This is the time of year when forest
fires are of most frequent occurrence,
and constables are charged with the duty
of seeing that all such are nipped in the
bud, and to that end have authority to
summon assistance from the residents of
their townships. With proper vigilence
on the part of these officers and the co
operation of all good citizens forest fires
can be reduced to a minimum. Keep an
eye out for fires as well as for those who
either carelessly or maliciously start
them.

The trouting seasen opened on Fri

this declaration can readily be proven by

of it and tooK advantage of the opening
day to wear off the wire edge. Little

years ago and is supposed to have had
rest during that time, was a favorite re
sort bv not less than fifty majority. We
attempted to edit a few of the beauties
into our basket, but a "beggars" dozen
was the extent of a ten hours' effort. Joe
Scowdcn was along and mado several at
tempts to buy a location but failed and
was obliged to wait his tarn to drop in
his book, like waiting for a shave at the
barbershop. Sheriff Walker was also
one of the party, but having for eight or
ten years traveled the stream as engineer
of the logging train he was "onto his jeb"
all right and having taken less bait and
more money be succeeded in carrying

Thieves Steal 175 rounds ot Meat.
Farmer Adam Sibble. living on the
German Hill rod, about five mllos from
Tionesta, was the victim of a thievish
raid made on his smokehouse, Tuesday
night of last week. He had only a short

smoking meat, on which he had put a
good lock. He estimates that he at least
lost 175 pounds of pork, consisting of
bams and shoulders, all of which was stol

away in a two-horse rig that had been
stopping and stood in the road a short

Preparing to Hang Rockwell and Danya.
Attorney E. J. Wimmer, of St.
Marys, has taken np the cases of Rock
well and Banya, the Elk county men
sentencod to be hanged on April 2fi, and
will make a determined effort to have
the execution delayed, if not definitely, for
a time at least. According to the Ridg
way Star new evidence has been obtained
that may be favorably considered by the
Board of Pardons in the case of Rockwell.
Wimmer will appeal the case of Banya to
the Supreme Court. Banya has given up
all hope of escaping the gallows and is
fully preparing for his fate. He eats and
sloops well, and spends considerable time
In devotion. A crucifix has been placed
in his cell, and the consolation ofrelieiou
seems to afford him much solace. Rock
well, on the contrary, Bpurns all offers
of religious consolation, and does not ap
pear to weaken in the least or does not
show any evidence of it by his talk and
conversation. At the same timo, his ap
pearance belies his words. He is pale and
thin, and by those who saw bitn at the
timo of his last trial would scarssly know
hiiu now. His stubborn pride, however,
prevents him iroin breaking down.
In this connection the Ridgway Demo
crat says: Notwithstanding the assertions
of Attorney Wimmer that the double
hanging scheduled to be "pulled off" in
Ridgway on the 2Cth inst. will not take
place, the county commissioners and the
sheriff are preparing for the event and
making plans to induct both Rockwell
and Banya into the spirit land. The
Ridgway Manufacturing Co. have Just
completed two weights for the "drop"
and Perry C. Ross has been given the
contract to build the scaffold. The
weights tip the scales at S40 pounds each
and are guaranteed to do their part in as
sisting the murderers to kingdom come.
The drop system has been proven time
and again to be the best and the old fash
ioned drop has been relegated to the rear.
In these fin de siecle days the sheriff or
executioner does not spring a trap and
the "dull and sickening thud" no longer
plays a part in the write up of affairs of
this character. The murderer now days
is lifted from his feet by a weight attached
to a pulley, aud when the signal is given
the rope which holds the weight is cut.
The weight falls about seven feet before
the rope to which it is attached is taut,
and then the unfortunate is jorked heav
enward with a momentum that usually
breaks his nock. This is considered the
most humane way of disposing of people
whom the law says must die, and is the
plan that has been adopted by the Elk
county officials.

who think business can be done slyly and

who oppose every movement that does
not originate with themselves. Seventh,
those who oppose any public enterprise
that does not appear to benefit them.
Eight, those who seek to injure the credit
