NICHOLSON.
An article In the Scranton Tribune of
-last week so misrepresented the facts
in the Finn Pond caBe that we feel
it Is our duty to collect them. It is a
fact that J. W. Tiffany confessed
Jijdment niter a paper had been signed
y Bnylor nnd Tiffany, that tho titles
of each should not M prejudiced by tho
' settlement, nnd Unit Baylor should pay
two-Vnrds, and Tiffany one-third of the
costs. As.'the case was brought against
several parties, end as Baylor claimed
that Tiffany fished on part of waters
that there was no dl.spute as to Bay
lor's title, it was thought best by
those defending Tiffany that the offer
m.'Je by Baylor be ucccpted. There Is
no doubt as to Tiffany's being able to
hold his title to the pnrt of the pond
he claims.'r-Nlcholson Examiner, June

business for the past few days and was
stopping at the Junction.
It was while he was on his way to his
boarding house that he was attacked
and robbed by the outlaws. Auschlaug
was passing directly In front of the de
pot when one of two thugs, whom he
had just passed, walked up behind him,
and without any warning, dealt him a
blow on the head with some deadly
weapon. The man had Just time to cry
out for help, when a second blow felled
him unconscious to the pavement.
Auschlaug's cry of alarm had not been
heard, for although the affair took
place on Main street, no one responded
to the call, and before the crime was
discovered the would-be murderers had
robbed their victim and made off.
The fellows even went so far as to
take the stud out of Auschlaug's shirt
and take off tho unconscious man's
shoes and stockings In order to see If
anything of value could be discovered.
The fellows secured a small sum of
money und a few other articles of
value. i
Auschlaug was In one of the hotels
during the early part of the evening,
and It Is said made the remark that he
had plenty of money. It Is believed that
the remark was overheard by his as
sailants, with the result that they
awaited their opportunity to attack the
man as above described. The culprits
are as yet unknown.

MOVING LIVELY NOW
As stated when wc opened the High Grade Sill) Tllft llllg Sale, we,
were afraid that wc would find It hard to move these expensive goods,
even at half price. Wc coufess to making a mistake, for we've never
had livelier selling in any department than has been the case with
these rugs at just fifty cents on the dollar. True, they arc an unpre
cedented bargain bargains that could not be duplicated, were it not
that Kerr, Son & Co. 's stock was bought at ShcriiTs Sale at less than
half, price. The same remarks, of course, apply to otir high grade
Carpet stock, from which wc can sell you the best Body Brussels
Carpet made as low as 50 cents per yard, but it's Smyrna Rugs we're
talking today, and if you're interested, pardon us for saying that it
will be fo your advantage to call, for '
HALF PRICE OPPORTUNITIES
Don't come often in that line, and the full range of sizes won't hold
out much longer. Three illustrat'ons In values will suffice: They
represent the first quality of Smyrna Rugs made: Size 18x36 in., that
usually brings Jr. 75, sells for 87 cents. Size 30x60 in., listed at 4.25,
sells for 2.12. Size 6 ft. xo ft., for small rooms, that sold for $23,
goes at $11 50. There's lower grades if you want them, sires 30x60
inches, at $1.50 and $1.75 each.
