BELIEF OF John Rleslshk died at his home near Bald Mount In West Scranton, Tuesday afternoon, under mysterious circumstances. The authorities are working on the case and trying to find out whether leslshk died as a result of a brutal assault, which, it is said, was commit ted on him by some unknown Italians, Saturday night. In a saloon conducted by Tony Kaboschnlck, at 906 Keyser avenue, or he died from natural causes. Coroner Stein, who. made an Investigation and examined the body, is inclined to believe that there was no foul play.

There are Indications that the man's death resulted from the brutal beating he received, and a more complete and thorough Investigation Is to be made. Blesishk was In Kaboschnicks' saloon Saturday night, drinklng, and in some manner became engaged in a row with the Italians who were in there. In the melee, it Is said, he' was hit on the head with a heavy beer glass, and the blow rendered him unconscious. Some men who knew Glesishk picked him up and, carrying him out of the saloon, placed him in a wagon and had him taken to his home. When he arrived home it was found that he had a laceration on the right side of the head, from which the blood flowed freely.

This was the wound that had been inflicted with the beer glass. There was also a bruise on the man's chest i I 111 liliLiLSjESlJJ 1 fe' COMM: I I'tverytfiing in LheriJ I 1 Myi1 I EVENING SOCIAL CHAT.

Tlic Insatiable Appetite Must Be Carefully Watched. An attack of typhoid fever usually leaves one with an enormous appetite. The wasted body cries out for food material to repair the loss of body tissues. If care Is not used, the weakened digestive organs may be overwhelmed before they have become strong. There is no food that has the tissue building and energy producing qualities equal to Grape Nuts.

This food is predigested the organs are relieved of the necessity of digesting it; it Is concentrated affording much nourishment with little bulk; contains all the essential food elements for repair and energy. It Is there fore valuable under conditions of health as well as convalescence. A Calif, young lady learned the truth abput Grape Nuts. She writes: "About four years ago I naa a severe attack of typhoid fever. After recovering I had a wild longing for food which nothing seemed to satisfy.

"I tried the best of everything, but was always weak ana hungry, a change to a milder climate did not mend matters food did not agree with me. 'A friend persuaded me to try Grape Nuts. To my great surprise I did not experience that hungry feeing between meals. It was a great relief and I kept on eating it with great benefit. Grape Nuts not only relieved that wild craving for food, but made me stronger in mind and body relieved the old headaches, weakness, strength ened my nerves so that I was easily able to do my work.

have never tired of Grape Nuts as one does of most cereal foods. My friends were so surprised at my improved 1 condition after eating Grape Nuts regularly, that many have benefitted by my experience." Name given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich.

Towanda, Dec, 13. The Jury in the case of Dominic Sharron, charged with the killing of C. Eugene Mesenger, of Athens, has not yet arrived at a verdict, although it Is now five days since Judge Fanning delivered his charge. No other trial ever held In Bradford county ocupled so long a time for the Jury to come to a verdict. Since Monday morning nothing naa been heard or seen of the twelve men.

At that time they asked the court to define what constituted murder of the first degree, and for instructions on what was nieant by a reasonable doubt. A speedy termination of the trial was looked for after the court gave the de sired instructions, but the case today appears as far from settlement as it did when the jury first retired. A doctor was allowed to enter the Jury room this morning. One or the Jurors was taken 111 dur ing thes night and this morning the court granted permission for a physician to attend him.

KSBSKQQIflDEflBBBBHIiBQlBlfiBIQEB II I The man's wounds were dressed by members of his family and, there bo Ing no indicationas that he was seriously hurt, no more attention was paid to the matter until a day or two later. The 'doctor, J.iJ. Brennan, was summoned, but he could do nothing for the man, and he died on Tuesday afternoon.

Coroner Stein wag notified, and yesterday went to the man's house and examined the body. He found that there was a laceration on the head, but In his opinion it was no more than an abrasion and was not sufficient to cause death. He also found a bruise on the chest. The coroner did not per form an autopsy, deeming it unnecessary. The police were also and Lleutnnnt Davis, of the West Scranton precinct, is today making an investigation.

The funeral of the dead man was held this morning, and if the investigation of the police show that there was foul play the body will probably be exhumed. The relatives of the dead mart seem to think little of the foul play theory, They say Blesishk was a quiet, peaceful man. and was not disposed to en gage in a quarrel with any one. They claim to know noining auoiu ine alleged Dr. Brennan says that there was every evidence that the man had been assaulted, and that his death resulted from Injuries he sustained in a fight.
