Mrs, Jane Hill, of Scranton, was very
much worried by her son on Saturday
evening, who remained out much later
than she wanted him to. When he
came in at late hour she began to scold
him and worked herself up to such a
frenzy that she ruptured a blood vessel
and died in a short time
When the son saw what trouble his
disobedience had led to he rushed into
the yard and fired six shots to arouse
the neighbors. These shots, coupled
with the old lady's death, were held by
the neighbors to be suspicious.
The coroner failed to find any bullet
wounds on her body, but did find trace
of ruptured blood vessel in her leg.

The Halle township assessment is re-
puted to be in bad shape, due to the
constant interference of outsiders while
it was being made. A number of people
who do not own property have been as
sessed, while others who do own prop
erty no record can be found, and the
consequence is that the township will
lose considerable money this year.
