Found Guilty and Sentenced.

Harry Letcher, of Cranberry, who
shot Brakeman Kennedy several weeks
ago while passing on a D. S. & S. train,
was tried at Wilkes Barre on Thursday
and the jury returned verdict of felo-
niously wounding with recommenda-
ton for mercy. Letcher was sentenced
to pay fine of $40, the costs of the
prosecution and spend six months in
Jail.
John McCoolick, the Hungarian, who,
in drunken row, shot two men and ac-
cidentally killed a child near Wilkes
Barre last spring, was convicted of mur-
der in the second degree. He was
sentenced by Judge Rice to eighteen
years in the eastern penetentiary, one of
the heaviest sentences ever given in
this county.

Freeland's Election Districts.

B. r. Jones, FL. S. McNair and T. w.
McHugh, who were appointed to divide
Freeland into election districts, met at
Peter Timony's hotel on Thursday.
Several citizens of the borough were
present, and after hearing their views
the commissioners divided the town in
to four districts, as follows:
First district-East of Centre and north
of Main streets.
Second district-East of Centre and
south of Main streets.
Third distrct-West of Centre and
south of Main streets.
Fourth district-West of Centre and
north of Main streets.
The boundaries of the districts appear
to give general satisfaction. The appli-
cation for the division of the borough
into wards is now before the court, and
will be completed before the next spring
election. The ward boundaries, it is
presumed, will be the same as the cleo
tion districts.
The residents of Coke addition, Wood
side old houses and such other parts of
the town that were not annexed to the
borough, will be given polling place
some time this month.

Death of a Young Man.

Joseph Kavanaugh, young man
about 20 years of age, died here yester-
day after a brief illness. He was a
barber by trade, and for the past few
months has been looking for work in
various parts of the state. A week ago
last Thursday he came to Freeland and
was given employment in the shop Of
Joseph Carey. He worked until Mon
day, when he was attacked with slight
cold. The usual remedies were ad-
ministered by Mrs. Carey, and the fol-
lowing day he appeared to be better.
However, on Wednesday he took chill
and again had to take to his bed. DR..
Morton was called and treated him.
The physician stated that the young
mans system was completely run down.
He was given the best of care and medi-
cal attention, but did not seem to i'm
prove any until Saturday. The rally
was OF short duration, as on Saturday
night congestion of the brain set in.
Yesterday morning Dr. Morton and DR..
Wentz held consultation and it was
found that the patient was in the first
stage of typhoid fever. His constitution
was not of the kind to stand severe
strain, and he began to sink rapidly dur
ing the day. At about O'Clock last
evening he expired.
Nothing was left undone to relieve
the young man. He was not acquainted
with any one in the town, but was ac-
corded the hest treatment and attention
that could be bestowed upon stranger.
After taking sick he stated his home was
at Watertown, N. Y, and his widowed
mother, Mrs. Jane Kavanaugh, was
notified yesterday of his illness and re-
quested to come here
The board of health has given per-
mission to hold the remains until this
afternoon, as some of bis relatives are
expected here by that time. The inter-
ment will take place in st. AIMS ceme-
tnry

Arrested for False Pretense.

John Robbins, of Wilkes-Barre, has
brought novel suit before Squire Ford
He says he came to this country from
Australia six years ago. Before leaving
his native land he became engaged to a
young girl named Fannie Stephana.
They were to be married as soon as
Robbins obtained home in this country.
By industry and economy Robbins did
obtain the home. Besides, he sent the
girl many valuable presents, including a
gold watch.
Six months ago Robbins sent for Miss
Stephana, telling her he was now in a
position to marry. The girl sailed for
America, but in the meantime her lover
had met with an accident, which some-
what disfgured his face. When the
two met the girl, to use Robbins own
words, "soured on him." She at once
took up with another young man, and it
is said they are now engaged to be mar
ried. Robbins then brought suit against
his former sweetheart for obtaining
goods under false pretense. She was
held in $500 bail for further hearing.
