HIT AN INNOCENT DUMMY 1
A Pole Who Was Loaded With Beer
Knocked the Wooden Figure
Through a Show Window.
Anthony Willakawlcz staggered down
East Centre street under a heavy load of
beer. A clothing dummy standing in
front of Max Supowltz's store attracted
his attention, and he stopped. Whether
Willakawlcz imagined that the dummy
was a human being and was staring at
him insolently is not known, but, at all
events, he exclaimed, "This Jew must die!"
and dealt the dummy a blow on its im
passive face that sent the thing bodily
through the show window. Mr. Supowltz
and his son protested and Willakawlcz
attacked them, after which he ran away.
Constable Glblln chased and caught him
and Justice Shoemaker put him under
J300 ball for trial at court.
John P. Boehm, the North Main street
saloonkeeper, was prosecutor before
Justice Shoemaker last night in a case
against two young men named George
Beresford and John Prosser, Jr., in which
he charged them with stealing a keg of
be r. It was taken from the porch In front
of the saloon. The accused made good the
loss, paid the costs and were discharged.
A large pane of glass in the front door
of Hooks & Brown's store, on North Main
street; was smashed Saturday night by
some young men who were skylarking
about the-place. The firm is out about
four dollars for repairs and there Is no
clue to the mischief-makers. They ran
away after the glass was broken and the
police did not put in an appearance uutil
some time after. The affair occuixKI at
about seven o'clock: in the evening.

A DEMAND
FOR FLOUR.
Midnight Raid Made on a Grocer's
Warehouse.
TWO MEN UNDER ARREST.
They and a Third Marauder Carried Off
a Tnousand Pounds of Flour Little
of the Booty Recovered.
A burglary was committed at Melus
ksy & Sons' warehouse, ou North Bowers
street, Saturday night, and two of th
guilty parties are In jail. A third one is
still at large, but will in all probability
be caught soon. About ten hundred
pounds of flour was carried from the
warehouse and only 150 pounds has been
recovered.
Yesterday morning Councilman Melus-
key, who is a member of the firm robbed,
was notified that the warehouse door was
open and showed marks of violence. A
visit to the place showed that the lock of
the door had been broken and an investl
gatlon inside led to the discovery of the
loss of flour. Chief of Police O'Hara was
notified and upon descriptions furnished
by residents In the vicinity he arrested
Samuel Starr, of East Apple alley, and
Edward Walters, of West Oak street.
The men at first denied their guilt, but
subsequently confessed to stealing two
100-pound bags of flour. They claimed
that the lock was broken when thpxr
f visited the place. They were committed
to'the Pottsvllle jail this morning by
Justice Cardin.
Three 50-pound bags of flour- were
found in a closet of the garret In Wal
ters' house, thus disproving the story of
the men that they only stole two bags.
xuey also claimed mat they bad no ac
complice, but residents of the neighbor
hood say that one man stood guard out
side the warehouse while two men were
at work inside No alarm was given be
cause is was thought at the time that the
men were employes of the Meluskey'B.
Starr is 29 years of age and has a wife
and two children. He denies that he has
ever-been nrrosted'lsefore'and asserts thabt
he was half drnnkr Saturday when he-J nor have I bneatataUinr wltlr thewell

Walters is better known to the pollcev
He has been in jail several time and
served a term for stealing meat from
Tabor's bntcher shop, on East Centre
street.
The wives of the men were trvinc to
bring about a settlement of the case to-!
day, but the Meluskeys refused to con
sider overtures in the absence of a restora
tion of the eight hundred or more pounds
of missing flour.
