HULL-BOWIE LAND SUIT
SETTLED WITHOUT TRIAL.
Tho four-year-old suit of J. Wes
ley Hull and Dnniel Hull, of Mt.
Pleasant, Wayno county, executors
and trustees of tho estate of Har
riet Amanda Spencer, against Jennie
Bowie, of North Scranton. was sot-
! tied Tuesday in court when it came
to trial bofore Judge A. T. Searle of
Honesdale, who is sitting in common
picas court in Scranton this week.
When the trial got fairly started
Judge Searle brought all parties to
gether and suggested a settlement
that was satisfactory to both sides.
Mrs. Amanda Spencer, wife of
George Spencer, owned a property
with 150 feet frontage on North
Main avenue, the property running
back 150 feet to Putnam street. She
died in 1907 and left the place in
trust to her husband and to her
I brother, J. Wesley Hull, and his son,
. Daniel Hull. They wcro named as
executors as well as 'trustees.
I Under the will the executors were
directed to place her husband In pos
session with his having right to dis
pose of it in whole or in part. ' He
lived to April, 190S, when ho died at
tho age of eighty-six years. Ho left
a will bequeathing to Miss Bowie,
sixty feet frontage of the property
and the house, which had stood for
fifty years on the plot. Miss Bowie
was a foster child of tho Spencers,
but was never adopted by sanction
of the court.
When the estate got into Orphans'
court, Miss Bowie put In a claim for
$2,6SG as her earnings as a steno
grapher, which she maintained went
to support Spencer in his old age.
Judge Sando allowed the conveyance
of the land as consistent with the
terms of Mrs. Spencer's will, hut the
executors appealed and the Supreme
court sustained the appeal. The
dispute then went into the common
pleas fjr trial by jury. Scranton

QUEER AVEATHER.
The first snowfall always surprises
us, just as the annual recurrence of
a birthday does, with its pitiless re
minder of approaching winter; but
the snowfall of last Saturday did
not arrive before its time. During
the past eleven years snow has fallen
as early as October 11, never in
that time has snowfall been de
ferred as lato as November 1st in
this part of the world.
We have been through a queer
summer. Last winter was a queer
winter. The summer before was
outlandish. Very likely tho next
four months will bo out of the ordi
nary. The weather is always queer.
It would bo queer If It wero not
queer. We have warrant for hop
ing, or, If we prefer, we may hope
without warrant, that the winter of
1912-1913 will bo peculiar in Its
mercifulness to tho coal bin. Post

BUCK KILLIAM DIDN'T KILL 'EM.

barks Mr. Killam was encountered
by a largo catamount. The ferocious
wild cat Jumped for the dog, but tho
latter being a good dodger managed
to keep his distance. Seeing tho
green eyes of tho catamount, as .they
wero cast upon him, Mr. Killiam shot
wild, but hit tho cat. Tho cat re
treated and took to .the woods, dis
appearing in a ledge. This is an

GOVERNOR TENER'S
THANKSGIVING CALL.
Governor John K. Tnnnr'n nfflnlnl
Thanksgiving day proclamation was
i Issued Wednesday. In keeping with
the president's proclamation on tho
, subject ho fixes Thursday, November
i 28, ns pie day. He says: "The pco
' pie of our state and nation havo
: many things for which to bo thank
ful. Living in an ago of invention,
I surrounded with unusual resources,
i with no problem of the unemployed
to solve, tho people havo enjoyed
I greater safety and comfort, and
I higher social and Intellectual privi
leges, than havo fallen to a lot of
men In any previous ago of tho
I world.
"Thero are a number of things In
which Pennsylvania In particular
has been fortunate. Sheltered by a
hundred hills and watered by numer
ous lakes and rivers, our state Is lin
ed with the picturesque and beauti
ful; yot this diversity has resulted In
other advantages. Frost, fire and
Hood seldom affect us adversely.
Even financial depressions lose their
force with us because of the variety
of our interests and when the na
tion has passed through such afflic
tions, wo havo been quick to recov
er. "During the year Just passed,
Pennsylvania has had no great ca
lamities and no Industrial disturb
ances; her philanthropic and finan
cial institutions have flourished; her
rural and urban communities have
been unusually free from the scourge
of disease, and her overflowing har
vests presage a period of unrivaled
prosperity.
"It Is natural and proper for all
right minded people to be filled with
n spirit of thankfulness. It has been
customary to set aside one day of the
year for the purpose of giving ex
pression to this feeling."
Joint Session of Borough Council
and Board of Health.
Honesdale at this time has a mild
case of smallpox. This patient Is
being cared for by a trained nurse
and two of our best physicians. The
building and Inmates aro under
strict quarantine, guards being sta
tioned to enforco same in eight
hour shifts, day and night, and
every precaution has been taken to
prevent any further contagion.
Tho Board of Health met with the
Town Council last evening. Owing
to this one case and cases reported
in surrounding counties, they deem
ed it advisable to pass the following
resolution.
At a meeting of the Town Coun
cil of tho . Borough of Honesdale
,VJd, at the City Hall on November
SOi-4912, the" following resolution
was adopted by the Honesdale Board
of Health, and was unanimously
adopted by the Town Council as
a resolution this day, viz,
At a meeting of the Board of
Health held at the City Hall on
November 20, 1912, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved that we strongly rec
ommend that all residents of Hones
dale and vicinity who have not been

mediately vaccinated, each selecting
his or her own physician, who would
decide tho necessity of such vaccina

DISEASE CARRIERS.
Animals often are responsible for
tho spread of disease. The rat fre
quently brings with it cholera; the
cow through its milk, tuberculosis;
tho fly, typhoid fever. Many con
tagious diseases are brought into
tho home by tho dog and the cat.
It Is all right to havo such house
hold pets as tho cat and dog If com
mon senso is used in selecting and
taking care of them. Do not make
a pet of tho tramp cat. People of
ten allow their children to kiss tho
dog or the cat and sometimes do It
themselves. This not only is fool
ish, but also lays one open to the
attack of such disease germs as
these animals may be carrying.
If contagious disease attacks your
home, quarantine tho dog and the
cat as you would any member of
your family. Seo also that these ani
mals do not wander into places
whoro disease exists. Remember
that animals are just as likely to be
carriers of diseaso as human be
ings, and that they should bo taken
caro of accordingly. Karl do Sch
wolnitz, Executlvo Secretary, Penn
sylvania Society for tho Prevention
of Tuberculosis.

lect your best Interests.
Now, where does your duty lie?

HANLAN NOT THE
AUTHOR OF LETTER.
To tho Editor of Tho Citizen:
Dear Sir:
A letter of which the following Is
a copy Is being circulated in Wayno
county:
M. J. Hanlan, Supreme Auditor of
tho American Fraternal Association,
at the time of the auditing of tho
accounts of that association, saw
fit to write of Mr. Wasman's ac
counts and work, as follows:
"Havo made a thorough and
careful examination of tho books,
frocords, vouchers and receipts of
the monies received by the associa
tion, and tho monies nald out. .mil
I have carefully compared all the en-
vj il ,i; 1C1UIU3 Ul L11U clUSULlil-
tion, and have verified same by tho
receipts and vouchers held by tho
Supremo Secretary, and find that the
funds of tho association aro collect
ed and distributed In accordance
with tho laws governing the samo,
as expressed In tho Constitution and
By-Laws and feel that it is duo to
the Supremo Secretary to say, that
the records of the Association are
kept in a thorough manner. That
the system In use by him in keep
ing the records, accounts, receipts
and vouchers of the association
meets with our approval."
M. J. HANLAN,
Supreme Secretary.
I do not wish to have it under
stood that I am the author of tho
above letter or have been instru
mental in circulating it. When the
American Fraternal Association was
organized E. A. De Lanoy, Esq , of
Carbondale, and myself were told
that we had been appointed Supreme
Auditors of that organization. Wo
audited the books of the association
in January, 1908, and again In Jan
uary, 1909, and found the accounts
correct. We signed a form which
had been prepared and of which I
presume the above is a copy. We
wero not called upon to audit the
books since that time. Tho
transfer is said to havo been made
in the fall of 1909 and I had no
knowledge of it until It had been
consummated.
Yours truly,
