KILLED WHILE
IN THE DISCHARGE
OF HIS DUTY
Was the Fate T.hat Befell Po-liceman
Denver Braden Pore
SHOT DOWN BY ANDREW LINDSAY
WHOM HE ATTEMPTED TO ARREST
LAST THURSDAY.
The Murderer, Who Apparently Was
DetermlnedtoTake Life Rather than
he Made a Prisoner for Disorderly
Conduct, Escaped In the Excitement
Following the Terrible Crime With
His Companion, Thomas Wilson.
D. B. Pore, who won badge No. 1 on
the local police force, was shot last
Thursday night about 10:30 o clsck at
the corner of Main and Eagle streets by
Andrew Lindsay, Jr., and died from the
effect of the terrible wound at the hos-pital
a few minutes after 8 o'clock Satur-day
morning. In substance the story of
eye witnesses of the tragedy is this:
Young Lindsay and his chum, Thomas
Wilson, a son of Robert Wilson, of Par-fittown,
an old employe at the Frick
company’s Morewood coke plant, were
together drinking the early part of the
evening. They visited the skating rink
where the former is said to have threat-ened
to shoot out the 1 ights. Wlien that
place of amusement closed at 10 o’clock
they left and had reached Eagle street
where Lindsay tried to get Wilson to go
back down town, saying he would kill
anyone who might attempt to arrest
them. A bullet fired in the air from his
pistol broke a second story window in
the residence of Abram Ruff, just across
Main street, where the dead body of the
owner lay awaiting burial.
Officer Pore, who had his attention
called by the shot, jumped on a street
car and rode past the corner a short dis-tance
before he got oft. He then ap-proached
the two young men under
cover of his hoisted umbrella. He
grabbed Lindsay, who still had his re-volver
in his right hand, ordering him
to drop the weapon. The young police-man
used his mace over Lindsay s head
while still holding on to Lindsay's right
arm. Lindsay fired two shots in the
struggle. The first passed harmlessly to
the ground, but the second went directly
into the officer’s abdomen. The bullet
punctured the intestines nine times before
it bored through the pelvic bone and
lodged in the hip. Poor “Brade," fatally
wounded, staggered back, crying: “Help I
I’m shot!” Lindsay and Wilsonian on
down Eagle street.
Dr. F. L. Marsh, who was at the time
in the Foust store, on the opposite cor-ner,
and David Swartz helped the
wounded officer to the former’s office,
only a few steps away, and as soon as
that physician saw where the wound
was he had the sufferer removed to the
hospital where he and his son, Dr. W. A.
Marsh, performed an operation within
an hour after the sliooting occurred.
The patient, while weak from tlie loss
of blood, stood the operation well. From
a surgical standpoint the chances favor-ed
recovery; but medical science could
not supply the lost vitality and the
weakness grew as the hours came until
the brave young heart ceased to beat.
Following a postmortem examination
at the hospital Saturday afternoon by
Dr. H. A, McMurray, of Youngwood,
acting for Coroner Wynn, the body was
removed to Undertaker Zimmerman’s
and then taken Sunday morning to the
darkened Smithfield street home where
the young widow and her two fatherless
babes awaited its coming.
The remains were taken to the Church
of God Monday afternoon when the pas-tor,
Rev. Dr. S. G. Yahn, assisted by
Rev. John K. Howe, the Methodist Epis-copal
divine, conducted the impressive
' funeral service in the presence of a
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends that filled both the main and
Sunday school rooms. The handsome
floral offerings were from Council and
the employes of this division of the
West Penn Railways Company, on which
the dead officer was formerly a motor-man,
The interment followed in the
-cemetery.
Coroner Wynn held the inquest at the
Gibbs & King undertaking rooms Tues-day
morning when the testimony taken
was practically the story given above,
except to whether or not Officer Pore
used his mace before the first shot was
fired at him. Several of the eye witnesses
said that Lindsay was struck before he
shot at the policeman, white others were
positive the two blows from the mace
came between the shots. The latter
statement seems to be correct as the
wounded officer, in the course of an ex-planation
given Dr. W. A. Marsh at the
hospital Friday morning, said:
“I did not strike Lindsay until after
he shot at me, nor would he have shot
me at all, had I known lie had liis pistol
in his hand. I thonglit he had put tlie
weapon back in his pocket after the sliot
in tlie air as I was on the crossing.”
The following is tlie verdict returned
by the jury:
”D. Braden Pore, of Mount Pleasant,
aged 26, came to his death on the 7th
day of April, 1906, at Mount Pleasant,
Westmoreland county, from a bullet
wound inflicted by Andrew Lindsay,
Jr., on April 5th with felonious intent,
the said Andrew Lindsay having been
arrested by D. Braden Pore, an officer of
Mount Pleasant borough in uniform. We
recommend that all efforts be put forth
to apprehend the said Andrew Lindsay
and that he be charged with murder to
appear before the grand jury."
District Attorney Cunningham assisted
in the examination, wliile on the jury
were: Captain W. M. Jordan, Frank
Hurst, Barney King, Clark Walker, J. B.
Coldsmith and B. F. Gibbs.
Denver Braden Pore was a son of
George L. Pore, a prominent Mount
Pleasant township farmer and a former
auditor and jury commissioner of this
county. He was born May 1, 1880, and
was married some three years ago to
Miss Hattie Wakefield, a daughter of
Samuel Wakefield, of near town, who
survives with two infant daughters.
Besides his parents he leaves four broth-ers
and one sister. On retiring from tlie
street railway service he was elected a
member of the police force in March
last. An honSst, handsome young fellow,
a good husband, father and son, lie had
a host of friends who join with those
nearer and dearer to him in sorrow over
his untimely end.
Andrew Lindsay, Jr., is 22 years of
age and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew
Lindsay, Sr., who reside on Eagle street
with a number of other children and,
as they are respected Scotch people,
keenly feel the sorrow this awful act of
a wild boy has brought upon them. The
elder Mr. Lindsay is a faithful and
trusted employe at Rainey’s Acme coke
works. Young Andrew, when under the
influence of liquor, was of a quarrelsome
disposition. He, too, worked some time
ago on the haulage in the Acme mines,
but was discharged because of his failing.
Last summer he went west and was hurt
in a Colorado mine, his father sending
him money to get home. Following the
shooting, he ran to the house where,
after telling his father he had shot a
policeman, it is said he got another hat
and left by the back door. No trace
could be found of Wilson who, it seems,
did did nothing except run away with
Lindsay after the shooting.
There was intense excitement when
news of the tragedy was carried over
town. Mayor Crosby on reaching the
scene lost no time in sending posses out
to hunt down Lindsay and Wilson,
while the telephone lines soon apprised
neighboring towns of what proved to be
murder. Armed men were rushed by
trolley to Tarr where communication
was had with the Southwest railroad
officials at Youngwood whb at once be-gan
searching passing freight trains. The
Scottdale force, on which is "Red”
Nugent, formerly of this place, guarded
all lines south; in fact, there was a
cordon of man hunters practically
around the town in a very few hours
after the shooting occurred.
Council at once ordered a reward of
$250 for the arrest of Lindsay. Imme-diately
following the death of Policeman
Pore, Controller John D. Hitchman,
while at his home here, got in touch by
telephone with the commissioners at
Greensburg who increased the reward to
$500 and then it is said that the Pore
relatives had guaranteed $250 more.
Pictures of the two young men were se-cured
and copies sent broadcast, so that
the search soon became general.
There are rumors galore regarding the
whereabouts of Lindsay and Wilson, but
up until this morning they are still at
large and the hundreds of their hunters
all at sea.

THE MOUNT PLEASANT POLICEMAN WHO WAS
KILLED IN THE DISCHAEGE OF HIS DUTY.
COKE AND COAL.
Items of Interest authored From Both
Mine and Yard.
The coke business continues on an
even keel.
The LaBelle Coke Company secured
title in the Fayette county courts to
about 20 acres of coal in Luzerne town-ship,
near Brownsville. It was held by
Jeremiah Smith, colored, who claims it
under mining rights bought by his an-cestors.
The court may reverse the
verdict returned by the jury.
The Irwin coal field operators Monday
night received requests from the union
scale committee to meet it at Greensburg
today to discuss the scale adopted by
the delegate convention at Irwin last
Tuesday. This scale calls for five cents
a ton more than the 1903 scale, propor-tional
advances for all other work and
an eight-hour day. The operators say
they will not meet this committee.
Operations were resumed Monday at
Edna Nos. 1 and 2 coal plants near Ad-amsburg
and at the Yough and Penn
shafts. These were mines where the or-ganizers
have been making their greatest
efforts to unionize the men. There was
not a striker in sight Monday morning
when the whistle blew and the operators
say they will have no more trouble with
strikers. The deputies are still on guard.
There is much rejoicing in the Mey-ersdale
region over the action of the coal
companies in giving that field's 5,000
miners a voluntary raise of five cents a
ton.
Wilbert M. Downer has brought suit
in the Fayette county courts against the
United Coal Company for injuries al-leged
to have been received in an ex-plosion
in that company's mine on March
9, 1905. He wants $10,000, claiming to
have been seriously injured.
A Little Mistake.
In the David W. Fox big but truthful
snake stories, recently published in
these columns, a little mistake was made
in regard to the disposition of one be-longing
to his brother, John W. Fox, who
explains that he sent it to H. A. Surface,
M. S. C., economic zoologist at Harris-burg.
The grateful recipient, in acknowl-edging
the gift, under date of August 5,
1905, gave it the name of the “Pennsyl-vania
Horned Snake" and put Mr. Fox’s
name on the free “Reptile Book" list.

LOCAL SEQUEL
TO A PITTSBURG
KIDNAPING CASE
That is Put in an Entirely
Different Light Thereby.
HOW WILLIE CAMPBELL WAS GOT
AND BROUGHT BACK TO MOUNT
PLEASANT BY HIS FATHER.
He Was Enticed to the City by Hie
Mother Who Is Now Living: There
With Frank Musgrrove, of Considera-ble
Local Notoriety, and His Father,
With the Help of Constable Jack
Thompson, Finds the Lad and Brings
Him Home After an Exciting Expe-rience.
According to stories told in Pittsburg
papers, Patrick Campbell and John G.
Thompson, both of this place, are kid-napers,
despite the fact that the former
is a hard working, honest Irishman, and
the latter a constable for the Second
ward.
The Pittsburg end of the story was
three men, two of them supposed to be
Greensburg detectives, on last Thursday
afternoon they visited Brushton where
on Oakwood street they took William,
the 15-year-old son of Mr. Campbell who
was there with his mother going to
school, and carried him off by force.
The local sequel, however, puts an en-tirely
different light on the case.
Mrs. Campbell, who served a term for
illegal liquor selling here and was ar-rested
upon several other occasions for
lewdness, left her husband and family
some time ago and went to Brushton
where she is said to be living as the
wife of Frank Musgrove, a notorious
character who formerly lived at Laurel-ville
and who served a workhouse sen-tence
for having stolen cattle from
William A. Hunter, a well known citi-zen
of Mount Pleasant township.
Learning that the boy was selling pa-pers
instead of going to school, Mr.
Campbell determined to bring him home
and did so with the help of Constable
Thompson Thursday evening, although
they had a real exciting time. They
went down on the morning train and
reached the vicinity of the Musgrove-
Campbell flat about 10 o’clock.
From another little boy they learned
that Willie was out on his paper route,
although they had not been waiting long
when he returned and kicked up a fuss
when his father explained the nature of
his errand. Finding that moral suasion
wouldn't bring the answer, the two men
grabbed the youngster and started for a
street car.
Then William, who is a husky lad, got
real busy as a kicker and Pat and Jack
had all they could do to hang on. At
one time it looked as if William would
win out as he had both his captors down
on the street. But weight proved too
much for youth and the breathless bunch
was literally pushed on to a car by the
conductor.
Mrs. Campbell soon got wind of what
was going on and broke for Wilkinsburg
to head tlie party oft. She failed to ac-complish
anything as the trio went on
into Pittsburg on the trolley and took
the noon train for Mount Pleasant where
they arrived without any further inter-ference.
MURDER AT EDNA NO. I.
A Hungarian Coal Striker There Shot
From Ambush.
Murder was done Friday night at the
Edna No. 1 plant of the Baltimore and
Pittsburg Coal Company, near Adams-burg.
While going from his home to an
outbuilding John Wessel, a Hungarian,
aged 40 years who leaves a wife and four
children, was shot from ambush. A
bullet from a 38-caliber revolver passed
through his body and he died in about
two minutes.
Wessel was a striker and had not
worked since the men went out. It is
alleged that he had weakened and that
he had promised the superintendent of
the works to go in the next morning.
The Annual St. Joseph Carnival.
The people of St. Joseph's church will

HERO’S WIDOW FOUND.
An Item in The Journal Locates Her Near
Indian Head.
INDIAN HEAD, PA., April 7. 1906.
ED. JOURNAL, Sir:—I notice by THE
JOURNAL they are trying to locate Mrs.
Nettie Stutchel in connection with the
Carnegie Hero Fund. If they would
address a letter to her at Indian Head,
Pa., it would reach her. If they want to
see her they could drive to either Don-egal
or Jones Mills and inquire for John
Tinkey, her father. Most any person
there can tell them where to find her.
She is staying at home with her father.

DASTARDLY
DEEDS
Charged Up Against Two Italians Arrested
and Now in Jail at Greensburg.
ATTEMPTS TO WRECTPT A, A, TRIMS,
John Delalo, an Italian, of Ludwick, was arrested last Wednesday
charged with having attempted to wreck Pennsylvania railroad passenger
trains at the tower east of Greensburg on the nights of March 16 and 17,
The arrest was made by Pennsylvania railroad detective who found Delalo
armed.
James Stacia, also under arrest for the same offense, is said to have told
the officers that the reason he and Delalo attempted to wreck the trains was
that they wanted to have the division foreman and trackwalker discharged by
the railroad.
Mrs. Jennie Massala says that Delalo told her of the plan to wreck the
trains. The woman claims that Delalo wanted her to leave her family and
go with him, and that he threatened her with death if she revealed his plans.
She had been an artist in black and
white while on one of the daily news-papers
with a strong leaning to colors,
and ‘'lie” was an editor. So his part-ing
request did not seem strange to
her. She was to draw that tine fat
duck that lay before her. She would
and even admired the aesthetic taste
of her dear “old sugar.” The duek
t lone had a sort of waxy look, so she
made an artistic group of a bed of cel-ery
flanked by some carrots and red
apples to adil to the color scheme.
When they were arranged to her taste
she brought her drawing hoard and
sat down contentedly to draw the
duck. She just washed in the colors
to be finished at leisure later, hut
made a careful study of that duck and
succeeded in getting a very good
sketch of it in all Its fatness.
As she surveyed the work of art she
felt very well satisfied. It was a regu-lar
“duck” of a duck.
She had everything else prepared—
her vegetables on the range, her salad
nil made nhd in the icebox. They were
to have fruit cake and ice cream for
dessert. At each plate stood a tiny
floss chicken pecking at a colored egg.
Could anything he sweeter? And the
tall glass in the center of the table
held a bunch of jonquils. And, oh, how
happy she was! She had looked in the
cookbook, and it said that exactly
twenty minutes were required to roast
the duck to a turn.
The man with the oysters disturbed
her at her drawing, hut she hurriedly
sketched in all the salient features of
her picture before the fateful twenty
minutes, when the duck should he
placed in the oven. She salted and
peppered it and lighted the gas. Then
she set the fat and interesting duck in
tlie oven and left it for twenty min-utes.
Everything else was progressing
finely and in five minutes it was really
quite hot.
So she left the duck to its fate and
went to add a few finishing touches to
her toilet and a last one to the pretty
table. Then her dearly beloved came
with Ids friend. After the presentation
Alfred asked:
“Is dinner nearly ready, dearest?”
Lizzie looked at the clock. Yes; it
was fifteen minutes since she had put
the duck in the oven, so by the time
they had finished their soup and oys-ters
the duck would lie iust right. She
,AY, dearest, don'l
forget to draw
the duck!” call-ed
handsome Al-f
fred Lawton ns
he was halfway
down the stairs.
His bride of a
month Imd left
the door of their
huudhox of a
flat open while
she hung fondly
over the balus-ters,
as she al-ways
did to see
the last of her blessed one, her “old
sugar.”
Lizzie heard the retreating footsteps
down tlie long hall, the very striking
of the umbrella against the wall send-ing
happy little thrills through her.
She sighed heavily ns she returned to
the dainty little flat. Was not her
dearest anil best gone, not to return
until 3 o’clock?
He was to bring an old friend with
hhn to dinner. She had not cared to
leave her dear little flat, her paradise,
rather, even for church, and Alfred
hud decided that he was signally bless-ed
in having such an angel for a bride,
one not given to Haunting shows, even
on such a day, when all other women
were showing themselves off in their
new gowns and hats. He was the hap-piest
and most fortunate man In all
creation. And now Jim, dear old Jim,
his chum and lifelong friend, should
have a taste of feiicity in seeing their
home and making the acquaintance of
the incomparable Lizzie, the one wom-an
in the whole world.
Lizzie fairly flew about the little
place, putting dainty touches here und
mere anil making tlie tiny dining room
look too sweet for anything, as she said.
Then into the kitchen went the brave
little soul to wrestle with pots and
pans and the cooking of that wonder-ful
dinner.
wouiu turn on me gas.
“Yes, I think so. I will see,” an-swered
the anxious lady.
Just then the ice cream cnme, and
Alfred took it from the dumb waiter
with the air of one who had enterfuin-eu
menus ui uiimer tor at least tliVj
years.
They sat down to their soup and then
had their oysters. Lizzie's cheeks were
the loveliest pink as she placed the
pretty vegetable dishes on the table
mid the salad howl on the sideboard.
Oh, it was grnml to lie married uud
have a home and guests to dinner!
She brought in the duek.
It did not look just like other roast
ducks that she laid seen, but the book
had said twenty minutes.
Alfred took tlie carving knife and
started to carve tlie duck. He thought
there was something wrong with it,
but lie dissembled. With a grand air
he said he had always liked ducks.
The flavor was excellent. He made
another attack, but his knife made no
impression on the fowl. He sharpened
tire knife, aiifl yet the duck refused to
he carved. It seemed to have the re-sistance
of rubber, and he finally re-marked:
“I am afraid the duck Is not done.”
“I cooked It twenty minutes,” re-plied
dearest, looking worried.
At this moment the knife penetrated
the upper portion of (lie duck’s breast
and an avalanche of whole corn rattled
down on the platter. Alfred looked so
tragic that Lizzie began to tremble and
turn pale. He said finally:
"Take it away. I told you to draw
the duck the last tiling ns I went out,
und you didn’t do it.”
“I did too.” sobbed Lizzie, with the
napkin to her eyes. “1 did, now.”
Saying this she handed her mortified
husband the drawing she had made.
She still sobbed disconsolately, while
Alfred handed the drawing to Jim, and
each let out a roar of laughter that
could have been heard a block.
I'oor Lizzie continued to weep.
“Oli. Mrs. Lawton, don’t. There is
plenty else, and, besides, Alf, It was
die butcher’s business to do this," Jim
said consolingly.
“I'll—I'll discharge that butcher. Nev-er
mind, dearest. It wasn’t your fault.
Mistakes occur to any one, and—ah—
haven’t you got something else?”
“1—1 could make an omelet," said
Lizzie, wiping her pretty eyes.
“Well, do. and we’ll chat while you
are doing it.”

her, and so many tears fell that she

Surgery Triumphant DR. SLASH performed a famous op-eration
On a stout and wealthy patient
who was ill
And received the universal admiration
Of the medical profession for his skill.
He laid the patient out (he loved to do it)
And said: “Although the malady is hid,
’Tis an interesting case. I’ll look into it."
So he opened up the patient, and he did.
Beginning with a vertical incision,
He neatly drew the floating ribs apart,
Then made a careful cardiac division
And sewed a patch of canvas on the
heart.
Finding nothing here that merited atten-tion,
Around the lungs he cut a graceful
curve.
And as a Spartan measure of prevention
He tied a bunch of tissue with a nerve.
Then on the patient's brain he operated—
*A further fine example of his pluck—
And his very modern methods demon-strated
By removing the appendix, just for
luck.
With practiced haste he sewed the man
together.
Two weeks passed by—two weeks of
anxious guess,
While the world of science cogitated
whether
They could call the operation a success.
Then Dr. Slash performed the amputation
Of a generous ten tnousand dollar fee.
They said, “A most courageous operation,
And successful to a marvelous degree!"

The clothing that’s copied by the
best merchant tailors—more swag-ger
style—more high-class tone than
any other ready-to-wear clothing on
the market. We would like to
show you the new long cut, slightly
body fitting “H., S. & M.” sack
coat for this spring.
Suits.
This spring the three-button sin-gle-
breasted sack suit represents keener style,
broader development and more attractive form than
for probably a decade or more. The length is ex-treme,
yet decidedly pleasing—the flare is novel and
a mixture of military and civilian ideas. The
shoulders slope gradually, collar is sharp and snug
and the garment, as a whole, much to our liking.
The boys’ and children’s display this season is
characterized by count-less
innovations. Ar-tistic
designers have
vied with one another
in the production of
new and novel effects, and we have thought enough of their
ideas to include them all in our stock.
There are lots of good shoes made, but for all-round merit
nothing can compare with
(rairfurd ^hoes
We made up our mind to this fact long ago, and are daily
convincing many of its truth. •

SUICIDE
Dead Body of J. W. Vankirk, of West
Newton, Found in Room at Brother’s
Home at Niagara.
PISTOL BULLET PUT^THROUGH HIS HEART.
It is believed that suicide at Niagara Falls was the fate of J. W. Vankirk,
a well known citizen of West Newton, who went to that resort some six weeks
ago and was stopping at the home of his brother, W. A. Vankirk. Last
Monday afternoon he went to his room to write a letter home to his sister at
West Newton and to change his apparel.
He did not come down stairs for some time and an investigation showed
that he was dead, having shot himself through the heart with a revolver.
When discovered the weapon was found partly open, as if he had been clean-ing
it. Some think the shooting was accidental. He leaves a wife and six
children, and he was 58 years old.

i IIIT symbolism of
Easter, supreme
among Christian
festivals ns It in-disputably
Is, is
s o Interwoven
with the mysti-cism
of pagan-ism
that It Is
practically im-possible
to tlx
definitely upon
the origin of
some of the leg-
,endary observ-fff'
v unces wb I ch
^ have become
common property. Tin1 genesis of the
Easter rabbit, for instance, is Involved
in much obscurity. It Is known that
the rodent was used for sacrificial pur-poses
long before the foundation of
Christianity, and also that it was an
animal sacred to Eastre, goddess of
light, from whose name our term Eas-ter
is supposed to be derived.
How the rabbit became the custo-dian
of the nest of gayly colored Eas-ter
eggs is no mystery to the German
toymnker. Each district has its own
popular variant. Baden's legend is as
follows:
In the mountains overlooking Frei-burg
early in the twelfth century there
was an abbey of Benedictines who
dominated the spiritual affairs of the
entire countryside. At the abbey
church the Easter festival was always
celebrated with marked splendor, and
it was visited on those occasions by
the devout from all Germany. One of
tho chief attractions of the great feast
was a series of religious tableaux rep-resenting
the leading events in the
every cnicKeu neiongmg to tne annoy.
They have, lu fact, eaten every chicken
In the country, and there Isn't an egg
to be bad for love or money.”
“Then why haven’t you seen to it
that we were rid of the pests?” the
abbot asked severely.
“Because your lordship has ordained
that no living tiling which is mention-ed
with respect in the sacred Scrip-tures
shall be hurt, and the fox Is men-tioned
therein and almost always re-spectfully,”
Father Boniface reminded
him.
The Benedictine smiled faintly. “The
fox is a sly sinner, hut he should not
be permitted lo outwit a community
living under the rule of the Idessed
Benedict,” lie said dryly. “In the good
old days, my brother, yon would have
gone directly to heaven with your
plaint and not to your abbot.”
The young monk betook himself
to th(> chapel and passed tho night
in vigil At early dawn he arose from
his aching knees and sought the nest
which he had left empty. As he ap-proached
n snow white rabbit leaped
from the nest, and the delighted monk
saw that oneo again in the history of
holy tilings the sly old fox had been
outmatched, for the nest was filled
with eggs more splendid in their hues
than Ids feeble art had ever been able
to provide.
IF@ir Tw©
SIIE stood in the doorway, a frown
wrinkling her pretty forehead
and something of tragedy in her
voice and gesture,
“I can't go,” slie declared, in evident
disappointment.
“Can’t go, Elizabeth?” lie repeated,
in perplexity. "You're not ill. What off
earth has happened?”
“My hat”— she begun and stopped
abruptly.
“Well?” he queried.
“Didn’t come,” said she.
“Horrors!” he exclaimed. He pulled
aside the curtains anil looked out on
an ideal Easter morning. "Horrors!”
ho repented, while the ghost of a
smile relaxed his firm mouth.
“It’s no laughing matter,” said the
girl, with some warmth.
“I know,” he said contritely. “Of
Scriptural account of the resurrection,
and preliminary to this was given n
sort of object lesson In the meaning of
the mysterious process. In the course
of this latter feature a huge nest of
beautifully colored eggs—which are
symbolic of the resurrection—was the
deus ex machina.
On the afternoon of Holy Saturday
Father Boniface, the young monk who
had charge of this important duty,
craved an audience with the abbot of
the foundation. .
“Alas, my lord,” said the yo>ung
monk dejectedly,, "the foxes have eaten
.. ....... uaieui you anotner
hat?”
The girl glanced at him scornfully.
“Perhaps you’d like me to wear a
winter hat,” she said.
“Exactly.” he said calmly. “I cer-tainly
would. It will be a tremendous
service at the Church of the Apostles.
Meuont is to sing, and there’s to be a
string quartet from the Symphony."
“You don’t imagine,” said she, in
amazement, “that I’d go to the Church
of the Apostles Euster Sunday wearing
my winter hat, do you?”
He. smiled natlentiv.
"1 cont'ess I had no proper realization
ot the enormity of such mi act,” said
he. “Would they put you out?”
The girl shrugged her shoulders In a
quaint little gesture of despair,
“That’s tlie man of It,” she said. “Of
course I can't hope to make you under-stand,
but the simple fact remains that
I can't go.”
“All right.” he said cheerfully, and
lie resumed the sent tie had vacated
when she entered the room.
‘But you’ll go just the same,” sh>
said.
Alone? Never!” he protested, wlin
vehc menee.
"1 hate to keep you away from
church on tlie only day in the year you
ever go," she said.
“See here,” said he, “we’ll compro-mise.
We'll attend service tills morn-ing
at a place where your hat will not
be conspicuous—at a place, in fact,
where they will never know whether
it is of tho winter variety or tlie latest
Easter creation. Will you go?”
“Of course I will,” she replied.
They took a suburban ear and rode
to the end of the route. Then they
walked a mile or so along a secluded
road and presently turned into a clump
of woods.
Elizabeth looked about her with In-terest,
then turned to her companion.
'And where is the church?" she
asked.
“ ’The groves were God's first tem-ples,’
” he quoted serenely.
■I believe you're glad tlie bat didn't
come,” she said.
He regarded Iter with quiet Amuse-ment.
'I believe 1 am," be returned.
•I don’t believe my hat will be un-duly
criticised here,” she said, with a
meaning glance In his direction.
•And I shall have you all to my-self,”
lie said, with content. “Let’s
perch on tlie fence and have an Easter
service for two. There Is at least one
devout worshiper here,” he said point-edly.
They climbed tlie low fence and sat
down on tlie top rider. The air was
soft, and it was freighted with tlie
smell of warm, wet earth. The sun-light
through tin1 branches made an
Interwoven shadow fabric on tlie
ground. Bird voices pitied with a pleas-ant
plaintiveness.
•It's good to lie alive,” he comment-ed.
“Isn't it?” she said.
“And to lie here,” lie wont on.
“ltnther than at tlie Church of the
Apostles?” she asked.
“Decidedly,” he averred. ‘Tvo much
more courage here.”
“More courage?” she questioned.
“Yes. More courage to make an
Easter confession,” lie explained.
“Shall I be given absolution?”
“That depends. It isn’t murder, is
it?”
“More like suicide I Imagine” lie re-turned
grimly. “You won't laugh at it,
will you?” he said, with very apparent
anxiety.
••The seal of the confessional, you
know,” she said. “Certainly not.”
lie thoughtfully studied a neighbor-ing
tree. The girl was covertly watch-ing
him with curious eyes.
“I'm almost afraid to confess,” he
said at length.
"It must be n grievous sin,” she ob-served.
“I fear you”, think it is,” said be.
There was silence again for some mo-ments.
Then lie straightened himself
and cleared his throat.
“I love you,” lie said simply. “That’s
the confession.”
The color surged into the girl's face.
She turned away her head so that her
face was hidden.
"Do I get absolution?” be asked
anxiously.
“No,” she said, her head still turned
away.
The ensuing silence was decidedly
tense. The man broke it.
“Anyway. I’m glad I confessed,” he
snid stoutly.
The girl made no reply.
“Well,” he snid finally, “I suppose
we’d better go back.”
lie helped her from tlie wall, and
they walked back toward the road.
The man's face was very grave. He
could not see the laughter lurking in
the girl’s eyes.
“I thought perhaps you might have
surmised as much,” he said, and his
voice was grave.
“Well, I have,” she answered defi-antly.
“May I ask, then, why my confes-sion
was not granted absolution?” he
said.
“Because—well, because It’s—it’s only
sins that are absolved." she replied.
“And we owe it. to the hat,” said he.
“That, didn’t corr.e,” she laughed
softly. T BLAIR EATON.

Mount Pleasant has within its borders a population of over
6,000; while more than double that number of people live immedi-ately
around about and for them it is the natural center, as shown by
a postoffice distribution of over 15,000 It has both Pennsylvania
and Baltimore & Ohio railroad branches and will soon be given the
main line of the Coke Region Trolley System. It is completely sur-rounded
by coke plants and has in the town Bryco Brothers Company’s
big tableware glass factory, the Mount Pleasant Tool Company, Hus-band
Company’s planing mill, Galley Bros.’ carriage factory, foundry,
brewery, distillery, pop plant, two flouring mills, 13 Protestant and
3 Catholic churches, Mount Pleasant Institute, 2 large Public Schools
and 3 Parochial schools.
There is coal in abundance at the town’s gates and the same is
true of electricity and natural gas for heat, light and power. All of
which things, when taken In connection with the best water system
in Western Pennsylvania, make Mount Pleasant’s numerous manu-facturing
sites ideal.
THURSDAY,
THURSDAY NIGHTS TRAGEDY.
D. B. Pore, a member of the local po-lice
force, was shot to death while in
the discharge of his duty by Andrew
Lindsay, Jr., who was not only openly
violating the law, which forbids shoot-ing
within the borough limits, but seems
to have had murder in his heart for any
one who might attempt to arrest him for
the minor offense. It is perfectly right
and proper that Council and the County
Commissioners should join in offering a
reward for the apprehension of the mur-derer,
whose punishment the safety of
society demands.
Naturally, the young widow of the
murdered officer, his little children,
parents, brothers and sister have the
deepest sympathy of the entire com-munity.
* They are worthy of it, and yet,
heavy as their burden of sorrow is,
there is with it no disgrace for them and
the worst of their blow has fallen.
But what of that other family of good
people, in which there is also an absent
son? He is not dead, but better for him
and them that he were. He is a fugitive
from justice with a price set on his head
for having taken a human life. They
sorrow, too, and fear that the morrow
will bring the arrest and trial and possi-f
bly the gallows for their boy who, bad
though he may be, is still their son and
brother. There should be for them that
touch of fellow feeling that makes the
world akin.
The tragedy was due to the all too
common practice of carrying concealed
weapons. Why should Lindsay or any
other citizen of Mount Pleasant, for that
matter, go armed? He was a violator of
the law even before he fired the fatal
shot in the air. The trouble is this law
is not severe enough.
OUR NEW ARMORY SITE.
Colonel A. J. Logan, of Pittsburg, the
member of the State Armory Commission,
when here with his architect Saturday
looking over Frick Park, expressed
himself in favor of locating Company
E’s new home fronting on Eagle street
instead of the first talked-of site at the
head of the alley leading from Church
street.
Captain Loar opposes the proposed
change, claiming that the building, placed
on Eagle street, will not rent so readily
to outside prrties there as it would if it
stood on the east side of the park, for
the reason that the latter site is nearer
the center of the town. On the other
hand, Colonel Logan says the Eagle
street side has the more natural advan-tages.
It is not THE JOURNAL'S province in
this dispute to say anything further
than that the town wants the armory, as
the matter is one to be determined finally
by Colonel Logan and Council.
HOBSON SKINNED A MILE.
In a reception given Andrew Carnegie
at Atlanta, Georgia, the other day he
kissed quite a number of fair sex who
come right out and say that Andy, as an
osculatory artist, has Hobson skinned a
mile. Mrs. J. H. Eichberg, one of the
fair dames who were thus saluted by
the late little steel king, was tickled into
saying:
“The pressure of Mr. Carnegie's lips
caused the most satisfying sensation I
have ever experienced. The Carnegie
kiss thrills, and it also soothes. There
is a clinging quality about Mr. Carnegie’s
lips that make it perfect in an oscula-tory
way. Mr. Carnegie may be old in
years, but he is young enough in kissing
ability.
“I was kissed by the Merrimac hero
when he was here some years ago, but
got little joy out of it. Hobson is too
hasty. He just pecks at a woman's
mouth and quits. That doesn't satisfy.
Mr. Carnegie covers your lips with his
and keeps them covered. The Hobson
kiss is amateur; the Carnegie kiss is
mature."

by raiding the Vanderbilt Hungarian

proprietor, and John Meglesz, the cash-ier.
The former was released, but
Meglesz was held for court without bail.

12QS SPRING OPENING M
|
We have now raised the curtain and are ready for Spring business, After three
months’ buying struggle we are proud and confident of our lines. The woman who treas-ures
individuality in dress,distinctiveness in style, will recognize our leadership in show-ing
the newest creations in women’s apparel by a visit to our store The women whose
aim is to dignify their dollar will appreciate our matchless low prices arid also what, we
have been doing to make good our claim: “More goods for same money same goods
for less money,’’
1906 MILLINERY.
There is a world of cleverness and beauty embodied in this
display of spring millinery. The foremost, milliners of New
York have sent us their smartest creations. No other house in
Westmoreland county shows a finer variety. Every idea is rep-resented
and its a display that, as we look at it now, we may
well be proud. All are invited to come and look us through and
we are sure you will be amazed at the handsome line and irre-sistibly
low prices.
$3.98 for ladies’ hats, Parisian copies, trimmed with beautiful
trimmings. They come in different styles and suit all
tastes, and if you were to judge you’d make a good guess
at $7 00.
$2.98—a hat charged #5.00 for by exclusive milliners. That’s the whole story in a nut-shell.
$7.50 for hats that, if you had worn one of them and looked at hats sold for #10, you’d
think your’s was much ahead in style and quliaty.
Again we ask you not to make your choice before you see our line. It’s not nec-essary
to bny your hat at the same place you bought it last season if you can better your-self
by buying elsewhere.

Everything for Everybody. Always the Cheapest.
Summer
Skirts.
You Need a New Skirt for Easter?
Haven’t time to get it made by your dressmaker now?
/
Our Ready to-Wear Department will be your friend in need, for
we have just received from one of the foremest skirt manufacturers
about fifty of the most stylish things they make. You have no oc-casion
to say you “can’t afford it, because the prices are unusually
low---less, in fact, than your dressmaker would charge for making
it, to say nothing about the cost of the goods.
They are in all manner of colors, but mostly in greys, blues,
blacks, castors and browns.
No trouble to fit you, for our dressmaker can alter it for you
while you wait without extra cost.
Did you ever consider fill the advantages of trading here? If
you are posted regarding the value and quality of goods, then our
values will have instant recognition.
But if you are not, our method of trading with you ought to
appeal to your better, calmer judgment, because Experience has
tdllQllt US where to get the best values for our money. It has also
taught us how small a profit we can afford to accept. This we
have marked in plain figures that all who wish may see.
We will not ask you $5.00 for a $3.00 skirt and then get $4.00
from you for it. But we ask you $3.00 for a skirt that’s Worth
$3.00, and that’s the price.
SEE THE ADVANTAGE?

HOW JAPS^KEEP STRONG.
Journal Readers Can Learn Something of
Value From This.
Such a thing as a weakling is hardly
known in Japan. The wonderful endur-ance
of the Japanese soldiers and sailors
in the recent war has been the marvel of
all nations. Both men and women are
well, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful investi-gators
tell us, is that the Japanese from
childhood up know how to keep well
through care of the digestive system. If
they have trouble with indigestion,heart-burn,
wind on the stomach, loss of ap-petite,
sleeplessness, headaches, rheu-matic
pains, back-eches, or any of the
other troubles caused by a weak stom-ach,
they treat themselves witli some of
the principal remedies that compose
Mi-o-na, a stomach remedy that has al-ready
a large sale in Mount Pleasant at
C. F. Coldsmith's.
So uniformly successful has the rem-edy
been in curing all stomach troubles
where it is used in accordance with the
simple directions given with each box,
that C. F. Coldsmith gives a signed guar*
antee with every 50 cent package to re-fund
the money if Mi-o-na fails to
benefit.
A Fine Training School.
The Peterson Business College, Scott-dale,
has become one of the leading
practical business training schools in
this state. In the brief pferiod of its ex-istence
it has prepared young people
from all over Pennsylvania for active
duties in business life. Its constant
growth has recently made it necessary
to increase its capacity in every depart-ment.
Additional equipment and im-proved
appliances have been added for
the training of students in the most up-to-
date methods. A corps of licensed
teachers is permanently employed, as-suring
students of high grade instruction
in every particular. All young people
desiring to prepare in this line should
be satisfied with nothing but the best.
The best is none too good for you. All
communications will be promptly an-swered.

.The price of a thing is the ulti-mate
measure of value. It is not
enough to get goods at a low price;
they may have neither style nor
merit
Nor is it good trading to pay a
high price because nothing but the
choicest and best will suit you.
Sagacity with regard to pur-chases
consists in knowing how
and where to procure the most se-lect
at a fair price. That is where-in

its usefulness to many.

TERRIBLE
HANDICAP
Suffered by Cupid at Latrobe When a New
Florence Boy and Derry Girl
Tried to Elope.
FI ONE'S PI SPOILFO1 WHOLE THING.
Jesse Decker, a 17-year-old New Florence lad, and Emily Harrold, one
of Derry’s fair daughters, tried to elope last Wednesday, but the girl’s father,
Riley Harrold, spoiled Cupid’s carefully laid plans by following and overtaking
the runaway pair at Latrobe.
When the old gentleman butted in Jesse drew a pistol and took a crack
at him, but without doing any damage except to the peace and quietness of
that borough, for which he is now in jail at Greensburg; while Miss Emily
was turned over to a constable who placed her in the Morganza Reform School.

church edifices are departments in the
larger scheme, each contributing its
share to the general programme. On
Easter day worshipers hurry from
church to church, hmldiig the whole
round if possible. Peasants touch el-bows
with the old nobility, and they
kneel together in prayer. Devotion,
like death, levels all ranks. The queen
of Italy often makes the rounds with
the rest. Foreign lords and princes
and even members of royalty nre in
the city by the Tiller at this sensou
and participate in the celebrution with
the people.
One peculiar ceremony is the climb-ing
of the holy stairs, which is done by
the pilgrims on their knees. Prince
and peasant thus toil slowly up the
well worn steps together and kiss the
image of the Saviour at the top. These
stairs are said to have belonged to
Pontius Pilate and to have been trod-den
by Jesus at the time of the trial.
They were brought from Jerusalem to
Rome by Helena, the mother of Con-stantine,
in the fourth century.
During a portion of holy week no
bells are heard In Home. In place
thereof small boys go about tbe streets
marking the hours with a quaint in-strument
known as the trlktrak, a clap-per
made of wood and iron. On Palm
Sunday the streets are filled with vend-

ers of imitation palms, and worship-ers
linger on the steps if St. Peter’s
and other churches to buy tiicse sym-bols
of the day. On Easter morning
priests may be seen on their way to
bless the breakfast of the people. Tills
meal consists for the most part of eggs
and sausages, and the blessing of it is
considered essential by every devout
Catbol 1c.
Another quaint custom that is still
observed in Home is that of spider
sweeping on Easter. It is meant to
typify cleansing. Venders on the
streets have small brooms fixed at the
tends of .ong bandies for the purpose.
With those ail the webs are swept out
of the houses.
Easter is a glad holiday in the Catho-lic
capital. The feelings of the people
are in accord with the resurrection idea,
the triumph of the Christ over death.
The ■common salutation is, “Happy
Easter,” and this salutation is offered
not alone to acquaintances, but to
strangers as well. The bells ring out
Joyfully, and Home becomes a great
musical instrument, vibrating with
chimes. In other times the season was
marked by a perfect carnival of form,
a riot of ceremony. In later days
something more of democracy and
simplicity has been introduced, but
even yet the formal predominates.
Some of these ceremonies are very Im-
Dressive—for example, the singing of

(CONTINUED.]
i no contest lusted for ft very brief
While. The number of the slaughtered
In proportion to the total number of
men engaged was appalling.. But tills
was not all. To it was Immediately
added the hasty hanging of men to the
nearest trees, and Guilford Duncan
was powerless to prevent that. The
negroes, loyal to the mistresses whom
they had served from Infancy, had
gone wild in -their enthusiasm of de-fense.
They ran amuck, and when the
morning came there was not one man
of all those marauders left alive to tell
the story of the conflict.
In the meanwhile Guilford Duncan,
by mertns of Ills men, had gathered In-formation
in every direction. He knew
now that all hope was gone of his Join-ing
Johnston’s army, even if that army
had not surrendered, ns by this time it
probably had done. He therefore
brought liia men together. Most of
them lived in those mountains round-about
or in the lower country east of
them, so lie said to them:
“Men, the war is over. Most of you,
as I understand it, live somewhere
near here or within fifty miles of
here. As the Inst order that I shall
ever issue to you as a captain, I direct
you now ,to return to your homes at
once. My advice to you is to go to
work and rebuild your fortunes ns best
you can. We’ve had our last fight.
We’ve done our duty like men. We
must now do the best that we enn for
ourselves under extremely adverse cir-cumstances.
Go home, cultivate your
fields, take care of your families and
be as good citizens In peace as you
have been good soldiers in war.”
There was a hurried consultation
among the men. Presently Sergeant
Garrett spoke for the rest anil said:
“We will not go home. Captain Dun-can.
until each one of us has written
orders from you to do so. Some of us
fellows have children in our homes,
and the rest of us may have children
hereafter. We want them to know, as
the years go by. that we did not desert
our cause even In its dying hours; that
we did not quit the army until we were
ordered to quit. We ask of you, for
each of us, a written order to go home
or to go wherever else you may order
us to go.”
The captain fully understood the loy-alty
of feeling which underlay this re-quest,
and he promptly responded to it.
Taking from his pocket a number of
old letters and envelopes, he searched
out whatever scraps there might be of
blink paper. Upon these scraps he
issued to each man of his little com-pany
a peremptory order to return to
his home, with an added statement In
the case of each that he had “served
loyally, bravely and well even unto
the end.”
That night, before their final part-ing.
the little company slept together
in the midst of a cluster of pine trees
with only one sentry on duty.
The next day came the parting. The
captain, with tears dimming his vi-sion,
shook hands with each of his men
in turn, saying to each, with choking
utterance: “Goodby! God bless you!”
Then the spokesman of the men,
Sergeant Garrett, asked:
“Are you going home, Captain Dun-can?”
For twenty seconds the young cap-tain
stared at his men, making no an-swer.
Then, mastering himself and
speaking as one dazed, he replied:
“Home? Home? On all God's earth
I have no home!”
Instantly he put spurs to his horse,
half unconsciously turning toward the
sunset.
A moment later he vanished from
view over the crest of a hill.
T CHAPTER II. HE young man rode long and
late that night. His way lay
always upward toward the
crests of the high mountains of
the Blue Ridge range.
The roads he traversed were scarcely
more than trails, too steep in their
ascent to have been traveled by wag-ons
that might wear them into thor-oughfares.
During the many hours of
his riding he saw no sjgn of human
habitation anywhere and no prospect
of finding food l’or himself or his horse,
though both were famishing.
About midnight, however, he came
upon a bit of wild pasture laud on a
steep mountain side, where his “horse
at least might crop the early grass of
the spring. There he halted, removed
his saddle and bridle and turned the
animal loose, saying:
“Poor beast! You will not stray far
away. There’s half an acre of grass
here, with bare rocks all around it.
Your appetite will be leash enough to
keep you from wandering.”
Then the young man—no longer a
captniu now, but a destitute, starving
wanderer on the face of the earth—
threw himself upon a carpet of pine
needles in a little clump of timber,
made a pillow of his saddle, drew the
saddle blanket over his shoulders to
keep out the night chill, loosened his
belt and straightway fell asleep.
Before doing so, however, faint with
hunger as he was and weary to the
verge of collapse, he had a little cere-mony
to perform, and he performed it
in answer to a sentimental fauev. With
rue point of Ills sword he found an
earth bank free of rock and dug a
trench there. In it he placed Ids sword
in its scabbard and with its belt and
sword knot attached. Then, drawing
the earth over it and stamping it down,
he said:
“That ends the soldier chapter of my
life. I must turn to the work of pence
now. I have no fireplace over which to
hang the trusty blade. It is better to
bury it here in the mountains, in the
midst of desolation, and forever to for-get
all that it suggests.”
When he waked in the morning a
soaking, persistent, pitiless rain was
falling. The young man's clothing was
so completely saturated that as lie
stood erect the water streamed from
his elbows, and he felt it trickling
down his body and his legs.
“This is a pretty good substitute for
a bath,” he thought ns he removed his
garments nnd with strong, nervous
hands wrung the water out of them ns
laundresses do with linen.
He had no means of kindling a fire,
and there was no time for that at any
rate. Guilford Duncan had begun to
feel the pangs not of mere hunger, but
of nctual starvation—the pains that
mean collapse and speedy death. He
knew that he must find food for him-self,
and that quickly. Otherwise he
must die there, helpless and alone, on
the desolate mountain side.
He might, indeed, kill his horse and
live for a few days upon its flesh until
it should spoil. But such relief would
be only a postponing of the end, and
without the horse he doubted that he
could travel far toward that western
land which he had half unwittingly
fixed upon as his goal.
He was well up in the mountains
now and near the crest of the great
range. The valley lay beyond, and he
well knew that he would find no food
supplies in that region when he should
come to cross It. Sheridan had done a
perfect work of war there, so devas-tating
one of the most fruitful regions
on all God’s earth that in picturesque
words he had said, "The crow that files
over the valley of Virginia must car-ry
his rations with him.”
In the high mountains matters were
not much better. There had been no
battling up there in the laud of the
sky, but the scars and the desolation
of war were manifest even upon moun-tain
sides and mountain tops.
For four years the men who dwelt
in the rude log cabins of that frost bit-ten
and sterile region bad been serv-ing
as volunteers in the army, fighting
for a cause which was none of theirs
nnd which they did not at all under-stand
or try to understand. They
fought upon, instinct alone. It lmd al-ways
been the custom of the mountain
dwellers to shoulder their guns and go
into the thick of every fray which
seemed to them in any way to threaten
their native land. They went blindly,
they fought desperately, and they on
dured mantully. Ignorant, illiterate,
abjectly poor, inured to hardship
through generations, they asked no
questions the answers to which they
could not understand. It was enough
for them to know that their native land
was invaded by an armed foe. When-ever
that occurred they were ready to
meet force with force and to do their
humble mightiest to drive that foe
away or to destroy him without asking
even who he was.
During the absence of four years
their homes had fallen into fearful
desolation. Those homes were log cab-ins,
clinked nnd daubed, mostly having
earthen floors and chimneys built of
sticks thickly plastered with mud. But,
humble as they were, they were homes,
nnd they held the wives nnd children
whom these men loved.
The little mountain homesteads had
been spared devastation. But in war it
is not “the enemy” alone who lays
waste. Such little cribs and granaries
and smokehouses as these poor- moun-tain
dwellers owned hud been despoil-ed
of their stores to feed tlje armies in
the field. Their boys, even those as
young as fourteen, had been drawn
into the army. Their hogs, their sheep,
the few milk cows they possessed, had
been taken away from them. Their
scanty oxen had been converted into
army beef, and those of them who
owned a horse or a mule had been
compelled to surrender the animal for
military use, receiving in return only
Confederate treasury notes, now worth
no more than so much of waste paper.
Nevertheless Guilford Duncan per-fectly
understood that lie must look to
the impoverished people of the high
mountains for a food supply in this
his_sore extremity. Therefore, instead
of crossing the range by way of any of
the main traveled passes, he pushed
his grass refreshed steed straight up
Mount Pleasant to its topmost heights.
There,-about noon, he came upon a
lonely cabin whose owner had reached
home from the war only a day or two
earlier.
There was an air of desolation and
decay about the place; but, knowing
the ways of the mountaineers, the
young man did not despair of securing
some food there, for even when the
mountaineer is most prosperous ' his
fences are apt to be down, his roof out
of repair and all his surroundings to
wear the look of abandonment and
despair.
Duncan began by asking for dinner

Who Gives Bail for Hearing.
EMMA GREENLEAF IS THE PROSECUTRIX,
George A. Hockey, the well known East Huntingdon township consta-ble,
was arrested last Wednesday evening at his home in Tarr by Constable
George S. Anderson, of Greensburg, on the charge of extortion, preferred
before Squire J. F. Ijeatty by Emma Greenleaf, of East Huntingdon township.
The Greenleaf woman went to Greensburg the day before and before
Squire Beatty told of her conducting a bawdy house in Constable Hockey’s
bailiwick and how he came to her at different times and charged her certain
sums of money to keep him from exposing and pulling her house. L l
The prosecutrix claims that from July 30 to November 25, 1905, she
gave Hockey a total of $51 in sums ranging from #3 to $10. Hockey, who
gave bail for a hearing, denies the soft impeachment.

was what lie expected in that
land of poverty stricken but always
generous hospitality.
"Ain’t got milch to oiler you. cay’n,"
said the owner, “but sicli as it is you’re
welcome.”
Meanwhile be bad given the liorse a
dozen ears of corn, saying:
“Reckon ’twon't hurt film. lie don’t
look 's if he’d been u-feedln’ any too
hearty, an’ 1 reckon a dozen ears won’t
founder him.”
For dinner there were a scanty piece
of bacon, boiled with wild mustard
plants for greens, and some pones of
corn bread.
To Guilford Duncan in bis starving
condition this seemed n veritable feast.
The eating of it so far refreshed him
that lie cheerfully answered all the
questions put to him by bis shirt
sleeved host.
It is a tradition in Virginia that no-body
can ask so many questions 11s a
Yankee, and yet there was never a
people so Insistently given to asking
questions of a purely and impertinent-ly
personal character as were the Vir-ginians
of anything less than the high-er
and gentler class. They question-ed
a guest not so much because of any
idle curiosity concerning bis affairs as
because of a friendly desire to mani-fest
interest In him and in what might
concern him.
“What mout your name be, cap’n?”
the host began as they sat at dinner.
“My name is Guilford Duncan,” re-plied
the young man. “But I am not
a captain now. I'm only a very poor
young man—greatly poorer than you
for at least you own a home nnd a
little piece of the mountain top, while
I own no inch of God’s earth or any-thing
else except my horse, my four
pistols, my saddle and bridle aud the
clothes I wear.”
“What's your plan—goin’ to settle
in tile mountings? They say there'll
be big money in ’stillin’ whisky an’ not
a-payin' of the high tax on it. It’s a
resky business, or will be when the
Yanks get theirselves settled down
into possession, like, but I kin see
you're game fer resks, an’ ef you want
a workIn' parduer I’m your rnau.
There’s a water power just a little way
down the mounting in a valley that one
good man with a rifle kin defend.”
“Thank you for your offer,” answer-ed
Duncan. "But I'm not thinking of
settling in the mountains. I’m going to
the west if I can get there. Now, to do
that I must cross tlie valley, and I
must have some provisions. Can you
sell me a side of bacon, a little bag of
meal and a little salt?”
“What kin you pay with, mister?”
“Well, I have no money, of course,
except worthless Confederate paper,
but I have two pairs of Colt’s 'navy
six’ revolvers, aud I’d be glad to give
you one pair of them for my dinner,
my horse’s feed and the provisions I
have mentioned.”
“Now look a-here, mister,” broke in
the mountaineer, rising aud straighten-ing
himself to ids full height of six
feet four, "when you come to my door
you was mighty hungry. You axed for
a dinner an’ a hoss feed, an’ I’ve done
give ’em to you free, gratis an' fer
nothin’. No man on the face o' God’s
yearth kin say us how lie ever come to
Si Watkins’ house in need of a dinner
an’ a lioss feed ’thout a-gittiu’ both.
An’ no man kin say as how Si Watkins
ever took a cent o’ pay fer a-entertain-in'
of angels unawares, as the preach-ers
says. But when it comes to fur-nishin’
you with a side o' bacon an’
some meal an’ salt, that’s more differ-enter.
That's business. There’s mierhty
little menl an’ mighty few sides o’ ba-con
in these here parts, but I don’t
mind a-tellin’ you ns how my wife’s
done managed to hide a few sides o’
bacon an' a little meal from the fellers
what come up here to collect the tax in
kind. Ef you choose to take one o’
them sides o' bacon an' a little menl
an’ salt an' give me one o’ your pistols,
I’m quite agreeable. The gun mout
come in bandy when I git a little still
n-goln’ down there In the holler.”
“I'll do better than that,” answered
Duncan. “I'll give you a pair of the
pistols, 11s I said.”
“Hold on! Go a leetle slow, mister,
an’ don't forglt nothin’. You promised
to gimme the p’ar o' pistols fer the
bacon an’ meal an' salt an’ fer yer din-ner
an’ hoss feed. I’ve done tole you
as how Si Watkins don’t never take no
pay fer a dinner an’ lioss feed, so you
can't offer me the p'nr o’ pistols 'thout
offerin’ to pay fer yer entertainment o’
man an’ beast, an’ I won’t lmve that, I
tell you.”
“Very well,” said Duncan. “I didn’t
mean that. I'll give you one of the
pistols In payment for the supply of
provisions. That will end the business
part of tlie matter. Now, I'm going to
do something else with tlie other pistol
—the mate of that one.”
With that he opened his pocketknife
and scratched on the silver mounting
of I lie pistol butt tlie legend:' “To S'
Watkins*"!!! memory of a visit. From
Guilford Duncan, Cairo, III.”
Then, handing the inscribed weapon
to ills host, lie said:
"I have a right to make you a little
present, purely in the way of friend-ship,
and not ns ‘pay’ for anything at
all. I want to give you this pistol, aud
I want you to keep it. I don’t know
where I am going to live and work in
the west, and I don't know why I wrote
‘Cairo, 111.,’ us my address. It simply
came to nte to do it. Perhaps it’s a
good onion. Anyhow I shall go to
Cairo, nnd if I leave there I’ll arrange
to have my letters forwarded to me
wherever I may lie, so if you’re in trou-ble
at any time you can write to me at
Cairo. I am us poor as you are now-yes,
poorer—but I don’t mean to stay
poor. If you’re in trouble at any time
I'll do my best to see you through, just
ns you have seen me through this
time”
