The inhabitants of McAdoo had an
exciting time of it Thursday night with
band of thieves, who in the most dar-
ing manner took possession of the town,
terrorized the citizens and at their
leisure took their booty to the woods in
wagons. 1t was about 1890 o'clock
when six men and woman came down
Blaine street and at the corner Of Tama-
qua selected Abraham Levinton's cloth

could not force the front door and went

and easily broke down the Intervening
partition. Gil was aroused and came
down stairs. lie was met at the bottom
by robber with a revolver who ordered
him back to bed. Then they made Il
prisoner Of Gill by locking the door. He
escaped through the window and brought
his wife and children out the same way
The alarm was then sounded, but it
did not surprise the thieves. Going to
James Devliu'S shed they took out
wagon and dragged it to the store door
The woman stood guard on the wagon,
two men guarding the outposts while

boots, shoes, clothing and jcwery. The

Controller and Warden at 1t Again.

County Controller Joseph D. Lloyd on
Friday notified the prison commissioners
that Jail Warden Boland's term had ey-
pired and that henceforth the prisoners
must be fed by the county and bills for
all provisions for feeding prisoners must
be sent by the merchants to the county
officials for approval, thus disposing of
the wardenS contract The commits
sionerS are warned not to make any
contract whatsoever to feed prisoners at
so much per head as heretofore. This
letter of the controller has stirred up
another sensation and forces the fight
upon the commissioners.
Warden Boland, who is under bonds
to feed the prisoners until his successor
is chosen, will continue the work and
charge the contract price, Lloyd, who
has been beaten at every poiut in trying
to break Buland'S contract, has taken
that case to the supreme court.

Patriotic Band Men.

At meeting of st. Patrick's cornet
band yesterdaythe members unanimously
| decided to offer their services as IL
musical organization to the United
States government. in view of the
threatened war between this country
and Spain. The meeting was the regr-
lar monthly session of the band and
there was full attendance. The ques-
tion was thoroughly discussed before
action was taken, and every member
agreed to stand by the flag and place
himself subject to u call from the
national authorities. The band boys
are in earnest in the matter. and not
seeking any undue notoriety from their
offer. Secretary Frank McGroarty
was instructed to notify President Nc
kinley and Secretary of the War Alger
of the action taken by the band.
John HodgSon, Of Front street, a
graduate of Drifton machine shops,
passed successful examination at
Brooklyn last week as an applicant for
the position of secOnd-clasS machinist in
the United States navy. He came home
on Friday to secure the consent of his
mother, this being necessary, according
to naval regulations, when the applicant
is the only support of Il widowed mother,
Mrs. Hodgson, however, is not willing
that he should enlist just yet, AS she en-
poets him to obtain work at his trade
somewhere where he could help her
more than in the navy. But should his
services be required by the country,
Mrs. Hodgson then will willingly consent
to Johns enlistment.
Jacob Wolf has called meeting of
the citizens of Freeland, to take place
at Yannes hall tomorrow evening, for
the purpose of organizing one or more
companies of militia. The war feeling
is running high in Freeland, and those
who advocate peace at any price" are
noticeably scarce in the coal region.
Anything that looks like a backdown on
the part of Uncle Sam will be loudly
condemned in this section.
