West Hickory bad a small fire Satur
day morning at an early hour that might
have swept a good portion of the town
had it not been discovered in time to pre
vent. In some manner unknown the
Blacksmith shop belonging to J. S. Vail,
attached to his livery barn and very close
to other buildings, caught tire and when
discovered the rool was ready to fall io.
Prompt work prevented the fire from
communicating with other buildings but
the shop was a total loss. Had there been
the least breeze In any direction many
adjaceut properties would have gone up
In smoke.

The Tltusville Herald of Friday said:
"A Warren gentleman, so well known
throughout this section that his name
would bring surprise, said to the Herald
yesterday that in his opinion John M.
Andrews will never clear himself of the
charge of murder; and he further ex
pressed the belief that Andrews Is not
guilty. He said that it is a most peculiar
case and one which perhaps could hardly
be du plicated. He says that a good many
Warren people believe that someone be
sides Andrews slew Emile Aniann, but
that the truth In the matter will never be
known. He Intimated that there are
worse things in the world than hanging,
as much as to Infer that something deep
and rank and mysterious and disgracing
lies behind the whole ail'air. He stated
that it is about the only subject of con
versation in Warren and that public sen
timent is very strongly against the ac
cused man."
It transpire that Phil Blum came
home from Bradford last week to nurse
some severe burns which he sustained In
a gas explosion. A well on which be wss
working bad Just struck the sand and was
"gassing" heavily while the bailer was
being run when the owner, who was in
the derrick, struck a match to light hie
pipe. There was nothing to It but a big
flash of fire enveloping the whole derrick
space. Phil was waiting at the mouth of
the hole for the bailer to appear and got
the full force of the explosion. Bulb arms
were severely burned to the elbows, and
bis face was also srverely scorched. He
is getting along all right now, and will be
able to return to his work in a couple of
weeks.

William S. I'aca, president of the Ve
nango Motor Boat aud Canoe club, Oil
City, received a letter Friday from J. W.
Arras, assistant engineer of the War De
partment, Pittsburg, of pleasing contents
to local navigators. Engineer Arras
writes that Mr. Cook of Nebraska, Forest
county, Pa., and a force of government
employes are working at obstructions
along the river and will soon be in Oil
City, That the Department has written
Mr. Cook to place himsell under the di
rectlon of Mr. Paca and co-operate with
the local navigators' association in dredg
Ing channel and removing obstructing
rocks at and between Oil City and Rock
moro eddy. The engineer adds that Mr,
Cook has been authorized to hire teams
and to use scrapers where tbey can be
worked to advantage. The letter closes
with the assurance lhat the Motor Boat
aud Canoe club will receive every possible
assistance from tbe Department short of
the construction of dams.
In this issue of tbe Republican Is
published the new law relative to forest
or woods fires, tbe cutting of trees on
other people's property, etc., passed by
tbe Pennsylvania legislature last winter,
Those interested and that takes in about
everybody will find this piece of legisla
tion drastio enough to suit tbe most
venomous taste. Stringent laws are
necessary In order to prevent woods fires,
or the wilful cutting of Umber or trees ou
another's property, but to say that by
stepping upon another's property and
thereby "do or cause to be done any other
act to the damage of said land," Bhall sub
ject tbe Innocent offender to heavy dam
ages and imprisonment, is rather too much
so. And woe betide him who "negli
gently" allows a fire set in a "clearing"
to get away from him, thereby causing
any damage to the land of another, for be
shall be liable to be thrown into prison,
and made to pay heavy damages bes des.
It looks as though tbe legislators bad
overstepped themselves in their efforts to
be stringent.
Forest tins Co. Finds a Good Well.
The Forest Gas Company of Tidioute
drilled in a fine oil well on the Lacy
lands, near Golinza, Green township,
last Thursday. It Is located on Scipio
run, warrant No. 5503, and Is about 80G
feet south of tbe previous developments
by this company. The company has a
large number of good paying oil wells
on tbe lease, the oil being found In a
stray sand. Tbe new well differs from
these In that the pay streak was devel
oped in tbe fourth sand. While the well
was being drilled through the sand It be
gan to flow, throwing out about 100 bar
rels of oil. The well has not been sbot
and was put to pumping Monday after
noon. Iu eighteen hours it put fifty bar
rels of oil in tbe tank, which would indi
cate that the company has opened up an
exceptionally rich pool. A great deal of
interest has been created by this new
strike. This company has a large acreage
under lease, covering about everything
in that section.
Wm. Blunt Painfully Injured.
It is with sincere regret that we chroni
cle the severe accident which befell our
fellow townsman and near neighbor
William F. Blum last Thursday. While
shoeing a horse belonging to George
Brady of Starr, the animal stepped upon
Mr, Blum's left ankle throwing blm for
ward to the floor, and in another step the
horse set his foot upon Mr, Blum's left
arm breaking the bone about midway be
tween tbe shoulder and elbow in such a
manner as to almost permit of the bones
protruding through tbe flesh or muscle.
Dr. Bovard was summoned and reduced
tbe fracture and on tbe following day Dr.
Sigglns of Oil City was called In consulta
tion and it was deemed best to encase tbe
injured member in a plaster cast in order
to hold it in place. Although suffering
severely from pain Mr. Blum is doing
well and keeping as cheerful as could be
expected under the trying ordeal, and
hopes to be able in a few days to leave
his bed, but it will doubtless be many
weeks before be cau resume bis usual
avocatian, Tbe horse is not oue of the
vicious kind, iu fact rather of the docile
sort, so that tbe accident was entirely un
avoidablethe kind that happens when
least expected.
