They heard the approach of the train, and all managed to get out of harm's way except Oerella. Whether he was still on the car or fell from it to the tracks is not known.

The victim was Jay Cowa.il, who, after the assault, lay in the Punxsutawney Hospital in a critical condition for several days.

"Well, Judge, a fellow can't swim When his hands are tied!" Jones must not only pay the freight, so to speak, but has a maximum term of 30 years in the pen to serve. When the court, perfunctorily, asked Jones if he had anything to say Why sentence should pot be passed, the prisoner replied: On the first count of the indictment, Jones was sentenced to pay the costs, $1,000 fine and serve not less than 6, or more than 24, years in the Western* Penitentiary. On the second count, larceny, he was sentenced to pay the costs, p-ay a fine of $300, return the property, and serve not less than I 1-2 years, or more than 6 years in the pen.- Jones, it will be remembered, entered the home of J.

Later he appeared at the Brookvllle Pair, urrayed in a black suit which he had stolen, whereupon he was pinched. One of the most interesting cases during the term was that of the Commonwealth vs. J. B. Jones, who was charged with breaking and entering a dwelling, larceny and receiving stolen goods. Judge Wilson, of Clarion, who presided on account of Judge Reed's enforced absence, made a splendid impression in the mutter of rulings and general conduct of the court, and Jesse C.

A gloomy outlook is before the small boy and his little sister who already are conjuring up visions of Thanksgiving parties and pudding* in which eggs play the le-ading role.' ICggs are even scarcer than turkeys. One dealer likened handling eggs to handling gold dollars at their present rate of 40 cent*.

Rabbits alt-o are plentiful and comparatively cheap. If the weather is cold, 50 cents a pair will be the probable price, and in any event dealers do not expect theni to reach a higher 'mark than 60 cents a pair. Turkey eaters this year will be asked to pay 3 cents more a. pound than lust season, and 25 cents for live weight and from 28 to 30 cents dressed will be the prices asked.
