have taken place in the lakes in the
vicinity of Honesdale this season.
Two young lads, Ernest R. Price, 21
years of age, and his brother, Harry,
aged IS, of Carbondale, were drown

Lake Lodore, Owen Kern, Jr.,

with their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Price, whose homo is in
Carbondale, the father being a flor
ist of that city, were spending sev
eral weeks at Elk Lake at their cot
tage. On Sunday morning about -ten
o'clock the brothers left the cottage
to go in bathing. They went alone
and chose that part of the lake
which is near the outlet whero the
water is about eight feet deep. That
was the last seen of the boys alive.
At noon when they failed to re
turn the parents became anxious and
instituted a search fearing that
something had happened. Mr. Sen

neighborhood, rowed over to the

CIRCUS . ATTRACTS
ROY FROM HOME.
Kind Words Chnnged Course of
Voting Man's Life; Xow Gone tp

Lured by the spectacular sights of
the circus, a young man, whose name
we are not permitted to use, follow
ed the Young Buffalo Wild West
from Mlddletown, N. Y., his home
city, to Honesdale. .He is IS years
of age and exceptionally bright. The
mother of the young man came to
Honesdale Sunday evening in hopes
of finding her young son. She noti
fied the authorities and on Monday
morning Detective N. B. Spencer
went to the show grounds at East
Honesdale and Inquired for the boss
showman. He asked him if he had
secured any help from Mlddletown
or Port Jervis and he replied that he
had taken on one man. An Investi
gation followed and the young man,
from the description given by the
mother, was picked out by Detective
Spencer as being the runaway boy.
Sheriff F. C. Kimble was also upon
the grounds at the time and inter
ceded for Detective Spencer.
The young man, accompanied Mr.
Spencer to Honesdale and the two
went to the boarding house where
the mother was stopping. Here big
hearted Nick gave the young man a
bit of fatherly advice, claiming that
a young man who had the bright ca
reer before him that he has ought
to develop his talents. The young
man told Nick that ho was an elec
trician and had done some work
along that line. The big and kind
hearted detective reasoned with the
Mlddletown youth and succeeded in
getting him to give up the roaming
life and settle down and make a
mark in the world. When last seen
by a detective and a Citizen repre
sentative, the young man was accom
panying his mother and little sister
to tho show grounds to get his be
longings and return to his home in
the city.
In as much as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my

POSTAL COXFESSIOX
IX CIUSPELIi MURDER.
A sensational turn to the Alice
Crispell murder case of July 4 oc
curred Friday when William Cris
pell, father of the dead girl received
what purports to be a postal card
confession of the murder of the girl,
but which the authorities are inclined
to believe is either a hoax or the rav
ings of an unsound mind which has
been following the Harvey Lake
tragedy.
The postal card was dated last
Tuesday and postmarked at New Ro
chelle, N. Y. It read:
"Bert is innocent. I killed Alice
because of her love for him."
"A. N."
The county authorities have taken
possession of the card and will make
an investigation for fear that there
might be something more than mere
maniacal ravings behind the diS'
patch of the card to the father of
the dead girl.

ONE CENT FOR GOOD LUNCH,
St. Louis. Mo., July 2C. It has
been just one month today since the
anti-free lunch law went into effect
here and every one is agreed that
there might as well not be any such
law. Praotlcally every saloon in the
city sells a pretty fair lunch for one
cent. Others have placed slot ma
chines near the eats, with placards
calling attention to tho law and ask
ing beer buyers to drop pennies in
the slot if they get away with any of
the food.
In one downtown saloon, one of
the biggest In town, an Inquisitive
patron counted four cents in one of
the pay-as-you-eat money boxes just
after several hundred hungry and
thirsty base ball fans, returning from
a ball game, had eaten everything on
the lunch counter. During the time
the crowd was in the saloon, the at
tendant behind the counter was
busy elsewhere.
In some of the saloons the proprie
tors insist on the payment of the
penny, but the customer gets a ticket
which ho doesn't have to turn in at
the lunch counter and which can be
carried about and used as a sort of
"rain check" ticket. Nobody has
been arrested yet for swiping a few
hot dogs and cheese.

SCHOOL
DISTRICT
REPORTS SLOW.
State Appropriation Will be Late
This Year According to Speed of
Officers in Making Reports.
According to all accounts tho State
appropriation to the school districts
of Wayne county will be slow this
year and the probabilities are that
Wayne county will be tho last to re
ceive state money for the carrying
on of school work, if the school of
ficers throughout the county do not
get their reports, affidavits and certi
ficates in very soon. County Super
intendent of Schools J. J. Koehler
stated Saturday that the school offi
cers had been very slow this year
in making their reports as com
pared to other years. The appropri
ation is paid to the school districts
in the order in which the reports are
filed at Harrisburg. It would be
well, said Mr. Koehler, in speaking
of the school officers, to attend to
this matter immediately so that the
State appropriation willnot be de
layed, for If the reports So not go in
until September the school money
yui not be .received until about De
cember or the first of next year.
Tho following school districts have
sent In full reports: Canaan, Da
mascus, Dyberry, Hawley, Paupack,

WHICH NETTED LOCALS
ELEVEX RUXS.
Hawley Was Shut Out by Loll's Su
perb Pitching Only Two Hits
.Made Oil' Him Locals Defeated
Sunday by Score of 8 to I).
The first game of the series with
Hawley was played at this place on
Saturday and it was so easy for the
local boys to take it away from our
down-the-river friends that it seem
ed a shame. There was nothing to
It at all. Ames was led out to face
tho " heavy artillery " and before
he was led away he had seven hits.
McCloskey was the added starter
and we made three more from him.
The locals played a fine game from
start to finish and every man on tho
team gave a good account of himself.
The work of Mangan and Brader
was very fast and the fielding and
pitching of Loll was of tho class A
type, he allowing only three hits,
one a very, very "scratchy" one.
How we secured our eleven runs:
In tho third Loll went out to Glf-
ford, Brader walked and went to sec
ond when Lilly sacrificed to Ed
wards. Mangan singled, scoring
Brader. Sandy singled and when
Tarkett added another Mangan and
Sandy scored. Weaver drove a safe
one to left, scoring Tarkett. Faatz
went down to Edwards.
In the fourth Hessllng flew to Ed
wards. Loll sent an easy one to
Ames. Brader singled and went to
third when Murphy missed the throw
to catch Lilly at flrst. Mangan was
again there with a hard single, scor
ing Brader and Lilly. Bandy urove
a double to woods and Mangan scor
ed. Tarkett fanned.
In the Hfth Weaver was out on a
drive to Gifford. Faatz made
single. "Pop" Hessllng,
who by the way was out In his
old-time form, singled and when
Loll sent a-fast one to Mack, he
threw wild and "Buck" scored, fol
lowed by Hessling. Brader again
walked. With Faatz running for
Loll a double steal was affected and
when Lilly sent a long fly to left
Buck again scored and Brader
came home on the wild throw of Mc
Closkey to Kerrigan. Mangan was
hit, stole second. Sandy flew out to
Dougherty. That ended the scoring
It was enough.
Incidentally, that man Dougherty,
in left field for Hawley, was in tho
game, having five outs, one of them
a pretty catch after a hard run.

Hawley Takes Second Game.
The Honesdale boys went to Haw
ley Sunday afternoon where they
played the second game of the ser
ies. The line-up for Honesdale on
Saturday would have been a good
match for any team In this part of
tho State but in tho Hawley game
on Sunday positions were changed
and consequently they met defeat,
Hawley took the second game by a
score of 9 to 8. McCloskey pitched
for the Hawleyltes while Vetter held
down tho mound for tho locals. Tho
batteries were McCloskey and Ker
rlgan, for Hawley and Vetter and
Jacobs for Honesdale. Loll and
Sandercock went In tho game In the
last half of the ninth. Neither ono
of the pitchers received any support
and the game was very badly played,
In the eighth Inning McCloskey in
terfered with Brader who was run
ning tho base between first and sec
ond and retired tho side. McCloskey
was severely spiked but continued in
tho game to the finish. Tho score by

YOUXG BUFFAf ? IOXDAY
tVFTERXOGiXD EVENING. .
"Young Buffalo Wild West, Ver
non C. Seavers Hippodrome and Col.
Cummins Far West" arrived here
Sunday morning and was greeted by
the usual large number of people
that are always present on such oc
casions. The question is asked,
hat is there about a circus that
makes otherwise perfectly normal
persons leave their beds at daybreak
and hurry down to the railroad side
tracks to see the great caravan un
load, wind and unwind, collect and
separate, roll Itself up into one mass
of apparent utter confusion only to
unroll itself with consummate easo
into an orderly line?
At 10:30 o'clock the parade of the
United Wild West, Hippodrome and
Far East drew hundreds to the
streets to see the unwonted sights of
foreign and domestic wild animals
with all the pomp and panoply of
the characters of the wild and wooly
west and the' deserts of the Far East
wended its way through some of the
principle streets of this city. It was
about the most picturesque and un
usual display ever given In connec
tion with a tented exhibition in
Honesdale.
The tail end of the procession was
followed by crowds of spectators to
the show grounds at East Honesdale
after which the showmen partook of
their noon-day meal which Is also an
interesting sight to see. Wonderful
how so many people are fed when
such a short time can bo given to
preparations for breakfast and din
ner after the show arrives.
Tho afternoon performance com
menced at 2:30 o'clock and like tho
big street demonstration was fully up
to, it not ueyonu, expectation.
The evolutions of the 20 ox team,
was truly wonderful, cowboys and
cowgirls, Indians, Arabs, Cossacks
were the headliners In daring horse
manship. Annie Oakley, probably
one of the best known women in tho
world, gave her peerless wing and
rifle shooting exhibition which was
voted a big hit by the large audi
ence in attendance and fully in ac
cord with her world wide reputation.
There were two elephant acts, the
finest ever seen In Honesdale, both
worked by women. Tiny Muggins,
tho smallest of the elephants, can
play some foot ball and acts as if
he could give some of the college
gladiators a good run for their
money. A spectacular part of the
program was the massing of the col
ors in which 74 horses were ridden
I representatives of all the peo
es of the world carrying the vari
ous national ensigns. The comedy
numbers are prolific and many of
them entirely original, one of the
most ludicuous is the wedding of a
pair of tenderfeet on the "Lone Star
Ranch" and a chlvarl given them
by the cowboys.' In this is intro
duced the famous Taximeter arid the
acrobatic horse, some marvelous
roping exhibitions and the Bounding
Hayrack.
A second performance will be giv
en this evening. In case of rain the
audience will bo protected by a can
vas covering. The arena, however,
will be open.
The Young Buffalo Wild West
show has instituted a suit for $100,-
000 against the Buffalo Bill show, it
Is claimed, for sending out alleged
threatening letters for defamation of
character. It is alleged that Buffalo
Bill's show is in the hands of the
sheriff. The 113 Indians, which
were in the show, It is claimed, have
returned to the reservation in South
Dakota.
