SHE HAD GONE FOR THE COWS. Not m the history of the Coun ty has an event occurred whose details are traught with greater horror, or the result of which has awakened such uuiversal sympa thy for the suffering family, as tbat which resulted late last Sat urday afternoon, in the terrible death of Allura Regina almost fourteen years of age the beauti ful and happy daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J 1 Scott Daniels, at their home at Patterson's Run, on tne turnpike, four miles west of McConnellsburg. Mr. Daniels is a son of the late John Daniels, and was raised at ths "Brick House," on the pike just west of Harns'tnvule; his wife, Eliza, is a daughter of the late 3. Frank Sipes, and was born and grew to womanhood in her lather's farm near where Pat terson's Run empties its waters into Licking Creek four miles south of the turnpike. The place where Mr. and Mrs. Daniels now live will be remembered by the older people as the Felmalee place and later as the McDonald the late J icob McDonald, a well known hotel man, buying the place many years ago, and erect ing the present buildings with a view to conducting a hotel there. The house a large brown frame one standing to the left as one appr mches the bridge across Patterson's Run,, at the western foot of Scrub Ridge, is a familiar object to travelers over the turn pike in recent years. Like a prosperous farmer, as hem, Mr. Daniels has quite a herd of cattle, and m this herd was a three-year-old bull, that weighs about 800 pounds, with sharp spike horns -about eight inches in length. Mr. Daniols has owned the animal for more than a year, and there was never anything in the appearance of the animal that awakened fear on the part of himself, or of any other memb?r ot the family. Mr. Daniels'is one of the ad ministrators in the settlement, of the estate of his late son in law, Elmer Trogler, who died at the Trogler homestead near Mercers burg last fall, tf hydrophobia, and was away from Jiome last week. Last Saturday evening about hve o'clock, "Lurie," happy an cheerful, left the house with a pail of milk to go out to the field and feed the calves, and then- to go on to a distant pasture field which is over the hill, aud out of 'ght oflhe house to bring hpme the cattle. An hour or more later, Mr. Daniels, returning home from franklin county, found in coming to the woods east of his fields J along the south side of the pike, I fa's cattle in the bushes along the uun, aDd stopped to gather them and drive them on down to his I home. About this time' be heard X the voice of his daughter Rebec- ca, who had become uneasy at the I deay in the return of Lurie, and I Had gone up on the hill, and soe- iu her father called to bitn. ile ( ascended the hill, and went on to ?the pasture field, where near the tars that had been opened by Lurie to let the cattle out, he ; found her sunbounet, and thinn f 'ng that she had gone home, he ! pioked up the bonnet, and went within calling distance of the f house, and inquired whether i Lurie had returned home. On beiug Informed that she had not, he retraced his steps, and the mother, now alarmed, followed. Uoing farther into the pasture Uell, shreds of clothingJocks of 1 1 l'air, the "trampled earth, awak eneJ the most terrible appreheu ( "ns, and following on to some i buHhea at the bide of the held his heart almost Btood still as he be 'eld his daughter bruised and deeding, with every vestige of FATAL LIQHTMNQ BOLT. Two Young Men Killed on Sunday Fore- noon, Near Six Mile Run, Bedford County. During the stortti on Sunday forepoon, N lightning struck the dwelling oNAlbert Figart; ran down the roof and into a room where the family und a young man by the name of Riley, from Altoona, a relative who was visit ing them at the time, lie was standing in the door, while Mrs. Figart was washing the hands of her 12 year old son, Sherman, and was between the two boys, when the holt of lightning killed the two boys instantly. No one else was injured. The Riley b jy was about 17 years old. The home was damaged but little. The sympathy of the whole com munity goes out to the bereaved and distressed family. WATERFALL. IN HYMEN'S REALM. Mrs E. P. Gresh and three children, aud Mrs. Parker of Norristown came to Waterfall in their auto, and are the guests of II. 11. Berkstresser. Mrs. Joseph Barnett is under Dr. R. B. Campbell's care, with typhoid fever. Bruce Barnett, of Trough Creek is the guest of Jas. Bar nett. The ram kept many people from the busb meeting at Dub lin Mills Sunday last. Harry McClaia of Wilraore, is spending his vacation wi th friends in Ta lor. clothing torn from her body. In tuitively the mother was soon on the scene, and removing one of her own skirts, the child, who was now wholly unconscious of her surroundings, was tenderly wrapped up, and carried toward the house. A physician was hastily sent for, but death came Ions, beloro the physician; and had he been there when her fath er first discovered her, her life could Hot have been saved. That the bull was responsible for the terrible death of the child, is not questioned by those who saw her lacerated and bruised body, and saw the dreadful bat tleground. What enraged the beast, or led him to attack the child, will never be known. There were no bril liant colors in her clothing. Bat the infuriated animal like a de mon from hell, with tail lashing the air, head bent down, horns extending forward, with fright ful bellowing charged down upon the defenseless child who was do ing her utmost to escape impal Ing hev upon his horns and toss ing her up in the air to fall down andy be trampled upon. From the way the ground was torn up, this was kept up for a distance of more than two hundred yards, and ceased only when the almost lifeless body was tossed into the bushes. Words cannot express the an guish of her parents, her six brothers and sisters, and her many young friends for she possessed that disposition that won to her the good will of every one who knew her. The fuueral took place at the home at 10 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, services being conducted by her. pastor, Rev. Diehl, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. McGarvey, , of the M. E church. Besides those who went afoot or on hoiseback, there were sixty-three carriages aid buggies in the funeral procession that lollowed the remains to the ceme terv at Greenhill Presbyterian crimen wnere interment was made.

Miss Katliryn Metzler, nf HarrisonvillCt Becomes the Bride of Promi nent Attorney. Married, Thursday, July 8, 1909, at the Met'iodist parsonage, Huntingdon, Pa., by the Rev. J. S. ftouser, Keuel Somorville, Esq. of Patton, Pa., and Miss Kathryn Metzler, of Uarrisonville, Fulton county, Pa. The above notice would be sul liciont to convey the information that our'legal Irieud had become a benedict, but we cannot refrain from saying a word on the sub ject. In the first place we do not take kindly to the fact that he made this important step with out consulting his fellow mem bers of the Civic Improvement Club, and iu the second place, it was most unkind of him to keep the secret hidden within his man ly breast for six long weeks aud then spring it so suddenly upon his friends. Had he made known his intentions at the proper time the members of the club would have gone in a body to be present at his nuptials. As it is, howev er, we forgive him since he woo od and won a young lady who is so well and favorably known here and must commend him for his most excellent selection of a life partner, therefore when she ar rives to make her home among us, a kindly reception will be ac corded her by the members of the aforesaid club and a great host of other friends. Mrs. Somerville is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. George Metz ler, of Uarrisonville, Fulton coun ty, Pa., and is a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families in that county. She is highly educated and refined aud during the past year while a nsi dent of Patton, made many friends by her charming disposit on and many beautiful traits of charac ter. We need say little of Mr. Som ervillo. He has lived here for many years, during which time he has applied himself closely to the practice of law, and is one of our foremost citizens. No encom ium from our pen could add lus ter to his reputation esaman, for he is held in highest repute by all who know him. He is a man 'of commanding presence, cordial in manner, of strictest rectitude, and is in very fact one of nature's noblemen. The writer extends his hearty congratulations; with the hope that long life, happiness and pros perity may be the portion of this newly wedded pair. Mr. and Mrs. Somerville will occupy their handsome home on Beech avenue, after October 1st. Patton Courrier. HARKISONVILLK.
