BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY On account of ill health of owner, a long established mercan- tile business in this valley is ered for wick. sale at go per Mixed Him Up W th a Fake| “Black Hand" Story, Vagrant ~-Escapes Indictment | “Yellow journalism” is said to responsible for the action of the grand jury in failing to fiad an indictment against Geo. arrested here on the complaint of Ike Samuels some ten days ago. Prentice demanded a hearing ‘and evidence was offered to show that he had been begging from door to door, that he had no occupation and that his only meang of suste- nance was in asking for money and food. When questioned by the committing magistrate Prentice admitted that he had not worked in over a month and that during that time he had obtained his living by begging. Prentice was held to court and in default of bail was taken to Towanda. Shortly after his hearing Ike Samuels, the com plainant, received an alleged “black hand" letter trom a local wag. The letter was in the nature of a joke but a representative of the Associ- ated Press sent the story over the country broadcast. Now it is al- leged that certain members of the grand jury read these dispatches and got the “black hand” story mixed up with . Prentice, with the result that the whole case was considered as a huge joke and Prentice was released, the prose- cuting witness, Ike Samuels, being charged with the costs, While it may not be the province of a newspaper to criticise the action of the grand jury, it appears, nevertheless, that in this particular case there has been a flagrant miscarriage of justice. The ses- sions of the jury are of the star chamber variety and no one except the district attorney and the mem- bers of the jury are supposed to know what has been going on. In this case, however, one of the jurors has made statements which furnishes the basis of this article, and bas no hesitancy in saying that the jury believed that the charge against Prentice was con- founded with the “black hand" joke. The real facts in the case, how- ever, place it in a different light Prentice was clearly a tramp. He had no occupation and it was shown that he had been begging his living in this county. It was also shown that he had threatened to break into Samuel's jewelry store. Let. ters from the police authorities of Binghamton and Susquehanna stated that he was wanted in both places on charges of a more serious nature than begging. Summed up in a nut shell, Prentice is a decid- edly bad egg and according to his own statements should be doing service for the state. If he was not a vagrant, on the showipg made by the commonwealth, the vagran- cy laws which are now a part of the statues of Pennsylvania may as well be erased from the books DAYS ROWING LONGER The days are growing longer now at both ends. The sun sets nearly twenty minutes later than it did and rises two minutes earlier. Hereafter until about the 20th of | June the days will lengthen one minute in the morning and also one minute at night. By the end of this month the, days will have gained fourteen ‘minutes in the mornibg and forty-three minutes in the evening. An hour's con sumption will be taken from the gas bill. “THE PRINGESS BEGGAR” Miss Paula Edwards and com. | pany of eighty people will appear | at the Loomis on Thursday next! in the new comic opera, “The Prin | cess Beggar" This isone of Hur- | bert Bros." attractions, at pregent | appearing at the Star Theatre, Buf | the Home of Her Sister on North Elmer Avenue This Morning Miss Stella Bosworth, 27 years of age, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph W.
