AFTER FOUR YEARS.
John Suyeta Arrested Here for Fraudu.
lentIy Obtaining $500 at Trenton, N.
j., Will Be Taken Back Today.

Four years ago in Trenton, ". j.,
John Siyeta broke open his boarding
boss trunk. stole his bank book on
which there was a credit Of S40O, forged
the mans signature, got the money
and skipped.
Suyeta was arrested in this city yes
terday morning and will be brought
back to Trenton today. Officer Steve
Dyer made the arrest. Suyeta Is a
Slav, and 80 Is the man whose bank
book he stole. The day the trunk was
broken open the boarding boss was
away from home until late In the even
Ing.
He did not discover his loss until the
next day and he was informed when
he went to the bank that the money
was drawn out. The case was put in
the hands of Detective ]. j. Clancy, of
Trenton, and in a Iew days he tracked
the thief to New York, but lost sight
of him. When he got on his trail
again he found that he had taken pas
sage for Austria.
After a years sojourn abroad Suyeta
returned to this country and took up
his residence In Scranton. Detective
Clancy learned recently that the fel-
low was In Scranton and sent COM
munication to that effect to Chief OF
Police Robling.
The chief worked the case up and
located the fellow employed at the
Brisbin brick yard. The papers were
sent on from New Jersey and Officer
Dyer arrestes. him yesterday. At first
he denied he had committed any crime.
and he said he was never In his life in
Trenton. .....
Detective Clancy and the boarding
boss came to Scranton at 8 o'clock last
night. AS soon as they went to the
police station the boss Identified tn
prisoner readily, although he had
changed greatly In four years, and
when he saw the game was up he con-
fessed that he was the man wanted.
He will be taken back today.

ROVER IS DEAD.
He Was the Dog AutOcrat Of the
Thirteenth Regiment.

"Rover" is dead. He was only dog,
but he was the ugly-lOoking and
crooked-legged pride of Company G..
Thirteenth regiment, the headquarters
of which is at Montrose. He was not
only the pride Of the Montrose COM
pany, but possessed the respect and
esteem of the whole regiment from
Colonel Coursen down to the camp
strikers and buns.
In all of the regiments camps and
trips during the last four years. Rover
has marched and suffered and enjoyed
and tired himself in much the same
fashion as have the privates. He was
of the brindle bull extraction, brutal
visaged and possessed among other
characteristics an abbreviated tail and
an immense military collar containing
his name and address.
Where the dog spent his early child
hood or where his parents lived are
questions which have never been an
swered. He appeared as weary
tramp in Montrose four years ago and
was adopted by Captain McCausland
and Lieutenant Jessup and made a
child Of the regiment. 1t Is said of him
that no soldier wearing a uniform be-
low that of second lieutenant at
tempted a second time to make his ac-
quaintance; he had not the slightest
respect for non-coms. In drill or pa
rade or march he always appeared
with his company. running in and out
of the ranks, snarling, growing and
swapping at the heels Of any citizen
soldier who was out Of line or made
mistake in drill.
Company G is in mourning. 1t is
proposed to have "Rover's" skin
mounted and made a permanent fix
ture of the headquarters room In the
Montrose armory. The news Of his
death will cast pail Of sorrow over
the whole regiment.

pany for twenty-four years and by
merit had arisen to the position Of chief
clerk in the freight department when
four years ago he was promoted to the
position of ticket agent.
Recently the travelling auditors of the
company paid a visit to this city and
found that Coons was short in his ac-
counts. Monday he was dismissed
pending an investigation and yester-
day he was placed under arrest
The auditors are now at work
several days before the exact amount
of the shortage will be known.
VIRTUALLY UNDER ARREST.
Mr.. Coons has been virtually under
arrest since Monday. Immediately
upon his dismissal he was taken into
custody by William Morris. inspector
and special agent Of the Guarantee
Company of North America, which in
stitution was on his bond for $1,000.
That warrant for his arrest was only
sworn out after he confessed his in
ability to secure enough from his
friends to make up the deficiency.
Travelling Auditor \. T. Bridgeman.
of the Delaware. LacKawanna and
Western company. and Special Agent
Morris, of the Guarantee company, are
now going over the accounts TO aScer-
tain the exact amount Of the shortage.
Mr.. CoOns confessed to them that his
pilferings cover a period Of two or
three years.
His manner Of pilfering was quite
unique. the auditors say. The tickets
are arranged in a rack in numerical
order and the agent Is supposed to sell
them in that order He, however,
would sell ticket from the middle of
the stack and rely upon it's absence
being undiscovered, as the auditors
had never taken the trouble to inspect
the stacks. but simply computed the
number of tickets disposed of by sub
tracing from the original number in
the package the number of tickets
that the outside ticket on the pack
age would indicate had been sold.
AMOUNT OF SHORTAGE.
AS all the various stacks of tickets
will have to be examined the exact
amount of the shortage will not be
known for some time. Mr.. Coons ad-
mits that it is upwards of $1,000. ine
auditors think 1t Is more. They also
say that it was on account Of Mr..
CoUr's long and trusted connection
with the company that the travelling
auditors satisfied themselves with the
cursory examination which permitted
him to go undetected so long.
Roger Evans qualified as bOndsman
for Mr.. Coons and he is now at liberty.

Shannon of the SIXTH" the new play
by l.. L. Kidder, which will be produced
at the Academy Of Music next Monday
evening, promises to be one of the nov
elites of the season. 1t contains two Of
the strongest climaxes ever put on the
stage which has for setting a pair
of tine most picturesque scenes than
India can produce. The pomp and cir
cumstance OF war also adds to the ef-
fectiveness Of the climaxes and the
Christians and Erahmins are shown
in conflict with each other.
The Sepoy rebellion of 1857 Is the time
chosen for the drama, when the play
wright, who has been resident in the
land of the HindoO, has drawn largely
upon the history OF that stormy period
for his characters and incidents. One
of the. most interesting scenes in the
play is where the theft of a sacred dia-

Is traced to an English officer by the
aid of occult means.

that many requests have been made for
its repetition. The lecture will probably

done.
