Three Cases Heard. Had the moving picture man with his versatile camera been on the top of Muncy Mountain in the vicinity of Julian on Tuesday morning of last week, he would have secured excel. lent material for a pictumesque drama, staged in all the naturalness of wild mountain scenery and enacted with thrilling gun play. Imagine held up on a wild mountain road the point of a shot gun, with finger of an enraged woman ready to pull the trigger, and ordered to “stand and deliver” your—blackberries on pain of having a portion of your anatomy punctured by the of the gun. This is the situation that led the arrest of Mrs. Edith Ingram last week, followed by three lively legal cases in the different offices of Justices of the Peace W, H. Musser and Hen- ry Brown at Bellefonte, On Satur- day afternoon Squire Musser heard the first case, brought by Mrs, Marcel- la Beals, wife of Emory E. Beals, Julian, against Mrs, Edith Ingram, holding up herself and three young ladies in the public with a shot gun, and firing at them. Mrs. Ingram, the defendant, the wife of Harris Ingram, and together with four small children the live about three miles southwest of Julian, on a mountain farm, known the Henderson place. Most of land is without fences, and a of it abounds with brush and which affords an attractive place for berry hunters. Early last Thursday morning a party of a people from Julian star up the mountain to gather blackberries in the vicinity of where the Ingrams The berry pickers broke up squads, and proc ceeded to fill buckets as they went along up road, finishing at the top where the berries grew more abundant. Noth- ing eventful occurred until their re- turn down the mountain road, four of the party, Mrs. Beals, Boyer, Estella Wellors and at to of for is the portion reside into their Esther Mrs. Ingram with a shot cording to the testimony ladies above mentioned, gun. Ac- of the four they were or- their berries In a bucket which she had placed in the middie of the road. The Soman with the gun stood ready to back up her demand, and the four | morning and addresses ladies were not slow beating a hasty mountain. The Mrs, Ingram swe and broke open it vded been relieved were t 0 get oO quickly they without were also in complying and retreat down the quartette told how re at them them was i irther stat returned to Mrs. Ingram in sta entirely different had been made her alleged She sald that there were many in icinity of her premises 11d be picked by anybody wi out encroaching upon her pro That the berries on her premises were reserved for her family to be sold as a partial means of livel Several trespass notices had been posted, in spite of which her berries, plums and other fruit was being frequently car- ried away On the day in question, the 15th August, she stated the party from Julian had passed her house and gone up to her fleld where they filled their buckets with berries that were her private property, She saw Mrs. Beals tear down and destroy a cardboard trespass notice that had been placed there by her father, Mr. Allen, who resides at Waddle. On returning the party stopped in the road opposite her house und began throwing stones and calling her v names She further alleged that Mrs Beals had a revolver and threatened to shoot her and a dog that was In the yard. Mrs, Ingram then went in to the house and got a shot gun that was kept standing behind the door, and going outside, pointed it the alr and fired, The wide of the two would have Solomon, but the Mrs. Beals and the three young la- dies who were with her was generally accredited with being the real facts In the case. Each of the prosecution's witnesses corroborated In a frank straightforward manner the testimony of Mrs. Beals, and at the conclusion of the hearing Squire Musser held Mrs, Ingram in the sum of $300 ball for her appearance at court, This resulted In a cross suit by the Ingrams against Mrs and the Misses Boyer, Wellors Chandler, for trespass, and Swisher, one of the members party, for carrying concealed ons. The latter had taken an who tims berries that co story from thos the ithood of in in the the case at the wisdom of story as told by variance sides In tried n brought Beals and John of the a revolver with him on the morning of the 15th, | as a protection against a panther that was thought to be In that locally. Tuesday morning Squire Musser's court again convened to hear testi. mony, which was about the same as had been submitted In the previous case, and he held the four defendants under $300 ball for court. The case against John Swisher was quashed be- fore a witness was called for the rea- son that the prosecutrix falled to iden- tify the charge brought against the defendent. Costs of $4.50 In this case were placed upon Mra. Ingram.
