All Slaws ofln!
Can be fitted and suited here.
We have clothes made for the
"hard to fits" and we fit them.
Many stout and slim men who give
up trying to buy clothes ready
made, come here and find exactly
what they want. If you are an
extra tall, short or fat man come
and see what we can do for you.
We'll surprise you with the

to your tailor. We do away with
that and charge you no more than
we do the ordinary built man.

MAN SHOT
Police Officer Kills a Man
in Self-Defense.
Victim Attacked the Blue-
Coat With Steel Knuckles
and the Latter Used His
Revolver.
While Patrolman Thomas Dodd, of
Shenandoah, was passing along a street
in that town Saturday night, he heard
cries for help and upon hastening to the
spot from whibh they emanated found
two men engaged in a tight. The one
was lying on the pavement and Stinoy
Barwlck, kuown to the police as a
dangerous character, was belaboring
him with a club. When the latter saw
the officer ho dropped his weapon and
started down the street on a dead run,
the officer In pursuit.
Dodd came up to bis man In an alloy
way, and the two engaged in a struggle.
Before Dodd knew what had happened
he was dealt several hard blows on the
head with a pair of steel knuckles.
Realizing that his life was In danger the
officer drew his revolver and shot his
assailant In the stomach. With the
blood gushing from an ugly wound the
fellow again took to his heels and was
soon lost in the alley.
Weak and partly dazed Dodd made
his way to the police station and re
ported the occurrence.
When the officers went In search of
Barwlck they found him lying uncon
scious in the middle of the street where
ho had been fighting. He was taken to
the station house and afterward to the
Miners hospital, whore he died.
Dodd surrendered himself at once and
was locked up on a chargo of murder.
Application will be made today for his
release on a writ of haboa9 corpus.
End of Fifteenth Volume.
With this Issue the Tribune closes its
fifteenth volume. For four years It was
published as a weekly, for eight as a
semi-weekly and for three as a tri
weekly. The paper has stt-adily grown
In circulation and prestige and today
easily maintains its position as leader
of Its field. During the fifteen years of
its career none has been more prosper
ous than the one which ends today and
never has the future looked more
brighter than at the present time.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1903.
to the following of the policy laid down
by Its founder—of printing a clean local
paper which can be placed without fear
in the hands of every member of the
home, of standing in the front rank at
all times In defense of Freeland and its
interests and of treating all local sub
jects impartially and honestly in its
colli mns.
To the large number of subscribers
whoso names are on the Tribune's
books, many of which have been there
since the lirst issue of the paper, the
publishers are grateful for the support
given and hope to deserve its continu
ance as fully in the future as in the
past. The same can bo said of those
advertisers who have for years used the
Tribune as a medium to extend their
business.
Without the generous patronage ac
corded us during the past the Tribune
could not have attained its position as
leader of the local news field, and it is
the hope of the publishers that the
pleasant relations existing between the
Tribune and Its patrons may continue
Indefinitely. On our part we give as
surance that we will continue to publish
the best paper that the field and oppor
tunity will permit, and it will appear as
often as the patronage accorded it will
justify.
