SLAYER FREED

Marsden Hubbard, who shot and
killed Thomas Dolphin in the Dol
phin home near Waymart, Wayne
county, July 2S, walked out of the
Wayne county court house at
Honesdale on Thursday afternoon
of last week free man, the jury in
his case returned a verdict not guilty
after forty minutes deliberation.
Hubbard was surrounded by his
friends and command from Judge
A. T. Searle was all that prevented
a noisy demonstration.
1t was felt from the start that
Hubbard would be acquitted, but
after Mrs. Dolphin told her story
on the witness stand there was
little doubt as to the outcome.
She bore out Hubbard's contention
that he shot her husband in self
defense and under examination by
the district attorney, NJ. f. Simons,
she stuck to her testimony.
The case attracted wide attention
owing to the prominence of Hub
bard and the Dolphins throughout
Wayne county. The accused is a
physical giant and he enjoys local
fame as a singer and harmonica
player On the night of the mur-
der he entertained a company at
Dolphin home and remained as
their guest for the night. The
Dolphins quarreled and the wife
sought refuge in Hubbard's room.
Dolphin followed her and when he
menaced them, Hubbard shot him.

ATTACKED BY A GOLDEN
EAGLE
Berwick Man Has Exciting
Adventure Near Halls on
Monday Morning

To be savagely attacked by Il
golden eagle, so savagely indeed
that had he not had a shot gun
with which to defend himself, he
might and probably would have
suffered serious injury, was the re-
markabIe experience of III. E.
Gundrum, of Berwick, while hunt
ing near Halls Station on Monday.
He killed the eagle after a battle
and took it to Charles III. Eldon,
the taxidermist at Williamsport,
Tuesday for mounting.
Mr.. Gundrum went to Muncy
on Monday morning and went to
the vicinity of Halls to hnnt for
rabbits and pheasants. He had
entered field at the bottom of an
incline, when he saw a great bird
fly over the edge of of a hill near
by. The bird instantly began to
soar and swoop downward, without
seeming to move its wings, as if
looking for something.
Mr.. Gundrum thought that it
was "a hawk and watched it until,
when a few hundred feet away he
saw to his surprise that the bird
was headed not toward anything
small, but at himself and was
charging savagely. When about
% feet away Mr.. Gundrum fired
and the bird slackened in its flight
with a broken wing.
The charge did not stop it com
pletely, and it came on. Mr.. Gun
drum jumped out of the way as it
landed and turned toward him
He fired again as it was charging
and this time killed the bird. Mr..
Gundrum thought it was a very
large hawk and he did not know
what the bird was until he took it
to Mr.. EldOn and the latter pro-
nounced it one of the rare family
of golden eagles.

USES GUN FOR REST
WILL LOSE AN ARM
Young Lock Haven Boy Vic
tim of Serious Accident

Lock Haven, Nov. 3.--Dan
Probst, the 13-year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chrales Probst, will lik-
ely lose his right arm, as result
of an accident which befell him
yesterday near the R. X. tower in
the P. & f. railroad yards, east of
this place.
The boy had a loaded shot gun
in his possession, and with a num-
Der of companions, some of whom
also carried guns, was on his way
to the woods after small game. In
stopping for few moments he
placed the stock of the gun on the
ground, and rested his right arm
on the barrel. In moving the
weapon the trigger caught on some
object and the gun was discharged,
the load shattering the arm above
and below the elbow and tearing
away the muscles. He was brought
to the p. & E. station on a switch
ing engine, and from there he was
hurried. to the hospital in the am
bulance.
The surgeons after examining
the terrible wounds expressed the
opinion that amputation of the arm
will be necessary.

BIGGEST BEAR OF
SEASON SO FAR
Killed on North Mountain BY
Emmon Mausteller of
GraSSmere

Bloomsbury, Nov. 5.-One of
the biggest bears killed this season
was killed yesterday on North
Mountain by Emmon Mausteller,
of Grassmere Park. In con pany
with Charles Mausteller and Clar-
ence Stout, Mausteller had been
hunting all morning in the vicinity
of the Chimney Stack. Although
no bears had been seen, signs of
their presence were all about and
the hunters were positive that bear
were in the neighborhood. Short
after II o'clock, Charles Maustel-
Ter, and Stout, who were beating,
saw family of four, two large
bears and two cubs. The bears
rushed into the brush, with the
hunters in hot pursuit. Stout
standing at distance, saw the
male coming through the brush,
about three hundred yards away
from him.
The bear came on through the
brush, without seeing the hunter.
Waiting until the bear was within
fifteen PAGES of him, Mausteller
rails, d his gun and fired. The bull
let went through the heart, but
the bear kept his feet and lunged
on past the hunter for fifty yards
before he went down.
The weight is estimated at three
hundred pounds. The other three
made good their escape and nothing
further was seen the them.
