HIS $4,000 WOULDN'T WORK.
Unpaid Board Bill Lands a Tennes-
see Heir in Jail.

He said he was heir to 100000 and
that he was a Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western shipping clerk, but that
wouldn't pay his four-months' board
bill for himself and wife, and so Mrs.
Near. with whom he boarded on Null
berry street, had him arrested. He
was known as Ben Durbin, native of
Tennessee.
Durbin is about "a years old and his
wife is several years his junior. She
disappeared on Wednesday when the
fitting began for the collection of the
board bill. An admirer of Mrs. Dur
bin" disappeared with her, according
to developments in the case before AL
derman Millar.
1t was stated at the hearing that
Eurbin was mistaken inshis belief that
he worked as shipping clerk for the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company. Alderman Millar committed
him to Jail in default of $500 bail with
the comment that he would haXe op-
portunity to get about 500 of good
Tennessee money with which to pay
Mrs. Near before the next session of
the grand jury.

D., L. & W. BRANCH.
May Possibly be Built Between
TunkhRnnock and FactoryviIIe.

1t is possible that a branch Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
road may be built from Tunkhannock
to Factoryville. Tunkhannock people,
encouraged by Scranton merchants,
have begun to agitate the matter and
a survey will be made. If grade and
route are feasible it is probable that
the right of way will be secured and
the road built with Tunkhannock and
Scranton money, the road to be main
tained by the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company.
The distance is about nine miles. The
most feasible route is thought TO be
within two miles of Lake Carey and
Lake Winola. The cost would be from
SIS, 900 to S1O0, 900. There would be no
bridges and no heavy grades.
