WITH The Occupants, a Man and a Boy, Are Badly Shaken Up, but Wot Seri- ously Injured. Last week si o rtiy after Turn NEWS had gone to press Harry Thompson, who Is employed In Dickson's livery, was return- ing ficm a diive with guests from the MoBler cottage and when near the Elver Side the Icing bolt broke, letting the front end of the wagon drop to the ground. The driver was unceremoniously precipi- tated Into the road and the team, with 'the front wheels of the surrey, started up theetroet with the speed of the Emplro State Express. In front of Barber's pho- tograph car was 0, J, Akerly, with the bake wagon or Sperling & Akeily, and on the peat Mr. A kiirly's little nephew, At a shout ot warning Mr. Akerly sprang to get the little fellow out of 'harm's way, but the runaway team was upon him be- foie he oould accomplish his purpose. The horses ran into the rear end of the ba ke if agon, breaking the neokyoke which bound tbem together, upsetting Mr. Akerly's wagon upon him and breaking things up generally. When removed from the wreck it was thought that Mr. Akerly was seriously injured. A bad cut upon the forehead, another undor the chin and a wrenched side were treated by the allelic ing physician, and after a few days' confinement in the house he is able to again attend to business. It was also thought (hat hie nephew was seri- ously Injured, but very fortunately he escaped with a few scratches and bruises. The bake wagou was broken somewhat, and that both occupants were not in- stantly killed Is almost miraculous. The horses sustained comparatively no injury at all. FROM HOUSE TO DISTRICT JUDGE. Hon. George W. Ray Appointed to Unit- ed States Judgeship. The President has appointed George W.

Partial Results of the First Day's Shoot in the \Open Season.\ Tuesday was the first day of the \ open season \ for game birds and animals, and the returns are coming In slowly. Guns were In great demand on Mon- day, and the small change set aside for potatoes and butter wont for powder and shot in many Instances, while the hope of an ultimately reinforced larder swelled the manly chest and drowned all com- punction of conscience. Hunting parties departed from the vil- lage In all directions like spokes running away from the hub of a wheel. Charley Dickson and Reed Delameter on Monday afternoon sought a remote jungle and returned Tuesday evening with 1 partridge, 3 gray squirrels and 1 whatyoumayoallit. A jagged notch 0:1 the stock of Chaiiey's Remington shows that one of the squirrels bit the dust when he pulled the trigger. John Street, OUs Shuttle and \Gib\ DuMond bagged 2 rabbits and 2 gray squirrels, and a delicious odor now ob- scures the Bouton House. Henry Hilt and John Rotermund went out together. Hfenry ehot at a fox and Reynard is running yet. It Is evident that the Fur Association needs some bet- tor dogs. \Tom\ Hill hunted all day and bag- god 1 gray squirrel. He says he only went oul to try his dog, John Allaben performed operations on 3 gray Equlrrels, none of which survived, Marshall Dean deserted his briefs long enough to go out and give 1 squirrel his last sickness. Marshall will wear the tall in his hat when he sings \Bon- nie Jockle, Blytho and Gay \In kilts at the Masonic blowout. He also bagged a partridge that to his astonished gaze looked bigger than a buzza'd. Will Kittle killed 3 partridges, and yesterday ho slaughtered another that was as big ae a goose. The editor prefers his game dressed, but if It makes any difference bring it along with the feathers on. We can pick 'em I Local gunnors cannot be prevented from telling b'g stories about their achievements on the first day of the sea- son, but there is a law to stop them from throwing rabbits' headB, equlrrels' tails and partridge feathers in theGraud Oanal, and they had better not do It?

IN Steals a Horse, Which He Afterward Mu- tilates in an Attempt to Kill-He I Threatens to Kill Pursuers. Considerable excitement has been oc- casioned In the neighborhood of Fish Eddy by the escapade of 0. AV. Barn hart, who Is commonly known as \ The Do- mlny,\ from the fact that he occasionally assumes the role of a preacher of the gospel. Some lime ago, it is alleged, he stole a horse in Greene County and took It to Peakvlllo, where he traded It for anolhor. Learning that he was pursued he look SETTLED. Messrs. Reed and Slack End Their Quar- rel Over the Boat. The differences between S. W. Rood, Jr., and Robert Slack have Anally been settled, but not, however, without in- voking the law's aid. The trouble arose over a pleasure boat owned by Rood, which was swept away from ite mowings by one of the Hoods arid was captured by the venerable Robert Slack near his home below this village. Robert repeatedly refused to relinquish possession of the much-sought-after boat, demanding pay for the oare he had taken of It, having FROM ALL ABOUTTHE COUNTY MIN08 ITEMS THAT ARE GLEANED FROM OUR EXCHANGES. gone to the trouble to attach chain, sta- ple aud padlock, and, as he supposed, se- curely locked the boat to a beech sapling.

The owners | w «\ti to sail down the Delaware are like of tho first horse came on and secured their property and swore out a warrant for Barnharl's arrest. Nothing was heard of Barnhart until a few days ago, when officers from Penn- sylvania came to look for a horse that ho had stolen over ihoro. Investigation showed that Barnhart had been seen about his home in Tar Hollow, about throe miles from Flah Eddy. On tho approach of the officers he lied to the woods and threatened to shoot all who followed, He was pursued Officer LaFave of Fioh Eddy and a posse, but their search was in vain. Whllo hunting for him one day last week the officers found the Pennsylvania curred \long bout tater dlgqin' time, iu the woods. His throat had been »' hlol » h e was very positive. The ma hoi Be : cut and tho windpipe nearly severed. The work had evidently been done with a dull knife. It Is thought that Barnhart, in an of- fort to roncoal his crime, tried to kill the animal. The hoi so was taken to Fish Eddy. A veterinary who was summoned expressed tho opinion that, aB the jugular vein was not severed, Its life oould bo saved. Since ids ilight Barnhart has appoared at a farmhouse, whore he demanded and received food, aud It is surmised that ho has friends who aro keeping him posted as to the movomeuts of the officers. lovers In one sense, they \laugh at lock- smiths,\ and upon the return of Robert to his home he found that some one had made away with the boat. He suspected that Reed was the guilty one and caused a letter to be written aud sent a man to read It inviting Mr. Reed into tho pres- ence of Justice Carman at Andes. Reed appreciated tho Invitation and resolved to have a little reception of his own at home. Ho procured a warrant from Justice Vonnilya of Halcottville, charg- ing Robert with conversion, and before eix good men aud true the matter was aired.
