FAY HT LAO
Card Party Interrupted by An
Italian who Uses His Stiletto |
—Victim Brought to the Hos-
pital at This Place
With his body pierced in two
places by the blade of a stilleto in
the hands of a native of Italy, Joe
Dorfner, a German laborer of La-
quin, was brought to the hospital
at this place shortly before noon.
While the man's injuries are of a
serious nature it is not thought
that they will prove fatal. Dorfaer
was mixed up in a sort of a free
for all fight which occured at his
boarding place in Laquin last night.
It appears that there was al
Christmas party in progress during |
which the growler was rushed sev- |
eral times. A number of Hun-
ganans who lived next door to the |
house had been invited to the |
party and their presence was ob- |
jected to by an Italian boarder who |
had retired to an upstairs room but|
who declared that he could not
sleep on account of the noise made
by the Hungarians. The Italian]
came down stairs into the room |
where the party was playing cards |
and drinking beer. He referred to |
the Hungarians in uncompliment- |
ary terms, and a fight followed.
The Italian drew a stilleto and
during the melee it is claimed that |
he struck Dorfner twice with the |
weapon. The first thrust entered |
Dorfaer’s body just above the heart
while the second blow cut a hole |
just underneath the vital organ |
The latter wound is considered the |
more dangerous as the pulmonary |
cavity has evidently been punc- |
tured. The Italian who did the
cutting has escaped

UNOUE CHRISTMAS GIFT
Superintendent C. W, Kinney
and his chief clerk, Harry Shelly,
of the Pennsylvania division of the
Lehigh, were the recipients of |
unique and highly prized Christ-
mas gifts from the Galena Signal
Oil company of Franklin, this state.
The gifts are alike and therefore
a description of one will suffice.
At first glance the gift appears to
be a locomotive lubricator, with
its highly polished frame and sur-
rounded by glass. A closer in-
spection, however, reveals the fact
that the gift is a clock, unique in
its mechanism and involving al
decidedly new and novel idea. On |
the interior is an automatic cylin-|
der, evidently made in sections
On the top section are twelve little
doors, which close up like the folds |
of a fan. The bottom section is
like the top only there are sixty |
doors instead of twelve. The
doors in the top section are num-
bered from 1 to 12 and the doors
in the bottom section are numbered
from 1 to 5g, the remaining door
of the 60 bearing the word
“o'clock.” The clock is wound
and set and ticks like any clock
but instead of hands pointing the
hours and the minutes the little
doors indicate the time. The doors
on the top of the cylinder indicate
the hour while the door in the bot-
tom section tell the minute or min-
utes past the hour. The timepiece
is decidedly original and nothing
like it has before been seen in
OPERATOR KILLED
Alfred Tyley, a telegraph opera-
tor in the employ of the Lehigh
Valley, was crushed to death Sat-
urday morning at Catasauqua, a
small station on the Lehigh divis-
ion. Tyley was in a signal tower,
when JBi, a symbol train, passed
the tower. A break beam fell and
the car attached to it side swiped,
crashing into the signal station
completely demolishing it. Tyley
was in the station at the time and
was buried under the debris, his
life being instantly blotted out.
Five cars in the train were smashed

Thieves Effect Entrance by
Means of Skeleton Key and

IF
dise
store on Packer avenue was broken
into and robbed of $150 in mer-
men’s hats, shirts and furnishings.
Entrance was effected by means of
a skeleton key, which easily un-
locked the front door. The robbery
was reported to the local police on
the following morning.
A number of clues have been
followed but at the present time it
looks as if the guilty parties would
escape justice. This is the second
time that the store has been enters
ed in the same manner and mer~
chandise taken. Both jobs are
thought to have been the work of
local miscreants

FOWLER WAS ABUSIVE
Leroy Fowler paid one dollar to
{the borough treasury and two
| dollars costs for the privilege of
making a nuisance of himself on
Packer avenue Saturday night.
Fowler and a companion went into
{the Wilbur house barroom and
|asked for refreshments. Both
| were considerably under the
influence of invigorating stimu-
lants, and the bartender refused to
give them anything to drink.
Fowler began abusing the bartend
er, and the latter ordered him out
of the house. On the street Fow-
ler continued his abuse, inter-
spersed with a variety of vile and
obscene language, until an officer
appeared and placed him under
arrest. Before Justice Gay he
pleaded guilty and was fined as
above stated

Howard Ferns, who has given

Saturday night by Chief Walsh
Ferris was on Packer avenue ina
drunken condition and the officer
told him to go home. He started
in that direction but a few minutes
later the chief was approached by
an excited son of Italy who in a
mixture of Italian and English
claimed that he had been assaulted
by a man answering Ferris' des-
cniption. Ferris was found on
Lockhart street and placed under
arrest. Justice Gay allowed him
to go the following morning
By many young Ferris is beliey-

CHRISTMAS IN SAYRE
That the residents of this valley
have enjoyed a merry Christmas
there can be no doubt. The mer-
chants report the busiest and most
successful season in the history of
the three towns. Saturday even
ing the business streets of Waverly,
Sayre and Athens swarmed with
late holiday shoppers. To the
causual observer it looked as if
nearly every one had delayed pur-
chasing gifts until the last minute.
The stores in Sayre where Christ.
mas novelties and toys were on
display were alive with men, wom-
en and children. An army of
extra clerks were needed in the
majority of the places to wait upon
the long line of customers, The
trolley cars were crowded until
nearly 12 o'clock and upon nearly
all of them standing room was at a
premium,
