Steps Were Taken to Organize
“a Local Union to Affiliate with
AF. of L
The musicians of Sayre, Athens
and Waverly held a meeting in
Stone's hall at the latter place
yesterday afternoon at five o'clock
for the purpose of discussing plans
for the formation of a local union
to be under the jurisdiction of the
American federation of labor, For
some time the question of organiz~
ing a union has been discussed to
a considerable extent, and recently
those interested have sent for a
blank charter, During last week,
however, it was decided that it was
best to call all the musicians togeth-
er that cach might have opportun-
ity to express his views. The mect
ing was well attended and those
present were mostly band and
orchestra players. The matter
was thoroughly discussed in all
its phases, and it was finally decid-
ed to appoint an examining cOm-
mittee to pass upon the eligibility
of proposed members. The com-
mittee consists of Messrs. Krom of
Waverly, Tighe of Waverly, and
Taylor of Sayre. It will be the
duty of this committee to examine
each applicant and ascertain his
fitness, both as to ability and moral
character. The mecting adjourned

months. This will mean that Mike

ty bastile, as he has no money
with which to pay the fine and
costs, and will therefore be com-
pelled to serve the time in licu
thereof.

His Dead Body Was Found Near
Laceyville Yesterday Morning
The dead body of A. G, Thomas,
a resident of Dunmore, this state,
was found a short distance from
the Lehigh tracks at an early hour
yesterday morning. The right leg
below the knee was crushed to a
pulp, and a pool of blood plainly
told that the man had bled to
death. There is an air of mystery
surrounding the case. Thomas’
family say that when he left home
he did not say where he was going,
but it is presumed that he went to
Coxton and boarded a Lehigh Val-
ley westbound freight train at that
point When the freight train
reached Laceyville it was necessary
to take a siding in order to allow
trains 5 and 19 to pass. It is
thought that Thomas was standing
on the bumpers and was thrown
underncath the wheels when the
engineer of the train applied the
air. Fromthe appearance of the
tracks only one truck passed over
Thomas’ leg and then it is pre-
sumed that he managed to drag
himself out of danger, as the train
was running slowly. Itis also bes
lieved that he managed to drag
himself at least twenty fect from the
track as there were pools of blood
found at stated intervals between
the tracks and the point where his
dead body was found. A coroner
did not think a inquest was neces-
sary. The body was taken to the
Laceyville station and later re-
moved to his home at Dunmore,
Hc was a married man and had a
family of children.
BOY SHOT WHILE
HUNTING COONS
Ball Entered the Left Leg but
the Wound Will Proably Not
Prove Serious
Clarence Matison, a 14 year
old boy who resides with his par-
ents near Camptown, was brought
to the hospital yesterday afternoon
suffering from a wound in the calf
of the left leg, which he received
while coon hunting yesterday.
The lad, accompanied by his cous
in, also a young boy, went out yes.
terday afternoon in search of coons.
They sighted one and immediately
gave chase. While running the
22 calibre: rifle in the haads of
Matison's cousin exploded. The
ball entered Matison's left leg just
below the knee. He was brought
to this place on No. 1 and immedi
ately taken to the hospital. The
surgeons at that institution probed
for the ball but were unable to find
it. Unless tetanus should develop
the lad will recover rapidly, as the
size of the bullet was small, the
wound in itself not being a serious
IGE CRU SHORT
The weather of the past two
weeks has been beautiful for every
one except the ice men, The latter
say that unless March brings a
taste of real winter weather the
crop will be decidedly short and
the prices altitudinous. When the
mercury climbs to the go mark
next summer and there is a clamor
for ice-cold lemonade and other
refreshing drinks, the ice man will
get even. “Why yes, we have ice
