"Guilty of murder in tbe second de

tbe court" wan the verdict returned
against Eugene Tallraan in court at Erie,
Pa., Sunday morning. Tallman was con
victed of shooting and killing John May,
prosperous farmer of Girard township,
Erie county, on tbe night of November
30, 1009. Tbe case was one of the hardest
fought battles ever witnessed iu the courts
of Erie county and tbe conviction was al
most purely upon circumstantial evi
dence. Tbe Jury was out eleven hours.
Tallman was one of four men who
planned tbe all'air apd stole a floe team of

Halley's comet, in all its glory and
porting its enormous "tail," has been
seen by many of our people during tbe
past week. Friday morning fully a
hundred persons, old and young arose
between one and two o'clock and walked
a mile up the German Hill road to tbe
Proper farm, where a good view was bad
of the celestial wonder. The comet rose
into view about three o'clock and was
plainly visible for the greater part of an
hour. The sky was very clear and the
tail of the comet was visible for some
time before the star itself hove into sight.
There was some disappointment that the
comet did not present a brighter appear
ance, but the crowd as a whole lelt well
repaid for any discomfort sustained on
account of Its early morning pilgrimage.
A crowd had been upon tbe hill Thurs
day morning, but tbe conditiou of tbe
weather was not so favorable for a good
iew of the comet, although it could be
seen, from May auu to 23d it will be at
its brightest In tbe northwest after sun
set, though a tail of great length is not
probably. It sets two hours after the sun,
May 21st three hours May 23d, four hours
May 27th, and lades from naked-eye view
within the next fortnight.

Oil Property Burned.
As a result of a bad forest fire which
swept through tbe woods ou Poverty
Hill, Harmony township, Tuesday fore
noon, much valuable oil property was
burned. The fire started near the Fogle
Farm between 9 and 10 o'clock and is
supposed lo have been caused by sparks
from tbe McCabe Bros, logging locomo
tive. A high wind fanned tbe flames and
swept tbem through Ihe woods with ir
resistible force, an area of three or four
milea being r ' ered before tbe fire could
be checked. The heaviest losers are as
follows: M. N. Gilbert, of West JIbkory,
on tbe Watson farm lease. He bad six
wells rigged op and a 60 barrel storage
tank with about 40 barrelsofoil. Every
thing went but tbe power bouse, which
was built on a big rock and protected.
On tbe Erb lease, owned by Mr. Nason,
of Hydetown, were six or eight wells and
a small saw mill. Tbe mill was saved.
Tbe O'Hare lease, owned by E, O, Pe-
quignot, of Tldinute, bad four wells.
Wilbur Scolleld, of Pleasantville, had
between 30 and 40 wells and several
powers on tbe Watson farm lease. Our
informant could not give the exact losses
on Ihe last tlirre properties, but says the
bouse and barn of Gleun Dibble, tbe
pumper on the Scofield property, were
saved after a bard fight. All but one of
the powers on this lease were gone. The
losses In tbe field will probably be quite
heavy, A large force of men was out to
fight the fire and the soaking rain of last
night would quench all remaining fires.
