Philosopher, ' 'it is this habit carried to
extremes that lands the incendiary in
jail."

a dollar and get the CITIZEN for a year.
We can furnish a few more copies without
increasing the capacity of our presses
—Election officers can seenre nomina
tion papers for the coming party primaries
for tho Febuary election by calling at
the office of tho County Commissioners.

town have dissolved partnership, Mr.
Myers taking the Butler store, and Mr.
Bellas the one at Cooperstown, where he
has Harry Iseman as a partner, under the
name of G. C. Bellas & Co.
—Late last Saturday night, Humane
Agent Skillmau found an old horse near
Kramer's livery, aud had him taken in and
cared for, but as the horse's board-bill is
being charged up to him, and as he cannot
find the animal's owner, be is becoming
very tired of the humane business.

miles west of Kirby, Or. He is W. H.
Miller, a miner. He owns a rich ledge,
from which he leisurely pounds out $lO
or<sl2aday. Under proper development
the ledge would yield rich returns, and
Miller has had many offers to bond, sell,
form stock companies, lease and make
the most of his property, but he declines

I own it. I'm independent as a hog on

just as I am."

miles northward in company with Indian
guides, with dogs and sleds to carry provi
sions, to tho barren grounds to bunt the
musk-ox. The artist hurt himsolf and had
to turn back, but tbe writer kept on; and

night, with the mercuiy 50 dogrees below
zero, but ho was clothed in fur.

EIOUT BELLS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15th
Of this great attraction which will short
ly appear at the Park Theatre the Pitts
burg Tunes says: "Eight Bells," that
rollicking creation so full ot lun, acrobatic
leats, and mysterious happenings, opened
a week s engagement at the Bijou Theatre
last night. That it has been a favorite
with the patrons of that house in the past
was evident from the crowd which filled
every available seat and laughed contin
uously. The Brothers Byrne havo im
proved their nautical pantomime since it
was last seen in Pittsburg, introducing
some new features, and eliminating sever
al that were noticeably weak. Tno strug
gles of McGozjle with the octopus, al
though familiar, were watched with inter
est anfl laughter. The storm at sea was
realistically portrayed, and the various
incidents leading up to the wreck were
greeted with one continuous round of ap
plause. The animated statues ware an
other source of amusement and were voci
ferously recalled. James, Andrew and
John F. Byrne appeared in some new ac
robatic specialties.

SrraKMK COCRT DECISIONS.
At the reconvening of the Supreme
Court in Philadelphia, Monda| a large
number of deeisoms were haaded down,
and among them the lollowing in cases
appealeJ Irwin the court of this county.
Com. ex. rel. the Butler water Co. v
riueseli et al reversed.
This was the case of the Water Co.
versus the oil producers who where run
ning salt-water into the creek, above the
town, and if the decision cf the Court here
is reversed on general principles, it may
shut down every salt-water producing
will in the county.
Speaking of the decisions of Judge Greer,
Justice Williams says:
lie directed the company in the most
peremptory manner to provide reasonably
pure water aad in sufficient quantifies for
the pnblic use, and enjoined tneni against
the collection of rents until the order
shonld be obeyed. But in this case, in
which the water company asks the court
to protect the stream, on which it is de
pendent, from contamination, the relief
prayed for was refused.
Tour business, says the court below, is
a public one and voa must furnish whole
some water to the borough of Butler.
When the company seeks the aid ot the
court to protect the water supply, the ans
wer is: Your I usiness is a private one;
your grievance is for a mere personal in
convenience and (or a personal injury.
The Supreme court further says the de
fendants were thus permitted to destroy
the business and franchises of the com
pany and the water supply of a town of
10,000 people. Tbe decree of the lower
court against the wator c»mpany in its
suit is reversed, and the record is remitted
for further proceedings.
What will follow will depend on the
full text ofthe decision which is not yet
here. At present no salt-water is going
into the creek above the new dam.
Brvmer et al vs the Butler Water Co.
C P." in equity. Affirmed at cost of ap
pellant. This was the case of the people
of Butler against the water Co. for furnish
ing us with impure water and the decision
of the Court here stands.
Krepps vs Miller affirmed.
Double vs Union Heat and Light Co.
affirmed.
The decision of the court of Allegheny
Co. awarding Herbert BaKer. of Centre
ville $6,000, for having his back broken in
the elevator ot the Penn building was
sustained.
The first case on the list tor argument
at the present session ol the Supreme
Court in Philadelphia, is of considerable
interest to oil men and is from this end of
the state. It is the appeal of Isaac E.
Blakeley and wife against Thomas M.
Marshall, trustee. A very peculiar ques
tion is raised and it is one that has never
been decided by the supremo court of this
>tate. The appellants, who were the
plaintiffs in the court below, are the life
tenants of certain property in Butler
county valuable for tbe oil beneath it.
At their death the property is to no to
their children. When the land was given
to them the parties did not know anything
about tho oil. In 1894 oil was diseovereu
and an attempt was made to work the
territory. In order to loase the property
the consent of the orphan's court was ob
tained and tho conrt ordered tho income to
bo invented, the interest to be paid to the
tenants and the principal to behold for the
children. Bht this was only a matter ol
compromise. A well was drilled and con
siderable oil has been taken from the land,
the value of the whole being something
like $50,000. In order to settle the ques
tion of ownership the matter was carried
to supreme court. As the matter stands
now the parents have rot the right to drill
for oil as they are only life tenants. The
children have no right to drill, as they are
not in possession. There are wolls on all
the surrounding farms and unless tbe mat
ter is remedied none of the owners of the
Blakeley farm will gain anything. Under
the law of Pennsylvania life owners can
not open mines, but they may work mines
already opened. But this is different from
a mine and it is claimed should be decided
differently, as in the case of a mine tho
mineral will remain until the rightful own
er may enjoy it. In this case the oil and
gas will go out of the ground through
neighboring wells.

Frank Mills' Bravery
At the request of Hon. T. W. Phillips
Frank W. Mills, late First Sergt Troop
"C" Ist New York mounted rilles, is lur
nisbed wfth an attested copy from the
war Records at Washington D. C. of Gen
eral order No 42 dated November 20th
1802reoiting acts ot heroic bravery on the
pirt of Frank W. Mills as a soldier and
meritorious conduct, that was read in
piesence of his Regiment at Suffolk Va.
on 20th day of November 1862. This or
der was issued and read in presence of his
Regiment by Charles C. Dodge who was
at that date Colonel of the Ist New York
Mounted Kifles.
One of the cirounistances that lead to
the issuing and reading of the above order
was as foßotfe: In the month of Novem
ber 1862 while the Ist New York Mount
ed Rifles were at Suffolk Va.
Colonel Dodge was- ordered to cross the
Black Water a wide stream near Suffolk
Va. Iu obedience to this order Colonel
Dodge took his Regiment the Ist New
York mounted Rifles to the edge of the
Black Water and could there plainly see
the Rebel pickets on the opposite Bhore.
The Black Water at this point was about
20 feet deep and Col. Dodge being anxious
to know the strength of the Rebels on tho
oposite shore befora he would risk taking
the whole Regiment on the other side
asked if there were three men in tho
Regiment that would volunteer to cross
the Black Water and learn the strength of
the Rebels on the other shore adding that
he would not order any one to go over.
To this request Sergt. Frank W. Mills was
the first one to step up to his Colonel and
volunteer to cross the Black water when
two others Sergt. Eddy and Sergt Cavin
augh also stepped up and volunteered to
cross the Black Water with Sergt. Frank
W. Mills. Col. Dodge gave the instruc
tions to Sergt. Mills and walked with
them to the Black Water's edge and
shook the hand of each and said "Good
Bye boys" and they plunged their horses
in and had not swam very far until the
Rebel Pickets on the opositejshore fired at
them and kept on fireing and they kept
their horses Bwimming on and when they
reached tho oposite shore in tho face of
tho rebel pickets who wore still firing on
them rode right out of the water and went
on to the top of the hill or eminence on
the other side where they located in the
val'ey below some ten Rebel Regiments
bestiring themselves to advance when
they wheeled their horses about in a rapid
under fire ol the advance and made for tho
Black Water. When they reached theedg*
of the Black Water they dismounted tore
down the Rebel Pickets tent and load
ed tent and the Rebel cooking utensels
into a Rebel boat that lay there then took
the Rebel boat the Rebel tent and the
ltebol cooking utensels and pluneed in
again and by this time the Rebel advance
was so near that Col. Dodge had to use
uome howitzers that he had other
side to shell the Rebel advance back.
All three'Sergts ot which Frank W. Mills
was one returned unhurt and brought tho
Rebel boat the Rebel tent and the Rebel
cooking utensels to the other side where
tho Ist N. Y. mounted Rifles lay when
Sergt. Mills reported to Colonel Dodge
that thero wore some ten regiments of
Rebels advancing on them, the Ist N. Y.
Mtd Rifles fell back a safe distance and
was saved by the lirayery. and heroic--con
duct of Sergt. Frank W. Mills Sergt.
Eddy Cavinangh. Although
General order No 42 has been on the war
records ever since Nov. 1862. Mr. Mills
never got a copy of it until Congressman
Phillips run across it in the War depart
ment a few days ago when ho requested
that a copy be furnished to Mr. Mills im
mediately as Mr. Mills is one of his con
stituents and in compliance with Mr.
Phillips request} the Secretary of war
directed a true copy of tho record of Gen
eral order 42 be furnished to Mr. Phillips
which was doue and in turn mailed by
Mr Phillips to his constituent Frank W.
Mills of Chicora Pa-, and on January 2,
1896 the same reached Mr. Mills.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
A French boarding housekeeper per
petrated a rather unpleasant joke on his
boarders a few days ago at Irwin, Pa. It
appeared that while discussing the better
eatables of the .-easoa. the proprietor sug
gested cat as an excellent dish in making
up a menu. Xeturally, of course, and
then owing to the eagerness with which
he presented his palatable dish, he was
the fan making mark for the balance of
the workmen. Whether this action of
the men had anything to do with the case
or not, or whether for some other reason
he set his mind to get even with the non
admirers of the excellent (T) dish, is not

set his four dignified lodgers down to an
excellent sjpper of roast rabbit t?).
Everything went wflluntil the rabbit had

ed himself for a few moments, and walk
ing into the kitchen tie gathered together
the head and hide of the cat they had just
finished," and walking to the dining table,
he set it down before the guests and coolly
remarked: "Xow look at the rabbit you

Archie Baxter, a native Armenian, now
employed as a foreman in the cork factory
of Armstrong Bros, in Pittsburg, has re
ceived the sad intelligence that his lather,
mother, brother and sister have been mas
sacred by Turks at Kharpoot in Asia
Mine . The murdered man had been pas
tor of the largest Armenian church in
Kharpoot for 13 years past and was widely
known and very influential in Turkish Ar
menia. Young Baxter told the story ot
the massacre in a manner that showed his
appreciation of the Armenian situation
and his desire to further any effort possible
for their relief. He said: "I have been in
this country for some time, but heard re
gularly from my parents. I received a
letter from my lather about a month ago,
and while all the family were then well
they seemed to have a foreboding ol com
ing trouble. He said h& was always ready
for the worst that might occur, and that
there was imminent danger of an outbreak.
Many villages and towns around Kharpoot
had been sacked and burned. There .'as
much suffering among the people, and.
while there had been no .-peeial trouble in
the city, it was expected, for the Turks
and Kurds were around This may be my
last letter, he said, but if I am spared I
will write again. Why don t the Ameri
cans help us 7 If they can do nothing more
let them pray lor us." 1 have never heard
from him since and never will."
