DUNMoRE.

At 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the last sad rites OF esteem and re-
spect were paid to the late Harry
Bovard. son of Superintendent and Mrs.
+. d. Bovard, of North Bakely street,
when friends and relatives gathered at
the home of the deceased to view the
remains and join the FUNERAL cortegr
to the Dunmore cemetery. At the hour
set for the services the numerous
friends of the young man had gath
cred and listened to words OF esteem
and comfort, as were delivered by the
Rev. f.. II. Gendall, of Peckville; the
Rev. A. ]. Van Cleft and Rev. w. f.
Gibbons. Following the remarks, the
funeral procession moved towards the
cemetery, in charge Of Undertaken
Jones. Many beautfuI floral tributes
evidenced the popularity of the young
man. Many out-of-town people were
present, especially from Jermyn, the
former home OF the deceased before
coming here.
A disgraceful scene, that clearly
demonstrates the fact that Dunmore
needs day police as we'll as night
police, occurred on East Drinker street,
near Apple, yesterday morning about
II o'clock, when two well-known char
ecters in police circles became engaged
| in a hand-to-hand encounter. The
! fighting was not OF the hurricane order,
but rather the contrary, as both were
| beastly drunk; but the language was
vile beyond description. A crowd quick
! ly gathered. as always is the case on
such occasions. Ladies were compelled
to listen to it. as they passed on the
| hail ~
was made to stop 1t. Fights in this
vicinity are numerous, and something
should be done to stop them.
4 team, wagon and some beer bar
rels caused a great deal of amusement
Saturday afternoon on Drinker street
A team belonging to a well-known firm
in the city became frightened and
dashed down the road at breakneck
speed. They had not gone far, how
ever before their flight was inter
cepted by telegraph pole and the con
tents of the beer wagon dumped over
in the gutter. The damage done was
slight and was soon repaired. The
driver escaped by mere luck. having
had hold of the reins when the vagor
struck the pole.
