Harrison Swab, of Hunter Station,
had an experience with a cross bull Tues
day of last week which be doesn't care to
have repeated. Tbe animal is a stray
three-year-old Jersey which bad been
staying about bis farm for a Dumber of
days. While be was driving bis cow to
pasture in the morning he was attacked
by the bull, which suddenly became
cross and butted him through a barbed
wire fence, tearing on most of bis olotbes
and considerably bruising bim. Tbe
fact that tbe fence was near probably
saved Mr. Swab's life as he bad nothing
with which to defend himself and tbe
maddened brute could not get through
the wires. Mr. Swab and his lather, Geo,
Swab, drove the animal away with pitch
forks. The owner bad belter look after
tbe critter before be does any other dam
age, as he is certainly dangerous while
at large.
J, R. Rose, chief engineer and one of
the Incorporators of the proposed water
company that is applying for charters on
Tionesta creek, made a visit to Tionesta
Thursday, in an eudeavor to convince the
County Commissioners and tbe people in
general that the scheme was not so bad as
painted. He failed, bowover, to remove
any doubt from the minds ol our people
as to the serious aspect of tbe proposition,
or to convince them that they should
withdraw their opposition. On the con
trary the publio is more aroused than
ever over the dire results that would ac
crue from such a stupendous outrage. On
the same day both of the National banks
in this place took up the matter and
passed strong resolutions against tbe
scheme, which have been forwarded to
the Water Commission. In tbe meantime
the citizens of Oil City have become
thoroughly aroused over the project, and
several drastio editorals have since ap
peared in the Derrick condemning tbe
proposition aud calling on the publio to
fight It to tbe bitter end. Surely tbe
Water Commiasinn at Uarrisburg cannot
ignore those protests, and it is hoped and
expected that it will very promptly
squelch any further efforts on the part of
the Incorporators to further their ends.

Chester Hollister Fatally Injured.
Chester Hollister, who resided on bis
farm at tbe mouth of Sowers run, ou tbe
west side of tbe river, one mile above

sylvania railroad freight train, about one
o'clock Sunday morning, Sept. 17tb, and

tle. Tbe Injured man was not found

da, who found a pool of blood, a tobacco
pouch and a penoil beside the track.
Hearing groans he Investigated further
and found Mr. Hollister lying uncon
scious at tbe water's edge, fully twenty
five feet from the track. It is not thought
that the foroe of the blow knooked him
over the bank, but that he rolled over the
steep bank alter lying beside tbe rails for
some time. Tbe unfortunate man was
removed to bis borne and Dr. J. C. Dunn
was summoned, who found five bad
scalp wounds, the most serious being a
gash extending from tbe right ear clear

Forest County Lumbermen Lose by
Flood.
The Forest Barge Co., cf Hickory, and
Collins, Darrab Co., ol Nebraska, were
heavy losers In a flood which amounted
to almost a cloudburst in Pittsburg last
Friday night. Tbe former company bad
12 new barges moored near tbe 43d street
landing, and the latter bad 4. All were
torn from their lashings by tbe terrific
rush ol waters, and the strong cables
were snapped like mere beduorda when
the drift and debris came banging against
them. Some of tbe big boats are known
to have saddle-bagged upon the bridge
piers and broken in two, while others
were carried on down tbe Ohio, and all
more or less damaged. At last accounts
14 of the 16 barges bad been accounted
for, but just what condition they were in
could not be learned. In any case the
loss which tbe owners will sustain is
likely to run Into tbe thousands.

HUNTER.
Julia Ann (Noble) Hunter was born In
Pinegrove township, Venango county,
Pa., October 11, 1841, and died at ber borne
In Tionesta, Pa., on Saturday morning,
September 16, 1911, at about 4:30 o'clock,
aged 69 years, 11 months and 5 days. She
was tbe fourth daughter of a family of
nine children born to Daniel Drake No
ble and Rosannab (Bush) Noble, tbe for
mer having been born In Massachusetts
and tbe latter In tbls state, Tbe name of
Noble is of great ant'qulty in Great Brit
ain, In tbe works of tbe court at tbe
close of the reign of King Richard 1, 1181),
appear the names of Rodger and Robert
Noble. In a printed history and geneal
ogy of tbe Noble family the name of
Thomas Noble, of Westfield, Massachu
setts, of the second generation, appears.
After tbe settlement of America we learn
that there were In the year 1878 eight
thousand of hia descenants residing in
different parts of the United States, di
vided Into eight generations. Men prom
inent In all professions aud walks of life
appear In this list, Including rectors of
parishes, ministers of tbe gospel, aod all
the known professions and higher call
ings In life. At all periods of our coun
try's history tbe Nobles have been noted
for their patriotism, both as officers and
privates. When danger was threatened
tbey were among tbe first to take up arms
to resist foreign invasion and suppress
domestio treason. Although tbe record
is incomplete, Ibis volume gives tbe
names of seventeen wbo took part In the
French and Indian wars, filty-one in tbe
war of the American Revolution, thirteen
lu the war of 1812, and eighty who fought
in our late Civil conflict. Daniel Drake
Noble, tbe father of tbe subject of tbls
sketch, was also a direct descendant of
Sir Francis Drake, tbe first Englishman
to circumnavigate the globe in tbe years
1579 and 1581. When the subject of this
sketch was sixteen years of age tbe
mother died, leaving a family of nine
children. In the year I860 Mr, Noble
moved bis family to tbe Wolcott prop
erty, now known as tbe County Home
farm in Hickory township, be having a
short time previous married Catherine
(Wolcott) Myers, a resident of the latter
place, who for many years was a good
mother to the motherless. It was bere
tbe deceased grew to womanhood and
whereon December 2, 1872, she became
the wife of William L. Hunter, Squire
James Green, a former well known Jus
tice of the peace of Hickory township,
performing the ceremony. Four children
were born as a result of this union, three
of whom with the aged father survive, as
follows: Mrs. Rosa Hunter Smith, en
gaged in mission work in East Africa,
now home on a vacation, William D,
Hunter, of North Warren, Pa., and Miss
Blanche J, Hunter at borne. She was a
faithful wife and a tender, loving, con
scientious mother. Blesssed with a Godly
mother, ber beart was early turned to the
Lord and at the age of eighteen sbe was
clearly converted and joined tbe Metho
dist Episcopal church. From the begin
ning sbe was an earnest worker aud es
pecially gifted In prayer, so those wbo
knew her as a girl testify. For fifty-two
