DOWNFALL Of FIIANK CI.A11K , The sentencing of Frank Clark of York to the penitentiary for breaking Into a saloon and stealing a drink is the sad ending of the career of a ouco prosperous farmer , Clark n few years ago commenced with nothing and through his industry , sobriety and frugality acquired a splendid farm but a short distance from York and had it finely stocked. Pros perity proved too much for him and ho took to drink. Ho neglected his crops and stock and It was not long before ho had his farm heavily mortgaged. The money thus ac quired wont into the tills of the vendors of whisky , and the splendid comi > etonce slipped from his lingers , leaving him only a team of horses. Ho then went to York and went into the dray business , but his love for liquor soon robbed him of his horses and the scanty furniture In his homo. Finally ho found himself without a cent on earth with which to buy a drink and yielding to the insatiable craving for stimu lants ho broke Into the saloon where ho had squandered thousands of dollars and for the last time filled himself with Intoxicants. Ho was found dead drunk by the proprietor and was arrested for house-breaking. Ho was tried and convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary , but as his attorney believes the IKMinlty too severe ho has appealed the case to the supreme court for n reversal of the de cision.
