her unconscious aud endanger her life.
She was found in the woods near Harper's

scious with her clothing almost torn from
her person, and was taken to a neighbor
ing house. When she recovered conscious
ness she told a story that caused the arrest
of two youug men namad Elliott and

named McKissick living near Fryburg,
Clarion county. He found it one morning
with its tongue cut out and the next night
its ears were cut oil' close to its head, and
it had to be killed. There was no clue
at the time to the inhuman perpetrator.
The other day his son James McKissick, at
a hearing chargad with the offense, was
held under SI,OOO bail to appear at court.
The farmer had employed a detectiye to
work up the matter, and when the evidence
pointed to his sou as the criminal he dis
charged him from further duty in the case.
The citizens of the place, learning of the
facts, subscribed about S4OO, which was
offered as a reward for the apprehension
and conviction of the criminal. The son
offers as an excuse that the horse kicked
him.

A Great Picnic.
Given the best of weather for a picnic, a
splendid place to hold one, every detail
arranged for. and a prosperous community
eager for a day's outing, and what is the
result?
A success—of course.
The Merchants' picnic was a greater
success this year than it was last —tin'
weather was more propitious and the
grounds were larger. Some think the
crowd was not as large as that ol last year,
but they should remember that while it
had but ten acres to spread over last year
this year it had t Up to six
p. m. Wednesday sixteen hundjed tickets
had been sold at the depot here for the
Park, and as at least four hundred moie
persons went up that evening, the attend
ance from Butler reached two thousand,
and those from other points probably
swelled the aggregate attendance to six
thousand.
The program, as advertised, was well
carried ont. Both Messrs. S. F. Bowser
and Walter Graham made very nice
speeches, and after them the races were
the most interesting features. The tub
race was particularly amusing and was
won by a man named Robinson —a camper
in that vicinity.
The hop. step aud jump contest was won
by George Westhoven, the ball player,
with John Cliristlcy of Centreville a good
second.
The double oared boat raC' was won by
Paul Cronenwett and Al Walters.
The sack race, by a cauiper from the
city.
The Fat Man's race was won by Will
Stein.
Major Reed was the oldest man present,
and Turner, the liveryman, the heaviest —
weighing 247 pounds
No record was kept of the prize cards
given out.
Row Over an Oil Well.
Tlie prevailing topic last evening among
itil men was what they termed a "high
handed outrage" on the part of a gang of
thugs at Mars station, on the Pittsburg <$
"Western Railroad, *22 miles from Pittsburg,
who tried to take possession of an oil well.
J. T. Johnston. ex-Superintendent of the
Pittsburg it Western, has been drilling a
well in that vicinity, and when the bit
struek the sand he shut down and com
menced leasing territory in the neighbor
hood. lie boarded up the well, but left
no one to guard it, and Sunday night a
gang of drillers, who were supposed to be
in the employ of the Standard, took pos
sion of the derrick and proceeded to drill
through the sand.
Mr. Johnson heard of the affair, and, se
curing an athletic assistant from Alle
gheny. he went to the well at a late hour
on Sunday night and surprised the men at
work.
A desperate fight ensued, and one of
the trespassers was almost beaten to death
with a club in the hands of Air. Johnson's
ally, and another of the gang was shot,
and so badly injured that he had to be car
ried oft' the field. Mr. Johnson and his
force were victorious and, strange to say.
escaped with only a few bruises.
The attempt of the marauders was con
sidered the boldest piece of business
which has occurred for several years, and
the pluck and bravery of Mr. Johnson in
attacking the gang, which numbered at
least a do/en, won for him the admiration
of the producers. The names ot the in
jured parties could not be learned.—Pitts

Get Ready for the Fair.
From the splendid crops of the year and
from the interest already taken by persons
asking for space, the managers of the But
ler Fair Association predict the grandest
exhibition of agricultural products ever
seen in Butler county, on their grounds for
September 10. 11. 12 and 13, the dates of
the next Fair.
To meet the expectations of all and be
ready for the vast crowds that will lie
present, they have purchased the three
acres of ground, lying between their former
fence and the l'earee road, and have ex
tended their fence to the road. This allows
of ingress and egress by the gate on that
road and will be a great accommodation to
the public. They also have a force of men
at work, enlarging and improving the
grand stand and other buildings, and add
ing to the number of stalls.
The Secretary will not open his entry
books for a week or two yet, but keep the
dates of the fair in mind, and preserve
your choicest produce, fowls and animals
for exhibition at the Twelfth Annual Fair
of the Butler Co. Agricultural Association.

ONCE MORE.
The Truth ;intl Nothing hut the
Truth.
Many years ago when \ . along with
onr fellow citizens. were paying > 150 to
$250 fur a buggy. »c conceived the idea
that le.--than SIOO <> ight to ! a i. . ... .
pood enough for almost any man. We t
about investigating tin- matter —went to
the large t manufactories in t! • I". S. and
made a contract for a full car-load t-> be
made to our order. We had the t u-h in
oar pocket, and the result wa> that the
buggies were niadi and .-Slipped to its.
Oiu neighbors (we lived in Prospect. this
count}', then) said we made a mistake —
that we could not sell them—and we con
fess when we did see thein all ■-> t up in a
row we felt a. little as though we had an
elephant on our hands in a dry summer,
lint we had good buggies, bought low for
cash, and of course we could sell low. It
was the first time in the history of 1 Sutler
county that a good buggy could be bought
for less than slim). In thirty days wo were out
of haggles and another carload on the v.ny.
Evrryiiody wanted one of onr buggies—
the rich man saw thet were good enough
for him to ride in and the poor man for the
first time in hi.s life rejoiced in being able
to own a buggy. Just so it went: our has
in ess grew, neighbor told neighbor; it
prcad all over thi-State and into other
States until we found it impossible to tar
ry ni our large business without good ship
ping facilities. We selected Butler as the
place last November. We purchased the
old manufacturing establishment formerly
conducted by G. C. Rooming «t- Son. on
Cunningham street, whore we have lot ated
permanently, and Butler can boast to-day
of having probahly'the largest wholesale
and retail carriage dealers in the State.
"We keep in stock everything in the Car
riage, Wagon, ("art Harness and Robe
line. We have top buggies from S4O up to
the very finest hand made work, t arts.

Our success iu business we attribute to our
rules first adopted, Xtn r a*l: cxhorh >ant
prices. Xerer misrepresent. Thus we have
won the good will and confidence of every
customer. We say with pride that we have
sold hundreds of baggies on time and never
had a man refuse to pay hi< note on m
count of the article not being as represent
ed. This is remarkable, considering our
nine years' business. We have plenty of
money; never seli 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 acquit Al 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
