Arrested BUT QUICKLY RELEASED

5000 Demanded Which Was Prompt
ly RefuseI-The Arrest Follows.
Looks Mo- Like Persecution, Not
Prosecute Are Rival Clothiers
the Cause-More Behind This Ar
rest Than Appears on the Surface.
Chief Robling and Detective Moir
called on the manager of the great
sale which is goirg on at 42S LaciSa-
wanna avenue with a warrant for his
arrest in refusing to pay 5000 as a Ii
Cense which was recently passed in
council for a transient dealer. This the
manager refused to pay, as he is not q
transient, but permanent merchant.
The manager furnished bail and the
case will go for the court to decide,
but why was this arrest made? These
people are doing a land office business,
being crowded daily, while their would
be competitors are laying idle and are
looking on. Rival clothiers, 1t is un-
derstood, are at the back of It. OF
course we don't blame them, if they
would only meet competition in a busi-
ncss-lilIc manner, but they cannot
dgive this concern out of town. The
manager is now more determined than
ever 10 sell the stock and these prices
viii do 1t. 1t does not take an X-rays
to see why such action was taken
against them, as they are selling goods
for less than rival dealers can buy
for. Look every item over and come
to this great money saving sale.

to Be a Myth.
to The Scranton Tribune.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Nov. IA swindler,
who represents himself as being con-
nected with the Universal Mercantile
and Collective Association, of Mon
trcal Canada" has been victimizing
parties throughout this section. His
plan is to secure a correspondent in
each county, a membership fec of from
$25 upwards being eXacted. He is we'll
equipped with documents, and is pre-
possessing in appearance, with a glib
tongue.
In some places the agent he appoint
ed refused to pay but S. of his assess
ment, proposing a deduction Of the
remaining 500 from the first money
collected. Not hearing from their en-
ployer, after a lapse of some time, q
Kirkwood agent employed a gentleman
who was to visit Montreal, to inVesti-
gate the matter.
Upon inquiry at the advertised head
quarters in the city, it was escertained
that the association was a myth, and
that many had been vlctimized.
