Meets Terrible Fate
in TOWanda Jail.

III 1OWduud jan.
James Vanderpool, better known
in Towanda and vicinity as "Mon-
KEY Faced jim" died in the Pack
er Hospital in Sayre on Friday
morning from burns received in the
Towanda Jail a few hours before.
Vanderpool had been on a spree
and after trip to the East Side
Hotel which is now occupied by a
Vanderpool family at which place
he created a disturbance, he re-
turned to Towanda and was i'm
mediately nabbed by an officer and
placed in the Jail. After a short
sleep on cot in the cell he arose
and proceeded to make things live
ly by tongue lashing a gang of ho-
boes who were lodging in part OF
the building.
Not being satisfied with this he
desided to burn them up and set
fire to his mattress. He stood by
and calmly surveyed the fire until
it became too hot for him when he
pulled it from the cot and climbed
up on the bed. The flames set fire
to his clothes on which it was
thought he had spilled alcohol, and
soon enveloped him in flames and
he fell to the floor with his feet in
the fire where he lay writhing in
pain.
The screaming of the tramps fin
ally brought help and the fire was
extinguished and doctor sum-
moned. The man was placed on a
shop train running to Sayre and
taken Immediately to the hospital
but too late to save his life.
Vanderpool was native of To
wanda township and has a GRIM
inal career which has been the
cause of much expense to Brad
ford County, and much trouble to
officers.

We note that Editor Taylor OF
the Dushore Review in the columns
of his paper states concerning the
story of the murder of John Veit-
engruber, that the Reviews story
published thirteen years ago was
deliberately stolen at that time by
a Williamsport paper and now is
again published by a Philadelphia
paper. In this issue of the News
Item we have published an opening
installment of this interesting story
as it appears in the Williamsport
and Philadelphia papers which we
think will be of interest to oul
readers. We wish to place credit
where credit is due, however, anG
herewith acknowledge the Review
as the originator of the story in
stead of the Philadelphia Nortl
American which paper we have
mentioned in the opening of the
story, as the writer.

Another Murder
Suspect Arrested.

suspect Arrested.
Tony Sharrone an italian with a
bad reputation was arrested in
South Wa 5erly on Wednesday of
last week and after a hearing at
Bernice was brought to Laporte
Tuesday evening of this week and
lodged in the county Jail. He
with Charley Bell, also held in the
Jail, are accused of the murder OF
the Italian section boss whose body
was found under pile of railroad
ties at Bernice sometime ago.
Sharrone was traced to Elmira
and from there back to Waverly
from which place he was induced
by officers to come over the state
line into Pennsylvania where the
arrest was made. Albert Seron of
Waverly claims to have witnessed
the crime with which SharrOne
is charged and recognized the man
as the guilty one.
Sharrone is relative of Dominic
Sharrone who was acquitted of the
murder of Eugene Messenger of
Athens in the Bradford County
courts three years ago, and is sup
posed to be the man who slashed
another italian in Waverly when
he refused to give him money.
1t is alleged that Sharrone and
Charles Bell struck the italian on
the head with club and carried
him to pile of railroad ties, then
cut his throat and robbed him, af-
terward covering his body with
railroad ties.
Bell was taken from the Jail to
Bernice Tuesday m orning for trial
and both prisoners were brought to
Laporte Tuesday Evening.

by the popular interest in the choice
of Senators from New York and Massa-
chusetts. In neither of these States,
it is evident, are the people going to
be satisfied to see the Scholarships
filed by the Legislatures without a
word of advice from them.
In Massachusetts, Governor-elect
Foss has taken the stump against the
return of Henry Cabot Lodge. He is
touring the whole State in an automo-
bile, trying to stir up the voters to
advise their Legislators not to vote
for Lodge, on the ground that it was
Lodge who was really repudiated in
the balloting which made Mr.. Foss
Governor.
la New York, the matter has no.
gone so far as to produce popular tours
of the voting districts. but the people
are showing by many letters to the
press that they are interested, and
that they fear the resultif the Boss of
Tammany Hall is allowed to dictate
the selection of a Senator.
The New York Evening Post has
published pages OF interviews In sup
port of the candidacy of Edward M,
Shepard. The New York Times has
gone further with a call for a popular
primary of the Democratic voters to
make known their views before the
Legislature reaches the subject. Every
where there is a feeling that the Demo
cratic party will be judged by what it
does with this typical Senatorship,
rather than by what its House may
attempt a year from now.
The same idea applies to Ohio and
Maine. If the Democrats of Ohio,
New York and Maine are fooled into
sending up Democrats of the same
school to replace Dick, Depew and
Hale, the party is likely to hear from
the West u~npIeasanlly.
At the same time il is acknowledged
that something of a line on whether
the Republican party means to remain
Progressive may be had in the Massa
chusetts contest. Lodge is admitted
to be, next to Aidrich, the man most
responsible for the Payne tariff bill
mistakes. His re election would not
