Imprisonment on the SANDER charge
was merely Slavinac's method dun
ming him for a settlement.
Only a few days ago Kukolic was
locked up in the Dauphin county pris-
on because he couldn't produce $1,000
bail for his appearance in answer to
an action for slander. Slavinac ac-
cused him of saying some mighty de-
rogatory things of his character. In
asking for his release, however ku-
kolic says that not only is he not
guilty of slander but that he hasn
been around Slavinac for two months,
that the accusation is merely subter-
fuge to persuade him to hustle pay
ment of his bill; that his health is
poor: that he mas a family to support,
and the method used by Slavinac has
been frequently employed before by
him as the court records will show.
In releasing Kukolic, Additional Law
Judge McCarrell said there was ap-
parently no reason for kukolic's ar
rest.

Albany Opens Five-Game
Series With Harrisburg

Five games with Albany in three
days is the schedule for Harrisburg
for home stay. The first two start at
2 o'clock this afternoon with three
more for the next two days.
Pitching selections were not an
nounced in advance for the games to-
day. Wiltse proved his anxiety to
keep up in the race by going on the
mound yesterday for a short time
against Elmira. The Albany boys
carried the game along IL innings and
then sent across the winning run. Sy-
racuse banked Wilkes Barre to 0,
and Jupiter Pluvius kept the Scran-
ton Utica teams off the field.
Downey, a new player on the Har-
risburg team, will make his first ap-
pearance in a Harrisburg uniform in
the series with Albany. Charles is ex-
pected here to-day. BY winning the
entire series the local team will cut
down the lead Albany has on seventh
place. Manager Wiltse is working
for sixth place, and Manager Cockill
is also planning to leave the cellar,
so that some fast games are expected
by local fans.

A PART OF STOLEN
PROPERTY RETURNED
|Beievea That Some Older Person is
Mixed up in Gardner Hardware
Store Robbery.

The four boys who broke into the
rear of the C. F. Gardner store Sun
day night, stealing $14.50 from the
cash register, together with a lot of
fash lights and pocket knives and
other cutlery, today returned the
amount of money and much of the
stolen property, promising to return
all of the latter very soon. The
money returned was not in the same
denomination as that stolen, and
some think that an older head than
the lads helped to plan the thievery
and received the stolen goods. The
stolen money consisted of a SIS bill,
several bills of smaller denomination
and some change. The returned
money was $40 bill, 3 silver dollars
and half dollars.
If some older person is engaged in
such nefarious work no effort should
be withheld in ferreting out the gull
ty one. At least two mothers of the
boys implicated in the unfortunate
affair have expressed the desire
that their sons be sent to the reform
school, stating that they have them
selves lost control Of the lads. 1t is
probable that the affair will be taken
up at thesnext term of court and
some disposition made of the boys.
