Ray. Amsler, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Amsler, took a bead-first tu.nble from the top of one of the small arches at the river bridge last Friday noon, alighting on the back of bis bead on the roadway. Although he was badly shaken up be showed clear grit aud went on to scnool. Later be became Violently III and was unconscious the greater part of the night but is able to be about as usual now. The boys have a habit of running over the top of these bridge arches aud if the practice isn't stopped we'll have a "roal" accident to record some day. Two cans of black bass and five cans of auuflsb, each specimen about three Inehos In length, were received here Fri day afternoon and planted In the Alle gheny river by local sportsmen. There was one big basa In the shipment, which came from the State hatchery at Union City. Quite a lot of the large basa were also placed In the river between here and Oil City the ssme day by Oil City parties. The planting of adult fish for propagation purposes Is new to this latitude up to a year ago when the head of the State hatcheries deoided that the practice of planting fry was only furnishing food for bigger fish and he decided to plant no fish that were not ready tospawn or which are not big enough to take care of them selves. The first test of this experiment locally was early In the spring when a large number or adult trout were planted In nearby streams. Many of these were no doubt taken out by fishermen but enough remained In the streams to ensure a perfect restocking ol the waters In which they hsve their quarters, A burglar entered the Globe Hotel at West Hickory between one and two o'clock last Wednesday morning and stole f 13 SO from the pocketbook of Clar ence Olney, the olerk of the hotel. The tblef gained an entrance by prying up a wiuduw iu the sitting room. A fter turn ing out the gas lights he entered Mr, 01 ney'a bedroom on the ground floor and carried nut bis trousers. Leaving the trousers In the sitting room he took the pocketbook to tbe office, where be left it on the clgsr case after taking out the money. Mr. Olney says the rascal was kind enough to leave hi in ten cents, The thief then went up stairs and entered the bedroom of one of the boarikjrs, who be ing a light sleeper was awakened and spoke to him. Tbe tblel answered biro, turned and walked down stairs and es caped by tbe window through which be bad entered. Tbe boardor thought at first It was the proprietor, Harry S. Can field, but when the man passed under a gas llghln the hall discovered his mls'aka. The thief was a short man with light hair, waa bareheaded and without a coat, and was wearing rubbers. He is positive he can identify the man and saw a stranger whom hedoclares was tbe man walking down the railroad track below West Hickory a few days later. Nothing but tbe money was missing from the hotel. The same night the Forest Hotel at West Hickory was entered and a quantity of eatable atolen. A burglar got into the Hotel Ryan at Tidiouto, by tbe fire es cape, at an early hour Tuesday morning, but was frightened away by the proprie tor's wile before be found anything to steal. A pair of suspicious characters were seen here and si West Hickory and it Is supposed the same gang is responsi ble for all the depredations. Forest Gas Co. Strikes Big Well. It was the Forest Oas Co., of Tidloute, and not the Enterprise Transit Co., which struck the big well reported last week. The latter company's venture on the headwaters of Bear creek Is reported to have come In dry. The big well Is located near Coon creek, noilbwest Irom tbe mouth of Judy run, tract 6501, Green twp.,nn the Forest Gas Co.'a lease, and Is undoubtedly a hum mer. CIihs. Gesin Is the contracting driller and he also drilled tbe Enterprise Transit Co.'a well, finishing both about tbe same time, wh'ch accounts for the error in last week's report. The Gas company's well la said to have filled a 250 barrel tank in a three hours' flow, when It became necessary to shut it in for lack of tankage. This would be at the rate of2,(K)0 barrels a day, but that fact rat. not be determined until means have been provided whereby the oil can be saved. At any rate the showing is for a bummer. Tho strike Is in the fourth sand, and the drill has penetrated it only to the depth of six feet. Latkr -We learn from an authoritative source that thj well flowed freely when ever opened up, and up to tbe last of the week 280 barrels of oil bsd been run into tbe pipe lines from It. It bad stopped flowing when opened up the first ol this week. The crew began work Monday to drill It through the ssnd, since which time no report has been received. Before that time the well made a, flow each time It was agitated. Ministerial Appointments. At the close of the Erie Conference of the M.

Uarter, of Lock Haven, Pa. G. F. and II. U. Watson and John Coleman, of Williamsport, Pa., purchased the Clapp timber on August 1, 1011, the purchase consisting of tracts 2822 and 2827, comprising 2,H0 acres.

It waa In fact tbe only pine timber tract left in this section that bad up to this time been left untouched. Tbe purchase price then was close to f 1 10,000, but the price In' the present deal is not made public. During the past year Colemau fc Watson purchased the Lincoln Oil Co. tract of 130 aores at tbe mouth of John's run, a mile and a hair up Tionesta creek, where they have built and have ready to run a very modern saw mill plant, with a aeven-mile railroad iuto the timber tracts.

United States Engineers Here To Gather Data And Report On Feasibility of Frightful Project. United Statos Engineers, C. E. Ash craft, II. S. Robh and E. F. Archibald, of Pittsburg, whose mission in this com munity was fully stated iu the article copied from the Oil City Derrick last week, have been in Tionesta a greater portion of the past week, and if there Is a prominent citizen in the town or neigh borhood that had not met aud conferred with them it is probably because be was not aware of their presence. As has been stated, these gentlemen are in the service of the Federal Government and are here to look over aud check up on the work of enginoers that were sent out one and two years ago by the Pittsburg Flood Com mission, and as we understand it, upon their report as to the feasibility ol the plans of the commission, will determine largely the course of the government as to Us joining or refusing to join In carry ing out the dam projects. It is the business of these gontiemen to gather all possible data bearing on the amount of damages which such a project would entail upon the people of the terri tory sought to be taken up by the build ing of these immense dams. Very much of. this data has been furnished by our citizens and if they have given biased figures, the engineers have gone over the ground in person, and we believe they have found that the - figures have in no case been exaggerated. In a trip up the creek as far as Kelletlvilie and back by way of Endeavor, they must have been astonlst.ed at the vastuess of the bavoo which the construction of these dams would work. Trie 103-foot dam at Stow b-md on the Tiouesta creek would wipe out the Cole man it Watson lumbering plant and railroad, ball a mile above it, which is just about ready to begin operations on the great body of virgin pine timber on tbe Clapp lands. The state road, the Collins standard gauge railroad, every foot of farm land with the farm buildings would be sub, norged by the great lake. The entire villago of Nebraska would be under 00 feel of water, taking in the ex tensive lumbering mill, barge yards, boat scaffold, hotel, grist mill, the four room school building, two-story town ship bouse, county bridges and all of the pretty homes, the large body of virgin aud second growth timber up Piuey run. Exteud ing further up the creek the two Coon creeks would be flooded for miles together with all the second growth tim ber, the State road would again be wiped out, together with tho tine State bridge, aud on up the valley tbe standard rail road, the farms and buildings lying along the banks of the creek as far as Kellett vi lie. At Ross Run the Wheeler & Du senbury railroad aud creek bridge, and backing up this stream the public road coming down from Whig Hill would he ten feet under water, aud a school house and more farms would bo destroyed. Kelletlvilie would be Hooded at every sudden rise iu the creek, aud the two big mills, tbe kindling wood and handle factories employing several hundred meu, and every building in the town proper, and there are too many to enu merate, would be flooded and people driven to the hills. Without entirely uew roads, starting at Kelletlvilie and climbing over tho hills, the people of that section could not reach their county seat, as every avenue of travel would becutoff. Over on the other side of the divide, by the Allegheny river dams the ideal little city of Endeavor would be wiped off the map. We call it a city because it has every commodity and com fori of tlie cities uatural gas, electricity, a splendid sys tem of water works, hydrants for fire protection and the dwellings all plumbed up lu modern style. The two great saw mills, handle factory, planing mill, church, kindergarten, four-room high school, splendid moduru homes, all tlx he wiped out. And down a little farther the splendid town of EaHt Hickory, with its stores, churches, large grist mill, iui meuso stretches of farm lands under a high state ol cultivation, the Hickory Valley railroad aud river bridge, would alt go. ' West Hickory, one of the liveliest bust nesa towus in the county with uearly four hundred iuhabitanls would be 40 feel un der water. Tho large tannery of Smith .t Co., furnishing employment fur nearly hall' the town and in which is iuvested half a million dollars, hotols, stores, aud other business places, the splendid new f 10,000 high school building, elegant church and parsonage, splendid homes, farms extending neatly two miles in length by uearly a mile in width, in which is Included the famous Carter farm with its many large buildings, aud all under the fluest state of cultivation, would be ono vast lake of water. On the opposite sido of the river the County Farm would be wiped off the map, with water extending to the very doors of the splendid County Home. Every road and avenue leading to this property would be cut oil', and to roach it at all would require the building oi a road back over tiio mountain, thus re moving it a distance of at least twelve miles from the county seat, aud that over a dozeu hills. Here again would occur the obliteration ol a Stale highway, and all the fine farm lands lying soutli of the county home down to the very breast ol the tiii-foot dam. This proposed dam is located within the borough limits about 20 rods above Riverside cemetery. It would flood Tubbs run for two miles no doubt, al most if not actually destroying the water supply plant. Tionesta Borough would be located botween two vast walls of water not two miles apart, with only artificial structures of uncertain strength to hold these mighty lakes from swallow ing up everything In their pathway should, they break, unquestionably they would break sooner or later, perhaps at the first filling, and not a soul in the town won hi es'-apo. Furthermore hundred ol lives all the way down the Allegheny valley would be sacrificed. Who would dare to spend a night In Tionesta? This In a general way gives some idea nfttie ruin aud desolation which these dams would work in Forest county, but not the half has been told after all, a do tailed statement of which would bo al most impossible to give. While , the gentlemen who are liere to Invesliu ite are not talking for publication, they have by their courteous bearing Inspired our pen plo to believe that tho report which they shall make to the government will be one ol lairne-s to tho great mass of citizens who are so vitally, Irightlully, cuueerued.
