The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1908-12-23

The dwelling house of Clark Du-
mond, at Starlight together with most
of its contents, was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday last, Dec. 10th. The prop
erty was insured for $l5O on the build
ing and $500 on the furniture in the

William Maddox, of Hawley, was
brought to Honesdale on Monday of last
week on a commitment to the county
Jail by Justice w. B. zimmerman, in
order that an examination may be made
as to his mental condition. He claims
to be the President-elect, although for
some time he has been employed as a
hostler at the Park View hotel. 1t will
probably be found necessary to send him
to an asylum. On the previous Satur-
day Esquire zimmerman sent up William
Moran, on a thirty-days commitment for
drunkenness and vagrancy.
Word has been received by the
police authorities of New York that the
man arrested in Los Angeles, CAL,
about week ago as "Kid' Regan, has
been identified as the man sought by
the local authorities for four years for
the murder of Roy Joyce in Toby's cafe
on Sixth avenue, in the Tenderloin. The
message came from Lieutenant j. j.
Fogarty, who had been sent to Los
Angeles to identify the prisoner. Regan
will be broughtto New York, but a con-
viction of murder is considered unlikely,
as the witnesses to the stabbing have
been lost sight of completely during the
past few years. Joyce was stabbed for
interfering in fight between a man and
a woman of the Tenderloin.
