The Kings Message.
The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the

dulled by the following message from

was issued after midnight:

TRAVIS WAS NON-SUITED
Could Not Recover for a Colt Killed
by Bad Barbed Wire Fence.
Singer Jury Out.

A non-suit was granted yesterday
afternoon in the trespass case of Jesse
Travis against Mary f. Clark and
Adelbert Clark. They own adjoining
land at Benton, and in 1895 the Clarks
put up a barbed wire line fence, one
that Attorney Soper characterized dur
ing the trial of the case as fence that
bit, gnawed and killed Travis owned
a colt which got it's legs tangled UP in
the fence, was thrown and broke its
hip and had to be killed. A non-suit
was asked on the ground that Travis
consented to the construction of the
line fence and thereby assumed the
danger that went with it. For that
reason the non-suit was granted. At

plaintiff, and Attorneys w. w. Baylor
and c. Balentne for the, defendants.

MULLEN WAS MURDERED.
Proven Conclusively by Evidence
Disclosed by Yesterdays Investi-
gations-Kenley Arrested.

1t is now as good as certain that John
Mullen, of Pittston, the non-unon
miner, whose body was terribly man.
gled by a trolley car at Avoca, We'd
nesday night, was the victim of foul
play
Daniel Henley, of Hughestewn. Pitts
ton, another nom union man, who was
his companion that night, has been ar
rested.
Suspicion that it was a murder and
not a trolley accident, was aroused i'm
medately, by the statement of the
motOrman that he saw blood on the
body as his car was approaching it,
and the statement of the watchman at
the Heidelberg colliery that he heard
sounds of a scufIle near that point just
a few minutes before the car ran over
the body
Yesterday large stone stained with
blood was found near the scene, and
fifty yards away a razor with blood on
both sides of the blade was picked UP
from the grass. In Mullen's pocket was
found an empty razor case. One of two
men suspected of being the murderers
was seen yesterday having newly
made cash on his face. He has not yet
been found by the authorities.
1t is supposed Mullen was attacked
and defended himself with his razor,
and that being outnumbered he was
overpowered and his head crushed in
with stone.
Henley was arrested mainly because
of conflicting stories he has told. 1t is
thought if he did not commit the mur-
der himself, he knows who did. He and
Mullen were stoned by crowd at
Smthville and continued together until
near the point where the crime oc-
CURED. There, according to Kenley's
statement he left Mullen and went on.
This was only seven minutes before
the car ran over Mullen's body. A very
few minutes after this, Henley was
seen passing the Heidelberg colliery,
carrying a revolver.
Coroner Berge and County Detective
Jones are positive it was murder.

THEY MET ON SATURDAY..
BECAME ENGAGED TUESDAY
Mrs. A. j. Umer, of Easton Fell in Love with Fred Smith
the Handsome Waiter at the Scranton House-She
Gave Him IS Tip at the First Meal

Romance with a little dash of the
adventurous is attending the incidents
leading up to a wedding which two
strangers of last Saturday arranged
last Tuesday should take place next
Wednesday.
Among the entries made on the
Scranton house register last Saturday
was Mrs. Emma Phillips, Easton,
Pa" She would stay for several days,
she said, as she was here to transact
some business in connection with a
manufacturing industry in which she
was interested
She had the appearance of woman
of business. She has shown evidences
of being very business-like.
Fred Smith, of Petersburg, a good
looking young man, is a waiter at the
Scranton house, and Saturday evening
it fell to his lot to serve Mrs. Phillips
with supper. So pleased was Mrs. Phil
lips with Fred or his service that she
gave him S. tip and asked that he
serve her meals during her entire stay.
At breakfast, Mrs. Phillips suggested
that she would like tn take a Sunday
afternoon drive and wanted to know
If the waiter could accompany her. He
certainly could and did.
After driving him all about the
mountain boulevards with the finest
turnout she could engage, she took
him back to the hotel and once more
enjoyed a supper served at his hands.
That night, Mrs. Phillips confded to
the maid who Wag attending to her
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-10-03

and believed she would like to have
him for dear friend.
Maybe the maid was indiscreet
enough to repeat some of this to Fred,
or maybe it was that Fred was a good
guesser, but be that what it might,
Fred knocked off work Monday, took
Mrs Phillips out for a drive and Tues
day handed in his resignation as waiter
at the Scranton house to take effect
next Tuesday, with the explanation
that he and Mrs. Phillips were to be
married, and that he was to go to Eas-
ton with her to take charge of her
manufacturing interests.
Mrs. Phillips set all doubt at rest by
telling to Proprietor Koch that all that
Fred was saying was true, Further
more she told that she was travelling
in cog; that her real name was Mrs.
A. j. Ulmer; that she was widowed
two years ago; that her husband left
her in possession of a piano factory in
Easton and that she was not only we'll
to-do, but very wealthy.
The wedding 1t was arranged should
take place next Wednesday i'm Easton.
The bride-elect spent Wednesday and
part of yesterday as the guest of the
intended grooms Samily in Petersburg,
and this morning will leave for Easton.
Inquiry made by The Tribune, last
evening, at Easton brought the re-
sponse that there Is no Mrs. A. j.
Ulmer' in the city directory, and that
no woman Of that name is known there.
AS far as was known by The Tribune's
informant there is no woman of any
name in Easton who owns plano
factory. -..,...,

concerning him, and the exact amount
of his shortage will not be known until
