THE FIsHERMEN's CASE.
Moran Gives Bail Before the Mayor.
May Have Swingle Arrested.

Frank Moran, who was in the mix
up with Deputy Constable Eugene
Swinge at Quinsigamond Lake on
Tuesday, went before Mayor O'Neill
yesterday and entered bail for his ap-
pearance in the Wayne county court at
Honesdale.
a likely sequel of the lively time be-
side the Wayne county lake. is the ar
rest of Swingle. at the instance of
Moran, on a charge of felonious
Woundng
Moran regards with mingled indigna-
ton and amusement the action of
Swngle in causing his arrest on the
charge of wounding him. Moran, in
explanation. declares that, If anybody,
Swngle is the one liable to arrest and
prosecution. The deputy constable,
the Carbondaie man says, began shoot
ing at tie crowd of fishermen from
this city before he came close to them
and before any attempt had been made
by him to arrest any of them. The
shooting, Moran persists, was unpro-
voked and unwarranted. The man who
had been arrested by Constable Robin
son made no resistance, and none of
the others had any chance to resist or
make any showing Of force to call for
the use of firearms. such as was made
to prosecute the Wounding charge,
Moran will possibly proceed against
Swingle.

beat his father so badly that he be-
came helpless and remained along the
roadside until Monday morning.
Osborne and Coggins both vehement
ly deny the charges. They claim that
tl:ey did not moest Morgan. and
charge Morean'S son, their accuser,
with the O:fcns". If there was any Of
frnse, MorEans son was present. they
say, ana If the old man was robbed,

FELL THREE STORIES.
Child of William Dougherty Of Dun
daft Street Tumbles from Window
and Fractures Thigh - Marrow
Escape from Death.

The two-year-old child of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Dougherty of upper Dun
daft street, tumbled out of a window
in the residence at noon yesterday
falling TO the basement about three
stories below. The little ones thigh
was badly fractured, it's body was
fearfully bruised and it's frail system
was most severely shocked.
The chld's escape from Il fracture
of the skull or even instant death is
not short of marvellous. The explnna-
ton for the absence of fatal injuries
is that the child in falling made one or
more revolutions during the descent.
The little one fell forward and should
have landed on its head if it had not
turned about, which brought 1t on it's
side, breaking the force of the fall
This accounts for the bad fracture Of
the thigh.
Dr. j. j. Thompson was called to
attend the little sufferer. His exam
ination revealed the injuries mention
ed The recovery Of the child is not
assured by any means. and there is
no foreteling the result for a day or
two. There is danger of brain fever
developing owing to the severe con-
cuss:on.
There was house cleaning In progress
at the Dougherty home when the dis
tressing accident took place. The
household goods were removed from
the rooms and the child strayed to the
opened window and had tumbed out
before Mrs. Dougherty was aware of
it's danger
