The men went by truck to Noxen about a week ago and, leaving the truck at Baker's Farm, moved on in search of berries. At the end of the day the group was unable to retrace its steps to the spot where the truck had been left and Samuel Vincent of Wyoming was chosen to lead the Jarty. ‘While searching for a way out, the Wyoming party met four Edwardsville men who also had lost their way. The group followed a stream for about eight miles until a stream blocked their way. Darkness had fallen so they stopped to sleep. When daylight came, the men found an abandoned lumber trail and follow- ed it, eating berries for food. After eighteen hours, the party reached the Falls at Mehoopany Creek and followed that creek until they reached a cabin occupied by a Mr. Clark of Kingston, who gave the men food and directed them. Farmers at Forkston estimated the lost expedition had traveled 45 miles. Mr. Vincent said the party saw two large bears, bear dens and many rat- tlesnakes. He killed two rattlesnakes, one with 14 rattles and a button, the other with 12 rattles and a button.

We cannot look to the County Commis- sioner’s office to collect our taxes. They have no power to collect a Township tax. We were so advised by the Com missioners and their attorney.
