Choconut- Jeremiah Regan, of Choconut, was married last Saturday, to a widow lady, Mrs. Laura Lown, from Binghamton. Last night a party of 12 or 15 neighbors went to his home to tender the newly wedded couple a serenade--sometimes poetically in polite society referred to as "a horning" using a bell for a chorus. Not being invited in, they were starting away, when some one came out of the Regan house, while the party was on Mr. Donnelly's premises, and fired a shot gun at the party. The charge taking effect in the body of Joseph Maroney, aged about 16 years, seriously injuring him, how badly is not known now. [Another account reads as follows: In the country where young people gather to serenade in an untimely manner a newly married couple the usual procedure is to make merry for a while until the bridegroom appears and asks the party to his home and then the spirit of good will and genial hospitality mingle; the result being a happy evening for all. It is alleged that the party that made the night hideous with a large bell, horns and good lungs were not invited to the Regan home. Perhaps one reason why the noisy serenaders were not thusly favored is that a son of the bridegroom, Frank Regan, was on the first night one of the offenders. It is stated that such was the case. The next night they came again with the bell and horn, and on Wednesday night the third and last visit which terminated in a tragedy and put an end to a silly and foolish custom that antedates history. On Wednesday night Frank Regan, who had before then assisted in the "horning," began to think he ought to stay at home and show some filial affection. When the band of noise makers came and stationed themselves in a field across the road from the Regan house, Frank thought that three nights in succession was more than enough. He took a shotgun and, as alleged, went out in a field across the road...the gun failed to shoot and Regan took the gun in the house to fix it. In the meantime the boys thought that Regan was joking and considered his action a huge bluff. They continued to ring the bell and blow the horns and hurrah for Regan. Young Regan, however, was in no joking humor, for without warning he pulled the gun, which he had fixed and deliberately shot into the crowd wounding Joseph Maroney. Dist. Atty. R. R. Little visited the scene of the tragedy and on Thursday afternoon Frank and William [a brother] Regan were arrested.
