The authorities Of Luzerne and
Sullivan counties are looking lol
w. G. Funston. Il member OF the
state police, whose home is at La
porte Funston was a meWber OF
the state troop located near Swoy-
crsvillc Luzerne county, and while
there he fell in love with Miss
Grace Oslick, the eighteenyear-
old daughter of the village hotel
keeper. They were married last
Thursday. On Saturday Funston
S reported to have made an excuse
to go to Wilkes Barre, since which
time he has not been seen. Now
his bride claims to have discovered
letters in his trunk which go to
show that Funston has a wife Hv-
ing in Sullivan county and another
in Allegheny.
Prom the tenor Of a letter writ
ten to Funston from Attorney Shoe
maker, of Sullivan county, it was
evident that he was trying to get a
divorce from his Laporte wife. The
troopers home is in Laporte. The
Swoyersville wife had IL conversa-
ton by telephone with the Laporte
wife and the two will probably act
concertly in an effort to apprehend
Funston and prosecute him. Will
Transport Sun.
We do not know how much truth
there may be in this story. tits GER
tain Mr.. Funston has no wife in
Laporte or in Sullivan county. He
has commenced proceedings in this
county for a divorce, from which
it appears that he was married at
Shamokin in 1897. He alleges in
his petition that his wife deserted
him in 1898. She was in Pittsburg
when she filed her answer, which
was in 1904.
Funston was a soldier, and with
U. S. Army in Cuba during the
war with Spain, When his term
of service expired he re-enlisted
and served until his second term of
service expired in 1904, when he
was honorably discharged.
When the State Police force was
organized he was appointed mem
Der of that force and has served as
such up to this time. His friends
here are of the opinion that there
are two sides to the story of his
marriage at Swoyersville, and that
his side of the story has not yet
been heard.

New Capitol and everything is in
ship shape. The attaches were
somewhat surprised to find the tile
pavement he'd been extended from
the corridor into the space in front
of the grill work. The floor contains
a fine collection of the animals, birds,
insects and reptiles of Pennsylvania
in tile including snakes, grasshop-
pers, weasels, deer, cats, robbins and
the like. 1t has been oiled and the
designs are perfectly discernible.
over 5000 men are now employed
at the American ear aud Foundry

of the officials states that there is a
shortage in certain departments and
200 or 800 more men can be used to

Work on tunnel to cost 500, 900
and which is to run under Pittston,
will be commenced by the Pennsyl-

The tunnel is to drain several of the
mines of the company in Piston and
vicinity, and despite its cost it is eX-
pected to save money in the end, as
it will do away with several pump
ing stations, the cost of operating
them and the employment of Il large
number of men.
The tunnel will be six by eight feet
and 400 feet long, and will take at
least year to drive. With the eX-
ception of 1300.feet of quicksand, il
will go through the solid rock.

suit of knife wound received last
evening. Stephen Hernandez, who
is wanted for doing the job. hiked
out before the officers could lay

some trivial matter. Hernandez
drew his knife and gave Pedro a
terrible slash across the lower part
of the back. penetrating to the or

getting along very nicely thi:
morning.
Hernandez made for the railroad

that he caught a passing freight

have been notified and he will like

The lessees, who leased lands in

many of the lessees, he says, are
sore. They figured upon being able
to homestead their leases as soon
as the land was opened to home
steaders but the Indians are select
ing those cultivated leases for their
allotments and of this shuts the
lessees out of courss homesteading
that land.
These leases, by the way, present
a problem that the department will
have to settle. While it is true
that only small per cent of the
land has been leased, and the Ind
ians are selecting a great many OF
their allotments from among this
leased land. some of it will be sold
for homestead purposes. Under
the terms of the lease the lesse has
the exclusive use Of the land foi

law, the fellow who buys it must
make settlement thereon within six
months, and must cultivase and re

years, before he can prove up.

This country is experiencing the
most severe drouth of years. The
ground is becoming very dry and

while the water level in the wells has
sunk to such an extent as to MATERIAL!

also lessen the flow of water.
