AND Frank Westgate is erecting a large ice house and when finished it will have a thousand ton capacity, which he has contracted for. He also has orders for 500 cars for shipment this winter.

Rush - Arrested For Murder: James Eagan and Cornelius Shew Now in Jail Charged With Killing Jackson Pepper. "They have arrested the Pepper murderers and have got them in jail!" was the startling though welcome news that went like wildfire through Montrose on Monday morning and quickly radiated to the furthermost extremities of the county of Susquehanna. Later in the day it was ascertained that after months of untiring effort light and truth had, apparent-ly, triumphed over what had seemed the most blind and baffling circumstances. The Crime. Few there are who will forget the horrid details of the crime--how A. Jackson Pepper, a farmer of Rush township, was foully murdered in his own barn on the night of October 19th, 1897. He had left his house, where he lived with his aged stepmother, known in the vicinage as "Aunt Sally," to go to the barn, just across the road, and husk corn. It was dark and the old gentleman took with him his lantern and a broom. His prolonged absence alarmed Aunt Sally, who had retired, and she got up and went to the barn; finding no light she returned to the house, rigged up an old lantern, and again made her way to the barn where she was horrified to find her aged stepson weltering in blood. Neighbors were quickly summoned and hurried to the scene. An examination of the unfortunate man disclosed the fact that life was not yet extinct, although his head was fearfully beaten, the skull fractured, and more than twenty distinct wounds in the scalp. Beside him lay a piece of an old whiffletree, which had been used as the implement of death, and it was bathed in the old man's blood; the grey hairs which clung to it told the story of the fiendishness of whoever used it. Near by were ears of freshly husked corn, showing that he had been at work when attacked. The victims hands and legs were bound with ropes and he had evidently been gagged with a handkerchief which was found wadded up and saturated with blood, indicating the motive for the crime to have been to secure the money the old couple were reputed to have hidden about the house. The unconscious man was tenderly carried to the house by Oliver Wilber, George Granger and George Pickett, and medical aid summoned. Dr. C. H. Warner promptly responded but the pulse was gone and the unequal struggle for life kept up by nature ended at three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when, possibly for the first time, the hand of Cain was placed upon the brow of some one unknown.
