RE - OPENED SUNDAY. | Successful Organ Recital Saturday Evening and Interesting Services on Sunday—Emi- nent Clergymen Here—Description of Fine Instrument Installed. The Methodist church was re-opened for worship last Sabbath. The exer- cises began with a recital on Saturday evening, in which Mr. Roscoe Huff, of Williamsport, presided at the organ and Mrs. Blanche Derr Bubb, also of Williamsport, sang. The program as published in the COURIER last week was given without change and delighted the goodly num- ber of people who were present. Mr. Huff, though he had never played an Austin organ, and was prevented from becoming familiar with it during the afternoon, on account of a condition no one could control, was perfectly at home on the new instrument. The range and variety of pieces played served to show the sweetness and power of the new organ. Mrs. Bubb performed her part of the program most acceptably. The organ, which is the gitt of the family of the late Senator Patton, was | made by the Austin Organ Co., of Hartford, Conn. It contains about 600 pipes and is constructed on a new and PATTON, CAMBRIA CO., PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1905. SEVEN YEARS IN THE PEN! Was the Sentence Meted Out to Mays. LESS THAN MAXIMUM By One Year Because He Pleaded Guilty— Fellows Again Found Guilty of Killing His Wite—Other Court News ot Interest to People ot This Section. Judge O'Connor last Thursday ended his consideration of the sensatjonal Fulford-Fulford habeas corpus pro- ceedings by handing down an order discharging Barbara Fulford, aged eleven years, from the technical cus- tody of the sheriff, remanding her to her mother’s care and dissolving the writ at the expense of the petitioner, George M. Fulford, a Clearfleld attor- ney. The court's order disposes of a case of domestic trouble which broke into Cambria county from Clearfleld on one side and Philadelphia on the other, when Mrs. Olive Lemon Fulford, wife of the petitioner came to Cresson from the Quaker City for her accustomed summer vacation. Mrs. Fulford is the daughter of the late State Senator John Lemon, of Hol- | WAS PATTON EASY MARK? Well, Just Ask Barnesboro Sure Thing Gamblers. SCHEME THAT FAILED. A Base Ball Game That Was Expected to Fleece Patton Sports Out of Considerable Hard Coin—Local Wagerers, However, Refused to Bite, Barnesboro sports, aided and abetted by three of the St. Boniface base ball players, came to Patton last Saturday the sporting fraternity of this place, who they thought might be willing to wager a little coin on the outcome of the base ball game between Barnes- boro and Boniface. In this they were badly fooled, as the Pattonites had information before hand that the game was ‘‘queered”’ and positively refused to wager a single bone. The result is that the Barnesboro sports are out the $45 they gave the trio of Boniface players to throw the game, and the trio aforesaid are in a very penitent mood, as the bulk of the money they received was wagered on the game yesterday, and they lost. The game up to the seventh inning with the avowed purpose of fleecing | improved plan for which they hold the patent. Briefly stated the plan provides that every pipe shall have separate and di- | rect connection with the air chest in | the heart of the organ, guaranteeing to | each pipe uniform air pressure and quick response to the touch of a key.

The testimony was virtually the same as at the previous Its simplicity is its beauty. The in- | { trial scription plate is a tasteful and appro- | priate production in bronze and bears the words: ! “In Memoriam ALEXANDER ENNIS PATTON 1852-1904 Presented By His Family.”’ How beautiful it is to live such a life, and be such a man, that one’s friends find joy in erecting such memorials ! On Sabbath morning the Rev. Dr. B. H. Mossér, of Curwensville, preached on the text, *‘I have kept the faith,” in which he pictured most beautifully the aged apostle near the end of his life making use of these words. To put his three points in homely phrase they would read as follows: 1. This faith is good to live by. 2. This faith is good to die by. 3. Since this faith is such a boon, what a pity to lose such a faith. One of the touching and telling illus- trations was a most tender description of the last hours of Mr. McKinley. Dr. Mosser’s mind runs to the beautiful and the tender, and his sermon was just such an ohe as one would expect. We shall be glad to hear him again. In the afternoon, the Sabbath school met in the auditorium and listened to addresses by the visiting ministers. This service gave the children an op- portunity to see and hear the organ. In the evening, Dr. Eveland, presi- dent of Williamsport Dickinson semi- nary, preached, basing his remarks on the wonderful prayer of Paul in the the third chapter of Ephesians. It was a strong and forceful exposition of that remarkable prayer and was delivered with much unction. Dr. Eveland will find a welcome whenever his path shall lead him to Patton. The music during the day was a de- light. Mr. Huff presided at the organ Charles Mays, the Glasgow man who attempted to assault Mrs. Jacob Smith- bower on the public road two miles | from Patton, was brought into court Saturday morning and pleaded guilty to the charges of felonious assault and assault and battery with intent. The maximum sentence for the two offenses | would be eight years. Mays was thrown into jail after the grand jury for the September term had adjourned, and had he demanded a trial he would have cost the county a board bill until De- cember. In view of this, Judge O’- Connor charged off one of the eight to his pleading guilty, giving him seven years in the Western penitentiary. William Edwards, alias ‘Billy the Bum,” who accompanied Mays on his | trip to Patton, was discharged from custody. Edwards did not take part in May’s atrociousness,being content with standing by the buggy at the Nagle school house. Peter McHugh will do nine months, | besides paying the costs and $25 fine, for stealing Mrs. Lawrence Cullen’s watch and selling it to a pawn broker at Philipsburg. Carl Olson, a former Patton stone cutter, now residing in Erie,” was awarded a verdict for wages in his suit against A. K. Huber. MEETS QUEER ACCIDENT.

The Barnesboro sports would not stand for the free admission clause, however, but after considerable back talk compromised by taking up a col- lection—presumably for sports who bet on sure things that don’t pan out. | As for the game itself, it was a good contest and close and exciting. Boni- face led out in the first and made three scores. They made two more in the remaining eight innings and would have probably won bad their pitcher been in condition to finish the game.

Result of Coroner's Inquest at Cresson. CULPRIT NOT KNOWN. All the Indications Point to Foul Play and the Jury Brought in a Verdict to That Effect—What the Testimony ot she Rall roaders Brought Out. The coroner’s inquest held at OCres- son last Friday to ascertain the man- ner in which Morgan Hertzog met his death resulted in the jurymen return- ing a verdict fixing the responsibility of the young railroader’s death on S0me person or persons unknown. Every feature of the evidence seems to indicate that the young man was murdered. P. F. Lockard, conductor on extra freight train Noe. 1839, going west; F. A. Davis, engineer in charge of the locomotive of the train; Harry Kaylor, trainmaster at Cresson, and Eugene Glass, another railroad em- ploye, were the witnesses. Conductor Lockard testified as to the finding of the headless body on the tracks,stating that it would have been impossible for Hertzog to have met his death while asleep in the manner in which the body was found. When the body was discovered by Mr. Lockard, he stated, its position was that of one who had been laid carefully upon the tracks. There was no indi- cation that the remains had been rolled or moved about in the slightest manner as would have been the case had the victim been asleep. The head had been thrown back over the rail, where it had apparently rested undisturbed until the train passed over it. The lanterns | carried by Hertzog also indicated that a struggle had taken place, one of them | being found at a distance, battered and | ' the body, together with a blood-stained | shirt found in the bushes some distance | up the tracks, also seemed to relate a tale of foul play to the six jurorsim- | paneled. | | | TRANSACTIONS IN REALTY.
