The press of holiday advertising matter makes it necessary for us to enlarge the Bulletin this weck, and it is quite likely that until January we will have six pages instead of four. We call attention to the large advertisements. For the first time in Mount Joy journalism, a full page is used by a local adver- tiser, Dr. E. W. Garber. Yoffe & Gaftin Bros. have a half page and H. E. Ebersole and Bowman Bros. also haye large ads. Several other large spaces are taken for next week. Last year Dr. Garber used a quarter page ad, and since he has quadrupled his space this year with- out solicitation oun our part, it is extremely gratifying to us. The people realize that this paper has the circulation, and that the line that crosses the front page under the date line each week is not an idle boast. Monuments Erected. Last week James Glatfelter erect- ed on the Mary A. Herr lot in the Mount Joy cemetery, a beautiful Red Scotch granite monument, the combined weight of which was over seven tons. The upper three parts and markers of this granite, were imported from Aberdeen, Scotland. That place is known the world over for the production of pretty red granite, true in color. He also erected a beautiful Dark Quinsy granite monument of odd and sub- stantial design on the lot of the Miller and Brinton families and a Dark Quinsy granite monument weighing five tons erected nearby for Henry H. Landis, deceased. It is not only a credit to the Mount Joy Granite and Marble Works but is a credit to the Cemetery Associ- ation’s grounds as well. a as Died in the West. B.

THAT MURDER CASE. Siegel Was Before Court at Lancaster, Saturday. Louis Siegel, an old man, and an inmate of the county almshouse, charged with the murder of Isaac Stigler, was heard before Judge Landis oa a writ of habeas corpus Saturday morning. The accused was committed for trial by Justice F. A. Ricker, of this place and W. C. Rehm, counsel for Siegel, com- plained that the man was heard and committed and not given opportunity to consult counsel. The court decided to hear the case, and counsel for the prison- er called the same witnesses that were heard by Justice Ricker. Earl Shellenberger testified that he was 20 years old anda resident of Mt, Joy borough. He knew Siegel, and six wecks after the mur- der he and Cyrus Stoner were at the hut of Siegel. When they approach. ed his hut Siegel raid to them: ¢I am the man that shot Isaac Stigler.” Siegel spoke in broken English, Witness could only speak German slightly and understood only a little of that language. Counsel endeav- ored to have him say that Siegel said ; an “I am the man that was ac- cused of shooting Stigler,” but the witness insisted that he said: ¢I am the man that shot Stigler.” He said he told his father of the decla- ration after reaching home that day. After Siegel made that declaration he asked witness for. $1, but he told him he did not have it. Cyrus Stoner testified that he was 20 years old, and was with Shellen- berger when Siegel made the decla. ration that ‘‘He was the man who shot Stigler.” He repeated the dec laration, and then asked Shc:llenber- ger for a dollar. He told of the conversation at his home the same day, and told other persons at diff- erent times, Counsel called C. H. Obreiter, an expert on firearms, to show that the bullet could not have been fired from the pistol found in Siegel’s house the day after the murder, The court declined to hear the testimony, and ruled that sufficient testimony was presented to warrant the case being returned to court. It was not for the court to say whet her the testimony of these two witnesscs as to Siegel's declarations would be believed by the jury. The court remanded Siegel to jail for trial at the next term of court. - Notes Along the P. R. R. A few days ago a little incident occurred at the waiting room at the south track of the P.
