was going the rounds yesterday. It is

approach the stream with all the scien
tific precautions usually adopted by per
sona claiming to be real piscatorial artists.
It is said he just saw the trout and auglcd
for it with a book and line baited with a
frog. The four pound fish waa the result.

J. U. Hulings Wins Brother's Estate.
Sinoe the death some months ago of W,
W. Hulings, well known to our older
citizens, a former resident of Louisville,
but for several years interested in Colo
rado gold mining enterprises, where he
bad made his home of late years, there
has been a contest as to who should in
herit his estate. John D, Hulings, the
only surviving brother of the deceased,
aud a former well known aud popular
citizen of Tionesta, has been adjudged
the rightful heir according to the follow
ing account of the contest taken from the
Boulder, Colorado, Tribune:
"County Judge Junius Henderson de
cided the issues In favor of John Hulings,
brother of the late W. W. Hulings, or
Ward, and against his flster-in-law, Mrs.
Scott Sax ton, or Denver. The property
Is chiefly mining interests at Ward, wor'li
approximately $25,000. By his will of
1897 Mr. Hulings made Mrs. Saxton his
heir. It was admitted by the beneficiary
of that will that there were no Inter-dependent
relations. Tbey were more those
of Bister and brother. She felt that she
was entitled to be his beir because of their
long association in this relation and felt,
furthermore, that Mr. Hulings would
have made her his heir had his mind been
firm to the last. Mr. R. R. Gibbon, of
Ward, Gibbon A Rowland, Boulder at
torneys, and others showed to the court's
satislaetion that Mr. Hulings, who died
in a Boulder sanitarium, wassanototbe
last and uninfluenced by anybody. The
court legretted that the parties did not
agree upon a division of the estate but
felt compelled by the testimony to decide
that the will made a few days before his
death was Mr. Hulings' real testamentary
wish. When, acting on the initiative of
Mr. Gibbon, who was with Mr. Hulings
at Ward before be was brought to Boulder
Mr. Gibbon drew a rough draft of a will
in favor of Mrs. Ward, a niece, be said:
"No, tbat'a not it. I want to leave my
property to my brother wouldn't you?"
Reception.
One or the most pleasant and enjoyable

their wedding tour, embracing Olean,
Buffalo, Niagara Falls and other large
cities, their many friends took this oppor
tunity to extend to them their hearty con
gratulations and best wishes for a long
and happy life. About two hundred and
fifty or them gathered at the pleasant
home of Mr. Johnson on the evening of
June 20th, the evening being an ideal one
for the occasion. The guests were seated
on tbe enclosed veranda which extended
on three sides of the bouse, while the
Kellettville Concert Band rendered sev
eral selections which added very much to
the occasion, after which, tbe bride and
groom having beeu stationed under the
wedding arch, the guests were formed In
line and passed before tbem, each one
offering bis hearty congratulations. Then
they passed around to their original seats
where they were served with delicious
refreshments by a corps of beautiful
young ladies, under the direction of Mrs,
HarkiBon and Mrs. John Shaw, caterers.
The refreshments consisted of seven
courses, including all the delicacies of
the season. During tho evening tbe
bride and groom were the recipients of
several valuable presents. The hour of
midnight having arrived, the guests,
after bidding Mr. and Mrs. Johnson good
night and wishing the bride aud groom
God speed on their journey through life,
took their departure, each one feeling in
his heart that it was the most enjoyable
occasion of his life. A Guest.

TIONESTA 12, TIDIOUTE 4.
Tidioute, our old rival, sent down a
team Saturday, accompanied by a goodly
number or loyal supporters. A good
game resulted in spite of tbe large num
ber of errors on both sides, Tionesta bad
two bad innings and practically gave tbe
visitors all their scores at the beginning
of tbe game. After that tbey could not
bunch any hits on Bankbead's good
pitching, although there were several
chances to score. The visitors' errors
were costly and these, coupled with some
good bitting, enabled the home team to
roll up a rather one sided score. Our
boys got eight hits off Hallock in four in
nings, and two off Proper in the next
four. There were three fast double plays
in tbe game. Tbe score:
