BOY KILLS PLAYMATE AT PLAY.

Edwin Leroy, ten years old, and
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Leroy,
of Glen Eyre, shot and killed his play
mate, Matthew Aktin, aged eight
years, and son of Mr.. and Mrs. l..
Aktin, on Saturday afternoon while
attempting to shoot at a target with
a 22-calibre rife. The boys were
playing in the barn on the Leroy
property that afternoon and the Ak
tin boy had been invited to the Le-
roy home to shoot at target with
the rife. The Leroy boy held the
gun and had pointed it toward the
target and pulled the trigger just as
the Aktin boy walked in front of it,.
The bullet struck the Aktin boy on
the left side of the abdomen and he
died within an hour. The wounded
boy was taken to the Leroy home
and DR.. A. C. Voigt was called in
but he found that the bullet had
perforated the organs and Matthew
Aktin died about an hour after the
shooting, which occurred about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. The shoot
ing was accidental.

OCTOBER TERM OF COURT A
SHORT ONE
Only Four Criminal and One Civil
Case Tried-Court Adjourned
Friday Noon-Jurors Dis
missed-FOur Sentenced.

The October term of court came
to a sudden close on Friday morning
owing to the fact that there was no
more business before the court that
could be taken up at this term. The
criminal list was disposed of and
one civil suit was also decided before
noon. The jurors were discharged
at half-past eleven o'clock Friday
morning and were thanked by the
Court for their attendance. The
cause of the early termination of
this term of court was due to the
sudden ending of the case of the
Commonwealth against Allen Bodie,
ct al, charged with riot and assault
and battery. The indictment was
quashed owing to a technicality.
The case was scheduled to take a
day and half and there were none
! of the other civil cases ready for
| trial. All, with the exception of the
| case of N. H. Lippert against c. A,
! Cortright & Son, were continued un-
| til the January term of court. A
| jury was sworn in and gave a verdict
/ for the plaintiff for the full amount
| of the claim of $3.50 for apples
with interest from November l
1909, which was $14.99, making g
total of $9S.29.
OF the eleven indictments of the
grand jury only four were tried il
court last week. Four, with indict
ments against them plead guilty
The case of the Commonwealth VS.
Morton Kinds, of Canaan, for selling
liquor without a license, was con

BASKET BALL.

Before the largest crowd that has
been in the skating rink for many
a day, the Maple City Five opened
their basket ball season on Friday
night last.
Their opponents we're the renoun-
ed Taylor team, who we're last years
champions of Backawanna and Lu-
zerne counties by defeating the
Wilkes-Barre team for the title.
When you consider this fact and the
fact that this is the tenth year that
this same five men from Taylor have
been playing together and making
reputation for themselves, in fact
defeating some of the best teams in
the country, you will no doubt sit
up and take notice when we tell you
that the game ended in a tie score,
20 to 20, and Taylor for reasons best
| known to themselves, refused to play
| it off. To do this trick in their first
game of the season, with a team
which is not used to playing to-
gether, the locals had to "go some"
and they showed that Honesdale
will have basket ball this season that
will be we'll worth seeing. The game
was clean, exciting and fast, espec-
| tally in the last half, when the To-
Gals were gradually working up to
their opponents and when Ross shot
the basket that tied the score just
before the whistle blew, bedlam
broke loose. The score at the end
of the first half was 2 to in favor
of Taylor.

FACT WHOLE COUNTY is GOOD

The portion of old Wayne in the
vicinity of Mount Cobb and VIM
mers, by the way, is a fine apple
country. And the crop this year
seems to have been in the bumper
class. In passing one orchard where
the trees loaded with red and golden
fruit appeared to have been neglect
ed by the one who should do the
pruning, we started to lecture the
owner on the subject of apple cul-
ture. Now, if you would spray
those trees Huh! What for?"
was the quick response. I'VE have
so many apples now that the cellars
won't hold 'em. Look at them over
there on the ground" We had to
admit that the crop was all right,
and with the suggestion that the
man ought to build a larger cellar
we passed on with no signs of re-
gret on the part of anyone about
the place save the big dog who
seemed to sympathize with the man
who wanted to spray the trees
