REFUSED MONEY, HE
ASSAULTED WOMAN

A desperate fight between a woman in
mate of Mahogany hall, Gertie Raymond,
and John Bolter, a character we'll known
to the police, resulted in an exciting
chase and final escape of the alleged as
sailant of the woman shortly before mid
night last night.
John Bolter was released from the chain
gang several days ago. He had been
serving a term for disturbing the peace.
Early last night he entered the place on
New High street known as Mahogany
hall, and is said to have made an effort
to force the Raymond woman to give him
money. This she refused to do, and he
left the place vowing vengeance.
Several hours later Bolter returned to
the place. He is said to have been
armed with large knife. He went di-
rect to the room occupied by the Ray
mond woman.
Upon entering the place Boltor is al
legged to have drawn the knife from his
belt and announced his intention of slay-
ing the woman.
With a Shrek Miss Raymond fled from
the room and through the building, with
Bolter in close pursuit. Other inmates of
the place tried to head the infuriated man
off, but were unsuccessful and, slashing
right and left, he continued the chase.
Some person, more sane than the rest,
telephoned the station that a riot was in
progress at the place, and Wagonman
Sam Mckenzie, with several other Off
GERS, hurried to the scene.
When they arrived there Bolter was
still in the building and had forced Miss
Raymond into a corner.
Upon hearing the sound of the wagon
gong Bolter dropped the knife and fled
Patrolman Mckenzie started in pursuit
and for several blocks kept close on the
mans trail. Bolter at last succeeded in
vaulting high board fence and escaped.
Word was sent to the patrolmen
throughout the city to watch out for him.
but so far he has eluded arrest.
Bolter is known to the police as a des-
perate character and has served several
terms on different charges in the local
iail

PASS PETITIONS
AT CEMETER
MOVEMENT TO CURTAIL BURIALS
INSIDE CITY GROWS
Compromise Plan Is to Stop Sales Of
Interment Plots Within Munich
pal Boundaries to Reduce
Funerals

Word reached the city hall yesterday
that petitions were circulated at the cem-
eteries Sunday among funeral parties in
connection with the proposed movement
to stop further burials within the city
limits after given time, to be fixed by
the city council.
A compromise measure Is now sug-
gested which will prevent any more sales
of burial lots rather than go so far as
to stop further burials. Many persons
who bought lots in city cemeteries did
so with the expectation that eventually
all of family or kindred would rest in a
common lot.
BY curtailing future sales of lots those
who prefer a less drastic measure say
there will be fewer funeral professions
inside of the limits and the same end:
will be subserved by the latest sugges
tion.
Those favoring drastic measures say Il
will cause more cremations, solution
which many think is the best one from 6
hygienic standpoint.

POLICE ARE INSIsTENT WITH

Overcrowded Quarters ReneWs Agita-
tion to Provide Temporary Prison
on Central Avenue or on
Bishop Street Hill

Because of the overcrowded Jail anoth-
er attempt wes made yesterday by Chief
Kern to induce the city lawmakers to
take some steps to get a new jail OF
stockade erected at once, that the pres
sure maybe relieved
Messrs. Pease and Wren thought the
plan of building at least temporary jail
on the $45,000 lot offered the city not far
from FIRST and Spring street, on Jackson
street and Central avenue, should be con-
sidered. No payments or interest are
asked for year.
Councilman Dromgold preferred that a
stockade be erected on the city's land
beyond Calvary cemetery, on Bishop
street.
Here a structure could be built for the
chain gang for a few thousands of dol
lars, most of the work being done by the
prisoners themselves the First ward
councilman argued.
The question was finally referred to the
building committee of the council.

Old Legend Cause Of Land Boom.
indian CAjsi Said Immense Wealth Was Hid
dsa sstwssn susarloai and Nssce-
peck Mountains.

Real estate about the village of
Conyngham has gone up peg or
two on account of the reviving of
an old Indian legend. 1t has been
handed down for many generations
that an Indian warrior once boas.ed
that if the white man only knew
what a store of wealth is hidden be-
tween the Sugarloaf and Nescopeck
mountains, he would refuse to sell
the lands.
Timber has been cleared away,
farms cultivated and much pros
pecting done but no person has yet
found the hidden wealth. What it
can be no person appears to be able
to guess. AT Black Creek, the
McNeal farms were original Indian
reservations. Indian relics are
found there to this day, but moth
ing has presented itself to bear out
the truth of the statement attribut-
ed to the Indians.
In the vicinity of Black Creek are
fine wooded lands, plenty of water
and in many instances along the
creek cliffs of great height present
picturesque sights, with their sides
of rock running almost perpendic-
ular.
The latest revival of the story of
the hidden wealth has caused every
farmer in the valley to sit up and
take notice.

Black Hand Active in Pennsylvania
State Police Say They Have Headquarters il
New York-Leaders Are Americans.

The State police authorities are
in possession of information that
the Black Hand operations through
out the anthracite coal region Of
Pennsylvania are directed from CEN
trail headquarters in New York and
that the agents actively engaged in
the work of intimidation are not all
foreigners, but Americans.
For several months the State po-
lice department has been directing
its attention largely to these opera
tions, and now it is said to be in
possession of a mass of information
which will lead to the arrest and
conviction of the ringleaders.
More than fifty arrests have been
made by the State police in the last
six months in connection with Black
Hand operations. Nearly all these
persons have been fined or impris-
oned, though some are still await
ing trial. In majority Of cases
the defendants have readily obtain
ed lawyers far beyond their means
to retain. This is only one Of many
circumstances pointing to a central
organization.
In the bituminous coal region the
State police also have been quietly
busy with the Black Handlers. and
there are more than a score of for
eigners in the New Castle Jail as a
result of their efforts.
