A few evenings before Christmas, ns
was noted In Tho 'JJrlbune, John Nealls
and James Wnde, two well-known
young men of tho Nineteenth ward,
were attacked by six men, on their way
home, nnd bentcn very badly. Nealls

know of any action or utterances mndo
by them that would cause any ono to
seek revenge.

DEATH OF ADAM FRUECHTEU

In South Seranton who was better
or more avorably known than Mr.
Frucchtol. For over thirty years he
had been In the employ of the Laekn
wanna Iron and Steel company. He
had held many positions of trust, and
by employer and employe he was deep
ly respected. For several years he had
suffered with asthma and that disease,
with grip, caused his death yesterday
morning.
He was sixty years nnd six mouths
of age, the major number of his days
being spent here. He Is survived by
his wife and five children, who are:
Mrs. Jacob Galler, Miss Margaret
Fruechtel, Michael, Adam II. and John

plete recovery is certain.

tient will survive. Today his wounds

dition are looked for today.
