by Magistrate Marsh. He was charged
with shooting George Diak, also Of
Kreischerville, in the head. Both
the fellows, who are Hungarians. are

work they were seen to get in the
way Of one another more than ever
before. 1t is said they began to
quarrel and Horabot drew a pistol
from his pocket and taking aim, shot
at Diak, the ball hitting him in the
head. A doctor was called and after
carefully examining Diak he said the
bullet had only made slight wound,
but he ordered the man taken home,
where he will be kept for few days.
A telephone message to the Totten-
Vile police station soon brought
Policeman Boehn to the scene. He
placed Horabot under arrest and
brought him to the Tottenville police
station where he was locked up until
this morning when he was taken to

MUCH SYMPATHY.

The greatest sympathy is felt for
Miss Stella Havens and family. DIR.
Henry, of Perth Amboy, was sent for
Wednesday and found that her foot
was not doing as we'll as formerly.
He called again yesterday and said
she would have to return to the hospi-

operated on again as the other bone
that he had hoped he might be able
to save, had begun to decay and would
have to be removed.
Miss Havens, who has been SO brave
and kept up so we'll, got very nervous
and feels very badly about having to
undergo another operation. Mrs.
Havens is almost sick with anxiety
and can hardly bear MP under the dis
appointment, although she has not
been very sanguine from the first,
knowing that this was liable to happen
as DR.. Henry has been very candid
about it. Miss Havens will return to
the hospital Sunday afternoon and the
operation will be on Monday after
