mine und tho men were working towards
It In the Big Soldier mine, but by some

heading one of the miners, by a blow
from his pick, opened the way for tho
flood to got a start it was only tho work
of a second for tho wator to enlarge tho
opening and Hood Big Soldier when tho
men were least expecting It. Tho
alurra wus given as quickly as possible
and the men ull escaped without wait
ing to get their dinner buckets or coats.
Some of tho men waded in tho water up
to their knees. Mino props, powder
kegs, dinner buckets, coats and every
thing else that floated wero carried on
tho bosom of tho wator as It tuudo a

might have proven a denth trap to
many of tho minors.

the main building, where a large quanti
ty of leather was Ix-lng dried, and the
fire had reached a couple of rixims of
leather lx-fore It wus extinguished.

An Honest Confession.
It Is doubtless if tho renders of the
DuBols 1'mirtvr were ever more sur
prised, since that pas-r was launched
on tho sea of journalism as a daily, than
they woro lust Thursday morning when
they read the long urticle heudod, "O,
Save 'Our Fuir City,'" in whleh tho
Con, if ,- acknowledged thut tho streets
and alleys of that town "aro full of peo
ple every day and evening who may bo
thinking about bad things," and that of
"all the multitudes soon In the street
of Dullois but few, comparatively, it Is
asserted, can Ixi singled nut for a certain
ty ns carrying heads freo from all
thought of amusement, wiles, tricks,
sports and even waywardness, excepting
tho silent sentinels In front of tho cloth
ing and cigar stores." Tho ('mtrkr
ends Its honest confession by saying:
"The devil Is In our people and they
must be taken care of." Well! Weill!
It has been known In Reynoldsvllle'for
yonrs that tho dovll had a largo family
at DuBols, but up to the present con
fession tho Courier has been "winking"
ut tho wickedness in that town and
would got fighting mad if any othor
paper dared even hint that there were
naughty people in DuBols. The query
wit h The Star Is: What has happened
to the ('tmrirr'i Has the editor been
taking an active part In church work,
or hus ho some fears of being suddenly
transported to the placo where daily
paiHjrs aro not issued and editors are
numbered with the "Angel band?"
Didn't Know He Had a Gun.
One morning last week as a citizen of
this place was standing on tho corner of
Main and second streets having a few
"words" with his "better half" a stran
ger came along and stopped to toll tho
man how cowardly it was to quarrel
with a woman. Tho Reynoldsville man
did not relish tho lesson on politeness,
and being much larger than the
stranger ho attempted to flog him.
Tho llttlo man, however, was too quick
for him and landed the first blow, which
rolled his opxncnt In the gutter. The
enraged man sprang up, drew a rusty
revolver from his hip pocket and the
stranger bolted. He ran down Second
street to tho Sandy Lick, plunged In,
swam and waded across, and when last
seen wus disuppenring over tho hill
west of town. Although the stranger
showed considerable nerve to tackle a
man larger than himself, yet when ho
looked Into the barrel of a revolver his
his coiii-ago fled and ho was not long la
starting after It, never even looking
around to seo If he was pursued.
