J. Lewis was in Clearfield Monday attending the funeral of Mrs. E. H. Harvey who died at that place Saturday morning. We deeply sympathize with our good natured friend, H. H. Hubbard, who was so unfortunate as to break his arm while employed on the erection of the new school building. In order to pass his idle time would suggest that he take the place of W. C. at the pleasant, profitable and exciting occupation of "footer" at the ball games. Misses Grace and Belle Calhoon of Dunbar are guests at the home of their uncle, William Radcliffe, on Lang Avenue. The young ladies are apparently pleased with the scenery, the air and the young men of Patton. Miss Carrie Brown of Wormleysburg, Pa., who has been a visitor for the past few days at the residence of Rev. M. E Swartz has returned to her home. Among the many visitors at Patton last Sunday was "His Honor," A. J. Waters and a party of friends of Ebensburg who drove down our way to see the liveliest town in all Northern Cambria. When the Squire is suffering from ennui he comes to Patton to be brightened up. James Husted has returned to his home at Wellsboro after a months' visit with his sister, Mrs. W. A. Blair. Hon. W. C. Lingle had the distinguished honor of being chosen chairman of the Democratic Congressional Conference that met at Altoona last Saturday. The stork, the ubiquitous and always welcome bird, brought a dear little girl baby to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clair Monteith last Sunday. Miss Alice Maguire of Huntingdon who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. D. W. Richie for several weeks, returned to her home on Thursday. Burgess Harper more than met his match last Friday when he attempted to arrest a disorderly individual and take him to the lock up. Harvey Lingle went to the Mayor's assistance but that did not improve matters as the disorderly individual was too much for both of them. Matt Collar finally took pity on them and telling them to sit down and rest themselves, picked up the offender just as he would handle a keg of beer and carried him to the coup. For some cause neither His Honor nor Harvey cared to talk on the subject. Walter A. Blair of Wellsboro, a student at Bucknell University, is visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell on Mellon Avenue. Walter is a base ball player of note and assisted Patton last week in defeating the Madera team. T. N. Sheehan and Edward Little were two of our citizens who laid aside business last Tuesday and attended the Knights of Columbus picnic held at Cresson that day. Nor did they go alone for each was accompanied by his wife. Some persons were under the impression that Will Thompson had gone to Bigler camp meeting last Sunday. Such is not the case as he spent the day at Clearfield. Mrs. W. W. Stratiff is shipping her furniture to Jersey Shore and will join her husband at that place in a few days. Mr. Clark Tyler will occupy her cozy home on Beech Avenue. Mrs. A. J. Jackson was called to Clearfield Monday on account of her aged mother, Mrs. John Guloch, meeting with a severe accident in which she was so unfortunate as to break one of her legs. Policeman Gill has returned from St. Louis, having taken in the great show. He is glad to be back once more to peaceful and quiet Patton. The Patton-Madera ball game which took place here on Friday and Saturday of last week, were fine exhibitions of skill. Both games were taken by the locals. Loretto Gleanings Rev. Father Ferdinand Kittell, pastor of Loretto, will shortly start on an extended vacation. Rev. Kittell has spent thirty-three years in the priesthood and during the past sixteen years he has been absent from his congregation only two Sundays. He will visit the World's Fair and other western cities and expects to be absent about one month. The bans for the marriage of Mr. Edward Roes and Miss Emma Buck were published at Loretto on Sunday. Mrs. Joseph Kaylor of Pittsburg is visiting friends in Allegheny township. Miss Agnes Bannon, daughter of Postmaster Hugh Bannan (sic) of Loretto, is lying very low with typhoid fever. Frank Parrish the well known Cresson druggist is seriously ill with asthma. James W. Dailey was dangerously hurt by being tramped and bruised by a vicious bull on Wednesday last. Mr. Dailey had gone to the pasture to bring home his cows when the animal, a large Jersey, which had been put in the field, unawares to Mr. Dailey, attacked him. The fact that the bull was dehorned and the ability to climb over a fence where the beast did not follow was all that saved Dailey's life. Aside from his bruises he is not dangerously injured. In the First Degree, Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 28: Guilty of murder in the first degree was the verdict of the jury in the case of Ira Green and William Dillon on trial on the charge of killing Turnkey Jerry Condo, brought in at 9:25 o'clock this morning after the jury had been out since 2:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Bloom Has Charge Ira Bloom has charge of the stock department of the Inter-State Fair which is on in full blast in Johnstown this week. Want another Ward Captain Thomas Davis has been busy the past few days circulating a petition asking for the division of the West ward into two wards. The petition has been signed by 95 per cent of the voters of the ward. A Fine Job The residence of F. H. Barker, on High street, has risen to the second story. It is being built of Pompeilian brick and will be a handsome structure when completed. The work is being done by contractor Wm. McClarren. The building is one of the finest jobs of masonry in this part of the State. "Uncle Bill" may be a little short on ability as a seven-up player, but as a mason, there are few that can equal him. Not a "Water Snake" The MOUNTAINEER HERALD tells of a rattler 52 inches long which was caught by Robert Varner near Vinco. Former Ebensburg Man in Peculiar Mix-Up, Harrisburg, Aug. 28: The authorities here on Wednesday evening received the following dispatch from Atlantic City: "Stop girl on train, white shirtwaist, light brown hair, brown skirt, fifteen years of age, Zoe Allison, well developed for age. Look on all trains, arrest and notify Dr. T. B. Allison of Tarentum." Harrisburg policemen searched all the trains that arrived from the East yesterday morning until word was received from Philadelphia that the girl had been apprehended in that city. It later developed that the girl had been to Atlantic City with her father, where his abuse of her compelled her to desert him and start alone for her home. This was brought out at a hearing of the father, who was arrested yesterday afternoon in Union Station, in this city, for having badly maltreated his child and flourished a revolver on the trip between Philadelphia and this city. According to the story of Conductor Harding of Philadelphia, who was in charge of the train that brought Allison to Harrisburg, the father beat and kicked the girl and behaved indecently toward her until the trainmen removed him to another car and wired ahead to Harrisburg to have officers at the station to apprehend him upon the train's arrival. A passenger who chanced to be on the train told the conductor that he recognized Allison as a man who had addressed him on the beach at Atlantic City and had spoken insultingly concerning the girl. Allison at first denied that the girl was his daughter when he was being questioned by Alderman Landis, who conducted yesterday's hearings at the police station, saying that was a girl he had taken to the shore for a good time. He later acknowledged that she was his daughter and the fact was also established by communicating with Allison's wife in Tarentum by telephone. When Allison was searched a loaded revolver was found upon him and accordingly the two charges of disorderly conduct and carrying concealed deadly weapons were preferred against him. On the first charge he was sentenced to thirty days in jail or to pay a ten-dollar fine, and on the second charge his bail was fixed at $300 for appearance at court. At the hearing Allison appeared to be under the influence of some drug. Dr. Allison was formerly a well-known school teacher of Cambria County. He was originally from Indiana County where he also taught school and was regarded generally as one of the strongest educators in the western part of the State. He is a graduate of Allegheny College at Meadville and also of the West Penn Medical College and has for some years been practicing medicine at Tarentum, where he got into trouble a few years ago with some fellow members of the School Board of which he was Secretary at the time. Mr. Allison was principal of the public schools at Ebensburg for a number of years, and during the summer months, was connected with the Ebensburg Normal Institute, a school for teachers.
