Judge Sittser decided on Monday
that in the case of subpGnaing wit
nesses, it was not required to read
the subpoena to witnesses who re-
fused, by getting out Of hearing, to
listen to the reading. In such cases
the fact that the witness is notified
that there is subpoena for him
makes it legal, and the witness
must appear or sutterouthe consequent
ces liable in cases of contempt Of
court,-Tunkhannock Repu6lacan.
John Aumiller of EaglesMere,
while in the act of catching his horse
which was grazing in the. field, on
Saturday, was thrown to the ground
striking his knee on large stone
breaking his knee-pan about
the centre. Mr.. A. had the
beast by the fore-top when
the horse turned suddenly around
throwing him as above stated.
DR.. Hill wasa promptly called and
bandaged the broken bone, and says
that it will require at least eight
weeks Of the summer months to heal
the fractured limb.
The next thing in order for the
town council to consider, will be
the construction of sidewalk 10
the new school house building. The
pavement should be built down King
St, commencing at the corner Of
King and Main SITS. This would
be the most economical site in view
There would be no high trestle,
which if built down Muncy ST.,
would necessitate trestle work if
properly graded and would make it
dangerous for children going and
coming from the school building.
John Gregory, miner, living a
few miles from Wilkes-Barre is on
his death-bed. While delirious
Tuesday he told the story of ter
rible murder committed twenty years
ago. A miner by the name of Keat-
ing mysteriously disappeared at the
time referred to and no trace of him
could be found. The story Of the
dying man is that Keating was met
on his way home and murdered and
thrown into we'll on Gregory's lot,
and the well was filled with sand.
Gregory implicated man who still
lives near there. The well was visi-
ted as soon as the statement was
made and was found full of sand.
A further Investigation will be made
at once.
