tion. Thus the matter stands, Mr.. Wilbur
+. Wakemam, against whom there are
charges is still the Appraiser Of Neac Y ork
and Mr.. Whitehed is now believed to be in

they please. digging up the grass and

sponsible for what has been done, but if
they VIII wake up and set the city at
torney to work they can call a halt on
further encroachments.

The good people of Waymart seemed

way of the short crcuit--the heroic
village policeman, whose name makes
trespassing fishermen from over the
Aloosics shiver. is going to resign his
office of constable of the borough of
Waynlart and chief of detectives of
Wayne county.
Lafe is going to step down and out.
No more will the law-evading fisher
men from Scranton and such places
1remble as they steal surreptitiously or
otherwise, to Lake Lodore and defy
Lafayette and incidentally tempt fate
by decoyinG the forbidden pickerel and
catfish from the lakes depths. Lafe. if
he has not already drawn up his reSig-
nation, will do so in Il few days. He so
informed The Tribune man at Homes

his plans for the future.
