Dougherty was escorting two lady friends home and when they arrived directly In front of the old Con nell store on Birney avenue' a man stepped out in front of the three and demanded that Dougherty throw up his hands. While the one engaged Dougherty from the front another came up from the rear thinking to catch him unaware. Instead of complying to the demand, Dougherty attempted to hit the thug In. front of him and falling fell to the ground. Both of the men a' advantage of Dougherty's misfortune by jumping in him.

Their attempts to rifle his pockets were desperately resisted. Taking advantage of the fray the two women companions screamed for help. Fearing the cries had attracted attention, the thugs let go of their hold on Mr. Dougherty and disappeared in the darkness, Mr. Dougherty while saving his roll of bills from being confiscated by the men, did not escape altogether free, being badly cut up about the face and having his clothes torn.

Wellknown Forest City Man Expired in a Delivery Wagon. William Michaels, a resident of Forest City, was found dead Friday afternoon in a delivery wagon at the rear of Heeler's store on Main Btreet.

Michaels had been seen half an hour before in another part of the town in apparently his usual health, so his death was not due to exposure. He had not been in the best of health for some months. Heart trouble was probably the cause of death. The deceased was about thirty five years of age and unmarried. He was born at South Gibson.

His survivors are two sisters, Mrs. D. B. Gibson and Miss Viola Michaels, of Uniondale; John Michaels, of Scranton, and Geo. Michaels, of Forest City.

MILLER 'AND VAIL WAIVE HEARINGS Crowds Who Expected Startling Testimony in Diamond Robbery Case Disappointed Miller in Jail. B. W. Miller, who confessed to stealing the diamonds from Vail's Jewelry store, and R. M.

Vail, who is Implicated by a confession made by Miller to County Detective Rafter, waived a hearing'' Saturday before Alderman Ruddy for appearance in court. Expecting to hear the story of the case, the alderman's office was besieged by a crowd of curious people. Conspicuous among the crowd were local sleuths. One and all were greatly disappointed when the principals waived a hearing. Vail made a renewal of the bail furnished by him Monday, and Miller, unfortunate as before, was returned to the county Jail.

Attorneys C. P. O'Malley and Ralph Levy represented Vail, and former Judge A. A. Vosburg represented Miller.

A new counsel made his appearance in the case. He was Attorney M. J. Martin, representing the interests of Rosenbaum Co. "Whom do you represent, Mr.

Martin?" asked Mr. O'Malley. "I represent the prosecution," replied the attorney. Mr. O'Malley then requested to see the information In the case.

Seeing that the prosecutor was County Detective Rlafter, he turned and asked Mi Rafter who represented him. The county detective made the reply that the assistant district attorney represented the commonwealth. Pointing at Attorney Martin, Detective William the Plnkerton sleuth, said: "That man does not represent me." Later In the day It was learned that Attorney Martin's meaning of "the prosecutor" was Rosenbaum the firm owning the diamonds. The case will go before the grand Jury Monday.
