HOW MANY TIMESP

How many times when out of town
for the summer have you groaned in
spirit because the Philadelphia news
papers or the New York newspapers
or the newspapers of the city nearest I
you, wherever it was, didn't tell you
the things you wanted to know about
Scranton? How many times have you
seen items of news about Scranton in
other newspapers which were incom-
plete and were an irritation and an ex-
asperation to the soul? How many
times have YOU or some member of
your family said; II wish to goodness
there was something to read in this

tn the Editor Of The Tribune:
sir-Very few people, either IN Eng

nrahend the true inwardness' of the
so-calIed Alaska Boundary Dispute.
THAT is unfortunate, for it contains the
germ of a grave national danger. The
average newspaper reader supposes 1t to
he a dispute over a few acres or square
miles of wild land, perhaps frozen on
either side of an imaginary line. But
il is not a boundary dispute of that sort.

JURIES DEBATING CASES AGAINST FATHER
AND SON OUT ALL NIGHT AND DISAGREED

All day the jury boxes hummed with
the muffled discussions, but late yester-
day afternoon 1t was apparent that they
wer ehopelessiy hung.
Judge w. II. Thomas was sent for and
by consent of the special solicitor and
the attorneys for the defense, he agreed
to enter mistrials.
Jury No. was called out first. It's
foreman stated that the jurors would
never reach a verdict and a mistrial was
entered. A more bedraggled set of men
was never seen. Most of them, unaccus-
toned to sleeping In stuffy room with
eleven other unfortunates. had passed
sleepless nights. Their hair was matted
over their foreheads. The thirty-one
hours of inactivity showed in their faces.
Each one heaved Sigh OF relief as he
was discharged and paid of. This jury
came out of the room a few minutes be-
fore 6 O'Clock, having spent nearly thir-
ty-one hours there.
Jury No. was then called out. These
men had been in the room twenty-three
hours and were In nearly as bad shape
as those of No. l. Their foreman made
the same report as the foreman of No.
/, and they were discharged.
In the case of Elisha Hall. ST.. 1t is
said that the Jurors agreed to find the
defendant guilty of an assault and bat
terry, but hung on the fine being equally
divided between $500 and $500.
In the case of George Hall. Jr.. part
of the jury. 1t is understood. favored flnd-
ing the defendant guilty as charged and
another part wanted to reduce the sent
ence to an assault and battery.
The cases grew out of a family fight
in July between Elisha Hall. ST., his
sons, George Hail. Jr., and Elisha Hail.
Jr., and George Hall, Sr.. aided by his
sons Lonnie Hall and Sess Hall. These
men are respectable farmers of Mont
gomery County.
A dispute over some corn caused the
fight between the brothers and cousins.
The George Hall. Sr.. family came out
second best In the fight, Sess Hall hav-
ing been beat up considerably. The
Grand Jury found indictments against
all of the Halls of the Elisha Hall fam
lily.
The cases will be tried again on De-
cember Is.

TWO MISTRIALS ENTERED IN
THE CITY COURT.
Elisha Hall, >sr., and George Hall,
Jr., His Son, Were Tried for
Alleged Assault to MUIR
der Kinsmen.

Mistrials were ordered in the Montgom-
cry City Court in cases against Elisha
Hail. Sr., and George Hall. Jr., father
and son, charged with assault to murder
by their brother and uncle respectively.
For the first time in nearly twenty
years. two juries in the City Court of
Montgomery were hung over night in
these cases.
Capt w. B. Whiting. bailiff Of the
court, who has been working in the
Court House in various capacities for
nearly thirty years. said yesterday that
the hanging of these two juries was an
occurrence without a duplicate in his re-
collection. Mr.. whiting has probably
seen a hundred juries hung and mistrtals
entered, but he says that he has never
heard of two juries hung at the same
time and over cases against father ana
son. the prosecutor being the brother OF
one and the uncle of the other.
The case of Elisha Hall. Sr., went to
the Jury Friday morning at 1890 o'clock.
and the court Immediately took up the
case against George Hall. Jr. This case
was completed Friday night at o'clock.
BY this time the court was anxiously
awaiting the tap on the door of the jury
room, which contained Jury NO. l. But
the tap didn't sound.
The Jurors were taken to supper by dep
uptie5. and soon returned and again wres-
tied with the case.
Jury No. was having troubles of its
own by this time. The jurors were as
far from agreeing as Jury No. /, and
by 9 o'clock it was apparent that the
men would have to sit up all night.
Cots and blankets were secured and
the jurors slept a few hours. Early
yesterday morning they were awakened
and again they haggled over the cases.
