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.

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.

Sunday. August 31st, 1913, was
looked forward to by the local
Knights of Columbus with much an
ticipation, as onHhat day, they and a
large number of visiting Knights
were to have exemplified here the
third degree of the order. More
than 800 Knights arrived on the
special train over the Delaware &
Hudson at 11 o'clok a. m ' taking
in all the towns on that line from
Wilkes-Barre to Carbondale, includ
ing ' Forest City, Dunmore and the
entire valley. This delegation pre
ceded at once to St. John's Roman
Catholic church where Mass was
celebrated by Rev. Edward H.
Burke, assistant pastor, and a ser
mon preached by the pastor Rev. J.
J. O Toole.
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. At 2:30
the exercises began in the State Arm
ory. The third degree was exem
plified by District Deputy N. P. Ken
nedy of Scranton, and Thomas J.
McLaughlin of Newark, N. J. A
large number of honorary guests
were present from Pittsburg, Phila

Chas. A. McCarty's Address.
The opening address was made by

things said:

embodied the national history of the
fatherland and immortalized Irish
hospitalitr.
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."
