THE ASSAILANT OF
N0VACK IS in JAIL
Mike Koket Threw the Stone Which
Caused the Injury.
BETRAYED BY HIS COMPANIONS
Three OF the Attackers, When Are
rested, Fearing They Would BE
Called TO Answer for the Couse.
quences of the CowardIy Assault,
Make Clean Breast of the Affair
TO County Detective Leyshou--Ko-
ket Admits His Guilt.

The assailants of Andrew Novack
have been rounded up by County De-
tective Leyshon and the man who
threw the stone which caused the prob
ably fatal wound is now i'm the county
Jail. His name is Michael Koket and
he was taken into custody yesterday
morning by Constable Richard Barron,
of Dickson City.
Saturday night County Detective
Leyshon, Constable Barron and Special
officer Morris, of Olyphant, arrested
three of the crowd which participated
in the assault. They are Stanley and
Andrew Grutkoski. of Priceburg, and
Joe Goldfish. of Olyphant. They were
given q hearing before Squire Logan,
of Dickson City, and held under $500
bail to answer at court. Their friends
who came around to go their security
advised the prisoners to tell who the
stone-throwers were in order that they
themselves might not be held for the
crime, and after "A time they thought
this was a wise suggestion and they
told everything they knew concerning
the affair to the county detective.
Koket, they said. threw the stone
which hit Novack on the head, and
John Zolochiski also threw at Novack.
They did not know whether or not any
of the stones thrown by the latter
caused damage. Koket was found by
Constable Barron and Zolochiski was
carralled by County Detective Ley
shon. The former could not furnish
$1,000 bail and was committed by
Squire Logan to the county jail. John
Mayock became ZoloChiski's bondsman
in the sum of $500 and he was released.
Koket as much as admitted his guilt.
The story told by the informers is
virtually the same as that which the
county detective CLEANED from his pre-
vious Investigations, and which was
printed in The Tribune. The only ad-
ditional light thrown on the affair was
the animus which moved the assail-
ants in their attack on NOvaCk. He is
a Polander, it appears, and the others
are Hungarians. There is bad blood
between the members of these two
races in that locality and quarrels
have not been infrequent Novack
was especially disliked by the Hun
garians and when this particular crowd
of them became intoxicated they ag-
gravated him by throwing stones at
his house, and when he came out, threw
stones at him.
Novack was, if anything, a little
worse last night.

GREEN GOODS OPERATOR.
He Is Flooding This Vicinity with a
Seductive Circular Calculated TO
Catch the Uuwary.

A green goods operator who says
his headquarters are at Pocantico
Hills, New York, is flooding this vicin-
ity with unique circular of which the
following is an excerpt.
The writer is an expert engraver, hav-
ing for twenty-five years been employed
in the bureau of engraving, Washington
ID. c., and for twelve years was superin-
tendent of one of the largest bank note
companies in the country. During my
leisure | took up as n side issue the du-
plication of ones, five's and tens, and as
these were the original denominations
had worked upon you can believe me
when | say they are perfect duplicates.
Now my dear sir, I am fully aware of
the suspicion and prejudice that you nat
urally will entertain for my proposition
as you will on first thought, class it as
coming from "A green goods or sawdust
swindler, but If you will lay aside that
prejudice, apply common sense and look
at my proposition from a business stand
point, compare it with the methods of
these petty swindlers and you will credit
me with not being fool enough to waste
my time addressing man of your In
teligence and standing in the commu-
nifty.
The methods of the so-called green
goods swindlers have been exposed from
time to time in the daily press--They send
out seductive circular letters to ignorant
farmers, with q newspaper clipping in re-
gard to counterfeit money, etc, falsely
pretending they are the parties spoken
of in the article. and Offering to sell that
which they have not, inducing them to
send on their hard earned money and
sending them a valise of sawdust or a
brick or some such in return.
Now. compare these methods with my
proposition: Firstly, 1 am not addressing
an ignorant farmer Secondly, / do not
want you to send me one cent What I
want to know is whether you will be will
ing to cooperate with me in the disposal
of my goods providing 1 prove to you
beyond all doubt, that my work is all I
claim for 1t, that it cannot be told from
the genuine, even by experts. Under
stand l do not want you to invest one
dollar until you have examined my entire
stock from one to one hundred thousand
dollars, compare them with the genuine
and in fact submit them to any test you
see fit, then after you are thoroughly sat
isfied on every point, you can decide
whether you accept my proposition or
not. The fact is, an investment of $500
will give you an immediate return that a
| life time of toll in your present business
would not do; this without injurng
| friends neighbors or your fellow-man.
! To convince you of the safety of the
| business / will, upon receipt of telegram
AS per enclosed note-send you a sample
| of my work and / will also appoint a
place to meet you, so that you can per-
sonally examine my entire stock.
This remarkable letter is marked con-
| fidential and the receiver Is asked as a
man of honor to regard it as such. 1t is
| just possible that there are few per-
sons in the city credulous enough
to reply to the letter.

"The Klondilke Craze or the Race for
Riches, in the Light of the Bible" was
the topic of a discussion by Rev. DIR.
James Mcleod in the Presbyterian
church last night. 1t was the first of
series of Sunday evening lectures
and was heard by a large congrega-
tion
DR.. McLeod's text was 1 Timothy,
WHO. For the love of money is the
root of all evil; which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the
faith, and pierced themselves through
with many SORROWS" He introduced
his lecture by his topical reference to
the yellow metal, it's philosophy and
its uses and abuses. The present
Klondike excitement served as
means to illustrate now men will under
go all manners of Drivasions and hard
ships and death in a chase for gold, n
chase so uncertain ana unfruitful that
hut a few paltry dollars per capita will
be realized by the greedy men who
undertake to hunt the elusive stuff.
The hclplessness OF the wish and the
futility of the gold and wealth, Dr.
Mcleod remarked, We're constantly ap-
parent. Riches colt1 not purchase
sleep, happiness or access to heaven.
1t was, in fact, easier for those in mod
crate circumstances to attain those
goals, all other things being equal, as
the less wealthier classes were not
handicapped and overburdened with
the trials and responsibilities which
weighed upon the class of afiluence.
This comment was based upon the
common verdict that the richer classes
did not give of their store with the
same proportionate generosity and
charity as did those in more moderate
circumstances.
