SENSATION AT COURT.
Irrcs sniaritics That May save the Neck OF
Frank Shaffcr.

Frank Shaffcr.
A sensation occurred in the criminal
court here yesterday when the dlstrlSt
attorney announced that Peter Wassi'
alias "Terrible Pete" would be the
first to be tried on the list, the charge
being murder in the first degree. Ii was
alleged thai he killed countryman OF
his named Peter kupersaNage some
two months ago. Eugene Ward, ms
attorney. asked for a continuance OF
the case. which was refused.
Mr. Ward at once filed objections IN
report to cuash the array OF Jurors
drawn to serve mex. week on the
ground tha. the recently elected jury
commissioners. Taylor and Dahl, had
failed % take the oath of Office as re-
quired by law. and claimed that all OF
the panels of jurors drawn were irreS-
ular and void. and that he would show
this to be the fac( and prove 1t by the
Jury commissioners themselves.
Judge Eennet then continued the case
until 10 o'clock tomorrow to give Mr.
Ward a chance to bring the jury COM
missiOners into court If he can prove
his charge the entire panels OF January
March and April grand juries, common
pleas and quarter sessions panels OF
juries will be illegal and all prisoners
convicted bv them will have to be re-
tried. Frank Shaffer. the mountain
cut-ofT murderer. would be acquitted.
because he was .ried by an irregular
jury and the law says man cannot
be tried twice for his life

tween scranton and Crystal Lake, they
have not given up the work and things
look a little brighter. A meeting was
appointed for last Friday evening, but
as few delegates from down the valley
put in their appearance. 1t was post
poned. The boys think that some point
between here and Scranton should be
selected for a meeting, and according
ly have secured hall in Olyphant.
where all wheelmen in the valley inter-
ested in the movement will meet Fri
day evening" All those who desire to
&c from this place should meet at the
club rooms at $50 sharp, from where
they will go to Olyphant on their
wheels.
A little impetus and encouragement
has been given to the work by the fact
that already, without any soliciting on
the part of the club, s23O have been
subscribed for the path. The latest 10
subscribe were Frank Hubbard and
George Patterson. the former giving $50
and the latter s.. Subscription blanks
are now being printed and will be circu-
lated among the wheelmen as soon as
