THEY FOUGHT WITH AXES
A Bloody Duel Between TIVE New
Jersey d-ChOppers.
In the Fierce Battle One of the Par
ticipants Lost His Scalp, and
Both were InJu red Badly.

Vineland, n. j., Feb. Two wood
choppers. William Roork and Clarence
Hall. fought bloody duel with axes,
near this place late on Saturday night
and as a result, Roork is lying in his
home. week from loss of blood, racked
with pain, half scalped and covered
with deep wounds that may yet cause
his death. Hall cannot be found.
When Roork crawled into the village
with his CORY tale it was at first
thought that Hall had perished in the
conflict. A searching party fastened
to the scene Of the battle, but Grim.
son trail in the snow leading to trav-
eled road was all they discovered. This
trail indicated that although wounded,
Hall had managed to reach some friend
who is caring for him.
Roork describes the fight as follows:
After cutting wood all day, we got
into a dispute over a division of the
fuel. We had had frequent drinks
from an applejack jug and as the quar-
rel progressed the idea of settling the
dispute with axes was agreed to with
but few preliminaries. / called Hall
liar. Hall returned the compliment in
equally Informal terms, and the duel
was on"
According to Roork, blows that
would have decapitated a horse were
parried with a skill that sent blue
streaks of fire from the ringing steel.
Soon both men were bleeding from
cuts in the breats and arms, and the
snow on which they fought changed TO
one of crimson.
How long the battle lasted / do
not know" Roork said, but l will say
this, 1t was the wickedest affair /
ever got mixed up in. Being younger
and quicker on his feet. Hall had the
advantage of me. In one of his
swings. just as l was recovering from
a blow, the blade of his weapon glanc-
ed across the top of my head and the
scalp went with 1t. Had the ak land
ed an inch lower the top of my skull
would have been clipped off.
The shock knocked me to my
knees, and L was so nearly blinded
with the blood that / could hardly
keep track of Hall. But / knew 1t was
case of life or DEATH SO / kept my
ak swinging while l scrambled to my
feet again. He must have suffered
some damage. too, for j held him at
bay until everything turned black and
l dropped in the snow
When l revived il was night. and
Hall was nowhere to be seen. The
night had left me pretty weak, but /
got on my hands and knees and
crawled home, and that's about all /
know"
An Apache Indian could not have
done a neater job of scalping than that
performed by the ak Of Hall. The
doctor. who is attending Roork. mar
vels that the man ever came out Of the
battle alive. His body is terribly
hacked.

TROLLEY RIDES FOR JURORS.
The Men who VIII Decide sheriff
Martin's Fate Enjoy themselves.

wiIkesbarre. Pa. Feb. THE jury
in the Sheriff Martin case were early
risers yesterday morning. Their quar-
ters in the courthouse are not the best,
being cramped and poorly ventilated.
In charge of the tipstaves they were
taken to the private dining room OF
the Exchange Hotel, where they par
took of a hearty breakfast Mr.. Zeig-
ler the landlord. had prepared an ex-
ira bill of fare. and everything posi-
bic. was done TO make Ii pleasant for
the jurors.
After breakfast the jury boarded an
electric car and took ride to Pitts
ton. No one was admitted but the
jury and their attendants. On their
return they ate an elaborate dinner.
After the MONDAY meal the jurors
expressed a desire to take another
ride. They seemed to prefer riding to
going TO church. Accordingly, another
private car was prepared for them.
and they were taken over the Ply
mouth and Nanticoke route. Return
ing, they went 10 their quarters in the
courthouse until supper time. The
ride seemed to sharpen their appetites.
and they at a good supper. Once more
they returned To their quarters in the
courthouse. where TIE evening was
spent in conversation and various di
versions.

NOT 4 CASE IN EQUITY.
Judge Cox'S Decision in the Mutual
Fire Insu rance Company Election

Judge Cox's Decision in the Mutual
Fire Insur rance Company Election
The persons who question the valid
ity of the election of officers of the Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Company have lost
their suit in equity. and the new board
Of managers will continue to admins
ter the affairs of the company, at least
as far as the equity end of the court
is concerned. Judge Cox this morning
delivered a lengthy opinion denying
their petition for an injunction, and re-
voking the temporary injunction grant
ed on the filing of the bill two weeks
ago.
Judge Cox in his decision held that
the equity court has no Jurisdiction in
the case. Ii was not shown by the
complainants that any pecuniary inter-
est was threatened by the election.
whether it was legal or Illegal. The
managers are the same this year as
last. with one exception, and it is not to
be supposed that the absence OF Mr..
Lambert from the board. six of it's
members remaining the same. could in
flict any damage on the business of
the company.
The only cases. Judge Cox said,
where the question of the validity of a
corporation election might constitute
an equity case. would be where the new
officers might Immediately proceed to
do something pecuniarily prejudicial
to the interests of the company. Judge
Cox suggested that in proper proceed
ings the validity of the election might
be determined.
A large number of the policy holders
Of the company were present in court
To hear the decision.
