Mrs. Williams is a sister of Mrs. Gunsailus and also of the Hubbard boys. This is her first visit to Patton for ten years and she was simply amazed at the progress the town has made during that time. Miss Myrtle Hoover had as her guest for a few days last week Miss Anna Rively of Altoona who by the way is a musician of note. Hon. A. E. Patton left an estate valued at over one million dollars and in his will appointed as executor, Mrs. Patton, his son, Joseph, and Wm. H. Sandford. His selection of our fellow townsman is a well merited acknowledgment of confidence and ability to care for the varied and vast interests of the deceased. Rev.

Mr. Mac is one of those big-hearted, whole-souled genial men with whom it is a pleasure to associate and an honor to be counted as his friend. We are glad he has recovered health and our hope is that his new lease of life may be for a long, long period of time. Rev. M. E. Swartz, pastor of the M. E. Church will be absent next Sunday. There will be no service in his church that day which will afford our Methodist friends an opportunity to visit some of the other churches and hear preaching.

The license was transferred on Wednesday of last week and Mr. Jackson took possession at once. The consideration is private. Mr. Glotfelty expects to remain in Hastings. George Rogers was the victim of a painful accident the other day while at work in the Eclipse mine, Spangler. His brother-in-law was placing a prop in position when a sliver from the prop struck Rogers in the eye, penetrating the eyeball in two places. It is thought the sight can be saved. James Glass, aged 41 years, a farmer residing at Plane No. 6 along the Old Portage Railroad was admitted to the Altoona Hospital the other day with a fracture of the left leg. He was carrying some lumber on his shoulder when he tripped and fell, breaking his leg above the ankle. While looking over some old papers the other day, Henry Matson of Gallitzin discovered a number of letters which had been mailed in this country between 1845 and 1869. The stamps used for postage were mostly of the three-cent and two-cent variety, of different designs and they form an interesting collection of the postage of that day. John, the three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Murray of Cresson was painfully burned a few days ago. The little fellow was playing in the woodshed and found some matches, which he struck, igniting his clothing and before his mother, who was busy washing, could reach him, he was terribly burned about the face and arms. E. Nelson of the Central Hotel, Gallitzin, has purchased a Winton touring car of 24-horsepower. It has a seating capacity of five people and is operated by means of gasoline, its speed being from four to fifty miles per hour. This is the first automobile ever owned in Gallitzin and the second one ever seen in the town. Mr. Nelson is fast learning to drive the huge machine which attracts much attention everywhere, says the Gallitzin TIMES. Coroner's Jury Holds Fellows, Barnesboro, Sept. 19: Stephen Fellows was this afternoon formally held responsible for the death of his wife, whom he shot at the station here Thursday morning. Coroner Miller came to town before noon and immediately impaneled a jury composed of the following men: W. A. Donahey, H. B. McMillen, H. A. Morris, Alex Caldwell, Milton Spencer and Thomas Stephenson. The inquest was held in the office of Dr. J. C. McMillen and occupied from about 1 o'clock until 3. Five witnesses all of whom had seen the crime were examined. The story developed was practically the same as was posited at the time of the shooting. Fire at Wilmore, Wilmore, Sept. 19: At 10:30 this morning flames were discovered issuing from the third story of the Jr. O. U. A. M. Hall used for lodge purposes and a residence by Miss Jane Miller and an alarm of fire was given. The Wilmore fire company responded promptly to the alarm and by hard work prevented the total destruction of the building and its contents. During the progress of the fire, R. Treese was badly burned while fighting the flames and G. W. Plummer had a narrow escape from death by slipping from the roof of the building. It took two hours of hard work to get the fire out. The loss in the building and to Mrs. Kirby who occupied the dwelling part of it and to the lodge paraphernalia will reach a total of $500. Visiting Old Home James A. Porter of Pratt, Kansas, is visiting the scenes of his youth. He was born on the present site of Barnesboro and left this state for Kansas about 20 years ago. Mr. Porter was at one time one of the auditors of this county and when John H. Brown was recorder he was a clerk in that office. After removing to Kansas he continued in politics, being twice elected recorder of deeds and twice treasurer of his county. He was in Ebensburg on Monday renewing old acquaintances and he will go to Barnesboro to see for himself the transformation which has taken place at that spot since he roamed it a barefoot boy. Another visitor was John Hanison of Marysville, Mo., who is now the guest of James Singer of Vinco. Mr. Hanison was born in Jackson Township, removing to Missouri in 1868. During the war he was a member of Company C, Nineteenth United States Infantry, Capt. Tom Davis having been an orderly sergeant in that company. He came up on Monday from Vinco to pay his respects to Capt. Tom and to renew acquaintances of 40 years ago. Negro Makes Most Brutal Assault, Patton, Pa., Sept. 21: Mrs. Thos. Bogan of Seldom Seen, a mining hamlet about 1 1/4 miles from this place is in a critical condition at her home tonight as the result of the boldest and most heinous crime that has ever been committed in this section, and an unknown negro, who assaulted her, is being hunted for by the populace of the entire vicinity. The crime committed in broad daylight took place at 8 o'clock this morning and for three hours the helpless woman was held a prisoner in the woods by the negro fiend, who terrified her with a loaded revolver and wrecked his will on his unwilling victim. Mrs. Bogan was walking along the railroad tracks at the above hour when she was accosted by a negro whom she described as being about twenty-three or twenty-four years old and rather small. The negro, who was an entire stranger, placed a revolver at the woman's head and forced her to precede him into the woods that bordered the track but a short distance away. For three hours Mrs. Bogan was held a prisoner at the mercy of the brute. The struggle that must have taken place in the woods is indicated by the fact that when Mrs. Bogan finally escaped and made her way toward her home at Seldom Seen, her clothing was all practically torn off and she was in a state of nervous collapse besides suffering from the injuries inflicted by her captor. The negro, having taken his victim into the woods, repeatedly assaulted her and kept her under his power until 11 o'clock. He then started away, leaving the helpless woman lying in the woods. She struggled out to the track and then made her way toward her home. On meeting some other residents of Seldom Seen she related as well as she could what had happened and they immediately took charge of her, conveying her to her home where medical attention was given her. Posses were organized to hunt down the negro and took up their task with avidity. Mrs. Bogan was unable to give much of a description of the man, save what is mentioned above. The negro, however, had succeeded in getting away without leaving any clue by which he could be traced. The searchers are entirely at sea as to the direction taken by the criminal and the only thing they could do was to make a search of all the surrounding country which is being done. Threats of lynching the fellow if he is caught are being freely made. The audacity of the crime can hardly be realized. During the three hours the negro held her in the woods, persons passed close to the place but knew nothing of what was transpiring almost under their very eyes. Mrs. Bogan's condition tonight is extremely critical, the nervous shock she sustained in addition to her injuries make her recovery a matter of some question. The whole neighborhood is aroused over the outrage and so much excitement has not been known here for years. No effort will be spared to capture the negro. Sheriff Lenhart is expected here in the morning, along with County Detective Knee, and a systematic hunt for the man will then be organized. Held for Court Jas. E. Noel of Clearfield township was arrested recently on information made by Martin Thomas, charging him with threats, surety of the peace and interfering with an officer. Thomas, who is a supervisor in Clearfield township, alleged that while he was widening a road Noel appeared, flourished a revolver and threatened him bodily harm, unless he desisted in the work he was engaged in. Noel waived a hearing before Justice of the Peace Boone and was bound over to court on $500 bail. W. H. Sandford became his surety. Sixty Men to Remain The officials of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company have notified their Vintondale superintendent to place 60 men at Wehrum and keep them employed there during the winter. They will be given work in the coal washer, lumber and railroad yards and company store. These man and their families are to reside in the company houses in Wehrum while the men who secured work at Vintondale and who now live at Wehrum may continue there. The drift mines at Vintondale will be operated much more extensively than ever and the newcomers taken on there have been told to reside in Wehrum which is but three miles away. The Indiana men interested in the Wehrum National Bank says the Indiana GAZETTE realize that for a time at least the town is almost dead as a business center and that its former industries may never be resumed, owing to the great expense of mining the coal from the shafts 200 feet deep. Despite the heavy run on the bank of last week when the shut down was announced the bank was prepared and is now in good shape financially. With a view of planning for the future, the directors of the bank held a meeting in Wehrum last Friday and decided to continue business for the present. Its future will be decided upon at a directors meeting on October 18. The directors meeting on Friday was attended by John A. Scott and D. L. Moorehead of Indiana and William P. Cochran and Christ G. Brixner of Wehrum. Charles Cunningham of Indiana is the cashier. Fair Scores a Great Hit All roads lead to Ebensburg this week and over every road came many people for this is the week of our long-to-be-remembered fair. It was the real article, this fair of ours. Not one-cow-and-a-pumpkin attraction such as other towns give but an agricultural exhibit, a race meet, a carnival, a dog and poultry show and a slice of Coney Island all merged into one attraction. Every event was a real attraction and everything advertised was given - a fact unparalleled in the annals of Cambria County fairs. On Tuesday there was little doing aside from the race program. The exhibits were not all placed, the people holding privileges had not opened up. The races pulled off resulted as follows: 2:20 Pace - Purse $200 Bankwood: 3, 4, 5 Little George: 5, 5, 2 Joe Hontes: 4, 6, 6, Stella S.: 1, 1, 1 Hartford: 2, 2, 2 Alice W.: 5, 3, 4 Times: 2:20 1/8 2:20 1/4 2:20 1/2 Road Race Armour: 4, 4, 4, 2 Burglar: 1, 2, 3, 2 Dock: 3, 3, 2, 4 Ruben: 2, 1, 1, 1 In this race, Cambridge Boy owned by Jos. Shoemaker was barred and Ruben, owned by M. H. Sipe, raced under protest. On Wednesday things became lively. The races were as good as they have 'em. The barkers in front of the shows loosened up, the pool sellers added their cry to the din, while the call of the "are you ready" mingled in the general chorus. Three bands were in attendance, two from Barnesboro and our own fine aggregation. In the morning Patton and Carrolltown played ball and Carrolltown was licked. The races resulted as follows: 2:14 Pace - Purse $300 Lady Rodman: 1, 1, 2, 4, 2 Burglar: 1, 2, 2, 3, 2 Pure Gold: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4 Vastine: 4, 2, 3, 2, 3 Oscar: 4, 4, 1, 1, 1 Time: 2:16 1/4 2:16 1/2 2:16 1/4 2:15 1/2 2:18 1/4 2:40 Pace - Purse $200 Pat: 3, 2, 2, 4 Ester Lil: 2, 1, 1, 1 Stella V: 1, 4, 3, 2 Chimes Pointer: 4, 3, 4, 2 Time: 2:27 1/4 2:25 1/4 2:28 1/2 2:32 In this race Allie Moore, owned by John Pender of Johnstown was distanced.
