FLIRTING GERS
MAN TO COURT
Beat Wife Who Caught Him
Minking at Another

A naughty wink at the lady
downstairs" caused disruption in n1e-
household of Gus Gunkel at 212
New street and terminated with his
arraignment in police court this
morning. He was acc sed of having
brutally beaten his wife after she
had amonished him for flirting. Act
ing Recorder James S. Wight was
lenient upon request of Mrs. Gunkel
and sentenced Gunkel to go home
with his wife and be good in the fu-
ture.
Mrs. Gunkel appeared in police
court this morning with a little child
on her arms. She exhibited a cut
across the bridge of her nose, which
she declared had been inflicted to-
Pether with other wounds by the hus-
band. GunkePs defense was that his
wlre and others had called him
names after he had been caught
winking at a lady living downstairs
in the house in which they reside. He
said anger overcame him and he at
tackled his accusers.
The court warned him about hit
ting n woman and told him to walk
out of the house when he felt that he
could no longer bear to be called
names. Gunkel said he was thirty
two years old and worked steadily.

ors to enable them to share the
100000 bond money. In case the
decision is allowed to stand creditors
here, in Jersey City, WilkesB Barre,
Pa, and Youngstown, O., will receive
little or nothing on their claims, it Is
stated upon good authority.

ty and in Suffolk county In New York
state, q meeting Of creditors has been
called to authorize the sale of such
lands. Such a meeting will be held

tion would be sold to the highest bid

Several matches were found on the
ledge of the refrigerator in which the
canned meats, butter. etc, are kept,
indicating that the burglar used this
means of lighting his wa through
the store. Several small cans of
meats were taken from the upper
shelves of the refrigerating box. The
back door showed conclusive signs Of

found ajar after the firemen arrived,
showing the thief had not time to
close it when he made his rapid exit

1t seems that after the burglar or
burglars left John II. Toft and Sons
grocery blazing, they camped for a
while in the stables of the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company

this morning that two bags Of oats,
containing one and one-half bushels
each, had been carried away. In
one of the wagons was also found
remains of can of California
peachers and bits of crackers, which
undoubtedly had been appropriated
from the robbed grocery.
Thomas Lucas and family, who
live over the Toft grocery, were hard

the city poor farm, on George S

Jail was made by David c. Bowen,
one of the Inspector of the Board OF
Health. The report was read at the
meeting of the Board of Freeholders
held yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Bow

no reason why the present jail should
be retained because Of Its conditions.

that the jail was not proper place
for the confinement of the prisoners,
morally or otherwise.
No action was taken by the board
on the matter, but Director Hend-
ricks stated that the board realized
that the time had arrived when a
new jail must be build and the only

otherwise in an effort to discover the
author OF yesterdays attempt to ex-
plode can of blasting powder in
the bank. Examination of the can

saw smoke coming from the can and
picked it up. He ran to a fountain
with the contrivance and gave it a
dousing, extinguishing the point of

made by the can Of powder would
have had little effect on the heavy
masonry of the bank walls, but 1t is
said many about the ratings where
1t was found might have been seri-
ously hurt.

home another ju-ju was invoked,
with the result that the son confess

guilty, and that they had killed and
eaten seven other men and women.
Strangely enough, people accused
of this uncanny power nearly always
acknowledge their guilt, even when
fully aware that such confession
will probably cost them their lives.

DARING HOLDUP OF FARMER,
SHOT BY UNKNOWN MEN.

A daring holdup occurred on the
Crystal Lake road, near the falls,
about a mile and a half from Car
bondale, at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday
evening, in which Abel Tompkins,
a Greenfield farmer, aged forty-two
years, was shot in the left breast. He
is now at the Emergency hospital,
and unless complications arise, will
recover. The bullet entered the left
breast about one inch below the
heart and across to the right side.
Mr.. Tompkins had spent the day
in Carbondale, where he disposed of
a large quantity of Thanksgiving
fowl, and was returning with the
receipts Of his sale when the holdup
took place. At the place of the
holdup it is very dark and he was
driving slowly when two men, with
drawn revolvers, stepped in front
of his team and under threats of
death ordered him to "hold up his
hands" Instead, Mr. Tompkins laid
the whip on his team and drove
away, the bandits firing four shots
after him, only one of which struck
him. Mr.. Tompkins drove to the
hotel of Joe Sheeck, a short dis
tance farther on the same road and
was then brought back to Emergency
hospital.

KILLED ON EVE OF MARRIAGE
Avoca, N. ", Man Struck by Train at
Rochester.

James w. Green, the prominent
farmer of Avoca who suddenly disap-
peared three weeks ago on the eve
of his wedding to Miss Ella Rynders,
of Avoca, was killed by a train in
Jackson, Mich, according to a dis
patch received few days ago. The
body was identified by a cousin of
the bride-to-be, who resides in Mich
igan, and has known the man in
Avoca.
Green went to Rochester to make
some purchases for his wedding, and
when he did not return friends in
stituted a search, but the man SEEM
ed to have completely vanished and
no trace of his whereabouts could be
found. After waiting nearly three
weeks relatives in Avoca found a
will, in which Green bequeathed
valuable property to Miss Rynders.
The will was filed for probate, but
under the circumstances, could not
be probated for period of at least
seven years. The death of Green,
however, eliminates the long wait.
The dead man is supposed to have
been the victim of some form of
mental alteration.

This is our little corner of The

Pulpit in Corner, from which we
shall do a little talking from issue

vertising.
The Citizen is coming into much

advertising columns are well pat

use much care in the Typography of
the advertisements, and We try to
make the advertiser feel that he is
getting well paid for his investment.
There are several things we shall
talk about here in this space. For
instance, we shall tell you WHY a
new and uniform rate will be charg-
ed for advertising in The Citizen be-
ginning with the New Year that is
so close at hand.
Then, too, there is the subject of
the advertiser who can see only ONE

In the meantime, please remember
that The Citizen never grew more
