THE OFFICERS ARE HOME.
Did Not Bring Their Prisoners from
Montreal with Them.

Detective John Moir and Chief Of
Police Dierks, Of Dunmore, arrived In
this city esterday from Montreal, Can
ada, where they went in quest of An
tome Morel and Augusti Roberts. the
two men in police custody who are
wanted here for shooting two Dunmore
police officers last July.
The two local guardians of law and
order did not bring back with them
the two ferocious anarchists, as they
will have to be detained fifteen DAYS.
but in place of them they brought the
dangerous looking Smith & wesson six
shooter with which they shot officers
Patrick Kays and Henry Snyder. the
two officers. At the hearing in Mon
treal both admitted the shooting. In
cases of extradition of this nature 1t
is customary to hold the prisoners for
fifteen days while the necessary papers
are being made out for their removal
to this country. 1t Is the extradition
law and the Scranton men had to bow
to II and come home empty-handed
for the nonce.
In fifteen days Detective Moir, ac-
companied by some other officer, will
again visit the realms of her Brittanic
majesty and hope this time to return
with their prisoners.

RINSLAND ASKS DIVORCE.
Names E. E. Everhart as the Core
spondent and Also Makes Him
Defendant in Trespass Suit.

Proceedings in divorce were begun
Saturday afternoon by City Assessor
Philip Rinsland against his wife, May
Rinsland Edward l.. Evarhart being
named as Correspondent. An action
in trespass was also brought against
Everhart by Rirsland Tor alternating
the affections of Mrs Rinsland. Dam
ages in the sum of 100000 are asked.
The papers, which We're filed by Vos-
burg e. Dawson, Rinsland's attorneys,
make many severe accusations. They
state that Mrs. Rinsland hos been
guilty of improper relations with
Everhart at various times during the
past year, and that within the present
month she was in New York in his
company. Mrs. Rinslan6. when seen
by Tribune man yesterday, said:
IT have been misrepresented by the
Sunday papers. They nave interfe-ed
in our domestic affairs and are giving
a highly colored and sensational ac-
count of what is merely a slight do
mestic trouble. We have had a mis-
understanding, the result of which is
this very hasty action by Mr.. Rirsland.
l entertain hopes that in time every
thing will be cleared up. and we will
have been married eight years and
this is the first unhappiness that has
occurred
LAS for Mr. Everhart, he is an ac-
Quaintance of mine, but one with
whom l have only been brought in
contact few times and barely know.
AS for my being in New York with
Mr. Everhart it is perfectly ridiculous.
Mr. Rinsland's own sister was there
with me. ] can't tell You how this
thing worries me, and the pain that
this notoriety brings. The fact is that
somebody has been poisoning my hus-
bends mind against me and this action
Is the result
The parties in the case are all we'll
known locally, Mr.. Rinsland, who Is
q Linden street barber having been
elected assessor on the Republican
ticket one year ago.
He married his wife in 1892, she then
being Miss May Williams, daughter of
Edward Williams, Of South Main ave-
nue.. She was well known and liked
in West Scranton as an amia Bile, pretty
young girl
The married life Of the couple was
an exemplary one until a year ago,
when Mr.. Rinsland claims he discov-
cred the first indications Of strong
friendship between his wife and young
Everhart. He says he overlooked this
at first. but later cautioned her again
and again. He contends that she left
the city and was at New York and
Crystal Lake with Everhart, and at
last he could stand it 10 longer and
Saturday brought action.
From all evidences the trouble Is OF
recent growth. Mrs. Rinsland's aged
parents, when seen yesterday, said:
"They always got along in the very
best way. May had a good husband
and Phil. had a good wife. She always
spoke we'll of him and he of her. He
made the best of husbands and she
had never a wish that was not graft
fed"
A capias in the trespass case was
issued Saturday and placed in the
hands of the sheriff. 1t was served on
Everhart, who entered bail in the sum
of $1,000. He is a well known young
man about town and is the son of DR..
/. +. Everhart.

MAJOR E. d. FELLOWS.
Republican Candidate for the Board
of Six School Directors.

Major Eugene d. Fellows, one of the
Republican candidates for school direc-
tor. which office is to be voted for
throughout the city at the election to-
morrow. is peculiarly fitted for the
office by reason of his experience and
qualifications. For a number Of years
he was principal of one Of the West
Side public schools. While teaching, he
studied law and was admitted to the
Lackawanna county bar He also ac-
quired a knowledge of stenography and
is an expert shorthand writer. His
practical knowledge Of the public
school system and his intimate ac-
quaintance with school law. in addition
to general legal knowledge, are of
constant service to the board of con-
troll. His knowledge of shorthand en-
ables him to transact the business of
the board and of the various commit
tees, of which he also acts as secretary.
with rapidity and accuracy. His cour-
tesy renders him popular alike with
the teachers and the business men OF
the city, and his close attention to the
affairs of the district have secured him
the confidence of the board.
He was first elected secretary of the
board at Republican organization in
1898, since which time he has been an
