car came up unexpectedly behind and
bumped into Cramer's wagon without
doing any particular damage. The
horses however, were badly frightened
and Cramer then began a torrent Of
abuse which appeared TO have no end
ing. He refused to get off the track
ard when one of the car men got hold
of the horses heads to lead them oft.
Cramer pulled his revolver and fired
two shots, one of which went through
the car.
The car was in charge of Conductor
Coffin and Motorman David Orr. whose
! explanation OF the accident is that they
were expecting Cramer would turn
out for them but as he did not they
| applied the brake but were unable to
| bring the car to a standstill before
| it bumped the wagon because of the
| slippery condition of the rails caused
by the rain.
AS soon as the car reached Jermyn
the men gave information to Chief Of
Police Mckinley and demanded Cra-
mer's arrest. The CHIEF started down
town and at the corner of Cemetery
and Main streets met the wagon and
|
surrender the revolver. saying he had
not got one. The revolver was after
wards found underneath the wagon
where it was presumably thrown by
its owner.
Cramer was lodged in the borough
Jail until Saturday morning when he

and carrying concealed weapons. He
was unable to furnish bail of $1,000 on
the first and $500 on the second charge
and was committed to the county jail.
Much sympathy is expressed for his
young wife and children.
