An Erio dispatch under date of Mon
day, this week, gives a rather sensational
account of an assault by A. B. Heard,
who was defendant In a land suit in T o
nosta last week, upon Attorney Rosen-
zweig, one of the plaintiffs In tin case.
Tho message relates that Heard rushed
into the attorney's ofticn with a large
knife in his hand and (shouting his intent
to kill. Roscnzweig lost no time In get
ting out iho offico door, whilj Attorney
I'reeman, seising Heard, prevented him
lollowing. The trouble grows out of the
lawsuit which was tried in our courts last
week, the plaintiffs in which wero Con
gressman Davenport and Roscnzweig,
and which was decided agrinstMr. Heard
who is now under charge of assnalt with
intout to kill.
-Speaking ol tho manner in which the
now noted missing "third man" should
bo captured the Titusville Courier, quot
ing a gentleman claiming to be acquaint
ed Willi him, says: "Mr. Williams
knows Woodward intimately and like
tho Cbttctcr thinks that ho can never bo
captured by possos, or as he expresses it,
'a gang herabling their approach with a
band of music' Tho onlv way in which
tho missing man can bo apprehended,
Mr. Williams thinks, is by somo one go
ing to tho lumber camps of McKean,
Potter and other counties in tho disguise
ol a tramp. Woodurd has an intimate
knowledgo of all the lum'ier country and,
Mr. Wiiliams thinks, will make his way
to ono of tho many lumber camps in the
big woods, where he will remain in hid
ing." That would bo a capital plan, and
it's strange somo one had not tumbled
onto it long ago. We 'don't know what
more could be dono unless it were to
send a lot of photo's of tho "tramp" with
largo placards ahead to the lumber camps
announcing his coming, and warning
people to oe on the lookout for him. This
would insuro the "tramp's" safety on
his arrival, and the "missing third" be
ing, presumably, unable to sse or read,
would be taken totally unawares and
easily captured. Good scheme; push it
along.
The Late ('oorge M. Kepler.
The death ol George M. Kepler, a for
mer well known citizen ofTioncsta.occur-
ed at the home of his son, J.Clark Kepler,
on Terrace street, Oakland, a suburb of
Pittsburg, Thursday last at midnight.
The deceased was iu the 70th year of his
ago at tho time of his death, having for
two years past been in rather feeble
health on account of a paralytic stroke.
Mr. Kepler eaino to the oil regions from
Center county, his biithplace, while the
Pithole excitement was ot its zenith. He
operated rather extensively at Petroleum
Centre, Triumph Hill, and later in Clar
ion and Butler counties. During bis res
idence in Tionesta ho was engaged in
lumbering wiln tlio Salmon Creek Luin
bor Co., of which he was the superintend
ent a number of years. Ho was a genial
gentleman, noted for his kindness of
heart and great generosity. Well posted
on all business topics of tho day, he waa
an Interesting conversationalist.
Besides his son, J. C, he is survived
by a brothor, Capt. J. M. Kepler, of Pino
Grovo Mills, Centre county, and a sistor,
Mrs. Mary Snadman, of Conneaut, Ohio.
Ho was twico married, tiie death of
both wives preceding bis by 20 and 10
years respectively.
The remains wero brought to Tionesta
Monday morning of this week, and in
terred by the side of those of his first
wife in Riverside cemetery. The funeral
services at the graye were conducted by
Rev. C. C. Kumberger. Tin remains
wero accompanied here by Mr. and Mrs.
C. Kepler of Oakland and Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Scilbner of Oil City.
A Ridiculous Rumor.
A rather startling but ridiculous ru
mor was given circulation on the streets
of Clarion last Monday, says tho Demo
crat of that place. It was to the effect
that Charles Leeper, who was supposed
to have met his deuth in a frightful rail
road wreck near New Castle, Colo., in
September, 1897, had, in reality, not been
killed at all, that ho was not only still in
the land of the living, but well and
hearty, although confined in an asylum
in the iar west, where be had been taken
shortly altor tho accidout iu which ho had
lost his reason. The rumor also carried
with it the infoi ination that Robert Shot Is
of Lecper, this counly.who was with Mr.
Leeeer at tho time of keeper's supposed
death, and by whom tho remains wero
identified and accompanied back to Clar
ion, had recently been in the western
city above alluded to and had met and
conversed with Mr. Lecper. It required
but little inquiry to prove the falsity and
utter lack of foundation for the circula
tion of the story and (he only matter of
wonder is as to Low it could hive origi
nated. Tho identification of Mr. Leeper'a
remains by Mr. Shotts just after (he ter
rible accident iu which tho former named
met his untimely death, was mo-t con
vincing, the insurance on the life of the
deceased as well as tho damages by tho
railroad company for having canted his
death having long sinco been paid. Fur
thermore, Mr. Shotts, who is credited
ly tho uncanny rumor w ith havii g lato
ly til' t Mr. Keeper ii. tho wist, has not
been away from homo for months mid
lias not on idea how such a foolish rumor
could havo start d. It would perhaps bo
interesting to know just how such a story
did coine to be put in circulation.

j Deputy Sheriff Heese.of Crawford coun
i ly, returned to Meadville Friday f.om an
ollicinl visit to the Western Penitentiary.
While at the penitentiary he s t-wed
Warden Wright a photograph of Frank
Major, the prisoner who is held at Mead
ville for complicity in the murder of
Chief or Police McGrath. The photo
graph was recognized at once as that of
Joseph Kennedy, who completed a sen
tence there last September.
Additional information was received
t riJay evening b Chiei Hauaway, of
Meadville. from Roger O'Mara, Superin
tendent of Detectives in Pittsburg, In re
sponse to a letter and photograph. Su
perintendent O'Mara replies that the pic
ture is a good photograph of Joseph Ken
edy, who was discharged from the West
ern Penitentiary September 2, 1SK), and
on that day purchased a railroad licket
for Meadvi'io. Kennedy was sent to the
pen for robbing a United Statet postoffice
May 2.", 1891. His prison number was
9,732.
Word w.,s received last Sdurday by
the mayor of Titusville from the maor
of Moundsviile, W. Va., that a man elo.se
ly tallying with the description given of
Woodard was being held aa a sucpect
and asking that some one be sent on to
see about it. C. W. Benedict, the Titus
ville attorney wh . has tHken an active
part in tho search, and who has so closely
identified Woodard as being tho third
man implicated in the mun.'er, went on
to Moundsviile, but sen s back wo d
that he "found the suspect to be a 'little
ral' with net a single featuro resembling
Woodarl."
And so it is; the man is still at large,
and likely to be for some time to come,
though with the ported description in
the hands of the proper authorities, the
culprit should bo run to bay sooner or
later.
The (i. A. R. Badge.
It was the act of June 23, 1895, that
properly provided for the unlawful wear
ing of the badge or button, the insignia
of tho . A. R. That act provides that
"any person whosha 1 wear said badge,
button or shield, or who use the same to
obtain aid or assistance, unless ho shall
be entitled to use and wear the same un
der the constitution and rules anil regu
lath ns of the organization, shall beguilty
of an offense, and upon conviction before
a Justice of the Peace or Alderman shall
be fined not exceeding $20 aud costs, and
in default ol'paym. nt there .f, to be com
mitted to the county jail for a period not
exceeding ten days.''
Truly this is a gloomy prospect ; uotli
ing inviting about this at all ; yet such is
111.'' case, unless the party wearing these
honored emblems, are qualified to wear
them "according to the rules and regu
lations of the Grand Army." Observe,
even one of the "has beens" has no right
to wear tho badge, one who has been
dropped or slid out Is debarred. It is
only the truo blue, actual members of the
post who are entitled to wear this honor
able insignia to wear it otherwise would
bo fradulo t sailing under false colors;
no good comrade would sail under false
colors any quicker than ho won I ! wear
falso whiskers.
The G. A. R. is the worthy successor
ol the Ancient Order of the Cincinnati,
revived by the Revolutionary patriots,
Indorsed by 'he G. A. R.
Therefore we may conclude, none h it
t oso within the fold of the order are en
titled to wear the insignia. If any have
wandered Irom that fold let him return
to tho order, be restored and find peace
and tranquility beneath the starry flag,
to tho tuno of "Return, oh wandrer, re
turn," et cetera.

Iilovtliiir Out Oil, Instead of Pumping.
A plan in bringing oil to the surface by
blowing is coming into general use iu
ho Corsicana, (Txas) district, and may
do away with the sucker-rod and work
ing barrel. W. li. Staley, the largest
operator in that field, thus describes his
new and cheaper device for getting out
tho fluid:
It consists of a central power plant,
which can lie used to operate, as many
wells as desired. A argo steel tank cap
able of withstanding a high pressi re, and
somewhat rosemblmg an riliuary gas
lank, is erected at a cen. ral point. With
the assistance of boiler and engine, a hiuh
pressure pump having been connected to
tho tank, air is forced into thn tank, a
gauge registering the pressure, and when
it has reacliod the desired point the work
of "blowing off" the wells is th work of
a few minutes. The well must first lie
tubed in the ordinary way, alter which a
three quarters pij e is insrted and ex
tends the full depth of the well, the lower
end resting on the bottom and a few inch
es above aro perforations. The lead pipe
extends from tho well to I lie tank, when
it is connected. Ry opening a stop-cock
tho compressed air rushes Irom the tank
thror.gh tho h ad line to the bottom of the
well, and forces the oil to the top through
the tubing and into the tank. The wells
aro "blown off twice a day, and they
produce as much as ifoperatrd with the
ordinary pumping outfit.

It is
Truer
Tod.'iy than it ever was, that this store
leads the clothing trade of Oil City and vi
cinity. Competitors may claim impossible
things by adopting circus methods of ad
vertising, but clothing buyers aro not eas
ily misled. We certainly have the finest
store in the city, and to the ordinary ob
