about to give him a sound threshing when
another man covered him with a revolver
and threatened to kill him if he made any
further noise. Mr. Wellar, of course,
quieted down. One of the masked men
guarded Mr. Wellar. another watched a
youug lady in the house and the third rau
sacked the house, tearing up everything he
could find. The only monej- he discover
ed was one dollar. The men threatened to
burn Mr. Wellar unless he told where he
kept his money, but Mr. Wellar insisted
that he had none. Finally oue of the
masked men asked him his name and when
he was told they expressed their disappoint
ment. and asked where Archie Thompson,
the well known Hickory township cattle
dealer lived. Mr. Wellar directed them,
but was careful to give the wrong direc
tion. Before leaving the house the men re
turned the dollar they had taken from Mr.
Wellar, saying that he was a hard work
ing man and that they did not want to
take his money. The men afterwards
tried to get into Robert Thompson's house,
but were frightened away.

On the afternoon of the sth Shannon ar
ranged to go to St. Petersburg for the pur
pose of working on the pipe line and Veon
consented to accompany him to this place
and return home by way of North Hope.
The camu here as stated, but by imbibiug
too freely of liquor they became pretty full,
and their death and injury was the result.

"Oh, Come to the Old Oak
Tree."
It happened this way:
Goncher found it, Greer went for it. i
Fleeger sawed it down, Abrams divided it.
and Russell "knew it all the time."
It was a bee tree, gentle reader, a bee
tree in the wood northeast of town, known
as the '-Hundred Acres" or -Reservoir
Hill," and If. 11. Goncher, Esq., discover
ed it thus: Some days ago as he sat on his
porch reading, a gentle zephyr blew from
the ' Hundred Acres." and a part of this
Goncher intercepted, whereupon he be
came excited and said:
••Fee. die. too, fum, (or words to that
effect), I smell the honey of a bee tree."
Ten minutes later he was wildly rushing
through the wood, and sure enough there
was the bee tree, and an immense one it
was. After taking in all the bearings, he
retired precipitately on being attacked by
about one hundred (100) of the bees. The
smell of the honey was so overpowering
that he could scarcely force himself to
leave.
(History is not nearly so clear on this
finding of the famous bee tree as we might
desire, so we do not wish to go on record
as absolutely vouching for the truth of the
finding of the bee tree. As to the remain
der. we have the full document* in the
case, including Goucher's confession. ED.)
Goncher then made straightway for the
office of Jno. M. Greer, Esq., to whom he
divulged the secret. A conference of a
few moments decided them upon organizing
a company, and Geo. W. Fleeger was call
ed. duly sworn, and but hold. Greer
says the oath did not appear to "take."
and he insisted on re-swearing him in
Dutch. Goncher was then elected presi
dent. Greer, secretary and treasurer, and
Fleeger, committee on constitution and
bv-laws. It was decided to take in two
more members, and E. E. Abrams and
Alex. Uussell were duly elected and sworn
in. Committees on uets, axes. saws, boxes,
barrels and shipping rates were appointed.
Adjourned.
Another meeting was held at which
much business was transacted, but owing
to the fact that secretary Greer lapsed into
a state of absent-mindedness in which the
most terrible symptoms were shown, such
as continually staring in the direction of
the "Hundred Acres", smacking his lips,
and murmuring, ' O, who would be a bee ,
all the while unconscious of the presence
of the other members, wo are unable to
give a report in full, but it was decided to
harvest the honey 011 Monday night.
On Monday night at 11 o'clock the mem
bers appeared in full force in the ravine
below tiie wood, armed and equipped, as
follows: Goncher; compass, "Hoyle on
Bees", constitution and by-laws, seal, riot
act. and bee-box. Greer: loaf of bread, big
spoon, dog will. Fleeger; cross-cut saw,
and file to sharpen, soda. Russell; axe
and .">OO empty honey-boxes. Abrams;
wheelbarrow, hogshead, torches, pick and
shovel, guns, rope, block and tackle,
matches.
Abrams immediately demanded that
Greer relieve him of part of his burden.
After much talk Greer took nine matches
on condition that Abrams would help him
over the rough places. Goucher wanted to
know what the loaf of bread was for. and
Greer replied, '"to feed the dog," in answer
to the question, "What is the dog for?"
Greer grew very much excited and wildly
wanted to know if they were aware of the
fact that the Mohawk Indian was buried
up there. Fleeger asked if the bee tree
was in the vicinity of the grave, and said
it might be better in that case to make the
raid in daylight, on account of Greer.
Greer disdained the imputation, but want
ed to know if it would not be desirable to
obtain legal advice in the matter of cutting
down bee trees. Fleeger immediately said
that he would not move a step towards it
till he had asked a lawyer. Goucher asked
how long the Indian had been buried, and
on being told, announced that the raid
would not take place that night, but
Abrams aud Kussell declared that they had
uot borne their burdens that far for nothing
and they would go on, whether the three
were afraid to go'or not.
The line of march was immediately ta
ken up as follows :
Abrams, and luggage, Kussell resting on
his left flank, and at an interval of fifty
feet, Goucher, Greer and Fleeger, in a
bunch, surrounded by the dog. Goucher
thought it might be less dangerous to close
up a little on the front, but it was decided
not. And in this order the party reached
the apiary, having previously drawn nets
over their faces, and placed gloves on
their hands. Torches were lit, aud the
baggage uulimbcred Fleeger began saw
ing, while the rest held their torches up
and scanned the tree. Sure enough, up
the side could be seen a large, dirty,
white uest out of which the bees were be
ginning to angrily dart. Greer mounted
a stump, and began, ''How doth '>
The riot act was read. Fleeger then was
beginning to tire and Abrams took his
place while Fleeger held the soda. The
tree was just about to fall when a frightful
yell from Greer turned their attention to
hint, lie was lying on a log, in one hand
he held a spoon, and in the other the loaf,
while on his breast lay his will. He feebly
asked Kussell to tell his family that the
Presbyterians had done for him. "See
that Goueher hangs foi this,'' he shrieked,
"see that ho hangs."
Goueher was hanging on a limb trying to
break the tree down, but be yelled:
"1 would'nt make so much fuss over
one little bee sting, Greer. Git offen that
log and help pull this tree down."
The tree cracked and came down with a
crash, and Greer was the lirst to the honey.
What there was of it was splendid, only
there wasn't auy of it, nor sign of bee.
Then the wrath of that crowd descended
upon Goueher, and they broke up his pret
ty bee box, and made a bon-fire of it, and
danced a war dance around it.
And Grcor and Russell caught him and
wanted to execute him indiau fashion —by
roasting—but Flecgcr appeased them by
singing a comic song, and having Goueher
promise never to do it again.
Then the corporation gathered up its by
laws and implements and went home; but
the story got out, and this is why Greer
and Goueher had important business out of
town the next day, why Kussel carried a
ri (le, why Fleeger was perfectly deaf, and
why Abraais tackled everybody with,
"Now, let me write you a policy in the,"
etc., etc.

Fanny Was Not at Home
Last Saturday night. She took the train
that afternoon for Columbus, Ohio, and
her husband went to the depot with her
to see her off. Her husband's name is
John Adams; he is a driller of oil wells
by occupation and has the reputation of
being a quiet, peaceable sort of a man.
He was sitting iu the front room of his
little cottage, on Kittanniug St.. at about
half-past nine last Saturday night, reading,
when he was startled by a knock at the
door. He opened the door, when a man,
a stranger to him, presented himself and
asked if "Fauny"' was at home. That
made John mad, and he talked ugly to th«
stranger and pushed him out of the house.
This in turn angered the stranger, who
probably did not know that Fanny had a
husband, as he was seldom at home, and
when John followed him out to the road he
fought back, and another man who was
with him took part, and it is said that
John was getting the worst of it, when he
took out his pocket-knife and proceeded to
carve the two strangers to the best of his
ability.
Then the twouien walked,away but they
had not gone far until one of them fell from
loss of blood, and was assisted by the other
to the "West Penn House. A physician
was sent for and it was found that Adams'
knife had penetrated his body about the
breast and stomach six times, and it was
thought that he was dying, but his condi
tion improved with time, and he was taken
to his boarding house.
Adams sought a friend and told him of
the trouble; the friend advised hiui to give
himself up. He did so and is now iu jail
awaiting the results of his carving.
He broke the blade of his pen-knife dur
ing the fuss, and is said to have fretted
more about that than the trouble he was
in.
The wounded man's name is Jacob
Bleehle. He is lately from Germany,and is

ONCE MORE.
The Truth and Nothing but the
Truth.
Many years ago when we. along with
our fellow citizens, were paying $l5O to
$250 for a buggy, we conceived the idea
that less than SIOO ought to buy a buggy
good enough for almost any man. Wo set
about investigating the mutter —went to
the largest manufactories in the U. S. and
made a contract for a full car-load to be
made to our order. We had the cash in
our pocket, and the result was that the
buggies were made and shipped to '.is.
Oui neighbors (we lived in Prospect, this
county, then) said we made a mistake—
that we could not sell them—and we con
fess when we did see them all set up in a
row we felt a little as though we had an
elephant on our hands in a dry summer.
Bnt we had good buggies, bought low for
cash, and of course we could sell low. It
was the tirst time in the history of Butler
county that a good buggy could be bought
for less than #IOO. In thirty dayswe were out
of buggies and another carload on the way.
Everybody wanted one of our buggies—
the rich man saw thej were good enough
for him to ride in and the poor man for the
iirst time in his life rejoiced in being able
to own a buggy. Just so it went; our bus
iness grew, neighbor told neighbor; it
spread all over this State and into other
States until we found it impossible to car
ry on our large business without good ship
ping facilities. AVe selected Butler as the
place last November. We purchased the
old manufacturing establishment formerly
conducted by G. C. Roessing ,t Son, on
Cunningham street, where we have located
permanently, and Butler can boast to-day
of having probably'the largest wholesale
and retail carriage dealers in the State.
We keep in stock everything in the Car
riage. Wagon. Cart Harness and Robe
line. We have top buggies from S4O up to
the very finest hand made work. Carts.
sl2 up; harness, $(3 to the very best hand
made harness to be lound anywhere, &e.
Our success in business we attribnte to our
rules first adopted, Xcvcr ii.sk' exhorbitaut
prices. Xerer t>iisrcpr<sent. Thus wo have
won the good will and confidence of every
customer. We say with pride that we have
sold hundreds of "buggies on time and never
had a man refuse to pay his note on ac
count of the article not being as represent
ed. This i> remarkable, considering our
nine years' business. We have plenty of
money: never sell a note. We discount
every bill, pay no rent; we give our cus
tomers the benefit of all this, and are close
cash purchasers. Our large experience
gives us a knowledge of the business that
can be acquired iu no other way. Come
down and see us whether you want to buy
or not: it is only a little walk down from
Main street and it will pay you well. The
