'a mile below Newtown Mills, was quite
seriously injured in a peculiar manner
on Sunday morning of this weok. Her
younger brother bad thrown a dynamite
or fulminate cap Into the stove which ex
ploded with considerable force, a portion
of the cap striklngand entering tliejoung
lady's breast near the collar bone, and
dangerously near one of the large arteries.
Dr. Detar, of Kellettville, probed the
wound a distance of an Inch or more but
was unable to reach the portion of the

in her physician believes the young lady
will recover without much difficulty.

The following iteniH concerning lor

The meeting at Itretz under Revs. Shoe
maker and liiabop continues with great
Interest. The house is crowded every
night and great interest is manifested at
each meeting aud conviction seems to be
deep The ministers look forward lo
goed results in the near future. In the
parlor of Mrs. J. H. Hulings, of this
place, stands probably the oldest clock In
the state. It is bo doubt an heirloom of
no small value to some of the families of
Centre county, Pa. It is of the old grand
pa style, stands over eight feet high, with
the usual features of those tall clocks ot
many years ago. Its records show it to
hoover a hundred and fiAy years old,
and what is still more remarkable is that
it always gives you correct time. Wbon
its sweet toned gong is heard every hour
you know the time to a second probably
because It lived when George did. This
old timer came to Tucker county from
Center Hall, Centre county, Pa., aud was
once the property of tbo Flemings, the
Curtius (ox-Governor of Penna.), of the
Smiths and later of the Murray a, one of
whom now lives at Centor Hall, a dear

James II. Shoemaker's. Narrow Escape.
James II. Shoemaker, a former Tioucs
ta boy, who has been employed as a
brakeman on the P. R. R, for the past
year or so, had a very narrow escape
from being ground to pieces while coup
ling cars at West Hickory last Thursday
evening. He was switching au oil car
and a cabor.se ironi the main track to a
siding and, In the darkness, the cars ap
proached the switcher sooner than he
had expected and he was struck on the
head by the steps at the side of the ca
boose, falling In such a manner that both
of the legs went under the car, one of the
wheels passing over bis right foot, while
his left foot was also caught and the heel
and sole of his shoe were ground to pulp.
He was given temporary attention by
Dr. Morrow, of West Hickory, and then
dispatched to his home in Oil City, the
engine and caboose being detached from
the train for that purpose. At lait ac
counts Jim was doing quite well and his
attending physician thought It probable
that some of the toes on the right foot
might be saved and possibly ail. He
was otherwise bruised about the head and
left hip, but nut seriously.

Normal Scholarship Winners.
Principal J. George Becht and Prof. J.
W. F. Wilkinson, of the Clarion Nor
mal, and Supt. D. W, Morrison, of this
county, conducted competitive examina
tions in Marienville and Tionesta last
Saturday fur the scholarships to the Clar
ion Normal school, which are provided
through the generosity of an uuknown
donor of Forest County. This is the
second contost of the kind that has taken
place In this county, and as an evidence
of the growing interest manifested it is
only necessary to state that sixty pupils
entered the contest against about half that
lumber last year. While the questions
were in the main rather strong it is pleas
ing to know that the percentages as a rule
were quite high. Following is the list of
the successful competitors:
Howard Uepler, Blocher school, Tio
nesta twp.
Marjorie Hill, Gilfoyle, Jenks twp.
Marie Dunn, Tionesta boro.
John Osgood, Tionesta boro.
Dott Bates, Endeavor, Hickory twp.
Elizabeth Dal ton, Marienville.
Charles Dotterer, Guitonville, Green
twp.
Dean Mechling, Clarington, Barnett
twp.
Mamie Engdahl, West Hickory, Har
mony twp.
Alta Ledebur, German Hill, Tionesta
twp.
Flossie Braden, Fitzgerald school, Bar
nett twp.
Bessie Douglas, Endeavor school, Hick
ory twp.
In addition to the above list seventeen
other pupils successfully passed the ex
amination and were granted diplomas in
the common school course of Forest
county, namely: Milton Wolf, Walter
Dunham, Alice Ledebur, Willis Meabon,
Maude Can field, Roy Noble, Myrtle
Mowris, Mary Setley, Bessie May, Robert
Hilling, Charles Johnston, Theodocia
Clnwges, Grace Del tier ick, Mabel Walk
er, Lura Jackson, Cynthia Carson, Eva
Tlugley.
Had it been possible for more than two
scholarships to be given to one school,
Maude Can field and Walter Dunham, of
the borough school, would have been
among the successful ones.
These scholarship contests have awak
ened a wonderful Interest in school work
among the pupils of tills county, which
must be very gratifying to the generous
douor, who has thus far prohibited the
use of his name In connection therewith.

Large Lumber Transactions.
The largest deal in timber that ever
took place In Clarion county was closed
In the offico of Corbetl A Rugb, attorneys
for Marvin Rulofson Co., on Friday eve
ning of last week. At the same time the
largest check ever issued in Clarion
county to our knowledge, was given by
A. Cook Sons Co. to Marvin Kulofson
Co., $200,000.00. The delivery of the
check took on a romantic character. The
delivery was the gracious act of Mrs. A.
W. Cook, to which Mr. Marvin responded
In a very happy manner, calling forth
the applause of al 1 present.
We bear that there is a possibility of
this timber being manufactured in Brook
ville at the mill of A. W.Cook. It is said
a railroad will be built from this mill to
this tract, a distance of about six miles.
The tract includes over 5,000 acres.
The entire purchase money was spot
cash. The attorneys for the respective
parties spent Friday in putting the pa
pers in shape for execution. Both par
ties are corporations. Corbett A Rugh
handled the Marvin Rulofson Co. end,
and C. Z. Gordon and J, T. Maffett rep
resented A. Cook Sons Co. In the prepa
ration of the contracts. If a railroad Is
built to the east end of the tract for the
purpose of taking the lumber to the
Brook ville mill, t will doubtless be ex
tended through the tract to the mouth of
Millcreek. The Brookville mill is well
equipped for the work, and its use for the
manufacture of the timber on this tract
would save the expense of a new mill on
the tract, or the repair of the one already
there theold Marvin Rulofson Co, mill.
When the late Judge Andrew Cook was
on his deathbed he expressed a desire
that bis family should continue in the
business in w hich he was engaged during
his life, the lumber business. And the
family has certainly done so. Imme
diately after the death.of Judge Cook, his
widow and all his children formed a part
nership for the continuation of the lum
ber busiuoss at Cooksburg. This firm
ran without a hitch until a corporation
was formed a couple of years ago. This
company haB extended Its field of opera
tions Into many other sections of the
country. On December 1, 1905, an option
was taken by A. W. Cook on the Droney
Lumber Company's plant at Unamis,
Somerset county, Pa., and in Garrett
county, Md., for the sum of $218,000. This
option was accepted and consummated at
Brookville, February 24th, 1006, by de
livery of the title papers. This purchase
included both the real and personal prop
erty of tbe Droney Lumber Company,
consisting of 6000 acres, band mill com
plete, 12 miles of railroad, logging cars
and two locomotives, store, hotel, and 25
houses, including all lumber and book
accounts, contract dating from December
1, 1005. Tbe mill on this property Is run
ningriiglit and day, and the outlook for
the future is good. The title to this pur
chase was taken 8 to A. W, Cook, 1 to T.
B. Cook and J to A. W. Scott. The bust
ness is to be conducted under tbe firm
name of A. W. Cook it Co. Clarion
Democrat.
