A MOBILE MAGUIRB MURDER,
An Engineer Of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company Killed by
NIuSlxnd NncIa

PoTTsvnLE. Pa, July %. - James
Wood, aged 60, engineer of stationary
engine for the Leigh Coal and Transporta-
tion Company, was murdered last night
at Bull Run, between Tamaqua and Sum-
NIT Hill, by masked men.
Revenge seems to have been the motive,
as the money Wood had with him was not
taken. The old haunts of the Mo]lie
Maguires have been turbulent for several
days past and this murder is believed to
be their work.

HELD FOR COURT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Courtney were arraiened
before Mayor Almond Friday morning %
answer the charge preferred by MIR. Tat
nall. William o. Spruance appeared for
the defendants, and retired with Mr.,
Courtney for brief consultation. The
police office was fairly jammed with spec
tators and witnesses, long list of the
latter having been summoned.
The consultation between Mr.. Courtney
and his counsel lasted but few minutes
and Mr.. Spruance then addressed the
Mayor saying that the law defined the
jurisdiction of His Honor in this case as
merely that of justice of the peace and
in that capacity, he was only empowered
to impose a fine of $40. He then
announced that he was ready to proceed
with the trial.
Mayor Almond replied that he was
satisfied from Mr.. Tatnalrs statement of
the case to him that it was one which
should be tried before a jury. 1t was too
important case to be disposed of by one
who is empowered to infiict no severer
penalty than simple fine.
Mr.. Spruance said: SIN that case we
deem it better to waive hearing"
The Mayor thereupon directed Mr.. and
Mrs. Courtney to furnish $500 bail each
for their appearance at court.
