When Milard Hauser was made
postmaster at Water Gap about one
year ago he threatened to make it
warm for the first burglar who entered
his office and yesterday morning he
made good his vow. He shot and prob
ably fatally wounded one of gang
of three burglars who had entered the
postoflice and tried to blow open the
safe.
About 140 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Hauser, who lives next door to the
postoffice heard an explosion. His sus-
picions We're Immediately aroused and
he jumped out of bed, grabbed his
gun and opened a window. On the
pavement in front of the office stood
a man. The fellow started to run
when he heard the postmaster call him
to halt and Hauser fired. The burglar
fell to the pavement mortally wounded.
His pals ran to his assistance and
opened fire on the plucky postmaster.
Six shots were exchanged and it is
believed that another of the burglars
was hit. When the battle became too
warm for them the thieves picked up
their injured companion and carried
him about $50 feet. Then, at the
wounded mans request, they dropped
him in a snow bank and fed.
WOUNDS IN THE BACK.
When the burglar was found he was
bleeding from several ugly buckshot
wounds in the back. He was carried
to a physicians Office and there told
that he could not recover. He re-
fused to give his name or address or
| the names of his companions. The
thieves did not secure any booty. This
is the sixth time in as many years
| that this office has been burglarized
| Hauser surrendered to the district at
torney, but was released on his own
| recognizance.
The injured man was placed on a
| Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
train and taken to this city, arriving
here yesterday afternoon. He was TAX
en- to the Lackawanna hospital. 1t
was apparent that he thought he
would die and he asked for the minis
trations of a priest. Rev Father
| Cough, of the cathedral, attended him.
An examination of the injured man
showed that he had eleven different
shot wounds. Seven of the small par
| ticles of shot entered the back and
I
Two entered the right leg, one of the
! particles going entirely through.
OPERATION PERFORMED.
Early in the evening an operation
was performed upon the sufferer, who
| previous to going on the operation
| table stated that his name was John
Blake. and residence Jersey City. Two
| small balls were removed from be-
tween the flesh and abdominal lining
1t was also discovered that the intes-
tines We're perforated in six distinct
| places by the passage of the balls
| through the body.
At a late hour last night Blake was
| recovering from the effects of the oper-
alton in fair shape, but it was the
! impression Of the physicians that his
case is extremely serious. However,
he looks and acts like a fellow OF
sound body and plenty of grit and
| may recover

EVIDENCE WAS INSUFFICIENT,
Alleged Dunmore Counterfeiter Was
Released.

Thomas Duffy, of Dunmore, who was
arrested Sunday night on the charge Of
attempting to pass counterfeit money,
was released yesterday after a hearing
before Burgess Dan Powell.
The fact that no spurious money was
found on his person, and that the evil
dence connecting him with the bad dol
lar which the children tried to spend in
Evans bakery was not of the kind upon
which Federal court juries are wont to
convict, induced the magistrate to let
him go.
At the most. it was a case Of a
thirsty vagrant trying to get a few
drinks on a single bad coin which
chance threw into his way.

urged the members to give it their
most earnest consideration.
SECRETARY ATHERTON SPEAKS.
Secretary Atherton followed with a
strong speech along the same lines
Scranton, he said, must secure indus
tries if it would prosper. Three or four
years ago the board of trade was ad-
Vised to interest itself in tin plate
manufacturing. The matter was can
vassed and then dropped. Today there
are tin plate industries all over the
country, and they are earning from
thirty TO forty per cent. profit Scran-
ton is now offered a number of GOOD
investments in the shape of manufaC-
turing enterprises. Two very desirable
ones are within our grasp, but we can
not secure them because of the want
OF capital.
We have reached point where we
must have manufacturing industries TO
supplant the coal industry, which, as
must be conceded can not enlarge.
The war is over. Money is plenty.
Industries are being planted all over
the land, yet we are almost at a
standstil for the want of capital. Our
moneyed men who have their interests
mainly centered here should look into
this matter. 1t is directly to their
interest as well as TO the city's.
The report was received and placed
on file without further comment, but
ii was evident that the communication
and the secretary's remarks made an
impression on those who heard them.
