While the writer was driving to Ebensburg on Monday morning along the road in the California woods he passed Mr. John L. Sechler and a friend who had taken shelter form a drenching rain under a large beech tree at the roadside. To the remark of the writer that it was a bad omen for the Republican candidate to be compelled to seek shelter so early in the campaign, the latter naively answered, ?Yes.?

Supervisor Thad Eakins of Reade township was working on the public road with a road machine and six head of horses near the residence of William Shirley recently when an amusing incident occurred. Shirley has an apiary of some thirty or forty colonies of Italian bees. The honey makers evidently did not relish the presence of Eakin?s men. Their pickets first charged on the horses then on the men, when all had to make a hasty but inglorious retreat and that part of the road was left for a cold day. At a well-attended meeting of miners at Patton Thursday evening of last week, Secretary-Treasurer W. B. Wilson of the United Mine Workers of America succeeded in effecting a compromise settlement of the peculiar strike which had been there in progress and on Friday morning the men returned to work. Patrick Gilday, President of District No. 2, helped Mr. Wilson in his good work. The trouble at Patton was due to the attitude of the Socialist miners, who for reasons arising from their peculiar economic creed, refused to sign papers required the authorities of the company to keep as much money from each man?s pay as may be required to pay the check weighman.
