Tribulations of a Colored Brother. Punxsutawney, Pa. o. LONG BROS. ™ CORSETS Work was commenced on the brick work on the new Jefferson Hotel on Tuesday morning of this week. The corner-stone was laid last week. P. J. Allgeier and a few friends met and deposited some souvenirs and data relative to the old and the new houses. The stone was then sealed and Mr. Allgeier and his friends adjourned to a suitable place where the occasion was fittingly celebrated. C. Benscoter, Esq., returned on Monday from a month's trip to the west, during which time he visited San Francisco and many important points in that vicinity, most of his time being spent in Los Angeles. Among those who attended the treasurer's sales on Mondav were Attorneys M. M. Havis and <i. M. McIUinald, of Keynoldsville; J.G. Wingert.of Punxsutawney, and Hon. .1. P. Taylor and I'r. R. M. Boyles, of Falls Creek. These gentlemen each bought several pieces of land. H, K. Twyfori] lias leased from W. .1. Shaffer part <>f the Paul Darling Memorial Home, whi le he can be convenient to the automobile works, the construction of wliicb is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Mr. Twyford is general manager of the new company and is much interested in the building of a tirst-class establishment. County Treasurer J. B. Mean* held his first sales on Monday morning. Quite a crowd was in attendance. The unseated list was the smallest on record in Brookville, only 19 pieces being sold. The •eated list waa considerably larger. Tbe bidding was the most spirited ever witnessed at a treasurer's sale in Brook ville. A number of pieces were held over and will be sold at an adjourned sale on June 28, at 10 a. m. The man Bernard Gorman, who was shot at Kails Creek a couple of weeks ago by Rev. H. T. Chinfiolm, is still holding on to life. It is plainly noticeble that he is much weaker than when brought to the county jail and it is evident that he is wasting away. His sister is still present and nursing him as faithfully as if he were not a wayward brother. A young n an named W. H. (iotwald, claiming Philadelphia as his residence, was committed to the county jail on Wednesday of last week on a charge of false pretense, made by Samuel A. Hun! ter, of the American 'Hotel. A couple ! of months ago the man came to Brook- I ville and took options on a number of J pieces of coal land in Knox township, | claiming that his father is the ow ner in j fee simple of 157 acres in that township. ! lie had a good address, told a plausible story, and on the strength of this secured the options on several pieces. He came to town on the.21st day of May and represented that he was just about closing the deal, but, for the time being, was a little short of funds. He induced Mr. Hunter to cash his check for $3.r<0 on the Johnsonburg National Bank. When the check was returned it was found that he never had an account w ith the bank. A warrant was issued and, when arrested, he stated that he had given the check bv advice of an uncle, who resides in Johnsonburg, promising to take care of the check when it came due. He failed to keep the promise, if made, and the young man got into trouble. He demanded a hearing, and, being unable to furnish bail, was committed to the county jail to aw ait a hearing at 3 p. m., June 15. PHOTOGRAPHS nicely finished, on mounts of newest design and best material is what we make for you Last Thursday night Chief of Police Palmer arrested a burlev negro as a suspicious character. After keeping him over night it was decided to let him go in the morning after a scare that would induce him to leave t:;wn in a hurry, liurgess Shields therefore instructed StreetCommissioner Jordan, in the negro's presence, to place a b ill an lchuin|on him and put him to work on the streets. Mr. Jordan took charge of the prisoner, ostensibly to put him to work on the streets, and alter getting him out of sight of the ollicers informed him that be would give him a chance to make his escape, and that he should make good use of nisopportunity. Which he did. The colored brother was making hasty strides for tall timber when Policeman Wall, seeing the negro acting as though be were in a great hurry to lose himself, and having a warrant in his pocket for a negro, thought this might be his man, and accordingly went in pursuit. After t'lasing him for half a mile Policeman Wall Anally took a near cut and headed the man off. With revolver in hand Wall ordered him to stop. After searching hira and finding nothing of value on his person and satisfying himself that this was not the colon ' man he was looking for, Officer Wall told him to be off, and he lost no time in obeying the injunction.
