LYNETT HOMESTEAD BURNS
IN DUNMORE
FIREMEN KEPT ON JUMP WITH
THREE BLAZES, TWO DUE TO
THAWING OF PIPES.

The Dunmore firemen crowded the
record for one days fires Sunday
when they were called out to fight
three outbreaks. The first alarm
was at l o'clock, and was due to a
slight blaze in the home of Henry
UT as a result of thawing frozen
water pipes. The Neptune company
alone responded and the use of their
chemical tanks was all that was re-
quired, although the flames had eat
en- their way between the studding
to the roof. The second alarm was
about 8 o'clock. This was due to a
fire in the house at Chestnut and
Willow streets, owned by Miss Mar
garet Lynett and occupied by Mrs.
Holleran. Here there was no one at
home, the fire evidently starting
from an overheated stove, and the
whole interior was ablaze when it
was discoverd. The house was the
old Lynett homestead built in 1852
and in which E. j. Lynett, editor of
the Times, was born. The Neptune,
Independent and Smith companies
responded. While the Neptune COM
pany was still on duty at this fire an
alarm went in from box l3, New
York street and Jefferson avenue,
nearly a mile away. The Smiths were
recalled to the Lynett fire and the
Neptunes were ordered TO answer
the last alarm. The blaze proved to
be in the house of J. C.. Gavin, on
Marion street, and here again de-
spite the delay in getting away from
the Lynett fire the Neptunes one re-
naming clinical tank was sufficient
to kill a good healthy blaze creeping
up the studding, caused in an effort
to thaw water pipes with an open
flame. This was the third blaze of
the day in this house, but it was
the first time it had reached proper
tiOns that demanded the calling out
of the firemen. One Sunday last
Summer the fire companies were
called out five times, but with that
exception Sunday holds the record
for an almost always busy day.

KILLED FIN AN ERIE WRECK.
Trainman J. J. McNeally Fatally In
iured at Winners, Pa.-Colli-
sion of Two Trains.

Erie Trainman j. j. McNeally, of
Port Jervis, was killed in a wreck on
the Wyoming Division of the Erie at
WINNERS, Lackawanna county, Pa,
10 miles east of Dunmore, about
6:20 o'clock Thursday, caused by the
collision between an east-bound train
in charge of Conductor H. Duffy and
a west bound train in charge of Con-
ductor E. Martin.
The trains were scheduled to meet
and pass at Winners. 1t is stated
that Conductor Martins train, west
bound, had pulled in a siding to let
the east-bound train by, and was
not all the way in when the east
bound train came along and crashed
into the west-bound train.
The east-bound engine and several
cars were derailed and piled up in a
mass of wreckage. The engine crew
escaped by jumping. The exact
manner of the death of MCNeally is
not known, but it is stated that he
lived but 20 minutes after his in
jury. Wreckers from Dunmore were
called and cleared the tracks.

vestigation and found evidence that
dore Furman.
Eugene Furman, OF 400 North
street, confessed to Chief McCoach
and Chief Wilson, OF the o. a. W.
police, that the body was that of his
brother, and that his brother Joseph
had killed him.
When Eugene was confronted by
the officers Friday afternoon, and
given to understand that they had
" something on him." he broke down
and said that he would tell them all.
The crime according to his confess
sion, took place on the night of
Wednesday, December 81, at the
home. 1t was committed by Joseph
Furman, brother of the dead man,
in the presence of his mother, Mrs.
Ellen f.. Furman, and during a fam
lily quarrel.
The shot was fired from a Win
chester rifle, and the bullet passed
through Theodores heart, killing
him instantly.
Eugene said he was upstairs when
the shot was fired and that he ran
down, and saw what had occurred
and was told by his mother and
brother to go back upstairs and keep
his mouth shut.
The brother Joseph Is now locked
up.
This is the second case of murder
committed in Middletown in about a
month and in each case the dead
man was killed by his own blood
brother.

OFFICERS OF KEYSTONE GUARD
HELD FOR COURT
JUDGE SEARLE DISSOLVES WRIT
OF HABEAS CORPUS THAT
HAD BEEN GRANTED TO
OFFICERS

The writ of habeas corpus applied
for by J. w. Beaman, president of
the Keystone Guards, o. l.. Heverly,
treasurer, and DR.. f.. M. Cowell,
Supreme Medical examiner, was dis
solved by Judge Searle at ii o'clock,
sitting in the courts of Bradford
county, at Towanda, Friday, and they
were held to await the action of the
next grand jury of Bradford county.
The next grand jury will meet on
January 20 and at that time the evil
dence against the three former Off
GERS of the Keystone Guards who
were charged with Conspiring to de-
fraud the policy-holders of that
beneficial organization will be pre-
sented. The case will be of great in
terest to the many persons holding
policies of this company, in Wayne
county.
Before the grand jury, according
to law, the three men can make no
defense. AS there was sufficient
evidence presented before Justice
Cary, of Bradford county, to hold
the three men to the grand jury and
as Judge Searle has also decided
that there was sufficient evidence,
the grand jury will undoubtedly
take similar view. This will mean
that the three men must face a trial
jury.
At the time the evidence was pre-
sented before Justice Carey it was
the intention of the defence that
there was not sufficient proof of a
conspiracy upon which to hold for
court. AS soon as the Justice held
them they asked for commitment
and as soon as they were given to
the custody Of the sheriff they ask
ed for a writ of habeas corpus, al
leging that the evidence was insult
fcient and held that they should
be discharged. They were released
on bail.
The evidence taken before Justice
Carey was presented to Judge Searle
of Wayne county, sitting in the
courts of Bradford county at To-
wanda, on Friday. From early Fri
day morning till late that night the
attorneys argued the case and there
has rarely been as spirited a legal
contest in Bradford county. On Sat
urday Judge Searle took the case
under consideration and dissolved the
writ of habeas corpus, holding that
| there was sufficient evidence of a
conspiracy to hold for appearance
! at court.
Six attorneys argued the case for
the defendants and three, including
District Attorney Charles NJ. Culver
for the commonwealth. The case Is
stirring up interest in this vicinity
for there are many policy holders
in Wayne and adjoining counties
The evidence taken before the jus
tice at Harrisburg and before Judge
oearle at Towanda last Friday con
sisted of about fourteen hundred
pages of typewriter evidence.

MAN FOUND IN ASHES;
KILLED BY BROTHER.

While engaged in unloading a car
of cinders at Bakers Switch, near
Valley Junction, on the Port Jervis
branch of the Ontario and Western
about II o'clock on Friday, an Ital-
ian working on top of the car, push
ed his shovel into the cinders and
struck something hard.
Thinking at first that it was per-
haps a dead dog or something which
had been thrown into the ashes, for
these things are sometimes found,
the Italian dug around and uncover
ed the body, which was found to be
that of a man.
Every atom of flesh, with the ex-
ception of a little on the right arm,
and most of the clothing was de-
stroyed.
The car, according to Eugene
Rhodes, the agent of the Ontario and
Western at Westbrookville, had lain
in the switch the greater part of
last week, and was loaded in the
city OF Middletown. The section
gang was in charge of A. VanAken,
Jr., and Elias Griffin, foreman, and
the officials of the road were at once
notified of the gruesome find.
The body had been practically de-
stroyed by the hot cinders, and had
either been cut, or was burned di-
rectly across the middle.
DR.. James A. Cauthers, of Monti-
cello, the coroner, was notified, as
was Special Officer Grant r. Wilson,
of Middletown, who conducted an in

Seven Hundred and Twelve Deeds
Recorded During 1911.

Seven hundred and twelve deeds
were entered for record in the office
of Recorder of Deeds Emerson w.
Gammell in the year ending Decem-
ber 81, 1911. During the same per-
iod eighty-nine wills were admitted
to probate by Register of Wills En-
erson w. Gammell.
One hundred and thirty-fve mort
cages were entered in the same Of
flee. Fifty-three bonds were filed,
as well as one hundred and thirty
five miscellaneous legal documents.
1924 documents in all were filed in
the Recorders office in 1911.
Inasmuch as there are only 312
days in the year on which contracts
can be legally made, these figures
show that, on an average, two real
estate deals were put through each
working day, in Wayne county.
OF the $50 deeds executed since
April IA, 1911, when the new Law
requiring the Register and Recorder
to furnish the County Commissioners
with monthly record of land trans
fers no less than 142, or almost one
third of the total number, were
made "for and in consideration of
81, lawful money of the United
States of America, we'll and truly
paid by the parties of the first part
to the parties of the second part"
A statement of all such deeds
and conveyances of all such real es-
tate within said district must be fur
nished by the Commissioners Clerk
to the assessors of the various town
ships and boroughs, to be used by

ascertaining the value of such real
estate. In framing this law, one i'm
portant clause was omitted, in that
people are not compelled to give the
actual valuation of their property.
If this provision had been added to
the statute, the reports would be
worth something. AS it stands, it
only gives information to the asses
sors of real estate, transactions, but
nothing as to the value of the prop
critics transferred.
Under the Act approved April 13,
1911, by Governor John X. Tener,
the recorder of deeds in each and
every county of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, having a population
not to exceed 400, 900, is required
to keep a daily record of every deed
or conveyance of land in the said
county, which record shall set forth
this information: to wit, the date of
the deed or conveyance. the names
of the grantor and grantee, the con-
sideration mentioned in the deed,
the location of the property, the
acreage of the land conveyed. The
| Recorder must file this daily record
in the Commissioners office on the

recorder of deeds shall charge the
person presenting a deed of convey
