THEY WERE HUMAN BONES
But Fortunately Were Not Those of
Murderer's Victiln-Were the
Property of DR.. Gunster.

1t looked for a time on Saturda Y
evening as if the Scranton police were
going to have headlcss body mystery
on their hands that would rival any
thing ever solved by Conan Doyler
wonderful detective. Sherlock Holmes
The mystery was cleared up, however
in a very few minutes.
Chief of Police Robling was notified
about o'clock Saturday night by JOS
eph Gunster that two carpenters work
ing at the old Gunstcr homestead on
Penn avenue had reported to him thay
the withered up BODY of man was
lying in the cellar of the house.
The chief Immediately organized 4
searching party composed of Lieuten-
ant John Davis, Mr.. Gunstor and sev.
eral newspaper men. The party en-
tered the musty, dark cellar made
greusomc and uncanny by the singla
light of lantern and after searching
for about ten minutes came upon what
the carpenters had taken for "A body.
This was Il heap of human bones
connected by ligaments and lying be-
tween the remnants of an old trunk.
All of the bones of the human frame
were there but the skull, which was
missing.
One of the party Immediately jumped
at the conclusion that some one ha
been murdered, the head cut off and
the remains placed in a trunk. which
was hidden in the cellar. Chief Rob-
ling wouldn't listen to this, however,
and insisted that the bones were prob
ably left there by DR.. Gunster, who
formerly occupied the house.
This view proved 10 be correct, for
the doctor upon being asked about the
matter by telephone. said that he faint
ly remembered having left some bones
In the cellar when he moved away.

Double dealing, like so many
other expressions In the Anglo Saxon
language, has different meanings. The
text or heading does not refer to the
deceitful, hypocrltlcal specimens of
mankind who curry favor for their

dences. This time It's the double

double healing. One member of
