more came at him, and he was knocked
down, tied and gagged. The robbers,
who had their faces blackened, then de
manded his money, but he had none of .
any account about the house, which
they -searched, finding abont sl7. They
threatened to torture him, and stayed

ing themselves. They released him I*J
fore they left and he gave the alarm,
but they had disappeared, and he could

they could get a manufacturing plant
to locate on it. On this offer John C.
<irah.nu and T .T Shnfflin went to
• Pittsbnrg anil interviewed the B<s>e
mer railroad officials who said they
won Id willingly pat in a switch free to
1 any manufacturing concern which had
business for thiui.
With this first class site free aril free

to induce any honest, reliable manufac
turing concern looking for .\ location.
: to settle down on the flat lands near the
Fair Grounds. Here is a good chance
, for the right people.
The Board of Traile, by expending
only Ijsi.ooo. succeeded in locating the
American .Mirror Works and the Nu
■ tional Cigar Factory in Butler. The ;
two concerns together give employ
| ment to about forty people. That was j
! a well expended ?!.000. One of the |

employing four people. The Board of

find profitable employment for some of
