On Monday last two cattle, one
yearling and one two year old were
stolen from Barney Sheehan of La
Porte twp. Tho thief was met on
the plank road leading from Tliorne
dale to this place by teamsters in
the employ of .Tames McFarlane.
The thief inquired of the boys the
nearest route to Long Pond saying
that he was in the employ of Mr.
Riekett and that the cattle had
j strayed off and he was returning
I them tot heir owner. The team-]
stors put him on the Black Ilill road
which is a short cut from near
Thornedale to the Long Pond. On
Wednesday, however, while Thomas
Sheehan was looking for his cattle,
inquired of some of the tannery
boys if they' had seen tiiem and on
describing the animals, was told that
they had met them on the plank and
that they were being driven away by
a party who claimed that they be- 1
longed at Long Pond. Mr. Sheehan
I after being thoroughly convinced
that the cattle belonged to him,
started in persuit of the thief, ar.
coinpailied by his brother Dan, on
Thursday. They drove to near
1 Shiekshinny, Luzerne county on
Friday, where they learned that a
man had passed on Wednesday
driving two heifers answering the
diseription as given by them. They
continued their journey, however,
and was soon told where they had,
been disposed of by the thief. They I
went to the parties and claimed
their property which were given up
to them after they had given a ins
cription of the same. Two farmers
had bough the cattle one trading a
silver watch for the two year old
and the other giving eight dollars in
cash for the yearling. The boys
drove the cattle home on Saturday
II pto this date no clue has been
found of the thief but it is supposed
that it is the same party that stole
the Corson horse which we gave a
full account of in our last Week's
issue.

LaPorte twp., was arrested for the
above mentioned crime and lodged

from his back door when the earth j
opened, and ho dropped out of sight;
into the old Bear Run Colliery.)

little ones were left behind standing
On opposite sides of the hole.
llad the hole been a foot wider
both children would have gone
down also. When the children re
covered from their fright they scream
ed for help. Their mother came toj
the scene, and seeing what had oc-|
curred, she ran through the village]
giving the alarm. A crowd soon
collected. The cave-in was sounded
and found to be thirty-eight feet
deep.
Butts could not be seen, but his
groans were distinctly heard, and
proved that he was still alive. A|
rope was procured and let down,|
and in a few minutes they heard a
feeble voice calling on them to
"hoist." In a few minutes Butts
was landed on the surface. Ho was
found to be badly bruised and hurt!
internally, audit is feared he cannot

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS
Is a, mutual exercise taken by a great many people, and, as is natural,'
they sometimes overleap the mark.
A CASE IN POINT:
A roan was looking at our suits a day or so since. He admired them;'
thought them-stylish and etc. But when be leiruftd the price wns only
$15.00 a suit, he said : I, THEY CAN'T HE ANT GOOD AT THAT
PRICE."' "Why not ?" we said : "Well," he replied, "I never yet saw
a good suit as low as that.' The man was reasoning from his experience'
among high-price dealers. It's astonishing how these dealers have im-'
pressed the popular mind with the idea that nothing good can be had
he low their figures. WE ARK HAVING TO FIGHT THIS PREJTT-'
DICE, and we're doing it with deadly effect. When once the public
linds by actual test, that our $15.00 suit is the peer of any SIB.OO suit
they ever bought, guod-by to Mr. High Price Our #15.00 dollar suit
are the wonder of the season to those who DO NOT JUMP AT CON-'
CLUSIONS.
