Frank May of Eagles Mere re poses in our county jail. lie was placed there last Friday. Sometime ago May purchased a team of horses on contract of Shaylor of Towanda; recently his goods were advertised at Sheriff's sale, A. L. Smith of Forksville, being the plaintiff. Among the personal property sold was the team of horses belonging to Shaylor as the contract had never been canceled. The horses brought 140 more than the debt. This May placed in his own pocket, hence the suit. It is a serious charge and it is believed that Mr. May will receive a pretty severe sentence. His wife and family have the sympathy of their neighbors. Richard Lisson of the 'Mere purchased one of the horses at the sale and Stewart Chase of Laporte, the otber, and naturally will not give up the same and all their claims unless forced to by law, hence the end of this litigation is out of sight.

A part of the railing en closing the second story veranda was broken into kindling pieces by the falling of poles which had been plac ed and chained over the rock in which the blast was placed. The force of the charge broke the chain, hence the accident. it was very fortunate however, that no person was injured as the poles, 15 or 20 in number and large rocks were thrown in the air fifty feet or more.
