SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN.
Another Plttston Bridge Bobbery.
Lithuanian Merchant the Victim.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Plttston, April 21. Frank Spudls, un
married, ngeil about 38 years, a Lith
uanian merchant of this city, was
found on the west end of the ferry
bridge In West Plttston nt G o'clock
this morning, In a half-conscious con
dition, his I'lothlntr soaked with blood
from n bullet wound In the abdomen,
and his pockets turned Inside out. He
had been held up by three men about
1 o'clock this mornlntr, fatally shot and
afterward robbed.
The victim was taken to the Pltts
ton hospital, where It was found that
the bullet had entered near the abdo
men, dellectliiR to the right, passing
above the stomach, severing a large
and Important blood vein, and lodging
near the back. The Injury is a fatal
one, and the man Is hovering between
life and death.
Spudls regained consciousness for a
time and the story of the affair, as
told by him, Is as follows: On Mon
day night he went to Wilkes-IJarro to
nttend to legal affairs, and started for
home nt a late hour. Hy mistake ho
took a Luzerne borough car, and
learned his mistake upon arriving at
Dorranceton. It was too late to get a
"West Plttston car, and ho started to
walk toward his boarding house, which
Is near the cast end of the ferry bridge
In Plttston. Ho arrived at the bridge
(shortly after 1 o'clock, and was about
to start across when stopped by two
men, who asked him for a cigar. He
replied he had none and a few words
passed between them, when a third
man, who had been on the opposite
side of the bridge, came over to where
they were and as he drew near, pulled
n revolver and shot Spudls. The latter
fell to the sidewalk and one of the
men sat on his head while the other
two searched his clothing. A gold
watch and $1.S0 was all the reward
they received for their foul crime.
Spudls was then left lying along the
sidewalk until 6 o'clock this morning,
although several persons passed dur
ing the intervening hours, but they
evidently thought him a drunken man
and left him undisturbed. About 5
o'clock men on their way to work dis
covered the victim In a seml-qonsclous
condition and had him taken care of.
There Is no clue as to who were the
perpetrators of the crime, but Spudls
says they were English-speaking men.
The scene of the crime is between the
center of Plttston and West Plttston
and the spot on which the man wns
shot is within seventy-live yards of
several houses. Nothing whatever was
known of the crime until It was dis
covered this morning. It was on this
bridge that a man was thought to have
been thrown over Into the river in the
dead of night about three months ago,
screams for help followed by a loud
splash having been heard by people In
the vicinity at the time and footprints
having been seen in the snow on the
bridge.

"I think I would have been dead long ago if it had not boon for Peruna.
Six years ago I had la grippe very bad. Tho doctor came to eeo mo every
day, but I gradually grew worse. I told my husband I thought I would
surely die if I did not got relief soon.
"Ono day I picked up the newspaper and accidentally found a testi
monial of a woman who had boen cured of grip by Peruna. I told my hus
band I wnntod to try it. Ho went directly to the drug otoro and got a bot
tlo of Peruna. I could soe the improvement in a very short time and was
soon able to do my work. I continued using it until I was entirely cured."

thought to bo a disease confined to the

that catarrh mav affect any part of
the human body. All the organs of the
body are lined with mucous membrane;
all the passages of the body are also
lined with mucous membrane. Wher
ever there Is a mucous membrane
there catarrh may exist.
Peruna Is not a cure-all. It cures
catarrh. This Is all that Is claimed for
It.

BASEBALL.
PIRST PRACTICE GAME.
Manager Burnham's Men Lined Up
Yesterday Afternoon.
Tlio first real live practice of the
base ball season took place yesterday
afternoon, when 'Manager Burnham's
Pilgrims lined up against a collec
tion of amateur players, and for six
consecutive innings played fast Inter
esting ball. The gania was hardly
what might be called a close one, nor
might it be termed a pitcher's bat
tle, as ut the end of the sixth In
ning the scote stood 25-1, nnd whereas
the Yanigams had made but three
solitary hit off Miller and Kennedy,
the two tvtlrlers worked by Manager
Bumhum, the icgulars had been hit
ting both "Kid" Posner and Julius
Posner, who succeeded him in tho
box. with surprising regularity.
The latter two pitchers, however,
could hardly be blamed as the regu
lars would have been held down pret
ty closely had the Yanlgans done any
sort of fielding. Tho two teams lined
up as follows.
Regulars Ferguson, If.; .1. Oilrien. ss. ; Shell-
I ler, rf.; Knox, ef.; Melntjie, lb.; M. Poheity,
an.; "Pirate" trilrien, 2b.; 'loft, c.; Miller, p.,

Wells, 11., 2b, ; "Kid Posner,
The Regulars started oft with a
rush, scoring eight run In the first
inning, on a succession of hard drives
and very comical plays by Zang,
Mallott and other of the Yans. Mil
ler mnde the stnr hit of the Inning.
Tho young twlrler came to the bat
with threo men on bases, and smashed
the first ba'll pitched with terrific
force between right nnd center field,
scoring all three runners and himself
making second base.
Millerick, who was loaned to tho
Yanlgans by Manager Burnham,
opened their Inning with a hit, but
dledon base. The Regulars made
two more runs, and the Yans were
again blanked. In the third Inning
two moie tallies were added to tho
Regular's score and tho Yanlgans
then camo In to bat. Bliss, the first
man up, hit a beauty, landing on
one of Miller's choicest curves for a
three-base hit, the longest drive of tho
game. It fell far out In right field
across the race track, und was the
best hit of the afternoon. This so
unnerved Miller that he presented
"Kid" Posner, the next batter up,
with a base on balls, and with two
men on bases, Millerick stepped to
tho bat. He lined the ball to Mlko
Doherty, who threw him out at first,
Bliss scoring on the play and making
the Yanlsans one lonesome run. In
tho next three Innings, tho Regulur

cored Just thirteen moro runs, while
the Yanlgans -were blanked, Bliss,
however, getting In another hit, this
one a single.
While the game could hardly be
taken as a fair criterion of the ability
of Manager Burnham's nine, still It
must be said that the men showed
up exceedingly well.
The Infleldcrs played a fast, snapppy
game, handling grounders, fiys and
liners with equal case. Nono of the
outfielders had much work to do. Fer
guson, the left fielder nnd "Old Boy"
Schefllcr led at the bat, with four hits
apiece.
The veteran SchefTlcr looks to be In
the" very pink of condition nnd gam
boled around right field like a colt.
Shortstop O'Brien Is a lively young
ster, and Center Fielder Dick Knox
ran the bases cleverly.
Mclntyre, the first baseman. Is by
far the biggest man on the team, and
has a splendid bultd for his position.
He could hardly get his eyo on the
ball yesterday up to his last time
at the bat, when ho banged out onn
of Julius Posner's curves for a smash
ing two-bagger.
Second Baseman O'Brien Is also a
cleanly built flno-looklng player. The
ex-Pirate frisked around second gaily
yesterday afternoon and showed up
well with the stick.
Mike Doherty appears to bo In much
better condition than hb was last
year at this time and acquitted him
self finely at the third bag.
Both Millerick and Toft caught well
and Miller nnd Kennedy showed up
well In the box.
For the Yanlgans, Wells fielded
well and did the best batting.
This afternoon another game will be
played.

BASE BALL BREVITIES.
Pitcher T.eigh airlved in town jesteiday after
noon and will get into today's practice.
In Hamilton, Stahl and Fteeinan, Iloston has a
left-handed outfield, the. three men batting and
throwing left-lh.ndod.
Duck Freeman is working hard to beat his last
season's batting record, and Monday added an
other home run to the collection he has already
started. It wasn't made en the tiny lloton
grounds either, but was a terrific drive over the
Philadelphia fence. If Puck keeps on at this rate
lie will haie las,t season's lecoid smashed inside
of a month.
Klmira Monday played the Wnghamton team
of the New York State league an exhibition game
and was defeated by the score of 13-12. .limmy
Dean, of Scranton, who plajed second base for
Klmira, accepted nine out of ten rhances, and
made one run and one hit. Moss the old Sjra
erne shortstop, who played with cranton a short
time, put up a star game at second for Ding
hamton. The interest taken In the practice of the team
has pleased Manager Dnriiham vastly. Monday
there were easily 300 rooters on the giounds and
jthtenlay almost the cr.llrc grand stand was
filled and there were a large number of people
en the field, the entire attendance probably being
around 1.000. This seems to presage a profitable
season, and the enthusiasm of those present seems
an even moie favcrahle sign.
