-Stephen Taft. employed at Urey's
livery barn,' met with a very painful ac
cident yesterday morning. One of the
horses had gotten the halter rope over
his head and Stephen passed into the stall
to free the animal, and doing so the horse
lurched sidewise catching his right arm at
the wrist and jamming the elbow against
the side of the stall in such a manner as
to break both bones near the wrist so that
they protruded through the flesh. Dr.
Bovanl dressed the wound and made bis
patient as comfortable as possible, but
Mr. Traft will be a louir time laid up by
his injury, which may leave him perma

A new counterfeit $20 gold certificate

very poor photographic production, print
ed on two pieces of paper, with heavy
red and blue silk threads distributed be

made to tint the notes but the led and

applied that the bogus bill can be readily

favored the audience with a number of
vocal selections,
There Is no use worrying, frelling
and losing sleep because some one lias

common lot ef a man iu business. The

for alleged mistakes; the railroad agent is
frequently backed up In the corner and
given to understand this and that and th
olherthing; the butcher is forever n mind

Clarion county must build a poor
house. Among the opinions of the Sih
preme Court handed down last week was
on reversing Judge Wilson iu tbe mat
ter of the county buying a farm and erect
ing a county home for the poor. The
poor overse. rs of Edeuburg and Clarion
petitioned Judge Wilson for a writ of
niendainus on the county commissioners,
compelling them to buy a farm and con
structing a poor house. Judgo Wilson
dismissed the petition of the appellants
and an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. That tribunal reversed the de
cision of the lower court and remitted the
records with instructions that a peremp
tory mandamus lie issued as prayed for
and that the counly commissioners pav
the costs. The people of Clari n need
have no uneasiness about tbe change In
the system which a countv home will in
volve. If their oillcials exercise good
judgment in the erection of the home, as
lid Forest countv, lie citizens will like
the new order of things much better than
under the antiquated overseer system,
for it will prove more humane and much
less expensive.
One day last week while Sheriff Nob
lit was passing through the upper corri
dor of the jail his foot came in contact
with a projecting bolt in thelloor. Upon
investigation he discovered what had
been a well-designed plan to break jail
by some prisoner that had been confined
there recently. A part of the floor l
fur mid of heavy glass made In two sec
lions iu older to admit light into the low
er corridor. These sections are fastened
with bolts. Tho nuts had been unscrewed
from below and two of tho bolts almost
entirely cut off, but the would-be jail
breaker had been foiled in bis attempt by
the swinging of o'io of the upper doors
directly over tne glas section thus pie
venting its raisinu more than an inch or
two. i lad the door been closed it wnuhl
bae been an easy matte' to have thrown
this section back and gain the corii
i dor al ove, and as this portion ot the
jail is seldom locked, to have passed
out and flow n through the shot ill 's house
inotr-edom. It is ni elle-s to say this
lit'l" mailer lias been repaired and every
IhitiR made secure.

Might Have Keen Big Blaze.
What might have beou a big biaz was
nipped in the bud by ihw prompt action
of tbe tire brigado yesterday evening
aliout 5:00 o'clock, when the large Dale
building was discovered to be on firo.
Tbe south wing or dwelling portion of
the building is occupied by V. ii. Arm
strong's family and it was here the fire
started. The origin of the fire is some
what of a mistery as there bad been no
heat in the chimney lor some time, a
small stove with rubber hose attachment
having been used for heating, and the
most plausable th-ory is the existence of
a small leak in tne gas pipe near the base
board that may have been burning for
sometime unnoticed. At any rate the
partition inside was charred from the
ground floor to the coiling of the upper
kt-.ry, sud the rooms were filled with a
dense smoke. A dash from the hose was
enough to sqiielsh the flame.
This is one ot the largest buildings in
the city, in the third story of which is lo
cated the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodge
r mums, and had (be lire gotten beyond
e ui.trol would have made a terrific blaze.
Tue damage to the building will possibly
reach f 100, and about the same amount
to Mr, Armstrong's household goods.
t lapn Property lb-nl Consummated.
The Clapp property deal was consum
mated Friday evening and the deed was
recorded on Saturday. This deed con
veys about 10,126 acres of land Id Presi
dent and Pinegrove townships, Venango
county, and Tionesta township, Forest
county, beini; the real estate, less re
serves, hold by the Into Edwin E, Clapp,
deceased. Only a consideration of flOOO
appears in tho document. The convey
ance is made by John M. Clapp and Anna
P. Clapp, his wife, of Lakewood, N. Y.,
to II. J. Crawford and T. O. Gregory of
Kmlenton, Pa. The indenture is dated
December 31, 1902. C. Heydrick signs
for the grantors as attorney in fact.
It is set forth in the conveyance that
John M. Clapp has come into possession
of the holdings of the other legal heirs of
tbe late Edwin E. Clapp, whose signa
tures apiear in the instrument as follows:
James McLain, Mary McLain, Charles
McLaln, Ralph Clapp McLain and Caro
line G. Mclain. The following legal heirs
whose right, title and interest have been
acquired by the said John M. Clapp ate
named In the instrument: Edward C.
Shankland, Ralph M. Shankland and
Emeline F, McAllaster, children of Eme-
Iine F. Shatiklanii, deceased, and Caro
line C. McAllaster, John M. Clapp and
Ellen C, McLain, said Emeline F, Shank

McLain being sisters and said John M.
Clapp brother of said Edwin K. Clapp,
deceased.
There are a number of reservations and
exceptions relating (o private property
previously conveyed out of certain tracts,
oil and gas leases granted, and school,
church and mill properties. These reser
vations and exceptions are not very clear
to an Individual who Is not personally ac
quainted with the properties, although
written with the evident intention of
making the provisos plainly understood
to one having a knowledge of tho loca
tion. The document consists of a num
ber of lengthy, closely type-written
pages, replete with descriptions and ex
planations. Considerable guessing is being done as
to the probable price paid. The parties
interested and their attorneys declined to
make pubiiu tbe exact consideration for
which the property sold, but it was ad
mitted that it was In excess of f;)50,000.
This Is the largest real estate transfer
ever made in Venango comity. Some
idea of the magnitude of the transaction
ran be gained from the fact that it te
quired five attorneys, woiking unceas
ingly for two weeks, to make the re
searches of title necessary to its culmi
nation.
