TICKETS WERE STOLEN.
Thieves Entered the knights of Co.
lumbus Club House Yesterday
Morning and Took Six Hun
dred Excursion Tickets.

The club house of the Knights of
Columbus, on North Washington ave-
nue. was broken into early yesterday
morning and COO tickets for the eXcur-
sion to be run to Harvey's Lake today
by the knights We're taken.
Entrance was effected through side
door in the basement, which was
forced open. 1t is believed that he
burglars were after money, as it was
announced in the newspapers on Tues
day that all members selling tickets
were to make returns on Tuesday
night. The burglars broke open the
desks of both the financial and record
ing secretaries. and finding no money,
took the tickets.
The theft was discovered yesterday
morning by several members of the
excursion committee, who believed at
first that the excursion arrangements
would be thrown INTO chaos by he
theft.
1t was learned later that all the
tickets were numbered and that a rec
ord has been kept of the numbers Of
those issued to the members for sale.
The last ticket given out 10 be sold
was No. 1l37, and the stolen tickets
have numbers above this. This fact
will enable the knights to distinguish n
them if presented today.

RICHARD WALSH KILLED.
Found Dead on the Lackawanna
Road Near Moscnw.

The remains of Richard Walsh, Of
Dunmore, were found lying on
the I.aCkawanna railroad tracks
near the Moscow station early
yesterday morning, but Just how
he met death will probably never
be known.
Both his less and one arm were sew
cred from the body and the trunk was
friGhtfully maugled making identifica-
tion difficult. Coroner Roberts was
notified. and went to Moscow and
viewed the remains. He decided that
an inquest was unnecessary, and
granted permit for burial
The remains were taken to the ur-
dertaking establishment of G.. r,
Brown at Moscow, whore the dead
mans clothes were searched in the
hope of discovering something that
would lead to his identity. Nothing.
however, was found that would give
the slightest clue
The body was identified late last
night as being that Of Richard Welsh.
aged % years, son of MIR. and Mrs.
Patrick Welsh, Of Sport Hill, Dun

returned from the Philippines, where
he served for some time as soldier.

There were no changes made in the
positions of the leaders in The Tribune's
Educational Contest yesterday. al
creased their standing.
Miss Griffin, for example, drew close
to Meyer Lewis, and this morning i
nearer to him than any other contest
ant has been for the past two months.
Miss Meredith drew slightly ahead of
Ray buckingham, although the latter
is making a game fight for his old
position. 4 difference of only thirteen
points Is between these two Competi-
tors, while more than a hundred sepa-
rate Mr.. Miles and Miss Meredith from
fifth place.
AS an instance of the Closeness of the
race may be noticed the fact that
there are two contestants lowering
around first place, three around third,
two around sixth and three around
eighth.
Even a few points makes material
changes each day and the standing at
the finish it is impossible to estimate
or even conjecture. But three days re-
main, and in these three days great
possibilities are within the grasp of
all the contestants. But two more an
nounCements of the standing will be
made, and after that will come the
final, irrevoCable result In what or
der will these names appear on Mon
day morning, September .? who can
