The big man or the clown and the Indian constituted the "Wild West Show " There were at least twenty others in costume. The lookers-on seemed to bo more in terested than those in dress, as they were continually figuring out who that party could possibly be and c%e,,.t0 the end they were in doubt. Those masked relieved themselves ol their dry K oods at ll;3o „ m .fter whicU all Joiacd i„ » ganoe. Atty. F. If. Ingham of LaPorte 8 recently purchased a "0" cor n< I <>( (ho Diston manufacturer, o) W "liamsport, and admirers his pur chase verj' much. Hon. Thos. V. Cooper, P. Mac Cully Esq., and Mr. J. W. Durham, all of Philadelphia and Mr. P. W. Smith of Reading, who are rusti catiVigr ft t the 'Mere, made LaPorte and Lake Mokoma a visit, on Tues day The party took a row on Lakt Mokoma. The Hon. Thos. V. anc •Judge Ingham occupied one boaf and were fishing for chube to feed the 41 handsome trout kept in tin box. One of the party unfortunate ly got his hook fast and while in the act of unfastening it capsized the boat ind both gentlemen plunged headforemost in the deep waters' o| Lake Mokoma. Judge Ingham in quired of the Senator if i )e in boy-hood days had learned to swin and with a favorably reply hot! pulled for the shore. Fortunately they were not in very deep water The Senator said about up to his watch pocket. The others of the party escaped any misfortunes. Mr. Mac Cully is on the Philadelphia JiuUi'm stuff and the people of the Quaker City will undoubtedly be made acquainted with the sad story of the deep. After the party had caught a sufficient number of chubs they proceeded tc the box where Hilly .Mover cut them up and fed the trcut. All were surprised at the size of the speckled beauties and said thev were the finest they ever saw. Lake Makoma bids fair tc be one of the best trout lakes in the B 'ate and when the time rolls around that all are allowed to drop an angle into its heaving bosom, we shall all be pleased to have with us the above mentioned party, THE CROUSE MYSTERY Arrests, It.a Said, to be Mado „t an Early Date. From the W.Uiamsport Republican July 25. Tuesday, when a Republican re porter spent a few hours at Lairds ville, he was informed by jncrsors ol good authority that very ?tron<> suspicion is developed on a bad character of that place of havina played a very important part in the iiirnm Crouse tragedy. Several ar rests will soon be made, as a brother of Mr. ( rouse has arrived fiom Ool umbia county and is looking into the matter mere deliritely. Although lie lias offered a reward of SI,OOO for the arrest of the party or parties who were interested in the horrible death of Li? brother, none has vet been made, and he says his object in wsitlng Lairds ville was to arrest the above mentioned intimated person. The particulars of an outrage of the most fiendish nature lias just come to lijjht in the suburbs of Smith ville, a small village about twelve miles north of Pittston. On Sunday night two Poladders named Kosh missed a trunk from their room containing *45 and some clothes. \ T o trace of the trunk was found until Wednesday night, when the wife of Thomas Trbir, who re sides close by the Polander's house, went to procure some wood which was stored under the house. - T n doing so she discovered the trunk and naturally gave the alarm This was the means of attracting quite a large crowd, among them n g the four Inlanders. Thev seeing the trunk became enraged •in' seizing Tobin beg an beating him, at the same time charging him with theft. His protestations of in nocence only increased their ancer and they dragged him to the Fair v.ew branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and tied him to the track with strong ropes. He lay r aC e downward with his whole bodv stretched out on the track. So tightly was he secured that he could not move. About 1 o'clock a coal train came in view. According to I ohm's story of the affair, he now gave up all hope and co.nmeced to pray. Fortunately the train was running up grade. The engineer saw Tobin's face move slightly. He whistled down brakes, and' when about ten yards from th 6 object on the track he jumped from the cab and running ahead saw the man's terrible predicament. He pulled out a knife and cut the rope just in time to save Tobin from being cut in pieces by the wheel. The Pol an . ders have been arrested aud com oa it ted to jail.
