A BAD MIXUP.

As a result of being engaged In a
fight yesterday afternoon on the street,
w. A. Cleveland and A. +. Healey were
fined $3.50 and $3.50 respectively by AL
derman John. before whom they were
taken. Patrolman Matthews made the
arrest. Both men paid their fines and
left, uttering dire threats of further
recourse to law.
The fight occurred about 3.45 o'clock
on North Main avenue, near Cleve-
lands market, and seems to be the
climax of a long standing difference
between the two men. The real or ac-
tual beginning of hostilties Is not
clearly defined, but from the evidence
of eye-witnesses 1t appears that
Healey, who is a delivery clerk for a
West Scranton grocer. was standing
on the curb near Cleveland's place Of
business in conversation with his
(Healey's) brother Cleveland ap-
preached, addressed Healey and called
him a thief With a repetition of this
insult, Healey's brother advised fight,
and that is just what took place.
No one knows, or will tell, who struck
first. but Healey smashed Cleveland on
the head with a large iron hay hook
which he held in his hand. The curved
hook and Cleveland's derby hat pre-
vented a nasty wound. AS It was, the
point cut into the scalp and ripped
along about two inches. Cleveland
drew back and some one called his
wife. She and her sister came running
downstairs and. with two dogs, one a
large Newfoundland, the other a small
cur. Joined forces with Cleveland.
Healey took to his heels with the whole
lot after him. The dogs brought him
to bay near one of the night lunch
wagons just across the street.
Here Cleveland got a slash with the
hook in his right arm. Two big rents
We're made in the sleeves of his coat
and shirt. The forearm was slightly
cut. He at last succeeded in gaining
a hold on the hook, one Of the women
anchored fast to Healeys hair, while
one of the dogs took hold of his trouser
leg. They dragged him out into the
street. Healey fought and screamed,
but hung to the hook until literally
battered wrenched and frightened he
got loose. Cleveland did not attempt
to take advantage after getting pos
session of the hook, but walked away.
The woman got in one more slap and
Patrolman Matthews. who was COM
ing down the avenue about two blocks
above, arrived at this moment and
placed the combatants Chat is, the
mem under arrest. A hearing was i'm
mediately given them. The secret OF
the trouble then leaked out. Healey
was short in his collections when he
worked for the Clevelands-accordin
to them, AS an offset he claimed 'as
much again and more. too" for wages
still due him.
They were advised to refrain from
another such miXup, which at the time
seemed about TO end in murder. Mrs
Cleveland, however, offered Healey s;
if he would give her a chance to lick
him. Just once" she almost pleaded

In his endeavors to find his runaway
daughter, solicitous father has COM
mtted an offense for which he will
have to answer to the United States
government.
In this column yesterday was noted
the escapade of Sophia Friendenschuss,
of Moltke avenue, the girl who week
ago run away from her home and
whose whereabouts are now unknown.
When the girl went 30 Dalton she
wrote letter to Rose Musil, COM
panion, who lives on No. 5 mountain,
and whose mail has been for many
months left at the FriendensChuss
homestead, owing to Roses home not
being in the limits of the mail deliv-
cry. When the letter, which was ad-
dressed Miss Rose Musil No. Noun
tain, Scranton, Pa" was left at the
residence of Friandenschuss he rccog-
nized the penmanship of his daughter,
and opened the letter and learned
where she was located. The letter was
a short one, telling of her lucky es-
cape from home" as she put 1t, and
extending hearty invitation for Rose
to visit her, and Tell Joe everything
is all right"
Miss Musil ascertained that Friend
enSchuss had the letter and yesterday
morning she went before Alderman
Ruddy, of the Twentieth ward, and
had a warrant issued for his arrest on
the charge of opening and keeping a
mailed letter addressed to her. The
defendant was arraigned for a hearing
last evening. Friendenschuss admitted
opening the letter, but made no further
statement, and entered bail in the sum
of $500.
Alderman Ruddy's jurisdiction in the
| case is questioned by Friendenschuss
who holds that it must be heard by
! a United States commissioner.
