Daniels at the recent meeting of the
board of trade, will today begin an ac
tive canvass for stock In subscriptions
for the proposed now tin plate plant,
which they confidently expect will be
located In West Scranton.
In conversation with a Tribune man
last evening, Mr. Farr stated that al
ready he has met with much encour
agement and several well known busi
ness men have promised to take stock
In the new Industry.
"It will require considerable capital
to secure the plant," he said, "but 1
am satisfied that It will be the greatest
boom for West Scranton we have ever
had."
"If the moneyed men of this side
will only put their shoulders to th
wheel," continued Mr. Farr, "we will
be able to raise the required amount
by the first of- January. That Is the
time limit for the West Scranton peo
ple to show that they mean business
ond secure an Industry that will bo of
great benefit to the city and our people.
"Men who owe their success In life
to the start they received In West
Scranton should have sulllclcnt pride
In this locality to Invest their money
In an enterprise which will be con
trolled by local stockholders and bring
employment to our people. The plac
ing of valuable tracts of land on the
market for home sites has made It
possible for West Scranton to become
one of the best Industrial sections In
Northeastern Pennsylvania and I hope
this proposition will receive the re
cognition It deserves."

IT. B. Belts, of Grand View avenue,
was before Alderman Myers last night
on the Information of C. S. Watson, a
neighbor, who charged him with vio
latlng a city ordinance In discharging
firearms within the city limits. Tho
case grows out of the shooting of n
blooded dog owned by Watson, and
which was nt tho time In a lot adjoin
ing that of Betts. The defendant, it
appears, has been pestered of lato by
the visits of neighboring dogs, which
have tracked his porches and com
mitted other depredations not to h!3
liking. Ono of three of the canines, it
is stated, have suffered by his gun,
and Watson's dog was tho last to come
under the eye of the shooter.
Watson's dog was not killed, how
ever, nnd a further action of cruelty
to animals, and also one of trespass
In a claim for damages was accord
ingly brought. In the matter of vio
lating thn city ordinance there was n
summary conviction nnd the fine pro
vided was imposed ns well as ihe costs.
