Twenty Held for Murder.

One OF the worst crimes ever COM
mitted In the upper end of this county
resulted yesterday In the arrest of
twenty-one men, charged with the mur
der Of Constanta Sobrilefski. The mur-
der followed dance near Larksville, on
Saturday night, aud the body OF the
murdered man was found yesterday
morning near the Delaware and Hudson
tracks. There were fifteen stab wounds
in the body, and nearly every bone had
been broken by kicks and blows from
bludgeons.
Sobrilefski was a wellknown Russian
miner. He worked throughout the
strike, and was at times so violent In his
denunciations OF the union that the
authorities repeatedly warned him not
to taunt the strikers and excite them to
violence.
Saturday night Sobrilefski attended
dance and became engaged In quarrel
with several union men. The proprie
tor of the place where the entertain
ment took place persuaded him to go
away, but shortly before midnight he
returned and renewed the quarrel.
He was forced to leave the place, and
was followed by number of men, all
miners or laborers working In or about
the mines at Plymouth and Larksvlle.

One Of the gang, named Powell Ladof-

Strike Echoes in Court.

An echo of the big strike was heard in
court on Saturday, when number of
men were arraigned charged with max
ing threats against non-union men.
Morgan Lewis, Of Wilkesbarre, was
charged by Joseph Lewis with threats.
Joseph worked as a fire boss during the
strike, and this was the cause of trouble
with Morgan, who was striking miner.
On election day, November 4, Joseph
went in to vote, and he said that Morgan
challenged his vote because he was a
non-union man.
Judge Wheaton sentenced the defend
ant. Morgan Lewis, to pay the costs and
give $500 security to keep the peace. A
number Of other defendants received
like sentences.

There is only one thing in Rub
Der Boot or Shoe that has any
wearing qualities, and that is Rub
Der. There is absolutely no wear
in any of the other ingredients.
There is only one way to reduce
the cost, and that is to take out
rubber and put in its place other
things in which there is no wearing
quality whatever.
Every time the quality of Rub
Der Boot or Shoe is reduced 10 per
cent, its durability is reduced over
20 per cent.

TO SIFT

TO SIFT
The wheat from the chaff, the
good from the bad, the truth from
the false? You read some mighty
nice stories in the papers nowadays
of big reductions, but when you
examine facts back of the words
you are more than likely to FIND
promises which the makers cannot
fulfill and would not if they could.
For our part we would rather
shut up our store and be idle than
give anybody the right to say of it:
"That store is not as careful of its
reputation as it used to be" Re-
putation is the bread and butter of
this business, and is worth more to
us than the few paltry dollars an
end of the seasons sale brings, if
conducted under false pretenses.
The middle of the winter finds
us with quite an assortment of sea-
sonable goods, including Rubber
Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps,
Gloves, Extra Heavy Underwear,
Heavy Hosiery, and other articles
designed for wear during this
weather. These we have reduced
in price-not to less than half their
cost-but to a figure which will
pleasingly surprise the buyer.
In Winter Neckwear, Collars,
Cuffs, Mems Dress and Working
Shoes, Women's and Childrens
Shoes, Gents Furnishings, etc,
our lines are very complete and
the stock is of that same high grade
which you always found in our
store.
We are pleased to quote you
prices and have you examine the
goods at any time. Do not forget
that child can buy here as cheap
ly and to as good advantage as the
adult.
