Dear Sir: If there is a spot in your paint where the water gets in, the wood underneath is rotting or rotten. The timbers go too. Such a spot develops un?een in some corner —under the eaves perhaps—while the paint is still in good condition gen erally. Look out for such spots, or paint at random for looks. If you paint for looks you are likely to stop such spots before there are any spots. Extravagance pays in paint. Economy don't. Extravagance is economy. Queer, what puppets words are!

The excitement following the wild west experience with the Diddles hail scarcely died down until another trage dy occured in the county. Monday night Earnest Morrow died at his home in Worth twp. from the ef fects of wounds inflicted by David S. Sneathen. proprietor of a combined bak ery. restaurant and pool room in Slip ; peryrock The dead man is a son of Jonathau H Morrow. 33 years of age and mar ried Saturday evening he visited his brother Emerson, who is married and i lives in Slipperyrock Doth are lar.e muscnlar men. We are indebted to two citizens of the neighborhood for the following ac count. The two brothers were about the town during the afternoon and evening, and visited Sneathen's restaurant wher" they ate a lunch and a pie In the res taurant their conduct was boisterous aud their talk loud and profane. Sneathen. who is a small, slight man, and crippled in one leg through a rnna- J way accident two years ago. rem JH- | strated with the Morrows, saying there were other patrons whom thev annoyed and that his wife and other ladies were present and for these reasons they should not swear BO The Jond talk con tinued and when the Morrows were through eating thty refused to piv. Sue:»then said, "it is all ripht. I ku >w you boys and know you are a':l ii_'ht, and I can either get it again or a few cents." remarks enraged Earnest and he tlnew off Irs <'.<>; t and allowed that be could pay for all he got sral lick any man who said be couldn't. With these words iic started for Sneath en and chased him around the rojni. Sneatijen fl"(l out of the front door and s- •Ui.'ht refuse by entering the do r of h s house, adjoining the iv-t turanr, *ud locked himself in. Morrow pursued biui. kit i the door in utid attacked S lenthen a cain Sie ith j n beard him coming and armed himself with a bread mixer, a stont hickory paddle resem bling a pi' k handle. Morrow broke through the door and rushad at him and Su>-a iii*n i-tni ■:< h:-u over the head v n!i :!:e mixer, fellinc bim to the flour. Emerson followed his brother and also attacked Sneatl i n and was beaten over the head and s vetvly cut and bruised, but not dangerously. The above is the account jf the fracas almost exactly as given by Mr. Sneath en to a customer shortly after the affair and before anything serious was appre hended. Alter the fight Earnest walked to his father's home, four miles south of Slip peryrock later he complained of a severe pa: u in his head (caused by a blood clot forming on the brain) and be came unconscious. Earnest was attended by Drs. Pearson and Hockenberry. He did not regain consciousness and an examination show that his skull was fractured He was removed to the home of his father Jon athan Morrow in Worth twp where his death occurred Monday night Sheriff Hoon was telephoned to Tues day morning and Coroner Jones was no tified and deputized Justice of the Peace John E. Stoops of Slipperyrock to hold an inquest Sneathen did not seek to escape and Sheriff Hoon ordered that he be taken into custody pending the in vestigation. The building occupied by Sneathen is a large old three-story frame a few door's north of Eyth's hotel. Wednesday Sheriff Hoon was notified that an autopsy on Ernest Morrow's re mains was held, Tuesday, which show ed death had resulted from the fracture of the skull and a blood clot The in quest was not held until the day follow ing. Sneatlun was not arrested. There is no lockup in Slipperyrock. He says he will not run away but will come to But ler and gj to jail whenever wanted. He says he don't fear the result of a trial The hearing was begun before Esq. Stoops, yesterday, and was continued until today at 1 p. in.
