CIRCUS ATTRACTS
BOY FROM HOME.
Kind Words Changed Course of
Young Mans Life-Now Gone to
Home and Mother.

Lured by the spectacular sights of
the circus, a young man, whose name
we are not permitted to use, follow
ed the Young Buffalo Wild West
from Middletown, n. Y, his home
city, to Honesdale. He is is years
of age and exceptionally bright. The
mother of the young man came to
Honesdale Sunday evening in hopes
of finding her young son. She noti-
fed the authorities and on Monday
morning Detective N. B. Spencer
went to the show grounds at East
Honesdale and inquired for the boss
Snowman. He asked him If he had
secured any help from Middletown
or Port Jervis and he replied that he
had taken on one man. An investi-
CATION followed and the young man,
from the description given by the
mother, was picked out by Detective
Spencer as being the runaway boy.
Sheriff F. G. Kimble was also upon
the grounds at the time and inter-
ceded for Detective Spencer.
The young man, accompanied Mr..
Spencer to Honesdale and the two
went to the boarding house where
the mother was stopping. Here big
hearted Nick gave the young man a
bit of fatherly advice, claiming that
young man who had the bright ca
reer before him that he has ought
to develop his talents. The young
man told Nick that he was an cleo
trician and had done some work
along that line. The big and kind
hearted detective reasoned with the
Middletown youth and succeeded in
getting him to give up the roaming
life and settle down and make a
mark in the world. When last seen
by a detective and a Citizen repre-
sentative, the young man was accom-
panying his mother and little sister
to the show grounds to get his be-
longings and return to his home in
the city.

TELLE SPENDS BIRTHDAY BY
TAKING 2O-NIILE SPIN.
S. II. Tiffany Took Aged Woman
From Her Home in Poyntelle to
Attend Church Services i'm Pleas
ant Mount.

Upon the occasion of her ninety
ninth birthday, Mrs. Nathan Monroe,
of Poyntelle, took her first automo-
bile ride Sunday. She rode a dis
tance of twenty miles, from that
place to Pleasant Mount and return
and attended church services at
Pleasant Mount.
Upon returning from the trip Mrs.
Monroe expressed herself as delight
ed with the ride and assured her
host, S. H. Tiffany, that she will go
for another automobile trip in the
near future.
For the past year or so Mr.. Tif-
fany has been trying to induce Mrs.
Monroe to take ride in his automo-
bile, but up to three months ago she
was steadfast in her refusal to enter
the machine. At that time, however.
she promised to go for ride on
her birthday if weather conditions
would permit. Sunday morning,
bright and early, Mr.. Tiffany had
the automobile at the Monroe home
waiting to take the aged lady for a
ride. Upon her return she said that
she was not at all fatigued and had
enjoyed it immensely.
A family reunion was held at the
Monroe home Sunday in honor of the
birthday of the aged woman. There
were five generations of the family
represented. She was accompanied
to church by her daughter, Mrs. w.
S. Westgate, of Lakewood; her
granddaughter, Mrs. Saltry, of Mid
dletown; her great-granddaughter,
Mrs. A. E. Rimers, of New York, and
her great-great grandson, Alfred e.

also accompanied by her brother,

township, who is eighty-nine years OF
age.

SCHOOL DISTRICT
REPORTS SLOW.
State Appropriation Will be Late
This Year According to Speed of
Officers in Making Reports.

According to all accounts the State
appropriation to the school districts
of Wayne county will be slow this
year and the probabilities are that
Wayne county will be the last to re-
ceive state money for the carrying
on of school work, if the school Of
ficers throughout the county do not
get their reports, affidavits and certi-
fcates in very soon. County Super
intendent of Schools ]. j. Koehler
stated Saturday that the school Off
GERS had been very slow this year
in making their reports as COM
pared to other years. The appropri-
alton is paid to the school districts
in the order in which the reports are
filed at Harrisburg. 1t would be
we'll, said Mr.. Koehler, in speaking
of the school officers, to attend to
this matter Immediately so that the
State appropriation will not be de-
layed, for if the reports do not go in
until September the school money
WI not be received until about De-
cember or the first of next year.
The following school districts have
sent in full reports: Canaan, Da-
mascus, Dyberry, Hawley, Paupack,
Salem, Scott, Texas and Oregon. Sew
eral other districts have sent in par
tial reports.

POSTAL CONFESSION
IN CRISPELL MURDER.

A sensational turn to the Alice
Crispell murder case of July oc-
Cured Friday when William Girls
pell, father of the dead girl received
what purports to be a postal card
confession of the murder of the girl
but which the authorities are inclined
to believe is either hoax or the raw
ings of an unsound mind which has
been following the Harvey Lake
tragedy.
The postal card was dated last
Tuesday and postmarked at New Ro.

Bert is innocent. 1 killed Alice
because of her love for him."

The county authorities have taken
possession of the card and will make
an investigation for fear that there
might be something more than mere
maniacal rawlings behind the dis
patch of the card to the father Of
the dead girl.

HONESDALE TAKES FIRST
OF SERIES FROM HAWLEY

WHICH NETTED LOCALS
ELEVEN RUNS.

Hawley Was Shut Out by Loll's SUI
perb Pitching-Only Two Hits
Made OFF Him-Locals Defeated
Sunday by Score of 8 to 8.
The first game of the series with
Hawley was played at this place on
Saturday and it was so easy for the
local boys to take it away from our
down-the-river friends that it seem
ed a shame. There was nothing to
it at all Ames was led out to face
the heavy artillery" and before
he was led away he had seven hits,
j. McCloskey was the added starter
and we made three more from him.
The locals played a fine game from
start to finish and every man on the
team gave a good account of himself
The work of Mangan and Brade1
was very fast and the fielding and
pitching of Loll was of the class A
type, he allowing only three hits
one very, very "scratchy' one.
How we secured our eleven runs:
In the third Loll went out to Gift
ford, Brader walked and went to sec,
ond when Lilly sacrificed to Ed
wards. Mangan singled, scoring
Brader. Sandy singled and when
Tarkett added another Mangan and
Sandy scored. Weaver drove a safe
one to left, scoring Tarkett. Faat2
went down to Edwards.
In the fourth Hessling flew to Ed
wards. Loll sent an easy one tc
Ames. Brader singled and went tc
third when Murphy missed the throw
to catch Lilly at first. Mangan was
again there with hard single, scor'
ing Brader and Lilly. Sandy drove
double to woods and Mangan scor'
ed. Tarkett famed.
In the fifth Weaver was out on &
drive to Clifford. Faatz made
single. Pop" Hessling
who by the way was out in his
old-time form, singled and wher
Loll sent fast one to Mack, he
threw wild and Buck" scored, fol
lowed by Hessling. Brader agair
walked. With Faatz running fol
Loll double steal was affected ant
when Lilly sent long fly to lef
Buck" again scored and Bradel
came home on the wild throw of Nc
Closkey to Kerrigan. Mangan wa:
hit, stole second. Sandy flew out tt
Dougherty. That ended the scoring
it was enough.
incidentally, that man Dougherty
in left field for Hawley, was in thu
game, having five outs, one of then
pretty catch after a hard run.

Hawley Takes Second Game.

The Honesdale boys went to Haw-
ley Sunday afternoon where they
played the second game of the SER
les. The lineup for Honesdale on
Saturday would have been a good
match for any team in this part of
the State but in the Hawley game
on Sunday positions were changed
and consequently they met defeat.
Hawley took the second game by a
score of 9 to 8. McCloskey pitched
for the Hawleyites while Vetter held
down the mound for the locals. The
batteries were McCloskey and Ker-
rigan, for Hawley and Vetter and
Jacobs for Honesdale. Loll and
Sandercock went in the game in the
last half of the ninth. Neither one
of the pitchers received any support
and the game was very badly played
In the eighth inning McCloskey in
terfered with Brader who was run
ming the base between first and sec
ond and retired the side. McCloskey
was severely spiked but continued in
the game to the finish. The score by
innings follows:
