Metzger, who is accused of murder
ing an Arabian, is on trial and the case
was given to the jury yesterday. There
was no verdict up to this morning.
Bowman, who is in jail for the same
crime, was witness on Monday. He
told a story the same as when he was on
trial, swearing positively that the pris-
oner did all the shooting, and telling
how Metzger tried, when they met the
day after the murder, to induce him to
run away with him.
The evidence was concluded on Tues
day. The feature of that day was the
testimony of Metzger in his own behalf.
He described how he met Bowman and
was playing cards with him when the
Arabian peddlers came along. He said
that he heard two shots fired, then he
jumped up and ran away. While run
ming he heard two more shots. He went
home, and when he and Bowman met
next day the latter told him he did the
shooting. Metzger said he then became
afraid and went away. He told of his
travels through the West and South.
During the cross-examination he con
tradicted himself quite often, but main
| tained that Bowman did the shooting.

Holiness Christian Meetings.

of the Holiness Christian Association

The Jury Found Him Guilty.

The jury empaneled by Deputy Coro-
ner German to inquire into the death of
John Holodnock, who was shot at Mil
nesville on Sunday night, concluded its
labors on Monday. John Boback, who
was arrested, charged with the crime,
denied his guilt. The only witness be-
sides his wife was George Kovack. The
latter was also shot, but only slightly
wounded. The testimony was so strong
against the prisoner that the jury, after
a brief consultation, brought in YER
dict of deliberate murder. Boback was
taken to the county Jail.

A FEW MORE HOLD-UPS.
CRIME is RAM PANT IN SOME SEC
TlONS OF THIS REGION.

The Driver of Beef Wagon Held Up
and Robbed of So, and an Undertaken
Shot Atone Man Captured and ReIeas-
ed After Paying Light Fine.
The organized band of thugs, who
commenced their work in the lower end
last week, are still at it, and there is no
telling where and when it will end.
The doings of this gang during the past
week have been of such a nature as to
strike terror to the bravest, and on
Tuesday morning, says the Hazleton
Standard, when the news reached this
city to the effect that two more hold-ups
had taken place, the greatest excite
ment prevailed. About o'clock in the
morning John Rauch, driver for the
Ha2leton Beef Company. left Hazleton
with a load of beef for Lattimer. When
half way between the hotel and Latti-
mer junction, he was halted by three
men who sprang from the woods The
one held the horse and the other two
pulled him from the seat and went
through his pockets, obtaining IS, all
the money he had in his possession.
After the plunder was secured Rauch
was permitted to proceed on his journey
without further molestation. He pro-
ceeded as far as Farleys hotel, where
he related what had happened, at the
same time sending word to this city for
the coal and iron police, who responded
promptly. Rauch stated that the men
who committed the deed were not for
eigners. The police made thorough
search of the vicinity, but the robbers
were successful in making good their
escape.
About an hour after this attack Will
liam Walton, driver for Bachman, the
undertaken, who was on his way to Free
land to attend a funeral, was attacked.
This attack was near Ebervale and the
men were coming towards him. When
directly in front of the hearse one of
them drew revolver and fired.
The horses made a short turn, throw
ing Walton off the hearse and slightly
bruising his shoulder, and ran to the
woods, somewhat damaging the hearse,
while the highwaymen made rapid
strides down the road. Walton, after
satisfying himself that the team was all
right, continued his journey to Ebervale.
There he met Chief Hampton, of the
coal and iron police, to whom he related
his experience.
The chief lost no time and went back
Immediately and met the two men,
Tney said they meant no harm, but the
chief arrested one of them, who gave
his name as Doney, and brought him to
this city. He was given hearing be-
fore Alderman Martin last evening and
fined $l4 and costs. He paid the sum
and was discharged.

Peters Love Was Terrific,

Peter Harris is locked in Wilkes barre
jail to prevent him committing suicide,
which he seems determined to do if he
gets the chance. Harris and his sweet
heart had quarrel on Tuesday night
and Harris at once went home, where
he announced that he would kill him
self. He got an old revolver and some
cartridges and tried his best to explode
them, but the revolver was out of order
and would not work. At midnight two
miners, Andy Dane and Tom Loughin,
going home from work, heard groans
from the direction of William Lawson's
yard, which is surrounded by high
fence on which the pickets are close to-
gether, and were Mortified to find Harris
hanging from the pickcts by the neck
and rapidly choking to DEATH While
Dane held the fellow up, Loughlin broke
the pickets and released him. He was
taken home and put to bed in semi
conscious state.
Later in the night he was missed and
two of his relatives going out in search
of him found him again suspended be-
tween two of the pickets on Lawson's
fence and with his neck badly cut by
splinters. He was released, taken back
home and tied down in bed, unit he was
locked uD.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.- The excursion
which was to have left Freeland last
Friday for the purpose of hearing the
great pianist PaderewSki, could not be
carried out, owing to the fact that only
some thirty-five people gave informa-
tion of their wish to go, when it was
necessary to guarantee 100 in order to
obtain the low rates. About twenty
people provided themselves with tickets
to the Paderewski piano recital of last
Saturday at Carnegia hall, and We're
well repaid for their forethought. Every
seat was taken, and standing room, at
81, was quickly disposed of, hundreds
of eager listeners being turned from the
doors.
PaderewsN played as only he can, a
programme comprising works by Bee
thoven, Chopin, Ls2t, and himself.
The piano had to be removed from the
stage after these encores had been res
ponded to, in order to compel the en-
thusiastic audience to leave. Some 4 900
people were present. Many pressed to
