The Bicycle clubs league has at last
been organized for the coming year. AT
Il meeting Of three representatives each
from the Scranton Bicycle club, Elec-
tric City Wheeimen and Green Ridge
Wheelmen. held on Wednesday night
last, a schedule committee WAS ap-
pointed To arrange Il schedule of thirty
games.
The liist games are to be rolled on
the night of Tuesday, November /, and
play will be continued ON every Tues
day night thereafter. Each club will
be represented BY two teams, and some
especially good rolling is promised.
Another meeting will be held during
the coming week to approve of the
schedule and decide upon the prizes to
be offered. The Country club was to
have been represented in the league,
but the idea mas been given up because
sufficient enthusiasm could not be
aroused
Bowling circles are agog over the pro-
test made against the playing of Deit-

Backus team last Wednesday night. \
special meeting of the executive COM
mittec of the league is to be held to-
morrow afternoon 10 consider the mat
ter, but it is questionable whether any
thing can be done. There was no pro-
test entered against Deitrick until after
he had finished rolling, SO that the
games cannot be declared forfeited, and
1t is questionable whether any rule can
be adopted prohibiting the playing of
men from outside the city ON any Of
the teams

4 Brutal Assault.

On Monday morning Mr.. Ell Car
ter went out into his field where
Henry Gregory, one Of his hands, u
big burly negro, was plowing. Mr.
Garter is furnishing rations TO Henry
and he learned that the negro had
been taking them elsewhere than to
his home. He demonstrated in II
quiet manner with the negro, who
became enraged, and grasping a ham
NOR THAI he had for fixing his plow,
he struck ferociously at Mr.. Carter,
the hammer cut II long cash to the
bone in Mr.. Carter's right temple,
and another blow landed glancingly
on the left jaw bone, the blood gush-
ed from Mr., Carter's face. and hav-
ing nothing to defend himself from
the brute with, he ran to the house
for his gun. He got it and returned
but the negro had run off and was
out OF range when he returned. He
went to DR.. A. e. FAINT. who dressed
the wound. 1t was a murderous as.
sault without excuse, and it is almost
n miracle that Mr.. Garter was not
Killed. Mr.. Garter says he returned
with his gun fully intending to kill
the negro but as he was gone he will
latthe law take it's course, and it
should make an example Of this ne

Looks Like Forgery.

A motion for an Injunction was
argued before Judge d. A. Townsend
Monday. 1t seems that negro in
Santuc section. was sick. The negro
owned some land. Another negro
obtained his land papers and going
TO another town palmed himself off
as the owner Of the land and gave a
mortgage on il to man for advances.
When the mortgage became due the
rightful owner was thunderstruck by
being informed that his land had been
advertised. to be sold and the mort
gage was to be foreclosed. He had
never given a mortgage in his life,
and employed Messrs. DePass and
Scaife to represent him. They asked
an injunction to stay the sale. This
is the negro's side of it, we did not
hear the other side. The injunction
was granted.
