Dillls J. Koons, nt Lemon, tills coun
ty, on Tiic-ulny cvcnlnir, wnB brought
to Tunkhannock Wednesday evenlnf?
by Constable Thomas M. Harding and
placed In jail to nwnlt tilal on the
chitrRo of muider. He was captured at
his own home after eludliiK the con
stable for nine hours. The facts In
the case, as gathered from the people
"Alio were piesent are as follows:
William Clark, a single nian,
lives about n mile and a half from
the town of Lemon, in this county.
uu Tuesday evening some of the neigh
bors happened along and stopped nt
his house. In the party were Dillls
Koons, Otis Whipple, Cotry Clark,
Will Com ad and u woman named Nel
lie Pinch. Theie wbh cider on hand
and the party pioceeded to enjoy them
selves. There had been tiouble before
this time between Whipple and Koons
over Whipple's wife, and under t'l"
influence of the elder the men h-nu
to quaitet. Which one struck the flint
blow no ono seems to know, but the
vere soon down on the tloor io"ctiu'i'
and befoie nny of the par., c mid Ir
ttrfero Whipple bad drawn the ltn"f-
and stabbed Koons tw ono
thiough the hcai t and ie I-t t'le
neck, seveilng the Jugular win, liber
wound being fatal. Koons died al
most immediately without being able
to speak. Whipple was brought down
here and seemed to be still under the
influence of the elder and talked In n
rambling manner about Konns bavin?
the knife In his hand and falling on
it, stabbing himself.
This is the only explanation he could
make,
Whlpple will have a hearing i
before 'Squire Kut:" today His tilal
will probably not occur until the April

Thete ate two enemies hard to cot,-

Is tiellel in wltthciaft. the other a love

"dead hands" cveorclred from be-
witched butter, and they hunt mjthl
cnl hates as often as living led game
Quito lately I was asked to visit a
maiden of half a century who wns
possessed with a "demmur." Now I
know Lizzie Iledmond I.s only suffering
fiom lonellnes.s, pure and simple. Her
tiny shunt, dumped down In a naimw

j den gotse miles or peat land and fields

"Ah! doctor datllnt," set earned Liz

"It's a live elemurr' And tho wUi

of suction ius well as the demmur un
der the breast bone. Dut sho clung to
the belief In the wise woman, npd I
was dismissed with Ignominy.
In Ireland wo do not lulte offense at
this kind of thing. I wrote to Lizzie's
landlord, Lore C , saying the wo
man was glowing "soft," nnd by re
turn post received a 1 note to pay
expenses of n chance for her. A short
spell In Dublin worked wonders. The
demmui' no longer set her heart n-gal-lopln',
nnd "the Joultlng of the train
stopped the beatln' ov her poolse."
My skill was equally Blighted by
another patient. She told me her liver
was trou ling her, nolntlnc nt the
same time to a spot high up under
her left arm. "God bless us, woman!"
I roared, "your liver does not Ho
there."
"I think I ought to know whero mv
own liver lies," was her disnlllcd, In

A third patient was more grnnde

being called In my "token" being a

what's the matter with ou, Mrs. Doo
lan?" "I'm thlnkln' that's for you to tell
mo," was the haughty response, Just

fne.
I have, of course, a due circle of pa
tients who firmly believe in every bolus
given by nny Ksculnplus To one such
went my friend, the vicar, lately.
"How aie vou today, Mrs. N'ealo?"
was the question addressed sympathe
tically to the greatest grumbler in Sal
lvboggln. "Mi1 'erv bid, vety bad. 'TIs the
desgestlon, your reverence! Like a

"la it always the same?" Inquired
the vlcai, hta eyes twinkling, but with
Immovable face (for we leatn to com
pose our countenances In Ireland).
"Nny, not at all, your reverence. 'TIs
often like a load ov bilcks, a-poundln'
an' a-poundln.' that's when the bees

smoke-grimed old faio brightened
"but the doctor God bless him Is af

AMERICAN BLUFF WON.
Yankee Tourist Didn't Propose' to Be
Left Out in the Cold,
fiom theeattle Times
"Here at home a bluff doesn't count
for much," said the globe trotter, "but
l m telling you that a good, stiff bluff,
with a cheeky Ametlcan behind It. is
worth a lot of money in Lutope. When
I got aiound to Nice last year the best
hotels woie crowded and I had to take
up with a small loom On the same
lloor was a Ueiman who was occupy
ing a suite, though not spending much
money or putting on uny great style.
One day there was a gieat row. The
Intullotd h.ul asked him ns a pattlcu
lat favot to vacate for a newcomer
nnd, of course, the man didn't pio
pose to be turned out. At the desk
was un Ameilcan I had tun acioss In
Venice a buyer for a Chicago orv
goods house. When the landlord an 1
the German began to gabble In ehoi js
the buyer pulled a. blank check fiom
his pocket .and reached for a pen and
said'
"All this talk Is of no use. I want
rooms here I will buy the hotel nnd
select my suite. Sir, what Is jour cash
pi Ice foi this hotel?"
"'You would buy the hotel!" ex
claimed the landlord as he threw up
bis hands In surptie.
"'Grounds and all, and I want It to
day. How much n million 'hree or
four' And what name shull I nil In on
the check?'
"Say now," laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to havo seen that thing
woik! The German had determined to
be ugly about It. but when he bumped
up against a man who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fan
cied he felt awed and humbled nnl
leady to quit The landloid figured
tint to tutu away such a Croesus
would niln his house, and It wasn't
half an hour before tho bluffer was
Installed In the suite and the German
wns chucked Into a dog hole on the
top tloor. And that wasn't all, mini
you. When they sent the buyer a bill
based on his supposed millions he got
up and thieateued to buy up the town
and stmt six soap factories to mnnlng,
and they cut every Item In two an i
begged his pardon to boot I don't b'-

but he Just walked ovet everythln:
and everybody for two weeks, and It
was current gossip that he owned the
whole of Chicago and a good share of
St. Louis and Cincinnati. Nothing but
cold bluff, which wouldn't havo taken
him Into nn Amerlcnn dance hall as a
deadhead, but It was equal to a letter
of credit for Jl, 000,000 over there."
