Dealings with 1t.

Mention was made in yesterdays
Tribune Of the fact that the American
Art League, a concern having post
office boxes in New York and Chicago
but no other disCoveTa Dle headquar-
ters, and directed by ore u. j. Clark,
had placed i'm the hands of a firm Of
local attorneys for collection number
of accounts contracted in this city
by alleged fraudulent representatives.
The firm of local attorneys was
Messrs. Nosburg * Dawson, They
knew nothing of the leagues methods
and yesterday when informed of the
facts promptly returned the accounts,
refusing to handle them. There are
a number of men i'm Scranton whose
wives have been victim!zed by the
sleek woman canvasser employed by
Clark who are willing to pay Mr..
Clark's expenses from Chicago here
if he will agree to put himself within
reach Of our courts.
If any more of the American Art
Leagues abusive letters calculated to
intimidate women into paying a dis
honest claim are received in Scranton,
remedy should be sought through the
postOfliCe authorities.

should be taken for his comfort 1t is

ly shot himself through the heart some

family and of a somewhat eccentric
disposition Report has it that he was
enamored with young lady in that
vicinity, who did not reciprocate his
tender feelings. He had on several oc
casions threatened to take his life and
seems to have proceeded to his rash act
in the most deliberate manner. He
made mis- home with his brother, who
with his wife, was absent from home a6

he seems to have laid down upon the cot
and discharged the contents of an old
fashioned muzzle-loading rife into his
body. the ball piercing his heart The
gun was lying on the floor near the cot,
and everything about the room was in
perfect order. Richland Democrat.
