JOHN P. ELKIN, of Indiana county
LEADERS TALKED
THE CASE OVHR
HARKISBUKG. Fa . June 8.-The
question as to whether the seuatoiial
vacancy oreated by the death of Sen
ator Quay shall he filled by appoint
ment or by an extra session of the
legislature is still undetermined.
The whole subject was gone over
between Governor Fennypaeker,lnsur
ance Commissioner Durham and Sen
ator Penrose at a conference last night
at the executive mansion. The gover
nor's visitors said tlus morning be
foie returning to Philadelphia that no
conclusion was reached and no fonnal
action would be taken for several i
days.
While in Harrisburg Messrs. Penrose
and Durham also conferred with other
utate officials and members of the Re
publican state committee and county
party leaders in this locality. I lie
opiuion prevails here that the Gover
nor will not call an extra session of
the Legislature if lie is convinced the
vacancy can be tilled by appointment.
The party leaders do not want an
extra session if it can be avoided and
hope the governor can see his way
clear to make an appointment. It is
bhlieved heie that there would have
been no doubt of the election of George
T. Oliver, of Pittsburg, if he had con
sented to accept and that the Senator
will come from Allegheny county.
SHOT HIS WIFE
THEN HIMSELF
Great excitement was caused at Slia
mokin, Tuesday evening when Harry
T. Wolf shot his wife ou the street at
that place and theu turning the re
volver on himself sent a bullet into
his heart dying almost instantly. Mrs.
Wolf was shot in the side and was tak
en to the Mary M Packer hospital at
Suubury. It is believed that she will
recover.
Wolf's father is a shoo merchant at
Lewisburg ami although claiming that
place as his home he has only been
there at intervals during the past ten
years. Mrs. Wolf's parents reside in
Dauphin county. Shortly after Wolf
and his wife were married they could
not agiee and as a result there was
trouble between them almost constant
ly. Last December while visiting at
Shamokln, Mrs. Wolt bad her husband
arrested charging him with assault
aud battery and when she appeared at
the Justice's office she presented a
sorry appearance her face being badly
braised where her husband had struck
her. When brought before the Jus
tice for a bearing Wolf was sentenced
to serve thirty days in the Northum
berland county prison. Following this
trouble aud when Wolf was brought to
Sunbury to serve his sentence Mrs.
Wolf decided that she could not live
with him any longer aud she accord
ingly went to Altooua where she se
cured employment. After serving his
sentence, when released Wolf learned
where his wife had gone and lie fol
lowed her. When lie met her at Al
tooua be created such a scene that the
police were summoned but through
the pleadings of bis wife be was not
placed under arrest.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Wolf again
left him and came toShamokin to vis
it her sister-in-law, Mrs. Lewis ('amp
bell and later Wolf followed her. More
trouble occurred between them and
Wolf iiad his wife arrested last Thurs
day, charging her with assault and
battery. The hearing was fixed for
Tuesday evening and theu Wolf went
back to Altoona. He returned to Sha
mokiu, Tuesday and was present at
the hearing before Justice of the Peace
Lloyd. After hearing Lloyd dismissed
the case against Mrs. Wolf and theu
she wanted to arrest her husband
charging him with desertion,non sup
port and assault and battery. The
Justice prevailed upon her not to do
so, as dii also her siser-in-law, Mrs.
Oaiupbell who was with her at the
time. Wolf became angry at the de
cision of the Justice Lloyd aud when
be left the office lie exclaimed with an
oath "I'll have justice through some
one and she will never come down
these steps alive again." Mrs. Wolf
and Mrs. Campbell left the office to
gether and met Wolf who was wait
ing for them a short distance away.
As soon as she came up with him and
before any words passed between the
two Wolf drew a thirty-eight calibre
revolver from his pocket and pointing
it directly at his wife shot her in the
left side near the back. Justice Lloyd
hearing the shot fired rushed to the
sceue of the shooting. Before the Jus
tice could reach him Wolt turned the
revolver upon himself and (irod, the
bullet penetrating the lower portion
of his heart causing almost instant
death. Mrs. Wolf after being shot fell
into the arms of her sister-in-law and
was taken to Shissler's drug store
where a physician was summoned.
Realizing that her condiion was ser
ioDH arrangements were made anil Mrs
Wolf WHH taken to the hospital at Sun
bury on the 9:14 Reading passenger
train. Wolf's body was taken to an
undertakers establishment to be pre
pared tor burial and was taken to
Lewisburg Wednesday morning to the
home of his parents.
Small Boy Breaks His Ann.
Francis Hartman, Jr. ,of Welsh Hill
yesterday afternoon sustained a very
bad fracture of his right arm. The lit
tie tellow was playing about the yarl
with another boy while his father was
occupied with sodding the lawn.
He had beeu carrying sod for his
father but stopped for a moment and
began to tossle with his companion.
While playing he was thrown violent
ly, striking the ground with his elhow
in such a way as to cause a T-shaped
fracture of the humerus involving the
elbow joint.
Dr. Paules was called, who set the

LEARN THE LAW
BEPORE YOU PISH
Ou Wednesday next—Jui.e 15—the
jass fishing seasou will open. This
icasou formerly opened on May 30, but
mder the new law it was made two
weeks later. Fishermen and prospec
tive fishermen, should familiarize
themselves with the provision* ot the
new game law. The taut that the suo
tish family, under the new statute,are
protected, was first remain be re <1 when,
the other day, two Lewieburg gentle
men were arrested and fined for tak
ing "sunuies" before the season opeu
ad—June 15. There is no specified pro
hibited size relative to sunfish, but
they are protected as to season.
No rock bass under five inches in
length must be taken, the law requir
ing that all uuder this size to be
thrown back immediately. The rock
bass to the uninitiated does not look
unlike a sunfish in shape; they school
much as do "sunuies," in eddies and
about rock bottomed pools, so that the
river angler needs look sharp else be
keeps the prohibited five-inch rock
bass for the somewhat scorned "sun
uies. "
Black bass to be keepable, must mea
sure seven inches. The indications are
that bass fishing will be good this sea
son, especially in the largo creeks, in
to which the ravenous carp have not
swarmed. As a whole trout fishing
has been unfavorable this season, and
the local angler is expecting to make
up for lost time when it comes to bast
fishing.
