Monday morning the DuBols Courier contained an item from that paper's special correspondent at Brockwayville, which claimed that a young lady seven teen years old, living near Brockport, had given birth to triplets, whloh had human heads and dog bodies from the shoulders back, and that all are doing nicely. Tho correspondent finished the wondorful news item . by saying, "This Is no 'fish' or 'snake' story, but a fact as reported to your scribe by a reputable citizen of that vicinity." The report bad a lie on the face of It, because such thing is an Impossibility. A gentle man came from Brockwayville Monday evening and said there was no truth la the statement and no foundation for such a report. Blew Out His Light. A corn doctor got two dry goods boxes and three or four tallow candles for lights and opened up his medicine grip and his "bazoo" on Fourth street, near Hotel Belnap, Saturday evening and soon had a large crowd around him, with the small boys In the front row. The corn-cure peddler soon learned that the boys could make more noise than he could. Polite requests for the boys to behave was like water on a duck's back. The impudent young scamps threw paper balls at the candles, extinguishing them one at a time until the old doctor and his audlenoe were loft in the darkness. The fakir said he bad paid a license to sell on the street and he should be protected, but in this statement he handled the truth rather carelessly, for he had not paid for a license. While the old man was breaking an ordlnanoe and should have been "pulled in" for it, yet that was no excuse for the hoodlum actions of the small boys. Tumbled In. Tennlo May, oleven-yoar-old daughter of William Ilnrkloy, narrowly iscbhm2 being drowned in the Bandy Lick crook last Wednesday. Tennlo and hor little brother, Oaring, and Junna Love crossed the crook on a foot log, a short dlstanoe below Mr. Bnrklny's house, to gather some elderberries. On tho home ward trip Junna crossed first and Tennlo started after her, but whon near tho middle of thn stream sbo stopped to wait on Cnartng, sho being afraid ho might fall In. Whllo standing thore waiting Tennlo got dlxry and tumbled Into thn water. She went down twice, and whon she camo up the second time she caught hold of a board and held onto It until help camo. Thn screams of tho children attracted tho attention of somo follows who were playing cards under a shade tree hard by, and they hastened to thn rescuo. Before tho men arrived ('earing stood on the frail foot walk and reached out his littlo hand to help Tennlo out of the water, hut the girl hod sense enough to know that who would pull tier brother In to If she took hold of his hand. Tho parents were away from homo and Dee wanted Tennlo to go and get meat for dinner before sho started for berries, but Tennlo would not go. She says It was awful dark under the water and all sho could think of was not going after that meat for Don. 1 Kicked Out. Glenn Milllren has a young hnrso that Is not a lover of dogs, and It will kick at onn whenever It gets an oppor tunity. Last Thursday morning Glenn was driving bis nag along Main street In a buggy and when ho got opinislto Hotel Dillmnn a boy pawied with a Billy goat hitched in a littlo wagon. Glenn's horso mistook Billy for a dog and kicked at It and started to run. At tho Belnap hoiiHo tho animal's mar extremities flew into space and one foot caught Glenn on tho left side and raised him out of tho buggy. Tho runaway bent an axel on Jaeob Schwem's "'WWi which was standing on Fourth street, near Hotel Belnap, and then tho horse ran Into a p'io of brick and left thn buggy and took a jaunt to Solo mon Shaffer's lumberyard and camo hack and met Glenn on tho street and Htopjied. Tho buggy was a llttlo disfigured, Glenn's watch had tho tick knocked out of It, as it was between Glenn's sldo and the horse's hoof when tho kick was delivered that compelled tho young man to ungracefully get out of tho buggy, otherwise thore was no damage dono. Tho young merchant was a little sore for a fow hours. Most all Wind. A follow, of this place, and an other, of Hopkins, raised quite an ex citement near the A. V. R'y station lost Saturday evening just aftor tho seven o'clock train pulled out from tho sta tion. Tho parties had some previous trouble and Jim, with a number of friends, was at tho train to moot Harry for the purpoHo of settling tho matter In a SulllvanlHtlo stylo. The Hopkins lad had a crowd with him. Words are cheap and wind plonty, but whon It come to tho fighting point Jim lacked staying qualities and ho ran through tho crowd with Harry after him. Jim squealod for merry and the fight, without tho spilling of a drop of blood, ended. There Is no doubt but that some person was to blame for the dis graceful scone, just whom we are una ble to say, but It would have boon right to have arrested the participants. House Burned. Last Wednesday the house of Isaiah Wolfe, with all Its contents but a sew ing machlno, was totally destroyed by fire. Mr. Wolfe has a wife and seven children and even their clothing was burned, only that which was on their backs. The unfortunate man lived near Panic. E. W.
