Council Bluffs, July 22.-J. +.
Redfield, who lives near Shena1-
doah, emulated Roosevelt's Texas
friend, Marshal Alternately, in the
killing of large grey wolf with his
hands. Redfield heard commotion
in his chicken house last night ard
when he reached the place he saw
what he thought was large dog.
He ran towards the "dog" ard
shouted at it.
Instead of the animal running
away 1t came towards Redfield snap
ping and snarling. Redfield dis
covered his error just as the wolf
made leap and lunge towards Red
fields throat. He stepped aside
quickly and grasped the wolf by the
hind legs. He then, swinging the
wolf at arms length hit the ami
mails head over a post, finishing it
with a brick after he had taken the
fight out of it.

HOSPITAL NOT GIVEN UP

TION SAYS so.

We do not intend that the hos
pital project shall Drop" said the
president of the Wayne County Hos

weather is over we intend to call a
meeting and go ahead with the work.
BY no means do we intend to allow
the proposition to fall through. The
people have subscribed their money
and it will be used for no other
purpose whatsoever, contrary to
what statements have been made as
to diverting it into other channels.
| was in conversation with a member
of a family whose brother was in
jured on Wednesday and he said by
no means drop the hospital project.
Owing to the fact that so many
persons, of late, have been taken to
Scranton hospitals for surgical OPP
erations, it behooves the townspeople
interested in a hospital for Wayne
county to respond to the call. The
ride over the Moosic to Scranton is
hard on a sick person and many
times they are in no condition for an
operation when they arrive at their
destination. We hope we shall
have the support of the gentlemen.
The Ladies' Auxiliary has done mag
nificent work and some of the auxili-
aries have raised over their allotted
amount Yes, indeed, we are work
ing on the hospital fund and en-
phatically declare that we do not in
tend that it shall fall through"

Prominent Druggist
is Affected by Heat
HALF-DAZED CONDITION
RIDES TO BEACHLAKE.

While prostrations during the
very hot wave which recently held
the people of Honesdale in it's grip
has in no case produced fatal re-
suits, it has had it's victims. One of
the most noticeable was that of Percy
L. Cole, the druggist, who was over
come at his store on Tuesday, the
18th inst. While suffering from the
effects of heat or sunstroke, Mr.. Cole
wandered from his place of business
and in half-dazed condition went to
Beachlake on Jacob Killers stage,
where he engaged a room at H. d.
Woods summer hotel. He immedi-
ately lay down upon his bed and
went to sleep. His family having
been notified they sent an automo-
bile to Beachlake and Mr.. Cole was
brought to his home at Honesdale,
where DR.. F. w. Powell gave him
medical attendance. Mr.. Cole seems
to have no recollection of his actions
during his trip and knows nothing
about how he got to Beachlake. I'm
der the care of DR.. Powell, Mr.. Cole
is slowly recovering, but has been
advised by his physician that rest
entirely free from his business will
be necessary to bring about a COM
plete recovery.

whats the best thing to do to
keep cool this kind of weather."
Five Honesdale doctors answered
the question to a Citizen man over
the phone Wednesday afternoon
with the thermometer soaring way up
in the nineties.
DR.. r. w. Brady, the president of
the Honesdale Medical society and
the Dean of the local medical fra
ternity said:

ator! Well, now, the best thing to do
Is not to get excited, not to eat too
much, and exercise gently. Make the
best of it.
Il don't know of any way to keep
cool" laughingly concluded the doc
tor.
DR.. L. B. Nielsen, the Eleventh
street practitioner and secretary of
lows:
We'll different people give differ

cool myself. The thermometer has
gone up so much, it's too hot to think
about it.

his sensible advice.
Coroner P. B. Peterson, the Main

MAYOR KUHBACH'S HEARS COM
MENT ON MONUMENT.

Mayor Kuhbach, who returned
Wednesday from Towanda, stated
that he met three Lehigh Valley
railroad engineers at that place who
were very enthusiastic over the
Stourbridge Lion-Horatio Allen
monument movement. They claimed
they would assist in the project,
which was very gratifying news for
the Mayor. He said wherever he
mentioned it that persons, many of
whom are not railroad employees,
seemed very much interested and ex-
pressed a willingness to help in any
and every way possible. Several
parties never knew that Honesdale
was the place where the first loco
motive turned a wheel on the Amer
lean continent.
Honesdale will be known to be on
the map after the project has been
advertised country wide, as is the
purpose of the publicity committee.
1t will not be known simply as the
first place where the Stourbridge
Lion turned a wheel, but also one
of the most picturesque places to
visit, build home or erect fac
tory.

DEMOCRATIC POW WOW
BITTER STRUGGLE AT RIVAL
HEADQUARTERS AT HARRIS
RTTRE

The rival headquarters of the fight
ing wings of the Pennsylvania Dem
ocracy will be in full blast within
the next two days, and if the reser-
vations at hotels are anything to go
by there will be the biggest powwow
in a decade held by the Democrats
In Harrisburg next Wednesday. Har-
mony has been cast to the four winds
and the members of the Old Guard,
disgusted at the rule or ruin policy
of the Palmer-Guthrie-McC McCormick
faction, are quietly lining up stall
warts in every section of the State.
Committeeman have been elected in
several countries by both wings and
it would not be a bit surprising to
find on a show down that the noise
made by Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer and others connected with
the hatchet faction has been more
whistling to keep up courage than
the sounds of the Democrats rallying
to the support of an unselfish reor-
ganization.
The headquarters of the Old Guard
in the Mechanics Bank Building,
which have presented a rather funer-
cal appearance lately, will be wide

ket Square headquarters will be few
erishly active this week, as the time
has come for the show down and all
of the ginger that Secretary James

The Old Guard people have been
staying away from Harrisburg and
keeping quiet. No claims have been
made by Dewalt or others and Pal
mer and Blakslee have been allowed
to talk to their hearts content. Pal
mer is quoted as claiming fifty of the
| eighty-three members, while a week
ago Blakslee claimed fifty-three. AS
| it only takes a dozen or so to make
quorum, the organization of two
committees with solemn addresses to
the people will be easy. Then the
courts will be called on to determine
which faction really had a majority
of bona fide members and hatchet
tactics will go under the cold scru'
tiny of the law.
The attendance at the meetings or
the 18th is going to be notable. The
reorganizers, now that they are II

ORSON MINISTER.
STILL MISSING
No Clue Yet to the Rev.
Mr.. SisnOr'S Whereabouts
DISAPPEARED ON MONDAY IN
SCRANTON; MAY HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED BY HEAT.

Everybody is on the lookout for
of the Methodist Episcopal church at
Orson, who disappeared in Scranton
at $50 o'clock Monday afternoon,
and is still missing.
Not a word has been heard of Mr..
Signor nor the slightest clue obtain
ed of his whereabouts since he reg
istered package at the Lackawan-
ma laundry at $50 o'clock Friday
afternoon. What became of the
popular Orson minister after that
time is as deep a mystery as ever.
Rev. Mr.. Signor is thirty-three
years of age, is five feet four in
ches in height, weIgns f40 pounds,
has dark hair, round, smooth face
and may be identified by a slight
convulsive nervous twitching of the
head. When last seen he wore a
dark sack suit and black derby
hat. The only theory offered by his
friends for the strange disappear
ance is that the terrific hot weather
lately has affected his mind and that
probably he is wandering about aim
lessly
AS it is possible that Mr.. Signor
boarded a train at Scranton short
ly after his visit to the laundry, the
railway conductors have been asked
to keep a sharp lookout for the
missing minister.
Rev. Leonard C. Murdock, d. D.,
district superintendent of the Scran-
ton district of the Wyoming confer
ence, is doing all that he can 10 as
certain what became of Mr.. Signor,
but without success
"I am convinced that if the news
papers cannot find Mr.. Signor no one
can," said DR.. Murdock. "The pub
lication of the story in the papers
throughout the country ought to
bring us news quickly. I expect that
there will be something definite
within twenty-four hours after the
newspapers have circulated the
story"
All the ministers of the wyoming
conference are on the lookout for
information concerning their miss
ing confrere and through these min
listers, numbering over fifty; the
members of all the Methodist con-
gregations will be enlisted in the
search.
Inquiry has been made at all the
local railway stations, hospitals, ano
undertakers' morgues, but no clue
has as yet been secured.
The young minister's family life
and pastoral relations were unusual
ly happy. In both Orson and the
surrounding country Rev. Mr.. Sig
nor was we'll liked. The news of his
sudden and mysterious disappear
ance created widespread surprise in
all quarters.
Mrs. Signor who accompanied hei
husband to Scranton on the day thai
he disappeared, is still at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John e
Wolff, of 2027 North Main avenue

RIEFLERS WIN ON APPEAL
SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN
THEIR FAVOR; ODD LEGAL
POINTS INVOLVED.

The case of Reifler & Son incor-
porated, against the Wayne Storage
Water Power company, has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court in favor
of the plaintiff, decision having been
rendered on Thursday of last week.
This case was presented to the court
below on an agreement as to facts
without the intervention of a jury.
Judge Fuller of the Luzerne county
courts, heard the case, Judge Searle
being a member of the Wayne Stor-
age Water Power Company and
therefore an interested party. The
decision in the Court below was for
the defendant, and it was from that
decision that an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court. The case involv-
ed the title to the Upper and Lower
Woods Ponds in Lebanon township;
Refer & Co. having purchased from
the Coe F. Young estate the lands on
which the ponds were located, and
Judge Searle and his associates hav-
ing purchased from the Delaware and
Hudson Co., it's right, title and inter-
est in the ponds. This case turned
upon the Interpretation of the reser-
vation clause in the original deed of
the lands from the Delaware & Hud-
son Canal company to Lord and
Tracey; and involved some very nice
and novel points of law.
The attorneys for the plaintff were
Homer Greene and e. C. Mumford.
In the argument before the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Greene was assisted by
Russell Duane, Esq, of Philadelphia.
The attorneys for the defendant
were F. P. Kimble. Esq, and Hon.
H. Wilson. Mr.. Kimble argued the
case before the Supreme Court.
