The Office of county commissioner
is the most important offices in this
county as It has to do with the expen,
diture of large sum of the peoples
money and also the general welfare
and standing Of the county. On the
county court depends the financial az
fairs of the county, the condition OF
the roads and the general police affairs
of the county.
In an office that SO directly inter
ests the people they have right to
know what a candidate for county
commissioner stands for. He ought to
come out and state his position fairly
and put himself squarely before the
people.
Mr.. Candidates, let us hear from
you as to where you stand on the is,

Big Sensation

SUBSCRIBING WITNESSES ADMIT
THAT ALLEGED WILL WAS A
FORGERY.
(By United Press.)


SCRANTON, Pa. March 27.-Albert
H. Bahman and C. F. Reidel, subscrib.
ing as Witnesses to the alleged will
Of James Crawford, the millionaire
coal operator, who died about three
months ago, confessed to-day that the
will was forgery. The will in ques-
ton bequeathed the bulk of the tesla
tors estate to George B. schooley, Mrs.
Crawford's cousin.
A will dated September IS, 1895, was
probated and the widow, who was ap.
pointed executrix. was left most of
the estate. schooley appealed from
the will as probated and submitted an
other will purported to have been
made in Philadelphia in January, 1905.
Following schooley's effort to get
some property in this way, he was
arrested, as we're Bahman and Reidel
at the instance of James Shepherd, a
stepson of Mr.. Crawford.
Schooley was charged with forgery
and the other two with perjury. All
were released on bail. When the will
case came up in court the Jury quick
ly rendered a verdict that the School
ey will was forgery and at this hear
ing Bahman and ReIdel testified they
had witnessed Crawford make the will.
