FEUD is STILL ON.
Roos Brothers Continue to Make
Charges Against One Another.

The feud between the Roos brothers,
Leon and Abe, seems to grow more
bitter with each succeeding day.
1t will be remembered that Leon,
who is IS years of age, was arrested
last week and held in bail on a charge
of attempting to blow up the wagon
of his brother, Abe, with dynamite,
The wagon in question is located at
Linden street and Penn avenue.
Leon is much wrought up over this
charge and the further fact that in
the Free Press of last Sunday was
a lD,'"r written by Abe, which set
forth number of unpleasant things
about Leon.
ITS not true, what my brother Abe
said about me in the Free Press"
warmly declared Leon yesterday to a
Tribune man. "Abe did not pay my
way to this country. 1t was my
brother Moses who did that. All that
Abe did for me was to have me work
for him and then not give me my pay.
| had to sue him for it. | never
thought of such a thing as blowing
up mis- wagon with dynamite or any
thing else It isn't his wagon, any
way. and never saw dynamite" Leon
is now working in a lunch wagon on
Spruce street and says he was en-
ployed there on the night it is al
legged he tried to blow up his brothers
place.
Abe Roos is apparently much con-
cerned over the ungrateful conduct
of his brother. He does not say much
about the dynamite, for he was not
in the wagon at the time of the ALLEGED
attempt. That is only an incident
with him, however, in the long listso
grievances he has against his young
brother upon whom, he says, he has
lavished his money. affection and at
tention, with results that are most dis
tressing to contemplate.

Horny NJ. Davis, of 622 West Lacka-
wanna avenue, employed as q lineman
by Electrician Frank T.. Wade fell
from a pole near the corner of Grove
street and Clay avenue, Dunmore, at
11.3O o'clock yesterday morning, and
sustained injuries from which he died
few minutes afterwards.
The young mans skull was frac-
tured by the fall, and it is genaraily
supposed that he was overcome by the
heat and lost his balance on the pole.
Davis was an experienced lneman
and began working for Wade on Mon
day afternoon. He was engaged in
stringing wires to attach to the in
diCator in the Johnson store company's
hose house. He had ascended the pole
about twenty feet from the ground,
when he was seen falling backwards
by a small boy, who called to the
other worl<men nearby. The unfortu-
nate fellow struck on his head, and
was rendered unconscious.
y messenger was sent for DIR. Brown,
of Dunmore, but before he arrived
Davis had expired. The body was
taken in charge by Undertaken Price,
upon the order of Deputy Coroner
Paine, who will conduct an inquest in
the case at the West Scranton police
station at o'clock this afternoon.
Deceased was 2S years of age and
was the son of Peter NJ. Davis who
for many years conducted the Golden
Eagle hotel in Center street. He was
also a brother-in-law Of Harry May,
one of the permanent men at the
Scranton Hook and Ladder house. The
funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.

Sues for Big Money.

Another chapter in the litigation
growing out of the squabble between
Elisha Coray and his former confiden-
tial agent, John S. Jenkins, is being
told before Referee Charles l.. Haw-
ley, in court room No. 2.
The suit is that of jenkins against
the Rushbrook Coal company. L. G..
Newcomb and H. M. Hannah appear
for the plaintiff, and S. B. Price and
Agib Ricketts, for the defendant.
Mr.. jenkins claims $4,000. His claim
is for salary and loaned money. While
president and manager of the Rush
brook company, Of which Mr.. Coray
was the principal owner, Mr. Jenkins
at various times, so he claims, ad-
Vanced money to meet pressing debts,
and on account of the company's en-
barrassment he was unable to collect
his whole salary. The balance owing
him, together with the money loaned
the company, amounts to $4,000, he
says. The dealings cover period of
ten years, beginning in 1889.
Albert Buckham, the company's book
keeper, was on the stand yesterday in
the plaintiffs interest. The case will
be continued today.

Forty-two acres Of coal land that was
bought for 81, not much more than two
decades ago, is the cause of a suit in
ejectment instituted yesterday by A.
ID. Dean, trustee for the heirs of l. S.
Dean, deceased, against b. NJ. Winton
and Walter w. Winton, trustees under
the last will and testament of Gather
Inc Winton, deceased, and the Green
wood Coal company.
The property, which is known as the
william Moore, sr.," tract, is located
in Lackawanna township, and is being
mined by the Greenwood Coal COM
pany. More than $4,000 in royalties
has already been paid the Wintons,
and the coal is far from being eX-
hausted.
The plaintiff alleges that the tract
was originally owned in equal shares
by Isaac Dean and w. w. Winton. In
1878 it was offered for sale for taxes.
The day prior to the time set for the
sale A. d. Dean saw w. w. WintOn
and, it is alleged, had an understands
ing with him that Winton was to pay
the taxes and prevent the sale, using
for the purpose money belonging to
Isaac Dean, which he then had in his
hands.
Instead of keeping this alleged agree
ment, Winton, so the plaintiff claims,
went to Wilkes-Barre on the day of
the sale, allowed the property to be
put up and bought it for 81 In the
name of c. Winton.
The Deans knew nothing of this, so
1t is claimed, until some years later,
when negotiations were under way to
lease the property to Frank d. Col
Inns. Upon discovering that c. Win
ton was the owner of the property the
Deans made efforts to bring about an
adjustment of their claim. Nothing
| came of it, and the matter has been
| allowed to remain dormant ever since
The Deans now propose to establish
their right to an undivided one-half
interest In the property.
Leaving out of consideration the sur
face of the land, the suit involves a
property value of at least $4,000. At
torney II. NJ. Hannah represents the
plaintiff.

WOLCOTT DEFEATS
 MYSTERIOUS BILLY
ltWaS a Game Battle From the
 Beginning.
SOME VICIOUS FIGHTING
Smith Did Not Have His Usual Snap and Vigor But Put Up All There Was Left in
 Him.

New York, May Aloe Walcott and r'Mysterious Billy" Smith fought twenty five rounds at cath weights before the Broadway Athletic club tonight, and Wal colt got the decision. This was their fourth meeting They fought two draws and Smith gained the decision on the third time they got together. Smith did not fight with his usual snap and vigor tonight, but he put up very game battle.
 In the first round they got together with out any delay, and Smith sent his left to the neck. He whipped over again to the eye and Walcott sent back to hard blows to the body Smith swung his left to the jaw and planted hard left over the col ored mans heart at close quarters Smith worked better and more quickly. and had all the better of the round. Smith sent his right over to the head in the early part of the second round. Walcott kept in close, sending his left twice very hard to the wind.
 Walcott fought splendidly in the fourth and out-pointed his man five to one. The next round was very lively with Walcott getting the best of the round. Smith fought yiciously in the sixth, but the bell found nYalcott in the lead by good margin.
 In the seventh round Smith swung his right on Walcotts jaw, forcing the negro to clinch. Walcott landed some awful left swings on Smiths head and jaw in the eighth. Walcott went right to his man in the following round and sent right and left to head. Billy responded on the stomach and swung his right hard on the jaw.
 Walcott forced the pace in the eighteenth and landed several stiff lefts on Billy's ribs. He bore in with a right to the body. but was sent back with right swing the jaw.
 A right uppercut on the chin from Smith wound up the nineteenth round. Waicott broke ground three times in the twentieth. Bot men lost their heads in the twenty second round. They slugged each other regardless of science ,and Smith had the call at the bell. Walcott fought fiercely in the next and cut Smiths with right hand smash. Smith was slow in the early part of this round. but he spurted towards the end of it and pummelled Wal colt with both hands on the head and body.
 In the twenty-fourth Walcott kept on the aggressive and had decided lead when the gong called the men to their corners.
 Both were well played out when they got together for the last round, but Wal colt still was the aggressor. Smith was always ready to take a chance and counter ed heavily but Walcott always had the upper hand.
