ROAD WOULD
Be BURDENSOME

Two petitions relating to important
road improvements were presented to
court yesterday, one praying for the
widening of road in Valley township
and the other for review of road
in West Hemlock township.
The West Hemlock petition which
was signed by thirty-nine inhabitants
of that township represents as fol-
lows:
THAT a road as been lately laid out
for public use by order of the court
dated June 6, 1910, beginning at the
blacksmith shop of August Shultz in
said township on road leading from
Barbary Shultz to Jerseytown and ex-
tending by several courses and dist
ances thereof to point in the public
road where the same leads from James
Boone's, which said road, if confirmed
by the court, will be very injurious TO
your petitioners and burdensome TO
the inhabitants iof the township
through which the same will pass.
Your petitioners, therefore, showing
that they are persons interested, res
pectfully pray your honorable court to
appoint three persons properly qualiti-
ed to review the ground proposed for
said road and make report of their
proceedings at next term. (Signed) l..

UNIQUE FORM OF
JURY SERVICE

The duties Of the jurors inpaneled in
the case of Sophie G.. Eckman VS.. the
Lehigh & Wilkes Barre Coal company
are certainly unique Today they en-
ter upon an extended view, preceding
the formal opening of the trial, which
may occupy week and lead them
over several hundred miles.
The jury selected are:
Charles Kramer, George W. Kapp
Thomas Good, William Russell, Harry
f. Camp, ETC. Welliver, Alfred ID.
Smith, U. q. Gulick, Walter Vincent
John Cooper, Jacob Rhoades, John G.
Foust.
The jurors, who were selected Mon
day, were called before court yester-
day afternoon. The case was opened
by +. S. Gearhart. The object is to
recover damage for land permanently
injured by coal dirt brought down, it
is alleged, from the defendants coal
The farm damaged lies along the north
branch at Roaring creek and in most
part is composed of river bottom land.
The tract damaged is level and con-
tains 1872 acres Prior to 1902 it was
very fertile and yielded heavy crops.
In 1902 a heavy flood occurred, which
deposited enormous quantities of coal
dirt, culm and sulphur ON the 1917 acre
tract. During the year 1904 another
heavy flood occurred, which, it is al
legged, completed the ruin. Following
1902 corn could not be raised on the
tract. Any crop failed to yield more
than half, although every effort was
made to reclaim the land.
Judge Evans charged the jury, ex
planning what is expected of 1t be-
tween the present and the formal be-
ginning of the trial, on Monday, Oct
ober 3lst, Accompanied by the sheriff
and two sets of showers" the Jurors
this morning will leave South Dan
Vile on the 6:5S Pennsylvania train
for the farm of the plaintiff at Roar
ing Greek
Judge Evans explained that the de-
tendant contends that, if there is any
considerable quantity of coal dirt on
the farm of the plaintiff, the defend
ant can not be held responsible alone,
as scattered along between the mouth
of the Catawissa creek and Scranton
there are many other coal works, all
of which are sources of coal dirt Aft
er examining the farm of the plaintiff,
therefore, the jurors will in all prob
ability be conducted not only along
the Catawissa creek to its headwaters,
where the defendants coal works are
located. but will be conducted by the
showers along the North branch all
the way to Scranton. The court in
formed the jury that no doubt four
days or more will be occupied in their
examination of farm and water courses.
Sheriff Started, who will accom-
pany the jurors, will pay all car fare
and hotel bills.
Showers appointed are as fol-
lows: For the farm-representing
plaintiff, William Vastine; defendant,
Hiram Purdy. For the colliery-rep-
resenting plaintiff, Boyd Trescott; de-
fendant, Mr.. Dodge or Mr.. Cochran.

SIg1let

Ralph Kisner addressed the court
explaining that the highway in ques-
tion is in dispute and has been for
over forty years. He urged that the
road be relocated Judge Evans teok
the same view and suggested that the
supervisors are the proper persons un-
der the circumstances to take the mi.
tiative and move for a relocation.
The suggestion of the court in the
premises was acted upon and the sup.
ervisors at once began procedure look
ing toward relocation.
Squire r. G. Auten was appointed
foreman of the grand jury. Noah
Stump was appointed tipstaff.
In the case of Annie and Elizabeth
Ashton mol. pros. was allowed by
the court The girls had pleaded guilty
and presented themselves to court for
sentence some two months ago. The
evidence in the opinion of the court
did not sustain the charge. which was
serious one, and the defendants were
ordered to appear at court in October
for trial.
When the case came up yesterday
District Attorney Gearhart explained
that he had been unable TO secure any
additional evidence. Under the cir
cumstances the court permitted mol.
pros.
Before permitting the girls to go,
Judge Evans gave them some good adj
vice. They had been in Jail for over
four months. The Judge reminded
them that they had no doubt been
guilty of very improper conduct, and
he hoped that their imprisonment had
, taught them a good lesson. 1t was not
too late for them to reform and become
good women.
Salvador Palminsano, an Italian,
was admitted a citizen of the United
States by the court.
All the civil cases were continued
with the exception of the trespass suit
brought by Sophie q. Eckman against
the Lehigh & Wilkes Barre Coal com.
pany and the case of John G. ZaneI
VS.. the P. & r. Railway Company A
jury was impaneled in the "coal
dirt" case but it will not go on trial
until October 31st. Meanwhile the
jurors will personally examine the
premises of the plaintiff alleged to be
damaged, as we'll as the collieries OF
the defendant coal companies The
jurors were instructed to appear in
