-Kreitner Brothers, who own an ex-
tensive tract of timber land IN Lebanon
and Mount Pleasant townships, shipped
1876 cords of hemlock bark to Buffalo, N.
Y, via the Del. & Hud., during the first

the largest and last shipment Of bark
that will ever be made from this section.

If you have an item of news or an
advertisement which you wish inserted
in newspaper don't wait until the last
moment just before the paper is ready
to go to press before getting your copy
TO the office. The earlier you get your
copy in, the greater it is appreciated by
the publisher. Just before going to press
the publisher is crowded with copy of
late happenings, and at such times he is
poring over it to see what can be left
out. At such times it does not make
the publisher very good natured to have
copy handed in which might have been
in the Office two or three days before.
Peter F. Regan, known in the ''Ten-
derloin," of New York by the name of
kid Regain" which was given him be-
fore the family left Honesdale, and who
gave his occupation as bartender, arriv-
ed in that city Saturday night from Los
Angeles, Cal, in charge of Lieutenants
Fogerty and Kear. He was locked up
at Police Headquarters. The charge
appearing against him in the Governors S
warrant and the requistion papers is
felonious assault. 1t is said, however,
that Regan is wanted to tell what he
knows of the killing of Roy Joyce, a
youth of nineteen, who was shot and
stabbed to death in Tobey's bar room at
Thirty-first street and Broadway on
April l3, 1905. Joyce was killed in a
free for all fight. Regan was there at
the time and disappeared from the city
after the killing. The police have been
searching for him ever since. He was
arrested in Los Angeles on some other
charge and held at the request of the
New York police until requsition papers
could be made out. Fogarty and Kear,
both of whom knew Regan by sight,
were sent to bring him back. When
taken before Lieutenant Funston at
headquarters Regan said he was glad to
get back to face whatever charge there
might be against him. -Four years of
being fugitive andnever knowing what
minute you may be grabbed, afraid all
the time that you will be taken, is
enough to discourage any man." he
said. The prisoner was brought all the
way from Los Angeles with handouts
on. He is brother of Police Lieuten-
ant Martin Regan, ,gof the city force, and
it was charged that he was under police
protection. He was never indicted on
the charge of killing Joyce, but on an
old felonious assault charge. The police
will now try to get sufficient evidence to
iasten on him an indictment in the
Joyce case.
