DID NOT SEE THE FIGHT.
Bees Return from the I. and of the Sago
llusli end Cattle Puncher.
About two years ago Harold Bees,
aged 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Bees,
of Danville, disappeared from home.
No trace was discovered of the lad until
two months later, when his Sunday
school teacher received a letter from
the boy. In which the runaway youth
stated that he was going to Texas to
witness the Cnrbntt-Fltassiinmons fight.
The' parents of tho boy sent word and
descriptions to the police of nearly ev
ery city in Texas In tho endeavor to In
dite the lad, but In vain. They dually
gave him up for deatl and some time
ago removed to this city. .
Yesterday, as Mrs. Hees was sitting
on the porch of her residence on (lib
son street, nearCapouse avenue, her at
tention was nttracted by the approach
of a ragged boy. In spite of his dilapi
dated condition Mrs. Hees had no dllli
eulty In recognizing her long lost son
nt a glance, and the welcome given him
was the kind to convince a wanderer
that home is the best place after all. .
Young Hees wns too weary to give a
detailed account of his adventures last
night, and his. friends were obliged to
liu contented with the knowledge that
, lie did not see tho fight.

lioach.
A short time ago a connection was
put In nt Plains, Luzerne county, be
tween the Erie and Wyoming Valley
railroad and the Central Railroad of
New Jersey and since that time rumor
has been rife to the effect that the
Central contemplates using the Erie
and Wyoming tracks for the purpose of
getting an entrance Into the central
part of Plttston, the present location
of the station at Cork Lane being some
what Inconvenient.
The connection made at Plains was
for the purpose of exchanging coal.
The Erie and Wyoming company lias
certain slzys of coal that the Central
company has not and vice-versa. An
agreement for an exchange of these
sizes was entered Into and the better
to facilitate the transfer a spur was
lid from the Central tracks to those
f the Erie and Wyoming near one of
the latter's collieries at Plains.
There is good reason to believe thnt
there Is a serious consideration of the
plan to use the Erie and Wyoming'
tracks to get a better entrance into
Pittston for passenger trains, although
olllclaln of the Central In this city who
were approached about the matter yes
terday professed to have no knowledge
of the scheme.

REPENTED OFTHE BARGAIN.
The Turn of Fronts Caused tho Husband
to Arrcit Ills Wife Whom Ho Loaned to
Anothar .Man as a Housekeeper.
About 10 o'clock last evening, Anton
Yonker, a German employed at the
plant of the Scranton Iron Fence com
puny, appeared at the ollice of Alder
man Bailey and procured a warrant for
file arrest of Alex Loserd, on the charge
of making threats. In giving Informa
tion against the man wanted in the case
Yonker told un Interesting story of
domestic life. According to his story.
Loserd. who Is a South Side steel work
tr, separated from his wife, Annie,
about three years ago. Ilpon leaving
her husband, Mrs. Loserd, who is a
good looking woman, about 45 years
old, had no way of earning a living, ex
cept In the capacity of a housekeeper.
About a year ago, Yonker, who Is
a bachelor, 6! years old. desired to se
cure the services of Mrs. Loserd ns
housekeeper. The woman was willing
to labor for Yonker, but feared her
husband. Anton then went to Loserd,
he states, and the latter signed a paper
giving his full consent to the arrange
ments, and promising not to molest
them. Mrs. Loserd went to work for
Yonker und presided over his apart
ments on Dencon street. All went well
until last evening, when Loserd sud
denly appeared accompanied by Special
(micer Uyers and arrested Mrs. i.osera
on a serious charge. At the same time,
It Is alleged. Loserd threatened the
life of Yonker. When Loserd and the
i. dicer stormed the residence of Mr.
Yonker, the latter made his escape by
jumping through a small window In the
rear of the house. When the constable
and his prisoner started, as they stat
ed, for the county jail, Yonker hast
ened -to the ofllce of the alderman and
mude his complaint. He also brought
Mr. Krugerman, manager of the fence
works, wjio was prepared to become
bondsman for Mrs. Loserd. They went
before Alderman Mlllnr at 11 o'clock
last night and secured the release of
Mrs. Loserd. who had been Incarcerat
ed in the station house, giving $"0U ball
for her appenrance at court.
Constable Block, late last night, was
looking for Loserd and Special Officer
Tlerney was seeking Mr. Yonker. One
of the allegations which Loserd makes
against his farmed-out wife Is that she
presented old man Yonker with an heir.

FOREST FIRE FIENDS.
Law Provides That tho County Commis

District Attorney John R. Jones re
ceived a communication yesterday
from Deputy Attorney General John
P. Elkin with reference to the protec
tion of timber land against forest fires.
In view of the fierce and destructive
forest fires that have for over a week
been raging in the East and West
mountains hereabouts the subject of
the eommunivatlou is of special Im
portance. It states that the law of Pennsylvania
imposes upon the commissioners of the
several counties the duty of appoint
ing persons under oath, who shall be re
quired to ferret out and bring to pun
ishment all persons who wilfully or
otherwise cause the burning of timber
lands, and to take measures to have
such fires extinguished where it can
be done, the expense to be paid out of
the county treasury.
District Attorney Jones will lay tho
matter before the commissioners and
will co-operate with them in prevent
ing forest fires and in apprehending
and punishing persons who start such
flrts wilfully or negligently.
