 They took turns at this labor, dis covering 8 loose nail which gave an opening purchase at the crack, thus enabling the insertion of a small wood en block, and insuring space for good finger grip when the right time came. A sleepy Mexican brought in their dinner, and set it down on the bench without a word, but on his re- turn with supper, the marshal accom- panied him, and remained while they ate, talking to Keith, and staring about the room. Fortunately, the sin gle window was to the west, the last rays of the sun struck the opposite wall, leaving the space behind the bench in deep shadow.

dealing in hides. He appeared to
be about "A years old; was 5 feet

Well-known Hotel Man Transfers
Lease to Barlow and Elmendorf
Change Took Place Thursday.

The Hotel Wayne is under new
management, the transfer of the
lease of the present proprietor, A.
G. Loomis, being made, Thursday, to
the firm of Barlow and Elmendorf.
Mr., LOOMS came here from De-
posit, n. Y, where he conducts an
other large hotel, in December, 1910,
and took charge of the uptown hos
telry succeeding the present owner,
John II. Weaver, who ran the hotel
successfully since April 16, 1892.
Since coming here the Loomis
have made many warm friends who
regret exceedingly to see them leave
the town.
Jesse c. Barlow, the senior mem
Der of the new firm, was for a num-
ber of years Under Sheriff of Sulli-
n. Y, Charles Elmendorf came to
Honesdale over year ago from Port
Jervis, n. Y, and opened a livery,

The house is famous for having
on it's list four boarders who have
ate and slept under it's hospitable
roof more than twenty-one year, viz:
Judge Earl Sherwood, Prof. j. H.
Cornell, Leopold Blumenthal and
William Schloss. A favorite stop
ping place of the farmers for years
past, a well-known rendezvous of pol
iticians and newspapermen, it doubt
less will continue to maintain is
present high standard, as a splendid
family hotel, under the new manage
ment.

TWO NEARLY DROWNED AT BEACRLAKE

On Saturday afternoon at Beach
lake several young people found out
that thin ice is very dangerous for
skating. To end up the holidays in
good fashion several young people
went out to skate on Beachlake on
Saturday The ice was not very
thick and numerous large holes made
1t very dangerous. Lester Treverton
slipped into one OF the holes and had
to be fished out. Miss Henrietta
Budd slipped into another hole and
in trying to assist her Miss May
Bradbury slipped in also. The cries
of the girls brought the assistance OF
Hiram Wood, who arrived just as
Miss Budd came above water for the
third time, and rescued her with diff
ficulty. Miss Bradbury could swim
and managed to keep above water un-
til the assistance came to her. They
were taken to the home of j. p.
Budd, where the drenched clothing
was removed and their sences were
recovered. After being put to bed
and the administering of hot drinks,
the young ladies are now feeling no
bad effects of their misadventure.

THINGS IN HONESDALE "12O
MINUTES FROM SCRANTON.

Charles Riley, married. 322
Ridge street, arrested a week ago
for alleged false pretense, in that he
secured $500 from Mrs. Patrick J.
McNally, South Main street, a year
ago last October. when he made her
believe her husband sent him down
to get the money, and held under

going his bond, for seven days, was
given another chance, Thursday
morning, before Squire Robert A.
Smith, when his attorney Mayor
Chas. A. McCarty informed the JUS
tice that his client would waive
further hearing, and that his bonds
men would renew their bail for
Riley's appearance at Court.
I'VE thought we'd give him an
other chance" parenthetically re-
marked Mr.. McNally to the Court.
IN give him six years to pay it il
he'll pay $50 year"
Patrick j. McNally, manager OF
Lake Lodore for the past twelve
years, former keeper of a canal store
for 35 years, who owned 46 boats
when the canal went out of COM
mission, told a Citizen man all about
Thursday morning, awaiting Riley's
appearance.

sold it, he'd pay me.
There was more against the farm
than lit was worth. The farm was
sold here lately for about half what

my life, until | met him on the train

against your farm, go down and see
my wife and she can go up to the

He went down to see her. He

him a check on the Wayne County
Savings Bank. Riley had a farm
at Rock Lake, about % miles from
here. 1t was a good farm. But he
sold the timber on it a couple OF
years ago, and it's pretty well run
down.
"I'll bet there's quite a few he's
got money from. | know twenty he
got money from in amounts between
s. and $50. | wouldn't say any
thing if it was only $50, but $500,
it's too much to lose, to come a game
like that.

By this time Riley came in with
his attorney, and got matters

DECEMBER HAD
JUST EIGHTEEN
Who Gave Wedding Rings
For Xmas Presents
SOME WERE YOUNG, AND SOME
WERE GRAY; FARMERS, SURE,
DID HAVE THEIR DAY!

Eighteen couples decided that the
Santa Claus month" of December
was an ideal time in which to ex-
change such valuable tokens of love
and affection as wedding rings, and
so eighteen bridegrooms put Christ
mas into practice by endowing eigh-
teen brides with all their worldly
goods.
Nine of the Bashful Benedicts or
just one half of the eighteen were
farmers. For several months past
the farmers have brought up the
rear in the matrimonial procession,
but now that the election is past,
and the outside work is all done,
ample spare time is theirs and their
thoughts turn lightly to love and
matrimonv.
Other occupations represented in
the December list included two glass
cutters and a like number of paint
ers. There was one contractor, one
brakeman, one lumberman, one
laborer, and one ideal husband (save
the mark who gave his occupation
as "at home!"
Fourteen of the brides said that
they were simply "stay-at-homes."
One owned up to being a housework-
er. Another confessed she was a
laborer. Still another swore that
she was a lady. And there was one
clerk.
The average age OF the grooms
was twenty-eight years plus. The
average age of the brides was twenty
five years minus. The oldest groom
was forty-six. The youngest one
was only eighteen. Two were nine
teen years old. Two had reached
their majority. One was twenty
two; two were twenty-three. Six
were over thirty years of age
The oldest bride was forty-five
The most youthful one had only
passed fifteen summers. One bride
was sweet sixteen. Two were only
seventeen. Two were nineteen
years of age. Two were twenty.
Five were thirty years past" Four
brides were older than their pros
pective husbands.
The County Seat was represented
by two bridegrooms, and three
brides. Two of the grooms came
from Pike county, and a third gave
his residence as Newton, n. j. A
fourth lived in Scranton. Among
the brides, one came from the
Electric City. A second came from
Lackawanna county. Another lived
in Pike county. And still another
resided in York state.
The ages of the contracting par
ties, with those OF the grooms given
first, were as follows:
