, Robt. Hacket, Hon. P. X. Blumle, Edward McCarthy and Wm. A. Auchu. After the jurors were sworn they adjourned to meet Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the office of Justice Larrabee. District Attorney Jas. P. McNarney was present at the hearing and represented the Comnion wealth. Nine witnesses were sworn. A verdict was was rendered that "John Kibe came to his death at the hands of Joe Pagano." THE AUTOPSY. Friday afternoon, Doctors Smith and | Bush" performed an autopsy, in the j presence of the Coroner and Jurors, i They reported that they found the j bullet had entered the body of John I Kibe near the heart, passing through | the edge of the heart; then downward, passing througn the body, then lodged 1 under the skin, just above the right | shoulder blade. At the close of the | autopsy Undertaker Geo. J. I.a Bar's 1 assistant, Mr. Chaa. W. ltishell, took ! charge of the remains and prepared it : tor burial. THE FUNERAL. The funeral was held on Sunday after ! tiooii 2'rom the late residence of the do \ ceased, the Exchange Hotel, itev. Mr. Anderson, pastor of the Methodist | Episcopal Church officiating. It was : one of the largest funerals ever held in Emporium. The deceased being a j member of the Eagles and the Fire De partment (Citizens Hose) brought out the entire membership of those bodies, about 1500 in number. The deceased was viewed by a large number of • rlends, many of whom were closely connected socially and intimately. The floral offerings were very heauti | ful. The following relatives and friends from out of town were in attendance at j the funeral: John Kibe, Sr., (father), 1 of Phillipsburg; Joseph Bingeman, Adam Bingeman, wife and two child ren, Miss Anna Bingeman—brothers and sister of Mrs. Kibe. What is a Mission The Rev. R. S. Radcliffe, is assisting Rev. J. M. Robertson in holding a very successful mission at the Episcopal church. In this age of rash talk and rasher actions the church calls to sobriety, morality and godly training and our people irrespective of creed are learn ing that a mission is a safe and sane ef fort to reach the common Benseofour spiritual nature. The full vested choir, led by the organ and a cornet, swell the congre gational singing with old time vigor, such as we did not expect in an Episco pal ohnrch. Last evening Miss Grace Lloyd sang "Rock of Ages" as only Miss Lloyd can sing it. This evening special singing will be rendered by Messrs. Sterner and Ellis. The services will last until Sunday night with a special service for chil den Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock On Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock.

HAKRISUURO, PA., NOV. 20, 1908. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE has ap peared or has beeu reported among cattle in the counties of Montour, Northumberland, Union, Snyder, Jun | iata, Lancaster, Delaware and Mont gomery. In each case the outbreak has been traced to cattle shipped from | Buffalo, New York, during the last week of October or thejfirst week of j November. Since then, thestockyards at Buffalo have been thoroughly clean -1 ed and disinfected, and it is stated by the federal authorities that there is no danger from that source. Many cattle came to Pennsylvania during the two weeks mentioned. All of these ship | ments are being looked up as far as | this is possible but some have been dis | persed and are hard to trace. Hence j there is the possibility that foot and | mouth disease may occur any where in | the State, even in a place least to be j suspected. It is of the greatest importance that j outbreaks shall be promptly reported ! so that all necessary precautions may 1 be taken. Reports should be sent by telegragh—charges col lect—to the State Veterinarian at Harrisburg. All citi j zens should consider it their duty to ■ make such reports, in the interests of I the public welfare. Just at this time, | any unusual disease affecting the t mouths or feet of cattle should be re garded with suspicion. If such dis ease spreads from animal to animal there can be littie doubt as to its ; nature. In repressing this disease the United ! States Department of Agriculture is j co-operating and is assisting the State 1 Livestock Sanitary Board. As a result of such co-operation it is possible to pay to owners full value for all cattle that may have to bo destroyed on ac count of this disease provided the own ers co operate with the public authorit ies and do their part to prevent the , further spread of infection. Every veterinary practitioner and every cattle owner should bo exceed ingly alert to detect the first evidence iof this disease and to report it. Where cattle are known to bo affected, visitors should bo kept away for the disease is one that may easily be conveyed by persons who have been in contact with or near affected animals. Persons who are known to have been on infected premises should be debarred from places where cattle are kept until after their clothing huve been disinfected. The disease is one that causes enor mous losses and must be dealt with in a firm and effective way. LKONAHU PEARSON, State Veterinarian.
