| BEFORE BREAKFAST.

Horses were never so cheap as they
are at the present time, owing to the
general use of the bicycle and trolley.
There is therefore little excuse for
using a horse that is old and worn
out, or one that is suffering from sick
ness or harness sores. Yet we see
horses every day on our streets whose
carcasses are fit only for fertilizer.
1t is to prevent the merciless use of
snch animals, that the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was
organized, and still has an existence.
For the past four years the burden of
the work has fallen on two or three
men who hava had the interest of the
dumb brute at heart. There is a move
ment now on foot to reorganize this
society and put it on better footing
for the prosecution of the work. To
this end a meeting will be held Fri
day evening in the board of trade
rooms at s o'clock. Let there be a
large attendance that the society may
continue its useful life in this commu-
nifty.

the assessing of a dog against you was

in Trcspass.

j. c. King, the secondhand goods
merchant doing business in a part of
the old stove works building on West
Lackawanna avenue, spent last night

ANDREW NOVACK'S
SKULL FRACTURED
Taken 10 the Hospital by Man Who Said
lie Was His Brother.
TWO CONFLICTING STORIES ABOUT 1T
The Brother Said That Andrew Was
Hurt in the Mines Some Timc Ago.
His Wife Said the Next Day the
Injury Was Inflicted by n Brick
Thrown by Some Unknown Person.
Novack VIII Probably Die.

Andrew Novack lies at the Lacka-
wanna hospital, his death momentar-
lily expected as the result of n dapres-
sion of skull, caused by a blow from some
heavy article. The case has a mysteri-
Gus feature. Novack was brought to
the hospital last Tuesday by man
who said he was his brother, John
Novack. The story then given to the
hospital physicians was that Novack
was injured in the mine by fall. His
back, they said was hurt.
For three months, said the brother,
Andrew had lain in bed. He could not
talk, he could not understand what
was said; he ate only little and was
mo good" he could not work. They
never had a physician attend to the
man seeing no external injury. SO
they decided to take him to the hos
ptal.
This was the story given by the
brother. DR.. Newbury examined the
man and discovered on the top of his
head over the right eye small cut
The wound was examined and the
physicians found that the skull had
been depressed upon the brain matter,
thus explaining the semi mi-consciousness
of the patient. The depression was at
once trephinsd, that is: the fragments
of skull were removed from their rest
ing place on the brain.
MRS. NovACK'S STORY.
Novack seemed to revive instantly.
His stupor left him and he spoke a few
words. DR.. Newburg was suspicious
of the story told by the brother John
and the next day. Wednesday, the
wife of the last named came to the
hospital. She was questioned through
an interpreter concerning the manner
in which Novack received his wounds.
"Was he hurt in the mines?"
mo, no." the woman answered; him
come home from work, eat meal and
was sitting on porch and some one hit
him on head with a brick" The sus-
| picion of fowl play were thus confirm
| ed.
Since that time no one has called
| at the hospital to inquire after the
man. Yesterday DR.. Newburg report
ed the case to coroner Longstreet who
in turn informed County Detective
Leyshon.
The last named will begin to work
on the case today. No address was
left at the hospital further than that
Novack lives in North Scranton. The
only likely name in the directory is
Joseph Novack of 1914 Lloyd Street.
A Tribune reporter called at the house
last evening but Joseph Novack said he
knew nothing whatever of such a man
Andrew : vack. Also, that he had nc
relatives II ne hospital.
Novacks condition is uncertain. The
long period of suffering from the
dangerous wound makes his recovery
unlikely.
He is in half stupor and can say
nothing about the manner of his mis-.
fortunes.
