Tho Leechburg Reporter gave up
the ghost lust week. It's editor, a
very "amoosiu cuss," thus bids adieu
to his readers: "I struck this town in
(ho early spring of 1890. Through
tho English Syndicate which controlled
certain breweries and newspapers, I
became connected in official capacity
wilh the Reporter. The object of the
syndicate in obtaining control of this
journal was to work up a healthy sen
timent in favor of breweries. My
mission has been a failure. I retire
from the field after several months
hard work with my labor for my pains.
This town is fine enough to booze, but
the express office has the call as tho
medium of procuring it. My original
package venture did not pan out ns I
had hoped. I sold a great deal of
tamarack, and gave four tin cups with
each keg, free of charge, but Congress,
with a perversity well known as a
characteristic of that body, kicked the
prop from under the Fuller soft snap,
and left trie high and dry, and my
colleague, Silverman, playing checkers
wilh his Jewish nasal appendage be
tween the bars of the county hostile.
I leave the town. I don't believe that
many tears will be shed at my depart
ure. I go unwept and unsung, to a
locality where I can put a bottle of
whiskey under tbe depot platform
without having it stolen.

Ou Saturday night last Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Bovard received the very
tad intelligence of the death by acci
deut of Mr. James McElhaney, whose
wife- is a sister of Mrs. Bovard, aud
paid her a visit about six weeks ago.
The accident occurred near Peters-
ville, Butler county, on Saturday
moruing, the particulars of which are
given in a disputch from Butler, as
I'uIIowb: "James McElhaney, a prom
inent producer known all over tbe oil
country, went out to his wells on Sat
urday morning, reaching there about
10 o'clock. He was assisting to draw
the rods, wheu by some mishap the
tubing line became entangled around
(be sucker rod board above, causing
it to come crashing dowu through the
derrick. Mr. McEIbancy heard tbe
crash and exclaimed, "Look out boys,"
involuntary ducked h:s head forward,
tho board coming end first struck him
squarely on the hack of his head,
crushing in the base of bis skull and
breaking his neck. Death was in
staotancniio, aud his hand, when pick
ed up, held iu death grip the reverse
lever. He was carried to the hotel
and the sad intelligence conveyed to
his family. The body was taken to
his home in Butler last evening. Mr.
McElhaney had operated tn the Mil
leistnwn and Bradford fields and had
accumulated quite a fortune. He
moved his family from Millerstown to
Butler little more than a year ago.
Ho was 40 years of age and leaves a
wife and two grown up children and a
host of fripnds to mourn his untimely
death.". Mr. and Mrs. Bovard left on
Sunday for the scene of the distressing
occurrence, and were present at the
funeral.

spirit across the "swellings of Jordan."
Iruly 't is a gaiu to die in the Lord.

Mohawk's Awful Crime.
Tho recent death of Jnines Wigton, of
Cranberry township, Venango county, at
the age of eighty yeais, has recalled tlio
memorable tragedy w ith which his namo
was connected. Ho was a man of power
ful frame, a typical backwoodsman, and
ho lived in Slipperyrock township, Butler
county, near what is known as tho Stone
liouso, until an event occurred which cast
a gloomy shadow on ull his tut uro life,
An account of llio tragedy that thrilled
and horrified ail this part of tlio country is
thus condensed by tlio Franklin .Veui:
mi ino last saumlav or June, IslJ, an
Indian known as Sam Mohawk, w ho iiad
passed down tho road to Butler from the
upper lumbering country somo days pre
vious, came to tlio Stono House ou tho
stago ou Friday, lato iu tlio evening. In
Butler he had been acting suspiciously
Ou his arrival at tho hotel, without
knock or a warning, ho passed up stairs
into the room where tho landlord, Mr
hill, was slceinng. Sill ordered him out
and picked up u club to hasten his dcpait
lire. Tho Indian left, and it is (.opposed
he passed tlio night among the ris ks near
tlio Stone House, as ho was soen going up
tho road early tho next morning. Ho
went directly to tiie house of James Wig,
tou, who was away from home, huving
gono to the house of his father, a mile dis
tant, to get a horse to use in his farm work.
Mrs. Wigton and her Ave small children
were alone in the liouso. .lust what pass
ed there no one was loft to toll. Before the
return of tho husband, Lemuel Davis,
who with his wife and son, had como to
help Wigton with his hoeing, entered the
house and beheld a scone such as no pen
can dopict. Mrs. Wigton was found lying
in a pool of blood. Evidently sho hail not
yielded hor own llfo and the lives of her
children without a struggle. Ono of her
hands was cut nearly off as though a
knifo had been forcibly drawn through it.
It is supposed that she tried to defend her
self with a butcher knife which was found
near by, stained with blood. Her babo in
tho cradlo was found with its brains beaten
out. Four children in tho sleeping room
up stairs wero found similarly mangled
and dead. A atone which had been used
in tho fire-place of tho wash house, in
place of an iron, was found covered with
blood. Tliis had been tho Instrument of
ileum in ino hands or tlio ncinlMi sava"o.
Mr. Davis aroused tho neighbors, and
soon nioro than a hundred excited peoplo
were at tho sccno. It was soon learned
tiiat tl.e Indian had been at Joseph Ken
nedy's and had thrown a stouo at young
Joseph. Mohawk was hotly pursued and
ran to Philip Keistor's house. Thero wero
no men about tho place, and the women,
who were already informed of the murder,
hastened to leave tlio house. Tlio Indian
entered and ran up stairs. Tho pursuers
rushed after him, and one of tho number,
Mr. Blair, was knocked down by a stone
thrown by tlio savage. Next an attempt
was mado to got a dog up stairs, but to no
purpose
At last, soveral of tho men, carrying a
board over their beads, to keep off the
missiles of Mohawk, mado a rush up tlio
stairway, seized tho Indian, overpowered
him and tiod him with bedcord. Then
they led him to tlio liouso whore tho man
gled bodies of his victims lay. He ac
knowledged his guilt but Bald nobody
could prove it.
It was with difficulty that tho Indian
could be saved from lynching. He was
taken to Butler, tried in duo course, and
sentenced to death. He was hung In tho
spring of 1841.
It seems strange, but true, just the
same, that Hopkins & Co. have had
to re order Dress ilanuels so early in
the season. The quality of the goods
and the low price is what makos ;theni
go. It.
