Revolver in Hand of Neighbor Seriously Wounds Associate Judge. Charley Kahni, Neighbor of Judge Fires Three Shots; One Lodges in Richlin's Lett Side. Assailant Probably Demented. Ilenry Riehlin, associate judge of: this county, was seriously wounded by shots fired from a revolver in the hand of Charley Kahni, his in igh- , bor, Monday morning, and is now in j the Packer hospital at Sayre while his assailant Is confined in the La porte jail awaiting the result of the affray. TheTowanda Review prints' the following: Story of The Shooting. Judge Riehlin and Kahni live but a short distance, apart on the road leading from Overton to Dushore. Monday morning about 8 o'clock, the Judge accompanied by Elias Saynian, starkd for Dunhore in a long sleigh drawn by horses driven by Mr. Riehlin. After proceeding about three miles, or half way to their destination, they overtook Kahni who was walking toward Du shore. 'l'he Judge pulled up his horses and called out, "Jump on Charley and ride with us." At this com jrand Kahni pulled a revolver out of his pocket and pointed it at the judge whereupon he stopped the horses saying "Don't do that Charley; put that away. Just as he jumped from the sleigh, Kahni fired, and then twice more in quick succession. Riehlin fell but quickly jumped to his feet and ran around the house occupied by William Murray, the shooting taking place directly in front of the Murray home. Drove Kahn! Away. After the first shot Say man jumped from the sleigh and rushed toward Kahni, grabbing hold of him as he fired the last shot. Kahni broke loose from his grasp and started in the direction of his home, Saynian following. This angered Kahni and he called to Saynian not to follow or he won d shoot him. Judge Riehlin was admitted to the Murray home and Dr. Herrmann of Dushore was summoned. The doc tor found a bad bullet wound in the left side well down. One oftue low er ribs was broken, having been sev ered by the bullet. Other doctor were called and the wound probed, but without success. He was taken to Sayre on the evening train. Kahni Arrested. Constable Ira Cott of Dushore was notified and with a warrant issued by Justice Frank Lusch of Dushore, went to the home of Kahni and placed him under arrest. Kahni was eating dinner, apparently never thinking of his bloody deed. lit* made no resistance, hut accompanied the officer to Dushore, where he was arraigned before Justice Lusch on the charge of shooting with intent to maim and commit murder. "l Shot Mr. Riehlin." Reading the complaint tohim Jus tice Lusch said: "Are you guilty or not guilty?" "I shot Mr. Riehlin," calmly re plied the. prisoner, exhibiting not the least sign of emotion. Justice Jusch committed the p is oner to the county jail at Lipoite to await the outcome of Judge Rich lin's wound. Could Not Avoid It That Kahni is demented is made plain by the fact that after the hear ing one of his friends asked him why he shot the Judge, to which he replie,'- "l tried nut to do it, but failed; n just as if I must so I did." Judge Riehlin and Kahni have lived neighbors for a good many years, and never had any trouble and the only excuse that can he found for Kahni is that he was la boring under the delusion that the judge was his enemy and m u-t be pu out of the way. STABBING AFFRAY j AT BEHMCE WEDDING. Foreigners Celebrate with Kniveo—Two in Jail Here.

Herbert Kester of Warburton Hill Forks township, died Monday night at 10 o'clock, in the Sayre hospital, after a four weeks' illness of Typhoid fever. Overexertion in trailing a 3GO pound bear a long distance fol lowed by a thrilling battle in which the hear was slain, is believed to have brought on the disease which resulted in the young imui'sdeath. Herbert Kester, had he lived un til March, would have reached his majority, lie was an exceptionally bright young fellow, industrious, ambitious and admired by all Who knew him. His genial, manly ways won him the friendship of all with whom he came in contact, and hi.- death comes as a cru-sihng blow, not only to bis parents, brothers and sis ters, but to a host of warm friends.

NEARLY A MILE HIGH GOESJUEH PAW Judges' Record at Los Angeles Saya He Reached 5,000 Feet In His Biplane. Aviation Camp, Los Angeles, Jan. 18. —Louis Paulhan, the French avia tor, broke all official and unofficial re cords for altitude in a heavler-than alr machine, by flying In a French bi plane to a height of more than 4,000 foet and descending safely after 50 minutes 46 1-5 seconds in the air. Owing to difficulties of measure ment the exact height reached Is not known, but there Is no doubt that Paulhan exceeded Latham's Mourme lon record of 3,000 feet, the previous best. The instrument on Paulhan's machine registered the greatest height at 4,600 feet. The judges' record of his altitude, which Is still to be sanc tioned officially, was 1,524 meters, ap proximately 5,000 feet. The time of descent was 7 minutes 30 seconds. Paulhan, who Is the idol of the crowd made his record shortly after losing the speed record of the course to Glenn H. Curtlss. The Frenchman, using an engine that had Just arrived from Paris, had been on the course all afternoon. He had circled the course again and again, skidding and dipping and swing ing corners In a daring fashion that mn.de his wife shiver with fright. The sun was low toward the sea and the shadows had begun to gather when PauWian went up for the height re< ord. The wind barely stirred. Cort landt Field Bishop, President of the Aero Club of America, stood in front of the Judges' stand. As Paulhan rose in the air he bent low his gray-capned head and smiled as he made a short circle over the 50,000 spectirtors. Cur tlss had previously tried the higher currents and come down. Paulhan pointed north, went up a thousand feet passed over the centre of the field again, then turned north and up again. The crowd watched breathlessly as the Frenchman and his machine rapidly became a speck in the gathering twilight. At a height of 1,300 feet Paulhan described a great circle to feel the currents. By this time he was a mile and a half from camp. Two thousand feet high and still climbing. Then when he was as nearly out of sight as he could be without disappearing Paul han began to descend, much to the re lief of the spectators. He came down easily in front of the grandstand after huving risen to the plane of the mountain peaks. As he leaped from his machine, Wieeks glow ing and eyes flashing, he was seized by his frionds and carried to frhe grandstand, w.here he bared his*head amid a thunderous sound of cheers.
