SALE COMMISSION
Court of Appeals Rules Realty
AGENT Had No Hand in Sale
of Evans Property.

The District Court of Appeals today re-
versed the judgment of the District Su-
preme Court, which had awarded a COM
mission to Robert c. Shinn, a real estate
agent. on the sale of a square of ground at
Sth and Water streets southwest owned
by John o. Evans and A. Ward Evans
Justice Van Orsdel who delivered the
opinion Of the court finds that Mr. Shinn
neither made the sale nor was the pro-
curing cause of the sale and is therefore
not entitled to commission, even if the
man with whom the agent was negotiat-
ing became the purchaser on the solfcita-
ton of another agent.
ITO sustain the contention of plaintiff
would make it hazardous for the owner
of property says the court Ito place 1t
in the hands of more than one agent. 1t
would open the door to the most vicious
collision and fraud An owner easily
might be placed in a position where he
could be compelled to pay double or treble
commissions. Viewing the evidence in
the most favorable light, plaintiff cannot
recover. for he neither made the sale nor
was the procuring cause of the sale.
One of Two Must Appear.
"One of these elements must clearly
appear before an agent can recover a
commission when he is working in open
competition with other agents
The undisputed evidence. it is pointed
out. discloses that defendants did not
know at the time the contract was signed
that Gadsby the agent closing the deaD
knew nothing of plaintins negotiations
until after the sale was made; that
Gadsby was an agent of defendants on
equal footing with Shinn and that Shinn
never conducted the negotiations upon
the terms of the sale MADE b: Gadsby.

MILFORD WINS BALL GAME.

ing Home After Game.
1t was almost as difficult for some
of the Honesdale base ball players
to reach home" after the game at
Milford was over last Thursday af-
ternoon as it was to reach "home"
during the game. AS a result Mil
ford defeated the locals by a score
of 4 to 8. The game was a good
exhibition. Milford played the illus
trious Steel in the box and held our
players down to four hits and only
three runs. Loll and Vetter took
turns in the box for Honesdale.
Several autos were necessary to
take the players to Milford and the
journey there was made in good
time.
Coming back the party left Mil
ford about ten o'clock and should
have reached home some time
around twelve o'clock. w. B. Lesh-
er and his party came in on schedule
time. The others were not so for
tunate. One car came in at four Fri
day morning. Another at eight and
finally along in the afternoon the
last of the players reached Homes
dale after having lost their way in
the dense fog which lowered over
the route. The last car took the
wrong road after leaving Milford and
went within few miles of Delaware

UNION METHODIST PICNIC.
Sunday Schools Representing Homes
dale, Waymart and Prompton,
Enjoy Outing on Friday.

ENJOY OuU1uS on ffluay.
A union Sabbath school basket
picnic, which consisted of the pupils
of the Honesdale Central Methodist
Episcopal church, the Waymart and
Prompton churches of the same de-
nomination, assembled at the beauti-
full glen along the Lackawaxen river
and near the site of the historic
Gravity Delaware and Hudson rail-
road.
The day was ideal. Old and
young enjoyed in praise and pleas
ure. Over 800 gathered at this
beautiful spot. The devotional ex-
ercises and praise service portrayed
a picturesque sight. The BERN bank
of the race-way served as an amphi-
theatre for several people, while 9TH
ers were seated on the grounds.
Boys had climbed up the trees
that spread out over the LackawaXen
and as a whole it made a beautiful
picture.
The glen is located at a short dis
tance north of the thriving village
of Prompton and on one of the his
torical spots of Wayne county. The
old raceway lies on the western side
of the glen. 1t was built in 1929 by
the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company to convey water from the
LackawaXen river to propel water
wheel that was used to furnish pow
er to haul empty gravity coal cars up
an inclined plane. This method was
changed in years afterwards by in
stalling stationary steam engines at
the head of all planes on the road.
The raceway and bank is very pretty.
The bank, which is wide enough to
drive a team or automobile upon, is
bordered on either side with trees
that form an archway that appeals
to the heart of every lover of Ma
ture. The masonry of the dam is
still in good condition and reflects
the work of an artisan.
The Prompton church and Sunday
school is in a prosperous condition.
The church is free from debt and
has money in its treasury. Rev.
Will H. Hitler, pastor of the Homes
dale Methodist church, breaches
every other Sunday at Prompton
and the congregation is fast increas-
ing in membership under his spirit
ual guidance. While in conversation
with some of it's members they say
they .are perfectly satisfied without
changing charges; that it is no
trouble to raise money and that all
contributions are free-will offerings.
The Prompton people are hustlers
and that thriving village fully dem
onstrates this statement.
The people of Prompton are very
proud of their new Delaware and
Hudson station, which was recently
opened to the public and filled a
longfelt want in the village. 1t is
neat, cosy and modern throughout.
The travelling public truly appreciates
the new station.
Prompton has also a new industry
in the form of cut glass establish
ment. 1t is located on the site of
the old furniture factory opposite
the Pentecost home. The company
is known as the Penn Cut Glass
company. The management will
open the building to the public on
August Is. Heumann's three-piece
orchestra of Hopesdale will furnish
music for the occasion. Business is
booming in Pr5mpton. 1t is a hos
pitable town . spend your vacation.

FISHERMEN MAY
HAVE BEEN BURNED.
Barn Mysteriously Burned at Scott
Friday Night-Men Seen in the
Building by Francis G. Led
uaYsd

y
A large barn belonging to Francis
c. Ledyard, who lives in Scott town
ship near Hancock, was burned last
Friday night and possibly consumed
two men. The cause is not known.
The building caught fire about
l o'clock Friday morning.
Suspicion, however, rests on the
fact that when Mr.. Ledyard came
home about 8 o'clock in the evening
he discovered two men lying in the
barn. He spoke to them and they
claimed that they were fishermen and
that they had lost their way. Mr..
Ledyard left the barn and about 1
o'clock he was awakened by the odor
of smoke. Looking out he discov-
cred his barn was in flames. Moth
ing was saved.
Efforts have been made to locate
the men but without results. 1t is
supposed that the men may have
lighted matches and caused the fire.
AS no trace can be found of the men
it is also presumed that the men
may have perished in the flames.
