CASES AT COURT
IN WHICH TOWN PEOPLE FL
CURE AS PRINCIPALS.
PECULIAR PHASES OF THE SUITS
A Polish Grocer Receives a
Sentence But Gets of Easy.
An Old Case Reoalled.-The
Sentences.

The case of the Commonwealth VS.. Slime
Skrobul, who was convicted of assault and
battery and larceny, was called up before
the court " terday. District Attorney
Koch called the defendant up for sentence,
and after statements made by counsel on
both sides, Judge Bechtel sentenced Skrobul
to pay the costs and fine Of SIS.
Skrobuls case was complicated one
Some time ago Constable Thomas Tosh
went to Frsckville to attach household
goods belonging to man who was going
West before settling bill due Skrobul for
groceries. Tosh seized the goods at the
Frackville station of the p. & r. railroad
where they had been carted by a wagon
from town. Tosh got in hot water when
he seized the goods as the woman who
owned them few into passion and started
to pound him. After struggle Tosh sue
ceeded in placing the woman under arrest
and had her put under bail on two charges,
one for interfering with an officer and one
for assault and battery. The woman sub
sequently settled the suits and went West.
Tosh brought the goods back to town and
placed them in storage house owned by
Skrobul. The attachment case was
to be heard before Squire Williams,
but Skrobul did not appear and an order
releasing the goods we're given. Constable
Tosh went to the storage house, but the
Skrobuls refused to let him take the goods.
When Tosh persisted in his efforts Skrobul
and his father assaulted him. Tosh then
had the father and son arrested on two
charges, assault and battery and larceny as
bsilees. They were convicted at Pottsville,
but failed to appear ~for sentence. The
court then issued a cspias against them.
Upon their arrest under the capiss Philip
Yedinski gave bail for their appearance
before the Pottsville court on Monday,
December 18th. On that Gay the two men
again failed to appear. On the night OF
that day Constables Tosh and Phillips went
on quiet hunt for Skrobul and his father
and after q search covering several
hours the two men were landed in the
lookup, but not until the younger of the
men made desperate hand TO hand fight
with the constsbles against going into q
cell tor the night.
Taking all these circumstances into con-
siderstion Stine Skrobul cannot complain
that the sentence he received was severe
one.

The Witch.

The play which COM to the opera house
this evening will be found worthy of its
audience. 1t is the celebrated colonial
drama, "The Witch" and H. star is that
sincere and sympathic actress, Miss Marie
Hubert Frohman. OF the production in
New York City the World says: 1.-THE
Witch is genuine drama. 1t is in FIVE
acts and it does not suggest either Uncle
Toms Cabin or Shenandoah fact that
i rather surprising when it is remembered
that The Witch is American. The drama
deals most Interestingly with old witchcrs.t
days in Salem, Mass, and tells really
pathetic love story with a wealth OF pic
turesque and apparently accurate coloring.
The subject Of the play is one in which we
have all felt the pique of interest 1t is one
that puts us, moreover, upon very good
terms with ourselves, for it shows us that
with all our little pet superstitions enlight-
eminent in two centuries has swept away a
thousand degrading beliefs with the energy
of q cyclone"
