Bortree, 89 Years Old, Leaps from Barn Window LAND SCHEM E Had Annoyed Telephone Operator at Night Monday was Mayor Kuhbach's busy day, he having held two hear ings In the city hall, one at 4 o'clock and the second at 8 o'clock p. m. The last mentioned was of a serious and dangerous nature, and the three young men arrested who escaped with but a light fine of $5 each ought to congratuate them selves that they did not meet with something more severe. It appears that for sometime, ac cording to a sworn statement made by the manager of the Consolidated Telephone company of Honesdale, Monday night, that there Is difficulty In keeping a night operator, owing to the misconduct of a number of young men who have Indulged In a series of night escapades, which the telephone company says Is now at an end. The night operator, at 1:30 Sun day morning, called Officer Degroat and he notified Chief J. J. Canlvan that some boys were annoying her over the telephone from the public pay station outside. Owing to the humiliation that It would bring upon the boys impli cated, also upon their parents and guardians, this paper will call the boys A, B and C. By holding back their names It is hoped that the les son taught will in no way be less Im pressive upon others and that A, B. f,v h ,U u .lend,i?lr ,WaS a"dItnotlunder $500 bonds and he being un ityi nmSellable t0 a pen,ten-,nble to secure anyone to go his bail tlal Offense again. Ilinnrtq ho w-ia hrmifht tr. Hnnnl Chief Canlvan stated that when he and Officer Degroat reached the telephone office that the boys were in the Amity c,lub, two of them be ing members, and were able to es cape by having keys to the club rooms. The chief stated that they resisted him when he called but they would not open the door, so that it was necessary to go out and get an other member In an effort to open the door. The lock, he-stated, was doctored someway and the member had to climb through the transom over the door to get in the room. B was found under a sofa, while A went over the cable from the build ing to the telephone pole and down same to the' street where he was captured by one of the officers. C was lost. All remained quiet for a time and then a" scrambling noise was heard overhead. C had gained entrance to the attic of the building. Chief Canlvan procured a lantern and went after him. "When the chief got to where ho had crawled, it being at the extreme corner of the building, C refused to move. Fin ally the chief told Officer Degroat to take B to Sheriff Braman and he would wait until he returned. Vlth that C said, "I'll come." Offlcer De groat corroborated Chief Canivan's story, adding that he saw the three young men uptown and advised them to go home and scarcely ten minutes afterwards was called to the telephone office by the night operator. The manager of the Consolidated Telephone company stated that the district superintendent of the com pany would withdraw all charges and would drop the case entirely If the young men would agree to stay away. Mayor Kuhbach told the. young men the seriousness of their actions and if they did not settle by paying a fine of $5. each and sign an agree ment not to molest the telephone company again In any way, shape or manner, mat it would land them in a serious position as the telephone company would hring the matter to court for trial and they would not escape as easily then as If they paid their fines and be discharged. A. B and C coughed up $5 each with the understanding that they would sign an agreement, counter-signed by tneir parents and guardians. The boys ages were 18, 20 and 21 years and as was stated by Mayor Kuh- bacn, "old enough to know better, READY FOR LABOR DAY CELEBRATION The Committee of Arrangements announces that everything Is In read' iness for the big Labor Day celebra- tlon to be held In Honesdale, Mon day, September 4.

Lucisano Arrested by De tective Spencer in Ureher Township HELD IN $500 lJAIIi FOR OCTO IJEIt GRAND JURY. Domineco Lucisano was arrested on Tuesday In Dreher township, near Gouldsboro, by Detective N. B. Spencer for selling liquor without a license and selling to minors. At the last court the constable from that township, In his returns, stated that liquor was being sold without a license by Domineco Lu cisano. For a time the foreigner conducted his hole-in-the-wall with more or less precaution. He secur ed a revenue stamp from the govern ment and then formed a club, thinking that he would be protect ed. The people living In the neigh borhood were afraid of the man and he In turn threatened to do bodily harm to any one who would inter fere with his business. Detective Spencer was In the place a week and secured evidence enough against Lucisano to convict him of selling spiritous, malt and' brewed liquors without a license and came to 'Honesdale Monday. On Tuesday he was accompanied by Dis trict Attorney M. E. Simons when the arrest was made and the prison er was taken before Justice of the Peace James It. Smith, South Cfni.llni. ril V. t..i 1, 1 ,1 T HnlflnnA and landed In the county jail. Dlstriet Attorney Simons has a good clear case against Lucisano according to evidence secured toy Detective Spencer, to whom a great deal of credit Is due for bringing a man of fhls character into the hands of the law. Lucisano will be held for the October grand jury. War Lost ii Patrick H. Sheridan, aged CG. a veteran of the Civil war, residing in Now Tork city, who, with his daugh ter, Jiiss .Minnie, has been spending tne summer at Lake Como, had the unpleasant experience early this week, of being lost for thirty hours in tho forests of Wayne county. Mr. Sheridan left the house at 9 o'clock Monday morning to go after some wood to help get the breakfast. Stove length wood was hard to find. and going farther and farther from home, he finally lost his way in the heavy woods and dense underbrush. When tho veteran tailed to return. tho alarm was sounded, and the farmers, for miles around, turned out to hunt for him. They searched for him all Monday night, when the thunders rolled, and tne lightnings fleshed, and the very elements howled In derision at their trultless efforts, Drenched to the skin by tho heavy downpour, the men returned home for breakfast Tuesday morning. Af ter a nasty cup or coffee, they again started out in quest of the lost sold ier, whom they finally found at 2:15 o'clock Tuesday afternoon In Spruce Lake Swamp. Soldier Sheridan, ut terly exhausted by hiB exposure to the fury of the wind and rain, weak ened by his long tramp through the trackless woods, was quickly taken to tho home of S. B. Woodmansee, where restoratives were applied, and tho unfortunate man's condition made as comfortable as possible. SLIGHT FIRE IN BOARDING HOUSE A gas stove In the kitchen of Mrs. William F. Brlggs' fashionable board ing house at 108 Tenth street, got afire Wednesday morning at 8:45 o'clock but beyond giving the dining room girl and the boarders a severe scare, filling the room with smoke, and burning a couple of towels, lit tle or no damage was done. " Did we get scared?" said Miss Margaret Colo, East Honesdale, who has charge of tho establishment In the absence of Mrs. Brlggs, who is at Carley Brook, to a Citizen man. "Well, I rather guess. A big fright. I sent in the alarm over the Citizen 'phono. A gentleman from a rig came In and put out the fire. There was no damage done. It just burned a couple of towels. "Walter Moore, one of tho board ers, grabbed his clothes and wanted to run away. The rest of the board ers had flown. "Yes, I think I'll get over it," she concluded not much the worse for the early morning fright. Tho'late risers along Irving Boute vard wero just sipping their coffee, when the ominous -whistle sounded the alarm of flro. This was the con solation they got over the 'phone, when they inquired "whero tno tern- tolo conflagration was?" "It was at Mrs. Brlggs' Boarding House. It's out now." Several farmers, who have married children living In Honesdale, wore seen galloping madly up Main street shortly arter a o'clock to una out where tho fire was.

More Rain Since Last Thursday than all Last Summer BUCKWHEAT IS DEAD; POTA TOES SO SCARCE OXE-THIRD OF FARMERS WILL HAYE TO BUY. More rain has fallen In Wayne county since last Thursday than was precipitated throughout the entire Summer previous. " The rain was a good thing," said a wealthy farmer to a Citizen man. " It won't help the crops though. They are all too far gone. " It might help corn to ear a little more, and fill up more. The sun has killed tho buckwheat. It's been too hot. Everything is cooked. That's all there is for it to help. The frost will cut late buckwheat before it will get to maturity. " Potatoes are going to be awfully scarce. Nine out of ten farmers haven't any more than they want. One-third of the farmers will have to buy this year. " I expected thirty bushels from a little quarter of an acre garden patch, and I won't get ten, nor even six bushels of good salable potatoes, what you would want to buy If I fetched them here. " Where they turn out good I won't get half a bushel out of a row. I get one decent potato out of a hill, out of some, two. It takes quite a few hills to make a bushel. Its been too hot. That's all there Is to it. "I've got a brother. He's got a good piece. If all turns out right he'll have 100 bushes to the acre. He's tho only man that I know of that's got any. "A man that raises 200 bushels to the acre gets a pretty good crop. Quite a number of years ago I'd get s and 3U potatoes from a hill, G to Inches long, and as big as my wrist. That was digging potatoes. "I've never seen them grow that way before or since. That was 12 to 15 years ago. A man could go out and dig 25 or 30 bushels of po tatoes In three hours, and give the rest of the day to doing chores and putting them in the cellar." res en Returns Breathing veugeance against her employer for being discharged as cook at the Hotel National, because of drunkenness, Mrs. Jennie Hart- man, It is alleged, set fire to the mat tress In her room, last Tuesday morning. The dining-room girl smelled smoke and gave the alarm of fire. Mr. McArdle rushed Into the cook's room, which is just off from the kitchen, and found the flames blaz ing merrily right In the centre of her bed. Quickly seizing the burning mat tress, he carried it out doors, severe ly burning his right hand and wrist through the operation, but thankful that the damage was no worse. Mrs. Jennie 'Hartman, who, it is said, has a husband living In Scran ton, came here about six weeks ago from the 'Electric City. Mr. 'McArdle secured ner services through a Scran ton employment agency. Jennie attended to her duties faithfully tho first month. But lately her fondness for liquid refreshment got the better of her. , She got in a stew, Monday again. Disgusted with her performances, Mr. McArdle gave her until the next morning to pack up and get out. Sho packed her belongings, remoV' ed them to the laundry and asked for her pay, the following morning. Sho was informed that sho would have to clean her room before she left or she wouldn't get her pay. Jennie snuffed around, got mad, and went down stairs, ostensibly to clean her room. Before she had been there many minutes, the presence of smoke In tho houso was detected toy one of the employees, tho proprietor notified and the incipient blaze promptly extinguished. Thoroughly disgusted by her ac tlons, Mr. McArdle told the cook at 10:30 a. m., "that her train left about 12:25," and advised her to leave at once, which she did, unwept, unhonored and unsung. Mr. McArdle's bright twelve-year- old boy capped the climax by telling his rather: "Papat the cook cleaned her room, an right, didn't snev' She certainly did. Death of Mrs. Horace Davis. Mrs. Ida (Wllmarth), wlfo of Horace Davis, died Sunday morning rrom urlKht's disease, aged about d& years, at her home in Clifton Heights, Delaware county, Pa.

Of the making of land schemes! there Is no end. New Jersey is not alone In her Utopian colony, even the descendants of Henry George must share their single tax glory, with the Florida land boomers, whose fantas tic projects throw all previous at tempts, to restore primitive condi tions, into the shade. Within the past year, Wayne coun ty in general, and Honesdale In par ticular, has lived through three sep arate and distinct attacks of Florida fever. The third and last visitation of this tropical malady whose bacil lus has Infected, Is still infecting, and promises to infect still more of the residents of the peaceful shire, is the most Interesting of all. ' The scheme was hatched In Battle Creek, Michigan, father of "Grape Nuts," mother of breakfast foods, home of sanitariums, source of much that is new and novel In the edible line. The fertile plan was created In the brain of Frank Houghtallng, advertising agent. Here is the boom er's story as he told It to a Citizen man. Read It and form your own conclusions: "I've organized a colony with a couple of hundred families," he said. "I was in the advertising business for several years, and usually you'll have something on the side, a hobby. My hobby was land. I was reading land literature on the side while I was In tho advertising business. "I really wanted to get land. I had children. The next generation the aristocracy of the land will be land owners, and I figured that un less I got land and passed it on, my children would be apt to be poor In deed. "Doctor Reed brough my attention to the reclamation of the Everglades. He had formerly been a medical mis sionary in the South Sea Islands, and he told me he was desirous of set tling in a Southern and tropical cli mate with sea breezes to temper the atmosphere. If he could find such a location in the United States he was going to get into it. "After I satisfied myself I told my friends about It. "If we could all go together so we could have civiliza tion we would start a town site," they said. I volunteered to go South and look tho matter over. I found the piece of land located as per schedule. I went back. My friends met In a house. I told them what I had found. In GO days, 1,000 acres was taken. I was crowded In to the colony proposition. "Doctor Reed and I went down South and in May I bought an exper imental farm as a landing place. This fixes it so my friends can get interested before the natives pluck them, which they certainly do when they get a chance. I am the organizer and business agent of the Urbandale Colony In Dado county In the heart of the fam ous Little River farming section. "Tho State Is dredging the Ever glades. Canals 60 feet wide by iOO feet deen aro being built. The State has appropriated 8300,000 for sur veylng purposes and they have sur veyors working as fast as the water Is being drained off. We are 200 miles South from Or lando, 50 miles from Key West and 306 from Jacksonville. "A man couldn't afford to take that northern land as a gift, if he could get ours at $500 an acre. They have to clear theirs of growth. When cleared it is perfectly pure white sand. Thirteen years ago tho whole northern part was visited by the big freeze and the big citron fruits were all destroyed. Potatoes froze clear down to the ground. "The Everglades is a cake of yeast in that bunch of dough. I can buy any quantity of land In north' ern Florida for $3.50 an acre. The promoters bought It for from $3 to S7, and nre selling It for S40 and $50 an acre. It costs more to clear their land than to buy ours, and when their's Is cleared they 'have only sand." Urbandale, Urbandale, Urbandale! There is something mellifluous in the very name. And to think that you can get in on the ground floor, by paying monthly Installments of only $7.50 for five-acre plots, why it's marvellous, simply marvellous! What matter's It if Miami Is only twenty miles away? What is the dif ference If much of the land is still under water? Who cares If he Is a score of miles away from the sea coast? Why, would you believe It, there are people In Honesdale paying $15 and $20 a month, and will keep right on paying that sum for fifty months to come In tho hope of some day win tering in Florida, twenty miles from Miami, twenty miles from tho sea coast, twenty miles from .

Bortree, aged eighty- nine years, committed suicide in Sa lem township, where he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Cobb, by jumping from the window of a barn twenty-five feet to the ground below. No bones were brok en and Mr. Bortree died of shock. He had made several previous attempts at self-destruction, once with a knife and once with firearms. He was not of sound mentality, and imagined that he was in the way and that he was being wrongly treated. Last Fall 'Mr. Bortree came to. Honesdale filled 'with imaginary grievances and was In the jail for a few days, but the judge pitied tho old man and told him to go home with his daughter, who was doing all she could for him. He went faome, but there are none who can minister to a mind diseased, and after a few more months of struggling against imaginary evils the poor old man on Monday morning took a leap In the dark and ended all his earthly troubles and sorrows. It was In 1880 that all Wayne county was startled with the news that Henry Sh'ouse, of the firm of Shouse Bros., had been shot to death in the law office of Hon. W. H. Dim mick, in Honesdale. Mr. Shouse was the brother-in-law of Mr. Bortree, tho latter having married a sister of the lumbermen. Mr. Bortree was a man of quiet disposition, having a farm one rnlle out from the little tannery village of Ledgedale. His house was tho cen ter of hospitality and friendliness, and his family was all specially gift ed, teaching in the common schools of tho county. But a feud existed between tho Shouse brothers. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bortree thought that the Shouses had wronged their sister in the division of some inherited property. All Mrs. Bortree received was a Wayne county farm of inconsiderable value, while they were worth, some sald, $100,-" 000. On the day of the tragedy the Arm of Collingwood & Co., represented by one of the Collingwoods, and the Shouso brothers represented by Henry Shouse, met at the law office of Hon. W. H. Dlmmick to compute a balance due on a mortgage from Col lingwood & Co. in favor of the Shouses. In making the computa tion there was a discrepancy of $300 in the acount as figured by W. H. Dlmmick, who represented the Col lingwoods, and George S. Purdy, who represented the Shouses. All par ties agreed ;to go over the matter to discover where the error was and to meet In Mr. Dlmmlck's office at 7 o'clock in the evening. During the Interval Mr. Dlmmick discovered where $200 had been paid but not credited on account. He took the receipt and went up Into Mr. Purdy's office, over the postofllce, to talk over tho matter, leaving in his office Henry Shouse and James B. El dred. As Mr. Dlmmick and Mr. Purdy were coming down the stairs and Purdy was saying, "I'll be right over in a few minutes," they heard a pistol shot. Mr. Bortree had walked Into tho office and pointed his pistol at Mr. Shouse and shot him dead. Mr. Eld red seized Bortree, disarmed him and with the assistance of those who came on the scene removed the one who did the shooting to the county Jail. The trial came on in December, Hon. C. P. Waller was the presiding judge and P. P. Smith, Scranton, was the district attorney. Tho prosecu tion of Bortree was conducted by Mr. Dlmmick. The trial attracted much attention and dragged its length along for several days. The defense set up a plea of Insanity, which later events prove was not unreasonable. Expert witnesses were there in abundance and both sides contested the case with great vigor. Mr. Bortree was sent to the peni tentiary for a term of years, but has been at liberty for a long time, as he won a shortening of his term by ex emplary conduct. And now, almost with tho clock of time measuring tho stroke of ninety years, he passes out of the world to appear before another judge who judges righteous Judgment, and whose word is always right. BASE BALL BRIEFS. White Mills plays the County Seaters on the silk mill grounds next Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The last game that White Mills played here was the most exciting game of the season and the fans can look for some surprises and excite ment in Saturday's game. Labor 'Day, two big games will be played In Honesdale between the locals and the Tayloritos. The games will be called at 10:15 a. m. and 2:45 p. m. Taylor has three times this season defeated Leon Ross' little boys, and is probably tho best amateur team in the valley. The locals expect to win both of these games. The management is under heavy expense In getting this team on a holiday, as they usually play at home. Your liberality will be appreciated.
