Petition Loses
Ordered: That Leona Lord bo
reinundetl to the care of the
sheriff and to await the ac-.
tion of the next grand Jury,
without ball.
A. T. SEARLE, P.J.
The petition for the writ of
habeas corpus by which Leona Lord,
held with Sam Reed on the charge
of having killed Silas E. Lord In
the boundary line fracas July 12 at
Equlnunk, seeks to get out of the
Jail, was heard by Judge A. T.
Searle of the Wayne county court
In chambers at 2 o'clock this after
noon. '
The hearing, as had been antici
pated, was closely guarded. Aside
from the officials district attorney,
sheriff and coroner and principal,
counsel and witnesses, nobody got
into the judge's room. The news
papermen waited outside. There are
county officials who think the Reed
and Lord case has already received
a dangerous amount of newspaper
notoriety and that no men who write
for the press should be permitted to
see or hear Sam Reed or Leona Lord
until they come before a jury In
October.
There were rumors, of course,
floating about the courthouse and
the borough, and one of these was
to the effect that Mrs. H. J. Logan,
the New York woman who, sitting
at a second story window in the
next house, saw the whole affray,
had come to Honesdale bright and
early this morning to tell her story
to the district attorney and that she
would be the principal witness this
afternoon. There was another story,
too and this one seemed to have
at least one good leg to stand upon
that Oakley Tyner, a brother-ln
law of Slko Lord, had circulated a
petition to the court asking that
Leona Lord be not released, -and that
at least 150 names, possibly 200,
were on the paper.
"Most everybody up our way
signed it," said one Equlnunk vis!
tor to Honesdale yesterday.

TOIjL BRIDGES THAT PAY.
New York Public Works Deputy
Superintendent Has Some Fig
ures. Deputy Superintendent Wlnslow
M. Mead of the state department of
public works has returned to Al
bany from his trip to Port Jervls
and along the Pennsylvania line in
Sullivan county, taken In conjunc
ture with a commission appointed
by the state of Pennsylvania to in
vestigate the question of Inter-state
bridges over the Delaware.
Eleven toll bridges were examined
by Mr. Mead and the Pennsylvania
commissioners and at least Ave were
found paying propositions. Some
others are far from paying. Some
are chartered under the laws of New
York, some under those of Penn
sylvania. The tolls on some of the
bridges are as high as 50 cents for
an automobile and from two to five
cents additional for each passenger
over four. 'Five cents a head for
sheep or cattle is an ordinary charge.
Twenty-five cents for a single horse
drawn vehicle Is a common toll and
two cents for passengers.
Deputy Mead declares the roads
and scenery round about the Dela
ware in Sullivan county wilder than
much of the Adirondacks, and the
roads, although always either up or
down, furnish some of the grandest
views he has seen.
Cot of Surveys Taken Out Under
Jones Law.
The state highway department
has received an opinion from Deputy
Attorney General Hargest to the ef
fect that under the Jones road act
the cost of surveys, etc., may be
taken out of the appropriation as a
whole for the improvement of town
ship roads and the remainder of
the appropriation apportioned
among the townships abolishing the
work tax system of building roads.
the division being at the full rate of
?20 per mile. The department had
asked whether the cost of surveys
should be deducted from the $20.
Mr. Hargest also advises that the
department may not prepare plans
and specifications for roads In town
ships that have not abolished the
work tax system.

J. P. McDonough is In town with
a stock of live horseflesh that he
offers to sell or trade.
While out driving a few days ago,
near Miller's bridge, the axle of
Reuben Selg's buggy broke off close
to the front wheel and threw Mr.
Seig very close to the horses' heels
and for a short time man, horse and
buggy were badly mixed up. The
result Is that tho wagon Is laid up
for repairs and the horse Is cut
and bruised about the hind legs and
will be out of service for a time,
but Reuben is able to bo on duty.

ON;OWN RESPONSIBILITY AND
MUST FOOT THE HILLS.
County Commissioners Burchell,
Durkln and Allen of Lackawanna
were ;.ln Honesdale Wednesday to
meet the Wayne county commis
sioners for the purpose of discuss
ing the three township bridges in
Lehigh, which were built by Lack
awanna and never have been "made
county bridges. The Lackawanna
commissioners want Wayne to pay
a' part of the cost of flooring these
bridges with concrete, but as they
are riot county bridges Wayne can
not see this county's way clear to
comply.
Lackawanna has a bridge act of
her own under which the grand
Jury Inspects bridge sites and makes
appropriations for building, the
bridges, but Wayne Is under the
state law governing bridges and this
is where the hitch comes in the case
of these bridges in Lehigh. They
are located at Gouldsboro.
Clerk George P. Ross of the.
Wayne commissioners, when asked
today if there would be another meet
ing with the Lackawanna commis
sioners, said there probably would j
not be, as another meeting could i
not be expected to do any more
good' than this one did. Lackawan- I
na, he said, had gone ahead and
built the bridges on her own re-)
sponslbility and Wayne cannot help
improve -structures that are not ,
county bridges. Otherwise, he said,
Wayne would be willing to do what j
Lackawanna wants her to do.
The state road, which is five miles
long and a nice piece of macadam, i
crosses all three bridges. I

Tragic End of Coe Y. Kellam, For
mer Equiiiunk Mnn.
An accident which resulted In the
death of Coe Y. Kellam occurred
on the highway a short distance this
side of J. M. Brlggs' boarding house
In Deposit, N. Y., last Thursday af
ternoon. Four teams', heavily loaded with
stone, enroute to D. G. Underwood's
stone dock, were coming along the
road, Fred Mcintosh nnd C6e Kellam
being close together, while James
Currle and James Murphy were
farther In the rear. Kellam was
driving a team composed of two
mules and one horse hitched ahead.
As he was coming up the grade a
short distance from the Homestead
he dropped the reins of the lead
horse. Without stopping the team
he stepped on to the tongue of the
wagon, and In reaching for ' the
reins, lost his balance and fell In
front of one of the wheels. As he
fell he called out "whoa" to the
team, but they did not stop until
the wheel had run on to his abdo
men. Mr. Mcintosh, who was directly
ahead, heard his cries and hurried
to his assistance. He was obliged to
back the team up In order to get
the wheel off from Kellam's body.
As soon as Kellam was released he
managed to arise and said: "I won
der If It will kill me," and asked for
a drink of water.
A number of Homestead boarders,
out for a ride, came along at this
time and secured water for him,
but he became unconscious and was
unable to drink it.
Dr. Baker was telephoned for and
arrived In 20 minutes, but the un
fortunate man expired a few min
utes after the doctor's arrival.
He was, rmovedtp' hlshome in
'the Dr., Kelly house on" Pine street
and Saturday afternoon his body
was taken to Equlnunk, his former
home. The funeral was held In the
church at that place Sunday. Mr.
Kellam
had been working for Mr.
Underwood since the Monday pre
vious to the accident. He was
twenty-eight years old and leaves a
wife and small daughter, who have
the sympathy of all.

In Dyberry he looked over more

"As a rule," said Mr. Bullock
Wednesday, "I find the orchards In

"The leaf blister pest is tho most
serious of the problems we have to

It Is found on 90 per cent of the
apple trees, perhaps more, nnd a
few pear trees are Infested, but the
plums escape.
"Tho roundheaded and flatheaded

which Is a small, measly plant

with kerosene emulsion, which you
can buy. It should bo diluted with

that, use whale oil soap, or you
can employ common whlto Ivory
soap, one pound of soap to six gal

"These Insects are sucking In

should be put on with considerable
force to kill tho Insects. This same

Carbondale is
Disappointed;

But the Mer
chants9 Day af
Lodore was
One Grand
Good Time,
Just the same.
Two hundred and 16 people
bought excursion tickets to Lake
Lodore Wednesday and close to a
hundred, Ticket Agent Transue fig
ures, bought regular tickets. The
specfal train that ran ahead of the
regular 12.25 had 10 cars, well fill
ed. The 4.30 regular train took
up a good many more. With the.
Carbondale crowd the whole throng
must have made the 5,000 mark
easily. A few went to the lake expecting
Col. Roosevelt, who had been in
Scranton, Wllkes-Barre and Peck
vllle, would be there. The commit
tee sent a telegraphic invitation to
him at the Jermyn in Scranton but
he could not come. His secretary
wired the Colonel's regrets.
"If he'd known there was to be a
prize for the biggest family on the
grounds, he'd have come over to the
lake to see the family and award
the prize," said the funny man from
Honesdale. "That's his long suit,"
A Carbondale estimate of the at
tendance at the outing fixes It at
4,000. The business of the city was
practically suspended, the mer
chants, help and patrons all mak
ing tracks for the lake to spend the
day there. Col. Roosevelt, who was
In the valley, had been Invited to
attend. He was unable to accept
the Invitation, much as the mer
chants would like to have him with
them, and much as he would like to
spend a day with the business men
of that city. The event, however,
did not lack Its big men.
Athletic events were held during
the afternoon and prizes were award
ed the winners. In addition to the
regular program of sports arrang
ed hy the merchants, there was a
clay pigeon shoot held under the
auspices of the Carbondale Rod aud
Gun club. Dancing was also one
of the diversions. Music was fur
nished by the Mozart band, under
the direction of Frank Uommel
meyer. The 100-yard dash was won by
Jack Lyons, with Monroe second
and Schoonover third. The sack
race was won by Patrick Devaney;
Francis Norton was a close second
and Thomas McDonald finished third.
James J. Walsh won the prize as the
tallest man on tho grounds. His
height is 6 feet 5 inches. Miss
Anna Reese won the 50-yard dash
for ladles, with Cella Wade second
and Margaret West third.
The three-legged race was won
by Frank Walsh, with Frank Brad
ley second and John O'Mnlley third.
Bailey Dlltz won the swimming con
test. J. KIrhy was second and F.
Jackson third.

Carbondnle's disappointment at
not seelug the Colonel did not keep
the Carbondale Leader from paying

former president, it said:
Carbondale was thrown Into
spasms of expectancy when the mes
sage was received that Col. Roose

This city was Included In tho plans

was that tho roads were almost Im
