Mistake of Fish Dealer When He Got
Goods collect ON Delivery"
An amusing story is toll OF an en-
teTpris.ns, though verd:nt, young man
who lives in small town up the state.
HE wished to embark on the sea of
matrinony, but finding his income en-
tirely insufficient for the purpose, he
cast about 10 see if he could not find
some vocation winch would yield him
enough 10 support wife on. After
considerable reflection he decided that
since there was no fish dealer in the
village, il would be wise plan to en-
gage n that line of business.
He was totally ignorant of what the
demands OF the public required. and. as
many another young man had done
before him. consulted his fiancee on the
subject. She told her lover that once
when she was on visit to the city she
had eaten some haddock. and that it
was delicious. and advised him to lay
in stock OF tina; kind oil Ash.
The young man went TO the local eX-
press Office, and told the agent what he
wanted 10 do. The latter said that he
would order the fish from New York,
and that the young man could pay for
il whsn it was delivered The barrel
Of fish came in due time. and. of course,
it was marked &C. o. D." When the
goods were delivered TO the prospective
fish dealer he looked at the barrel for
a moment. and. turning TO the express
man. said in tone of great disgust,
Il ordered haddccil and they sent me
COD
The story was too good for the ex-
pressman 10 keep TO himself. and the
fish dealer. who made a success OF his
new business. is often, even TO this day,
greeted by the housewives on his
morning calls with the sly question,
Have you got any cod?" To this he
replies: Il pay for my FISH when or
der it now. so never get any cod" =

RETORE'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Particulars Still Meagre As to Killing Of Shep-

man.
At this writing the party of officers and
others who went out Tuesday evening
to investigate into the shooting Of the
sheepman, Marius Retore. by randall
news has been received as to the cause or
manner of the killing.
Retore was well known here and was
very popular among the French element
lie was exceptionally strong for a small
man and very active and full of good
nature and fun and very liberal with his
money, though temperate and gentleman
ly and his friends greatly deplore his sud
den and violent death. 1t cannot be known
just how long he lived after he was shot,
but as he was in the best Of health and
so strong he might have lived for an
suffered exruciating agony Those who
went after the body did not discover the
wound In his foot until they arrived at
Rebel Creek.
This affair is exciting a great deal of
interest and comment as it is felt general

of the county nave reached their climax
and unless some decisive action is taken

Someone has been responsible for some
very high handed and desperate actions
In that section within the past few
months. 1t Is reported hat in several in

II is said that several men rode up to the
camp of Joseph ACQUIRE and shot a burro
upon which he was placing a pack and
ran and hid for several hours up to his
waist in the water of a creek in the
thick willows. The men are said to have
shot over one hundred of ACQUIRES sheep
including all of those. with bells and
ACQUIRE was left afoot and was only able
to recover his saddle horse some time
later at a cost of $40.
1t can readily be seen that the situation
is badly strained and it is to be hoped

to prevent a recurrence of any of these
deplorable accidents. Retore's funeral took
place this afternoon from the Catholic
Church.

Big SOCIALIST VOTE.
Surprisingly Large Showing Made
in Up-the- Valley Dietricts-The
Count Up to Date.

With official count of the vote of
Tuesday tabulated only as far as the
seventh ward Scranton, which is two
thirds OF the way down the alphabet teal
list of districts and inclusive of about
one-half the vote, the Socialist candi-
date for governor, Slayton is credited
with 7O3 votes and the Socialist Labor
candidate, Adams with 254. Swallow,
the Prohibition candidate in these same
districts polls 53S votes.
With the old parties waging such a
vigorous campaign as that of Tuesday
the showing made by the Socialists is
truly remarkable and that of the
Socialist Labor party only II little less
so.
Yesterdays count disclosed no ma
terial discrepancies. Morris lost six
and gained three votes leaving him i3
behind Penman. Evans gained eight
on Williams and Connell gained II on
Howell
When the second district of the Third
ward of Scranton was reached Giles
Clark was brought forward by Attor-
neys r. II. Holgate and c. 2. O'NIalley,
attorneys for Mr.. Connell, to testify
that nine ballots which were marked
with Il cross in the circle at the head
of the Democratic column were count
ed for the whole Democratic ticket, all
though the names of Howell and Sando
did not appear in this column. Judge
NeWcomb passed the matter over. until
such time as it would be ascertained
whether or not nine votes would affect
the result
