Sunday niht lust Si ay from Ahioslo an
was binder the iiitluenee of liiiuor. There
were oilier youiiK men with him In a
similar state. They used the must foul
and profane language all along the way
and showed themselves to be rowdies of
the first water.
Itunnell was the conductor and he at
tempted to eject Lankan, who was the
most offensive, from the car. Idtnffan
was just looking for an opportunity to
flKht and he pitched Into the conductor
and used him up severely. There was a
warrant sworn out for his arrest, but
he eluded the law until yesterday. Spe
clal Officer Jack Tlerney arrested him.
OFFER REWARD OF $200.
County Commissioners Will Pay It lor
Arrest and Conviction of Mrs.
Westcott's Murderer.
County fVinmisstoners John Dehiuth,
S. W. Roberts and C.ileS Roberts decided
yesterday to offer a reward of $200 fur
the capture of (bulge Van Horn, the
murderer of Sirs. Josephine Wescolt,
and they have published official adver
tisenients in nil the city daily newsptf
pels to that effect.
The county commissioners were wait
ing fur tlie action of the coroner's jury.
The verdict rendered Wednesday night,
declaring that Sirs. Wescott was mur
dered and charging Van Horn with the
crime, brought the cae officially to the
- . . , ' : I .1.....
nonce oi ine commissioners miu inry
immediately agreed upon offering the
reward to the amount before stated.
.Neither the police nor County Detec
tive l.eyshon appear to know more
about the murderer's hiding place now
than they did the day after he stained
his hands with the woman's blood. Ihey
seem to think, though, that It will not
be lomr before he Is caught.
"It Is a most difficult thing." said
Chler Kobling, "for a murderer to es
cape, no matter what facilities ho had
ut his command. He may travel across
the seas and over the continents, but
sooner or later he will run to the end of
bis rope." Tills was exemplified In the
case of Cresccnzo Merolo, the lirst man
huniri'd In this county. He got to Italy
and lived there nearly a. year, but after
all he was captured.
WILL START A CHASI1.
Van Horn lias very little money and
he is well known. The offered by
the county commissioners and the $50
by SlayoV Hailey and Chief of Police
Robllng will go a good ways toward
starting a chase after him .which will
hardly fail to result In his capture.
The effect the offer of a reward Is
having was attested In the stntlon
bouse last night about It o'clock when
two citizens living In the neighborhood
ol the Westfott house, came 'Seeking
Lieutenant Davis to complain of the
veritable hordes of amateur detectives
who were scouring the hack yards, nos
ing through the outhouses and even
prying Into the cellars.
Some Imy reported during the even
ing that he saw Van Horn somewhere
in the locality. This brought all the
sleuths who are working on the case to
that immediate vicinity and caused a
dozen or more wouldbe Vldocqs to turn
detectives at once. Police were sent
down to order the disturbers to quit
the private premises.
AT THE HOSPITALS.
TnwCnx'H Brought to l.aekauaiina
and One lo .Hose Taylor.
William Fitzgerald, of SOS North Slain
iiveiiue, employed at the blast furnace,
was scalded with hot water on the

His burns are painful, but not serious.
Dr. Fish attended him.

nue, an Italian employed in the West
Ridge slope, was squeezed between a
car and a prop and his chest was
bruised, but he will be aide to resume
work in a week. He was takeh to the
Lackawanna hospital.

40 years old nnd married, wus hurt by
a fall of rock In the Central shaft ami

was resting quite comfortably wllh a
fair chance for recovery.
Drs. Garvey, Murphy and Winters
were called to attend him. They did
not probe for the bullet, and he still
carries It In his head, with the indica
tion that It will remain there if he sur
vives in til is case. It would be danger

to a crevasse, some four feet wide,
which about half of their number had
crossed, when they were startled by a
rumbling sound resembling tin roar of

Inslant the earth trembled and smoke
nr.d Fteain worn seen issuing from a
cliff directly above them.
Air seemed tilled with flying rocks
and on avalanche of bowlders came
tearing down the mountain sldo direct
ly toward the point where the little
knot of mountaineers were staidinfr.
Ore of the largest bowlders struck
near Sliss Fay Killingswortli nnd sh
was lifted Into the air, the body being
wistcd Into a circle so that hev hands
and .'et touched, nnd thrown into a
creva'-se ten feot deep. She was b. r
led under rocks and dirt, but escaped

court this evening on tlie charge of
daubing a. saloon sign with whitewash.
Many citizens and business men hail
petitioned tlie city council not to allow
WHY.
do j'ou persist iu using
those old chipped dishes?
You probably never knew
j'ou could buy a 114
piece Havilaud & Co.
Krenclt China Decorated
Dinner Set for $34.00,
an open stock pattern at
that. You need not buy
the whole setfor a small
family you could possi
bly select what you need
lor $15.00 or less. Havi
laud China is cheapest
because it is tough and
when chipped does not
turn black. There are a
great many people 'who
are replacing broken
dishes from our open
stock patterns. It pays
them, it will pay you.
