RUNS AWAY;
NEXT DAY
FOUND
M. Leo Braman's Ilorso Driven By
Norman Decker Ran Away Near
Seelyvillo Tuesday Night
Horso Found Next Day.
Norman Decker, who is employed
In M. Lee Braman's livery barn, had
-a very narrow escape from serious
injury Tuesday evening whon the
'horse he was driving ran away and
dragged him along the road for a
considerable distance. His compan
ion succeeded In getting out of dan
ger. He had been out for a sleigh ride
with a friend and a little abovo
Seelyvllle he tried to turn around In
the road to drive back to Honesdale.
It was while turning that the horse
gave a sudden lunge and started to
go toward Prompton. The young
lady jumped out of the sleigh as it
tipped toward her and escaped in
jury, but Decker was thrown out and
dragged along the road for a consid
erable distance. He was bruised and
scratched but suffered no serious
injuries. After disposing of the oc
cupants of the sleigh the horse con
tinued In the direction of Prompton.
That was the last seen of the horse
or the sleigh. A piece of the harness
and the robe were found a little later
in the road. No one along the road
remembered seeing the horse go by
and It is supposed It went off the
xoad Into the fields. The accident
happened between eight and nine
o'clock Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning about eleven
o'clock the horse was found walking
along the road by Mr. Ferguson at
Seelyvllle and he put the animal in
his barn and then notified Mr. Bra
man. The horse was still attached
to the sleigh and both were without
a scratch.
CHAUTAUQUA FOR HONESDALE.
The Chautauqua Association of
Pennsylvania has sent a representa
tive to Honesdale to consider the ad
visability of establishing a Chau
tauqua In this community next sum
mer. So far as our information
goes, we do not know of any move
ment which would bo of more sub
stantial benefit to the community and
would have a more lasting impression
behind It. The program offers the
very best talent In oratory, music
and entertainment, and the prime
consideration with the management
in forming it is its beneficial effect
upon the community which Is served.
Any one who will take the trouble
to investigate can convince himself
that the Association is both reput
able and reliable. It has the support
of a largo number of the leading
business men and financial leaders
'of Philadelphia and vicinity. It
should be stated, however, that these'
Chautauquas are not conducted for
profit. The association Is chartered
as a "iNo profit" stock organization
and it seeks simply to 'provide a high
grade program which shall be of real
value to the community with the
hope of covering the expenses only.
This should appeal to our citizens as
most of the organizations which seek
to operate 'In our town desire to
make as large profits as possible.
Over a thousand Chautauqus were
held throughout the West last sea
son, but only a few of them were lo
cated east of the Allegheny Moun
tains. Most of them have carried
out In spirit the purpose of the par
ent Chatauqua In New York and
the programs seek to combine In
struction, entertainment and amuse
ment. For next season the program In
cludes such attractions as Frank
Dixon, Newell Dwlght Hlllis, Reno
B. Welbourne, William Sterling Bat
tls, Rosanl, the juggler, The Floren
tine Concert Band, The Common
wealth Quartet, and more than twen
ty other features, inoluding a speak
er of national reputation in political
life. Gov. Hadley of Missouri, is
under engagement and each com
munity will have the pleasure of lis
tening to a man who Is widely
known.
The entertainments are held In a
largo tent specially constructed for
the purpose, with a maximum seat
ing capacity of two thousand. It Is
seated with folding chairs and all
the arrangements are In charge of an
experienced platform manager as
sisted by a tent crew of college stu
dents, who look after the comfort
of the people In every way possible.
Tickets for this superb course of
entertanment are placed at the sur
prisingly low figure of $2.00 arid
they are transferable. No better in
vestment of that amount of money
could possibly be made and wo be
lieve It would be easy to guarantee
a sufficient number of these tickets
to bring the attraction to Hones
dale.
Death of Mrs. J. S. Miller.
Malvenla Stlckley, widow of the
flato Jacob S. Miller, of this place,
died at 111:15 o'clock Wednesday

AUDITORS CiEST SHERIFF'S
' JjlLL
Chief Executlvo Wn's Appointed Last
Summer to Protect Working Gloss
Cutters Commissioners Cannot
Agree; Now Up to tho Court
to Decide.
County Auditors Gilpin, Avery
and Bodle have finished auditing
the accounts of Wayne coun
ty. The bills were found to bo O.
K. with the single exception of one
presented to the county commis
sioners for patrol duty by the sheriff
and two deputies at the time of the
disturbance last summer.
Tho sheriff's total bill which he
presented to the county commission
ers for payment amounted to $249.
'For 49 days' service at $3 per day
his personal bill outside of his depu
ties was $147. J. J. Canivan was
deputized 46 days at $2 per day and
Levi De Groat five days at $2 per
day.
The commissioners question tho
payment of the sheriff's bill on the
ground of its legality. Homer
Greene, county solicitor, was called
to the rescue by the commissioners.
He quoted the law as regarding tho
sheriff being a conservator of the
peace, etc., going considerably into
detail In tho matter.
Being unable to come to an agree
ment as regarding Its legality after
the opinion was handed down the
county commissioners, auditors, the
latter's attorney, M. E. Simons', and
Sheriff Kimble held a joint meeting
Wednesday morning to discuss the
matter. The auditors' attorney fi
nally made a motion that the bill bo
presented before the court for a de
cision. It was carried.
The secretary of the board of
trade was present at an adjourned
meeting of the commissioners an3
auditors Wednesday morning. He
read letters to the county officers re
ceived from State authorities au
thorizing the Board of Trade to act
and deputize as many citizens as
necessary to meet the emergency.
The situation was one that need
ed Immediate attention. Tho trouble
at the time Sheriff Kimble was en
gaged occurred In Texas township
and out, of the jurisdiction of the
town authorities therefore Hones
dale's police could not act. It wa3
then necessary to look to other pow
er In authority, consequently, on
recommendation of tho Department
of State 'Police, Sheriff Kimble was
engaged to preserve peace and or
der. All of Wayne county's Indus
tries, either In Honesdale, Texas
township or some other place pay
taxes and the money goes toward
the maintenance of the county. They
all help the county directly or indi
rectly and any time when there may
be a disturbance the men employed
therein are worthy and deserving of
protection, ---; - . -
