LOCAL AND PERSONAL

  Mr. J. L. Cassidy of Ashville was a visitor to Ebensburg on Thursday.

  Mr. and Mrs. Theodore M. Apple, of Reade township, will celebrate the 
anniversary of their golden wedding on Monday, November 10th.

  Mr. George Gurley, a well-known grocer of Ebensburg, who has been on 
the sick list for the past two weeks, is now on a fair way to recovery.

  Gov. W. A. Stone at Harrisburg Saturday issued his Thanksgiving 
proclamation, calling for the general observation on Thursday, November 
27th.

  Mr. Nelson Sipes has removed his family to Johnstown.  Mr. Sipes will 
remain in this vicinity for some time, finishing up some work he has 
contracted for. 

  James C. Murray, one of Ebensburg's old residents, has removed to 
Washington township, where he recently bought a piece of land and 
erected a house.

  At an argument court held in Ebensburg on Thursday, the petition of 
Julian Donoughe, of Ashville, for leave to withdraw his application for 
divorce from his wife, Margaret, was granted.

  Mr. William Williams, the accommodating express delivery man of this 
place, has resigned his position and will remove to Pittsburg, where he 
will accept a similar position with the same company. 

  Mr. John Mellon, of Virginia, is visiting friends in Northern 
Cambria.  Mr. Mellon was a former resident of Clearfield township, but 
for nearly twenty years he has been a resident of Virginia where he is 
engaged in farming.

  The transfer of J. B. Baker, Jr., from the Superintendency of the 
Cambria & Clearfield Division of the P. R. R. at Cresson to that of the 
Philadelphia Terminal Division has been followed by the appointment of 
E. J. Cleave to Mr. Baker's position.

  D. R. Baird, who some fourteen years ago, was the proprietor of a 
drugstore in Johnstown has been arrested and held by the coroner's jury 
at Boulder, Col., to answer to a charge of having caused the death of 
his wife at Boulder on the night of October 15th.

  Clayton Gorsuch, employed in the Altoona yard as a switchman, was 
held up by four robbers, while at work Saturday morning.  They relieved 
him of his coat.  It is thought that one of the gang was suffering from 
the cold and that his companion took that way to give him warmer 
clothing.

  Mr. M. D. Pannebaker and wife, of Pueblo, Col., who were married a 
couple of months ago, and have been touring in the East, are spending a 
couple of weeks with Mr. C. P. Pannebaker, a brother, in this place.  
Mr. Pannebaker is a printer by trade and of course paid his respects to 
the FREEMAN during his stay.  We congratulate the young couple and wish 
them much happiness.

  While Benjamin Seylor, aged 13, and Benjamin Gorsuch, aged 14, were 
gunning at Cove, Perry county, Wednesday, the former's gun was 
accidentally discharged, blowing his head off.  Gorsuch tried to carry 
the dead body home, but sunk exhausted en route, and was found later 
with the body in his arms.

  It now appears that Dentist C. D. Logan, who died of small pox at 
Windber a few weeks ago, was married in June 1900 to Miss Maggie Kerns 
of Pittsburg, and that they intended to keep the wedding a secret until 
after Mr. Logan had completed his course at school and found a place to 
locate, some time next spring.  The wife is employed as a stenographer 
in Pittsburg.
