death-like tenacity; then sitting
there as if bolted to the floor with
railroad iron, and Compelling others
to scramble over their pedkl extrem

On the night of July 4th Frank
Cole a well known young man of

lowing circumstances. It appears'
some two months ago that and
Cole had had some difficult}" at
Carmody's hotel Vliere Diake had
assitltbd Cole and nearly bloke his
leg. On accottiit of this bad blood
existed bekweteri the two. At about
12 o'clock at tiiglit Drake caiiie clown
tlife stairs froin the dance in Garey's
Hall tlli'd was accosted by Cble who
asked llim if he was as a man
as he at CanHbdy's. T" this
Drake teplied he was, and a better
man; They then cbuimenccd fighting
when Drake drew out a dirk
knife and stabbed Cole a mithber of
times about tHe head and breast
inflicting very serious wounds.
Cole was carried into Billiaus Restau
rant. I)rs. Waddell and Herrmann

July 4th,' nit LaPorte.
The celebration held at 1 fil'orte
was one of the p'leasiintest occasions
of the kind i'Jr many years. The
was not very large, but it was
orderly and bent oit having a good
timfe which evefy 011 r hail. There
was little or 110 drunkenness, 110
brails or street ligl'ts but pleasure
was enjoyed iii huge chunks. The
spee'fch of David C'taft of Wyattising
Orahd Master of Pennsylvania Odd
Fellas was one of the very best we
eve£ listened to. It was a thought-'
ful "'nd patriotic address and at times'
the orator gave his audience a treat
to genuine and inspiring eloquence,
j&ll who heard hifn united in the
most li&uty praisO. The Festival
for the benefit of the church was a
bomplete success the receipts being
over The da'neing in the even
ing and sports of ilie afternoon were
also* thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Frank Oallagher had charge of the
stand Erected fof the festival and
proved to be a model salesman, with
his assistant-George Lnurenson, he
turned in over #SO. as the result of
his labors. Comparisons are
so we can n6t mention the good
workers, but all united to make the
affair a success which it proved to
be. The good order which prevailed
was as gratifying to the ladies as the
supply of money which was so freely
given. The funds will be used for
the immediate repair of tbe church.
