to the splendid work that Henry
Doudican of this city is doing for the
Bloomsbury team since he rejoinedi
a short time ago:
"Doudican, who plays centerfeld
for Bloomsbury, has proven one of
the leagues sensations since rejoin-
ing the team. He essayed to cover
third base for Bloomsbury earlier in
the season, but couldn't get going
right and was let go. When Black
was called in by Harrisburg Manager
Shameless recalled him in cover
third. He played the position well
for a few games and when Evans
was purchased from Shickshinny he
was moved to the outfield, where he
has been playing brilliant ball and
has been hitting at .391 clip"

OVER THE MOOS|CS
CARBONDALE MEN WHO CAME
TO HONESDALE FOR GOOD
TIME LECTURED BY MAYOR
AND SENT HOME, WITH DIREC-
TIONS TO KEEP AWAY FROM
TOWN IN FUTURE,

Matt Beebe and John Walsh, two
men from Carbondale who wanted a
little September outing, came to
Honesdale Wednesday and had al
most too good time. They drank
beyond capacity and about 3 in the
afternoon we're a nuisance on Main
street. Walsh went to sleep on the
station grounds and his companion
strolled up and down Main street
until Policeman Canivan came along
in plain clothes and got the two of
them.
At 8 o'clock the men from Carbon
dale had short but improving in
terview with Mayor John Kuhbach.
Beebe described himself as a d. &
H. brakeman, not working just now
but willing to work when the job
comes. Policeman Canivan charged
him with being drunk and disorder
ly.
"Who do you know in Carbon
dale?" asked the Mayor. Beebe
named some business men.
do you know A. L. Sahm, the
mayor, and will he vouch for you?"
asked the mayor. Beebe said the
Carbondale mayor knows him well.
Walsh said he was a Consolidated
Telephone lineman. He came to
Honesdale with the other man, he
said, and got tired and went to sleep
on the street. Both claimed they
never had been arrested before, and
a Carbondale man connected with a
Honesdale hotel came in just then
to say he knew both the prisoners
and considered them good men.
1--WE don't countenance such cap
ers as this in our town." said Mayor
Kuhbach. but l will put you in the
charge of the chief of police until
morning and he will lock you up and
send you home on the 6.55 in the
morning. Keep away from Homes
dale and this affair will be ended"

Honor for the leniency. They slept
in cells and were put on the 6.55

DEATH OF MRS. DECKER.
Longtime Resident and Daughter of
Pioneer Has Answered Final Call.

Mrs. Vestal NJ. Decker died at her
home on Court street at 100 this
morning. She had been failing in
, health several years, and the past
fortnight had been seriously sick.
Her niece, Mrs. A. NJ Reynolds of
Herrick Center, came to the Decker
home two weeks or more ago and has
worked indefatigably to make her
aunts last days on earth as COM
Portable as possible.
Mrs. Decker failed more rapidly
than before after the death of her
sister, Mrs. c. P. Knapp, who never
got over the accident she sustained
while on visit to Honesdale. Mrs.

two years ago and never recovered
from her injuries.
Mrs. Decker had nearly completed

iel and Ann Eliza (Jacks) Schoon-
over, Honesdale pioneers, she was
born in 1927 in the house on the
flats where Mrs. Robert Roe lives

in Honesdale, where she was one OF
the best known people of the older
generation. When her daughter, Ida
NJ, who died of consumption
in young womanhood, was a child,
Mrs. Decker spent several months
each year at Rutherford, N. j., for
the benefit of Ida's health, and part
of her married life was passed in
Peckville, where her husband died,
but she was away from the town of
her birth only a few years all told.
She loved Honesdale and was happier
here, she often said, than in any 9TH
er spot.
Mrs. Decker's husband was John
Decker of Lenoxville They were
married about so years ago. After
the death of her husband at Peck

day, probably at in the afternoon,
her pastor, Rev. w. H, Hitler, will

BURGLAR IN HOUSE SOME FAST HORSES
COMES NEAR GETTING SIZEABLE
ROLL OF BILLS FROM CLOTH
ING OF HARRY G. PENWAR-
DEN FRIGHTENED AWAY
WHEN YOUNG MANS BROTH
ER STIRS IN HIS SLEEP.

A bold burglar went into the
house of Councilman George w.
Penwarden on South Main street,
near the d. & H. roundhouse, be-
tween IL and IL o'clock Tuesday
night and if he had not been scared
away by Harry G and Willard Pen
warden, who were in the room the
burglar selected for his field of opera
tions, Harry Penwarden would prob
ably have been relieved of some
thing like SIS or $50 in bills that
was in the pocket of his trousers.
Harry G.. Penwarden recently
came to Honesdale from the west
to take foremanship in the Homes
dale shoeshop. He is stopping tenn
porarily with his father and he
rooms with his brother Willard.
Their room is at the top of the
stairs.
Tuesday night Willard went to
bed early. Harry went about IL
o'clock. Councilman Penwarden,
following his usual custom, went to
the barn the last thing before re-
back and front doors of the PEN
warden house were open.
Il wasn't asleep" said Harry
Penwarden to a newspaperman to-
day, when l suddenly became
aware of a small searchlight in the
room. My door was ajar. A short,
stocky man stood there with the
lamp. l saw him move toward the
chair over which I'd hung my trous-
ers and, although l knew there was
a roll of SIS or $50 in one pocket,
was held spellbound and couldn't
move.
Just as the light swung toward
the bed Willard stirred in his sleep,
though he didn't wake up, but the
man in the room evidently got an
idea we were both awake, for he
started off. l shook my brother and
told him there was burglar in the
room. He got up and commenced
suit of that fellow without stopping
to put on my clothes. | couldn't
make out which way he went" ,
The Penwarden house is close to
the tracks and the intruder could
have slipped away up or down the
track very handily.
1t is probable he waited until he
saw Councilman Penwarden go to
the barn and then, supposing all
hands were asleep in the house,
started to rob it.

boarding-place.
At the factory Herbst, it is claim
ed, shouted "Scab" and tried to fight
the non-union workman, when Mr..
Spencer interfered. At Farnham

to pick a row with the officer and
threatened to hit him. Then Mr..
Spencer locked Herbst up.

READY FOR ARMORY
CONTRACTOR WALTERS ON THE
GROUND AND WORK WILL
START JUST so SOON AS GOV
ERNOR'S NAME Is ON THE
CONTRACT-ROOF MAY BE UP
BEFORE JAN. I.

Work on the Honesdale armory
cannot be said to have actually start
ed, for the job of stalking out for a
building is not to be taken as the
first steps in construction, but the
armory building will be nicely un-
der way, it is expected, before the
finish of September. Herman Walt
ers of the Scranton contracting firm
of Walters & Beilman, the concern
that will put up the armory,
struck town Wednesday, signed his
name on the register at the Allen
house, and after a talk with John
d. Weston, who represents the
Wayne Citizens Armory board, pro-
ceeded to the lot on Park street
where, accompanied by one of his
men, he took the preliminary meas
urements and inspected the site.
Mr.. Walters expects to leave
Honesdale for Scranton at 4.30 this
afternoon. He must be in Wilkes
Barre Friday to look at some i'm
portant work his firm is doing in the
Luzerne capital Mr.. Beilman, he
said, might be in Honesdale Friday
MIR. Walters is not exactly a
stranger in Honesdale. A brick ma
son by trade, he helped put up the
silk mill, which was built in 1886.
Mr.. Beilman is one of the Hawley
Beilmans. He was born in Hawley,
knows quite few people there, and
is an occasional Hawley visitor.
Mayor John Kuhbach took the
Scranton contractor about town and
made him acquainted with good
many people. The Scranton man
went to the moving pictures with
him and sat in the Mayors box.
my first work." he said, will be
to look at stone and sand and report
to the architects what can do with
the material / find locally. Then l
can go ahead. If the winter hangs
off and get the building rooted in
side of three months, work inside
can go on all winter and / will be
done by July /, according to the
contract"
He said he had engaged no help
yet and he's did not say how many
men the job would take.
Mayor Kuhbach told Mr.. Walters
he could get plenty of teams in
Honesdale and he agreed to send to
Mr.. Walters a man who recently has
closed out his stable and has several
horses and wagons idle.
Mr.. Walters likes the lot where
the armory is to be built, but he
says he will, of course, proceed with
much more security after he finds
what kind of ground he is up against.
Several men living in the locality as
sured him that four and one-half
feet down he will come to a fine
streak of gravel. There is not be-
lieved to be any rock to speak of.
Mr.. Walters and his partner are
both expert and seasoned workmen
who have risen from the ranks and
are practical in all the building de-
tails. Mr. Walters, who fayorably
impressed all the Honesdale men he
met, is not a great talker, but he is
here to build an armory for Co. e
and not to shoot off hot air, make
stump speeches for politicians, or
peddle the gossip of the community.
He says his firm is going to put up
a building Honesdale and the entire
state, for that matter, can be per-
manently proud of. AS soon as Gov.
Stuart affixes his signature to the
contract the work will start.
