PRICE 2 OE; 3 S HAWLEY MAN SHOT ACCIDENTALLY IN HEAD i WAS DRAGGING SHOT GUN WHILE WALKING ALONG WALLEN-PAUPACK. In Some Way It Hecame Entangled in Hushes and Discharged Walk ed Mile After Accident Many Theories Advanced. The opening of the season for the lawful shooting of wild ducks on Monday, September 1, was signalized in Hawley by the shooting of a duck hunter by the name of Henry Rose, and the circumstances of the shoot ing are as yet Involved in quite a bit of uncertainty bordering on the mys terious. Henry itose, a young married man, about 23 years of age, early on Mon day morning took his gun and went after ducks along the Wallen-Pau-pack in the vicinity of Tafton. He was unattended with any compan ions. Just what occurred can only be conjectured. Rose himself says that In carrying his gun in a drag ging condition behind him, holding it by the muzzle in some way it be came so entangled In the bushes that it was discharged, wounding him in the back of the head. He further says that just preceding the acci dent he heard the sound of a gun. Walked a Mile After Accident. After receiving his wound young Rose says he called for assistance. A voice in front of him across the bogs answered him inquiring what was the matter. Ho replied that he had been shot and wanted assistance; but the one who answered the call for help did not come to him, and he started to walk towards home. He walked more than a mile from the place where ho says lie was wounded before ho was discovered by a man by the name of Killam. He was brought to Hawley in an auto. Dr. A. C. Volgt gave the wounded man attention, and at his direction he was removed to Dr. Reed Burns"s hospital in Scranton on the C:3S p. m. E. & W. V. train. Dr. Volgt ex presses his opinion that Mr. Rose will recover, and at the hospital, al though no operation was performed on Monday night, the same opinion is expressed as that of Dr. Voigt. Theories of the Accident. That Mr. Rose is mistaken about being wounded by his own gun is quite generally believed. It is point ed out that a close range load of shot would blow off a man's head, or pro duce a hole like that made by a huge bullet. Furthermore, there would be powder marks on the clothing. There were no powder marks visible. Dr. Voigt says a man might be wounded by his own gun, If the dis charge happened to be in an oblique direction so that only its edge scrap ed along the skull, and not produce a wound similar to one made by a large 'bullet; but he is not of the opinion that this wound was of that character, for it was sideways of the rear of the head, taking a direction almost If not quite impossible for a man to Inflict on himself. The shot marks were not in a mass but were separate and distinct. There were also shot marks in the same direc tion on the shoulder. The general supposition Is that Mr. Rpse was ac cidentally shot by some hunter who was firing at ducks or some other game. The Gun Not Found. At this writing, Tuesday afternoon Rose's gun has not been found and none can say with any certainty whether it was fired at all. The story that the gun was found with one barrel discharged was told with out foundation of fact, and until the weapon is actually found nobody can tell whether It had been fired at all. Henry Rose, or Roeso, lived in his youth beyond P. J. Keary's on Bone Ridge. His father moved into Haw ley where ho conducted business, but continued to operate his farm. One day lie was driving into Hawley when in some manner he fell from the load a"nd was instantly killed. Whether his neck was broken, or his horses killed him by kicking him, was as great a mystery as is the present condition of his son. SUPERIOR COURT JUDGESHIP. Cornelius Coinegys, of Scrnnton, the Only Cnndidato From North eastern Pennsylvania. Scranton, Pa.. Aug. 30. Tho re sult of the primary for the selection of candidates for the Superior Court is awaited wlrh great Interest here There are two vacancies to be filled, and fifteen candidates for them, scattered throughout tho State, most ly In the south and west, with only one. Cornelius comegys, in JNortu eastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Comegys has followed his profession in Scran ton for thirty years, is a lawyer of great ability and a citizen oi high . standing, who has never been a nolltlclan and never held office. In Dolitlcs he has been perfectly in dependent. In his own county and in Luzerne, as weu as in me noiguuor ing counties, the newspapers, Re nubllcan. Democratic, 1 Pregressivo and Prohibition alike, all join In sunDortlng him: and he also has the undivided support of the lawyers generally throughout this section of the State without regard to their party affiliations. It is felt that he will poll a great vote at tho primar ies. Prof. E. L. Blakeslee of Howlay who has been visiting In Montrose more than a week, returned home on Saturday. During their absence their house was occupied by Mr. ana Airs. Hunting of Brooklyn. SMALLPOX IX TEXAS TOWNSHIP. A case of smallpox has been dis covered in Texas township just out side the borough limits. County Medical Inspector L. B. Neilsen has instructed Health Officer N. B. Spencer to put guards around the house of Mrs. James Carr at 4 IS 1 Ridge street so that no one will ven- ture on the premises. All precau-1 tions have been taken to guard againsi uie spreuu ui um uisuuse. On Monday Horace Carr, aged 19, ' who is employed at the Elevator , works ,was taken sick after he came ; home at noon. It was thought at : first that he had been poisoned by Ivy and Dr. Petersen was not called until Friday when in consultation with Dr. H. B. Ely the case was pro- I nounced smallpox. Medical Inspec-. tor Nielsen was then notified and an , attempt was made to reach the state . authorities who will probably come here to look into the case. The case I is a mild one and no great danger. Is thought likely to develop from it. The borough heretofore has been very fortunate to escape an epidemic of this kind and lias been free from j smallpox for about a year. It has i not been ascertained where the young man contracted the disease but he visited Port Jervis a few weeks ago and it is presumed that it was contracted while In that city. The employes in the electrical de partment in which Carr worked, were all vaccinated and evory precaution has been taken. ARRESTED BY STATE POLICE. Morris Price of near Cresco was arrested Friday for illegal fishing. Price has had a fish basket in use for some time, according to report, which is contrary to the fish and game laws. Friday afternoon State Police Harry J. Eisenhart investigat ed the matter and arrested Price. He was brought before Squire Stomple, where he confessed stating that lie did not know It was contrary , to law. He paid a fine of $20 and the costs. ! The basket was set in Brodhead's creek about two miles north of An alomink where he made frequent catches. Eisenhart watched the bas ket, discovered its owner and the arrest followed. Eisenhart is one of the state police located, in Strouds burg. REPUBLICANS LEAD IN REGIS TRATION. Registration officials at the vari ous polling places in Scranton had little trouble with the new registra tion law Friday or in getting the vo ters to declare their party affiliation, according to reports received at the offices of the registration commis sioners. Indications at a late hour were that the first day's registration was the heaviest that it has been for years. Indications also are that the Washington party registration is nearly four to one smaller than the Republican party registration. The general synopsis of the figures ' ob tainable show that about four Re publicans registered where two Dem ocrats and one Washington party voter registered. The light registration of Washing ton party voters is something of a puzzle to the politicians, as it was expected that there would be an unusual heavy registration under this party classification. That the Republicans should register such a large number of voters in all sec tions of the city and the Washington party such a small number leads the wise ones to believe that those who left the party last Fall on national Issues are returning to the party this Fall on county Issues. TRIBUTE TO A WAYNE COUNTY MAN. Among tho " Afternoon Echoes " of the Scranton Truth in its. issue for August 28, we caught the following about the Superintendent of the Hos pital for the Criminal Insane at Far view: " While in Carbondale, the famous Judge Ben B. Linsey of Denver, who was called to the Pioneer City to ad dress the Chautauqua, paid a high compliment to a former resident of this city, Dr. T. C. Fitzsimmons, now superintendent of tho State Hospital for tho Criminal Insane at Farview. Speaking of tho new method of treat ment for the unfortunate man who comes under tho ban of the law, the judge thought It well that ho Is re- garded as a human being. Tho Judge described the method adopted at Far view of putting inmates on their honor in giving them a certain meas ure of liberty and said 'that such measures have been far more effeC' tive as a restraint than placing a large armed guard over the man.' Dr. Fitzsimmons is a brother of John Fitzsimmons, the well known local insurance man, and of tho late Col. F. J. Fitzsimmons, lawyer and news paper owner. The Fitzsimmons family was a Wayne county institution. Their home and farm was In Canaan town ship, right in the neighborhood of Farview. NO COMMITTEEMEN TO HE ELECTED THIS FALL There has been some misunder standing regarding the new primary law as to just what offices will bo filled this fall. It appears now that committeemen will not bo eelcted un til tho spring primary, although It was advertised and petitions have been filed for this office. Solicitor Homer Greene has made a careful study of tho new primary law and the fact that committeemen do not have to be elected now, Is one of the discoveries which ho made. 'Without a doubt Wayne county will be more correct than the majority of counties In the state, as Solicitor Qreeno has studied he new law day and night in order that It be rightly followed. It will probably be a year before the law will be as it was intended. HTS OF C OVEI EIGHT HUNDRED KXIGHTS KNIG I1AHHE, SCRAXTOX, CARBONDALE AX1) OTHER ARRIVED OX SPECIAL TRAINS.

Attended Memorial Mnss. At 8 o'clock, the members of the Honesdale Council, 100 strong, at tenaed Memorial services at St. Mary 'Magdalen Roman Catholic church, where mass was celebrated and a strong, scholarly, vigorous sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Balta. The sermon was along the lines of the duties and responsi bilities of this' magnificent order, and the powerful influence which it could exert for good, not only by their own acts but the influenco which they would exert upon others. At 2 p. m. another special train on the Erie arrived from Port Jer vis, bringing 100 Knights from that and intermediate towns, including Hawley and While Mills.

Every country in the world lays claim to its full share of this coveted virtue and vie with one another in Its practices. "Its exercise is proof of the high est refinement and its effect a proof of culture. So on this occasion in extending to you a most hospitable welcome and kindly greeting upon "yQur visit to our town, we feel that we are carrying out a custom which had its origin in prehistoric times In olden times when cities were for tified by gates as a protection agajnst the iiivislon of enemies, It sometimes occurred, though on rare occasions and as a mark of the greatest hospitality, the gates were thrown open and the city given over to honored guests. Cities and towns however have long since outgrown these necessities, excepting In Im agination and in the spirit of imagl naton, we to-day throw our gates wide open and lay the keys aside to be used no more during your stay with us. While you as brother Knights of Columbus are the Immediate and honored of our council, in a broader and more general sense, you are the guests of our town, and as guests of our town, I extend to you a welcome and the hospitality of our town and of our people. As brother Knights of Columbus, I extend to you a welcome and kind ly greeting from each and every member of our council. "We trust that In the few hours which you will be with us that you may gain an Impression so favorable that when occasion offers itself again wo may have the pleasure of repeating to you the welcome and greeting which we extend to you to-day. both favorable and lasting, and that when you will go from among us you will carry with you pleasant memories of your visit here. Musical Program Excellent. The Boys' Band of Honesdale, un der the direction of Robert Dorin, furnished excellent 'music. Joseph W. Bodle presided at tho piano and rendered some choice selections. Wm. F. Kallighan, John Carroll, Edward Brown and Henry Theo bald, sang several solos to the great delight of the audience. Many of the selections were vigorously en cored. Mr. McSwlgan, State Deputy from Pittsburg,, N. P. Kennedy, dis trict deputy of Scranton, and other of the visiting members were called upon, all of whom responded and made many complimentary remarks regarding Honesdale and their visit here. Rev. John J. O'Toolo, pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic church and Rev. Dr. J. W. Balta, pastor of St. Mary Magdalen's Roman Catholic church were called upon for speeches, and both received a very remarkable reception from the mem bers present. Visiting Knights Pleased With Town The visiting members made' a most favorable Impression upon the citi zens of Honesdalo on account of their personal appearance and the man ner In which they conducted them selves while here. Robert J. Mur ray was chairman of the arrange ments committee and to him Is due to a largo extent the great success of tho occasion. Mr, Murray spent a great deal of time and energy In perfecting every detail of the ar rangements and the result showed the success with which his efforts were rewarded. Father O'Toole's Welcome nt Church. Father O'Toole spoke in part as j For the successful uplifting of any ! man, you must first convince him that he can uplift himself, follows: The best reward for any effort is the feeling that the work we have done is In some measure understood, and in some measure appreciated by at least a few persons. The Knights of Columbus are powerful and help ful factors in working out the great problems of life. They are efficient forces in pointing out the true way to the greatest good and the easiest way from the greatest harm. Man is made or removed by his surroundings. He is mentally, mor ally, and physically impressed, if not altogether shaped, by them. The life of every man has its pur pose and consequent duties. Not a plant that sprfngs from the earth, but performs some part in the de sign of creation; and since the rule applies to the most insignificant items in the Divine plan, what rea son or excuse can man have to evade the universal responsibility? The life of the humblest blade of grass growing on the hillside Is nobler In comparison than the man who passes his time to no purpose. To live here on Earth as God in tends each one of us to live, is to be an active force in the world's des tiny, and whether one be a great or an humble factor in what his time accomplishes, a factor he must be to fulfill the purpose of his creation. He only truly lives whose lite means something accomplished, and something in course of accomplish ment. The Knights of Columbus havo accomplished much in the past, and with God's help will accomplish more In the future. On Sunday night at Milwaukee, uk. 10, at a mass meeting in con nection with the National convention of the Catholic Federation, Cardinal Gibbons delivered a powerful address that ""Laymen must bo more active." In speaking of the many forceful agencies zealously engaged in better ing the condition of mankind, the Cardinal paid this fitting compliment to the Knights of Columbus: "'And if I may single out one society with out prejudice to the merits of others, I will name In a particular manner that splendid organization, the Knights of Columbus. They are our joy and our crown. They are the glory of Jerusalem. They are the joy of Israel. They are tho honor of our people. Wherever calumny raises its foul head, they are ever ready, like' true Knights, to smite the ene my. Wherever an appeal is made in the cause of religion or charity, they are always foremost in lending a helping hand. The brightest page of American history contains three illustrious and immortal figures, a Catholic Queen, a Catholic Sailor and a Catholic Monk, typifying Faith, Hope and Charity. The greatest event in modern times was the discovery of America, and since then the greatest historic event was the American .Revolution, which made possible individual liber ty and popular government on this continent. Liberty is God's greatest gift to man, Christian liberty is freedom to do good for the love of God and the love of man. Civil liberty, religious freedom and the education of our people make tho life-blood of this great and grand and prosperous re public. The Stars and Stripes are the elo quent emblazonment of human lib erty. The brave Colonists flung down the rule of King George the Third, and set up the rule of the peo ple; Ithe signers of the Immortal Declaration of Independence pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to America's Magna Charta, the charter of our liberties, which proclaimed to all the world that all men are created equal; that all have a right to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness; that hu man governments are not for kings and princes, but for the welfare of the people. The history of America clearly and emphatically proves that we Catholics have no apology to mako for being here. Wo a"sk for no special privilege wo simply want and with God's help, shall accept nothing less than equal rights with our non-Catholic neighbors. Wo do not ask for a political office of trust or honor because we are Catholics, but because we are American 'citi zens, and wo should not have votes cast against us because we are Cath olics. We love God; we lovo our fellow- man, we love our church, wo lovo our holy religion, and if you want to know why we' lovo these, listen to oue of tho greatest minds and states men of the nineteenth century, the Right Honorable William E. Glad stone, who has said: "Tho Catholic church has marched for fifteen hun dred years at the head of civilization, and has harnessed to her chariot, as tho horses of a triumphal car, the chief Intellectual and material forces of the world; her art, the art of tho world; her genius, the genius of the world; her greatness, her glory, her grandeur and majesty, have been al most, though not absolutely, all that in tliese respects the world has to boast of. Her children are more numerous than all tho children of tho sects combined; she is every day enlarging tho boundaries of her vast empire; her altars are raised In every clime and her missionaries are to be found wherever there are men to be taught tho Gospel of Immortal ity, and souls to be saved. And this wondrous church, which Is as old as Christianity, and as universal as mankind, is td-day, after its twenty centuries of age, as fresh and vigor wis and as fruitful as on the day when the Pentecostal fires were showered upon the earth." The following took part In tho special musical program: Mrs, Caul van, Tevln O'Broln, Edward Caufleld, violins; song selections by Katherlne FInerty, Thomas Flnerty,, John Car roll, William Kallighan; organists Elizabeth uauneid and Beautrlce Ha vey HAWLEY WINS DEAD,.
