Boland Case Against Wilkes Barre and Scranton Coal Co. Produces Something New. TRIED IN LOZERRE CODKTS During the cross examination of J. George Eisele, of this city, treasurer of the defendant company, in the cae of w. B.

Boland against the Wilkes Barre and Scranton Coal and Iron company, quite a sensation was creit ed when the witness showed that not a share of stock of the defendant com pany had been issued. The case Is being tried1 before Judge Ferris, in Wilkes Barre. Eisele was called by the defense and turned over to Mr. Lenahan, counsel for the plain tiff, for cross examination, when in answer to a question, he affirmed that the stock had only been mde out re cently. The company was incorporated in 1902, the capital stock being $75,000 and according to previous declarations ten per cent, of the stock has been paid in and issued.

Mr. Eisele, in his examination in chief, said that money had been pro vided to buy the Beaumont property and that the company was organized and directors elected. He also stated that while he knew of the option of Mr. Boland at the time the company was formed, he learned that the option had expired. The plaintiff secured an order to enforce the defense to produce the stock certificate book, and it showed the stock still intact made out to the respective owners, but the stock was not signed or attested in a single instance.

Lenahan showed witness the stock certificate bjk, and asked whether it was a fact that the stock had only been made out recently, which he admitted. Attorney Lenahan proposes to elaborate further on this phase of the case, probably in rebuttal, and as the defense has several witnesses to be called, It is probable that the hearing will be over before Thursday.

LOST IN THE WILDS OF WILKES BARRE A Sequel of Scranton's Victory Wherein Are Related the Adventures of Some Local Fans. THEY ARE STILL SEARCHING LOST. Strayed or Stolen Clarence Snyder, a rabid fan, from Scranton. When last seen was wandering about the Laurel Line station in Wllkes Barre trying to buy a paper. Wore three button sack, coat, with trousers to match.

For' information that will locate his whereabouts, a reward of 111 will be paid by Manager Nelson Teets. This is the sequel to an interesting story that will eventually be told. So, listen! Manager Nelson Teets, Clarence Snyder and some more of the same tribe who like to look quietly on when there is a baseball game In progress journey ed to Wilkes Barre yesterday. There was a game of ball between the bunch from the Sleepy City by the Sleepy Susquehanna and the Scranton baseball club. Also, there were, many thousand fans looking on.

Also there was much nolso Also, considerable talk. Also, some knocking. All of which Is to bo ex pected in Wllkes Barre.

This Is not a Christian spirit, but then you know, Clarence Snyder and Manager Teets eh, what? When it was all over somebody said that Scranton won.

Clarence Snyder and Manager Teets looked at each other and formed a common resolve. It would not be politic at this time to state exactly what the resolve was. and furthermore, the reporter does not like to divulge secrets. Another thing too, is that the reporter does not know what the resolve was. So this feature will have to be passed by.

Manager Teets and Clarence Snyder and the rest of the bunch that were mentioned with all due respect, followed out their resolve, verily, they followed it. 'Fine game, Nels," says Clarence, "eh, what?" 'Beats blond chorus girl contests by a mile," says Nels. "Did you see Madigan, Old Boy, make home run, Nels, and win the game, eh, what?" Right nobly, too, he did it, Clar ence" says Nels, witn a snaKespoarean accent. "And did he win the game?" says Clarence, hugging his compatriot with zeal, ardor and efficiency, that can come only with long and consistent practice. "Oh, ho, Clarence, we soaked it to em good and proper.

Right royally we soaked 'em Clarence, d'ye mind?" says Nels. 'Aye, sir, that we, did." says Clarence falling into the spirit of fun. "Aye, ilr, right royally is right, Nels. Good stuff, that, Clarence," says Nels, "Eh, what? 50 1 50 Stamps Wednesday $lQO "And now," said Nels," "Lets go home." This speech was eloquently delivered after tho 6:25 had been missed. They stood a good chance of missing tho 6:50.

"She same. Old Pickles, fill 'em up again and then we'll go" said Clarence. Nels stood for it. The 6:50 car was missed. Then they had several more "sames" and then it was too late for tho 7:10 car.

'Let's make sure, captain, and take the 7:25 express," says Nels. "Aye, aye," says Clarence, "lets start pow, to maKe sure. And they started. They ran. And ran.

When the gdt to the station it was several minutes too early for the car. "Lot's get in the car," says Nels. "Aye, aye," says Then, In they went. 'Say, they don't start for several minutes, do they Nels?" says 'No" says Nols. GREEN STAMPS WITH FIRST DOLLAR PURCHASE Children's Rompers, regular 50c.

The motorman made a noise like a whistle and the car made a noise like moving, with Clarence at the switch. Nels and the rest of the bunch waitoij with fatherly concern at the Scranton terminal until wee hours, but Clarence came not. Consumed with fear that possibly they had lost the Scranto fan, or that he had tallen lh with a bunch of sore rooters; in Wllkes Barro.
