Thought He Was Dead.

From the Wilkesbarrc Record.
Thomas Casper, whose disappearance
from Georgetown several years ago led
to II report that he had been murdered
and his body placed in hiding, returned
unexpectedly to that place last night.
When Casper disappeared it was gener-
ally believed that the Peter Wassill gang
had killed him and then to cover up the
tracks, had thrown his body in a cave or
buried It in the Empire mine. A diligent
hunt was kept up for him for some time,
but it not being possible to find any clue
of him the search was finally abandoned.
Last night Casper startled his old
neighbors in Georgetown by appearing
in their midst. The residents at first
looked upon him as man who had re-
turned from the grave and could hardly
believe their eyes. He could not under
stand why his appearance caused such
a commotion and asked for an eXplana-
tion. The alarm his disappearance
caused was explained to him and it
proved an interesting tale to him.
Since his sudden departure from town
Casper has made his home in New York

SHOT HIS WIFE,
THEN HIMSELF
Contractor Commits Murder
and Tries SUICIDE.
Jacob Cerhardt, a Shamokin
Builder Who Is Known
in Freeland. Is Charged
With Murder.

Jacob Gerhardt, a Shamokin builder
and contractor who is known to many
Freeland people, shot and instantly
killed his wife yesterday and then sent
bullet into his own head, inlicting a
flesh wound. Gerhardt was accused of
murder by the coroner and afterward
committed to Jail.
The murder is alleged to be the result
of family quarrel about money mat
ters. Gerhardt, who is 3s years OF age,
returned from West Virginia several
weeks ago, after finishing a contract
and wanted his son, George, to accom-
pany him to Philadelphia and assist in
erecting houses there. The son deter
mined to remain at home and assist his
mother, and, it is said, his father be-
came angry.
Gerhardt attacked his wife while she
was preparing breakfast and shot her
twice. George Gerhardt ran to his
mothers assistance and threatened to
kill his father, but neighbors, attracted
to the scene by the shooting, disarmed
him.
A crowd of angry people collected and
threatened to lynch Gerhardt, who was
later safely taken by the police to prison
He has several thousand dollars in bank
and was a sober and industrious man
Some time ago Gerhardt was stricken
with typhoid malaria, and friends think
his mind was temporarily deranged at
the time OF the shooting.
On the other hand, the police believe
the crime was premeditated from the
fact that in Gerhardt's trunk were found
four envelopes containing money. The
amounts covered $40 for clothing for the
children, $50 for suits for Gerhardt and
his wife, $40 for the cemetery, $40 for
two graves and $40 for the undertaken

COMMITS SUICIDE.

In This World.
j. I. Kroner, proprietor of grocery
store on South Centre street, committed
suicide on Monday. The body was
found by members of his family in his
bed at 6 O'Clock that evening. AT his
side was a 3s-calibre revolver, with one
chamber empty. He shot himself in the
head and the ball passed through,
dropping on the pillow few inches be-
yond. Death was undoubtedly instan
taneous.
On Monday he was about town as
usual, and several people who trans
acted business with him that day found
him in a very pleasant mood.
Shortly after dinner he went to bed,
and the family thought he was sleeping.
At o'clock some of the neighbors heard
what they thought was a shot from a
revolver, but no complete investigation
was made and the body was not found
until one of his sons went to the room
to call his father to supper.
The deceased was resident of town
for about one year. He purchased the
grocery store OF George j. Shambora,
but was never successful merchant.
Although he stood high in Slavonian
circles, he was unable to build up a
trade sufficiently large to make money
and his failure had tendency to affect
him greatly OF late.
His business troubles were supple
mented with domestic difficulties, and
both are explained at length in letter
written just before he died to Mike
Welsko, president OF society to which
he belonged.
In this letter Kroner told OF his in
tention to take his life. He stated that
he regretted the necessity of committing
the act, but said that sit must be done
The letter gave instructions regarding
the funeral and the death benefits which
are now due from societies of which he
was a member,
Kroner was aged "a years and is sur
viyed by wife and four children.
Deputy Coroner Bowman arrived here
on Monday evening and after ascertain
ing the facts in the case decided that an
inquest was not necessary.

LITTLE GIRLS PLUCK
HEROIsM OF EIGHT-YEAR-OLD
MAUD PETERSON SAVES
THREE LIVES
PUT OUT A FIRE UNAssIsTED
Left Alone in House With Three
Other Children, She Carries
Pile of Burning Clothes

Maud Peterson, an eight-year-old girl.
proved herself a heroine shortly after
o'clock last night by displaying rare pres
ence of mind in saving the home OF
Charles Hanley, 427 st. Anthony avenue,
from destruction by fire, and the proba-
BILE cremation of three other small chill
dren who were in the house with her
at the time. The little Peterson girl is
a sister of Mrs Hanley, and yesterday
afternoon the latter went down town on
business and left little Maud and her
own three small children at home. She
was detained longer than she expected,
and about 6:15 Maud lighted a lamp that
was standing on the table. A line full
Of clothes which was drying was hang
ing directly over the lamp, and the child,
not thinking, left the lamp under it. In
few minutes the clothes caught fire,
and Maud seeing the danger with rare
GOODNESS and pluck pulled the burning
clothes from the line and ran as quickly
as possible out into the yard and throw
ing them into the snow, smothered the
flames. The child was not scorched In
the least, and this is considered remark
able. for she looked like burning torch
when she ran out with the clothes. The
fire department had been summoned by
phone, but when it arrived there was TO
work for it to do, as the little girl had
already finished the work of extinguish-
ing the blaze.

is WANTED IN IOWA
j. NJ. KANToR, INSURANCE AGENT,
ARRESTED ON STREET BY
DEPUTY SHERIFF
CHARGE Is ENCOURAGEMENT
Had Lived in St. Paul Less Than a
Month-Requisition Papers
Are on the
Way.

j. M. Kantor, who arrived in st. Paul
less than a month ago to engage in the
insurance business, was arrested yester-
day afternoon on the street and charged
with embezzement.
Nothing was limited as to any crooked
ness on Kantor's part until yesterday aft
ernoon, when, while walking on the
street, a deputy sheriff accosted the
young man, stepping up to him and
briefly telling him that he was wanted
at Sheriff Justus' office. There was no
resistance on the part OF the prisoner.
Kantor is a young man about thirty
five years Of age and came here from Des
Moines, Iowa. He had found employment
as soliciting agent for one of the insur-
ance companies which has IL branch Office
in the New York Life Insurance build
irg. Most of his time was spent upon
the street, and it was upon the street
that the enissary from the sheriff's Of
flee searched for him. While a resident
of Des Moines he was in the employ of
the Mutual Life Insurance company, and
it is from this company that he is said
to have embezzled good sum of money.
In all, it is alleged, his peculations will
amount to nearly $400, and should the
requisition be granted he will be returned
to Des Moines. Gov. Shaw, of Iowa, has
forwarded requisition papers, which may
reach Gov. Van SAINT today. If such is
the case after a speedy hearing and a
brief stay in ST. Paul, Kantor may spend
a sorrowful Christmas between the capt.
tai Of Minnesota and his destination in
Iowa.
