| TermisLE TRAGEDY aT SANDY RivoE. | terment, that being the former home of the
~The viliage of Sandy Ridge was stirred
to its atmost depths on Monday uoon when
the alarm was sounded that 8 murder bad
becv committed almost in the heart of the
village and thas the murderer had escaped,
And consternation rapidly spread into the
wildest indignation when the fact became
kuown that the person murdered was Miss
Jennie Nebliogs, the nivzteen-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thoma: Neh-
hogs; and it took hat a few minutes for
every man and boy io the town, as well as
wany women, to aim themselves with
whatever weapon tiey could secare and
hours the mau was overtaken on the top of
the mountain and either committed
saicide or was shot hy his pursuers. The
facts in the case, gleaned from the most
reliable soarces, are as follows:
About three months ago John Cronin, an
Englishman, arrived at Sandy Ridge and
applied for work iu the fire brick works,
He was given a job and in hunting for
a boarding place went to the home of
Thomas Neblings. The man had a pleas-
ing and genteel appea:ance and was taken
into the Neblings house-hold. In addision
80 Mr. aud Mrs. Neblings the only other
inmate was their daughter Jennie, a re-
markahly pretty an? astractive girl, who
was really the acknowledged belle of the
village. It was only the matter of a few
weeks until Crovin fell madly in love with
the girl and for some time she appeared
pleased with his attentions. Cronin, how-
| ever, was thirty years of age and the girl
| oniy nineteen and shere being other young
met in Sandy Ridge nearer her own age
she eventaally began to tire of Cronin’s
addresses. It is alieged that several times
of late he urged the girl to marry him but
was refused each time,
Saturday night Cronin and Miss Neb-
lings were together aud apparently thee
was no indication of a quarrel between
them. Sunday evening, however, Miss
Nebliogs refused to have anything to do
with Cronin and went out with another
young wan. Monday morning Cronin took
ber to task for her action but she merely
| laughed at him, aod as far as koown they
did not even qaoarrel. About ball past
| eleven o'clock, however, Cronin quit work
[and went to the Nebliugs home, which is
| located across the street from the depot
| and going into the house opened the door to
| go upstairs. Miss Neblings was just com -
og down the stairs and was almost at the
| bowtom when Cronin drew a revolver and
| without a word, #0 far as anyone living
| knows, deliberately sbot her through the
| heart. The body dropped to the foot of
the stairs where it lay in a heap in the
little entry-way. Hearing the shot Mrs.
| Neblings turned to see what bad taken
| place when Cronin shot at her. He evi-
| dently fired two shots at the woman, the
| second of which struck her in the fleshy
| part of the left arm when she ran scream.
| ing into the next room,
| Cronin evidently must have thoughe he
| had at least fatally wounded the mother
| as be took time to ernpty his revolver aud
| veloud it, as three empty shells and two
loaded ones were found on the floor of the
room. He then deliberately walked out
of the house and ap the road to the woods,
when he took to the mountain, in the di-
rection of Tyrone. It was only a few
miyutes after the deed bad beeu commit-
ted when Mrs. Neblings’ cries attracted
the neighbors who ran to the house, only
to be confronted with the evidence of the
awful tragedy. Ao alarm was at once
given and when the inhabitants of the
town learned the particulars there were
many cries of vengeance and bad Cronin
been captured alive the officers would
have had all shey could do to have protect.
ed him from bodily barm.
In order to allow their employees to as-
gist in the search the fire brick works were
closed down and upwards of one hundred
armed men, boys aud women started on
the trail of the murderer, alter telephoning
a brief account of she murder to district
attorney W. G. Ruookle, in thie place, who
informed Sheriff Kline and be left here on
the 1.05 train for Sandy Ridge. In the
aud it was just about two o’clock when he
was overtaken in the woods, two miles from
"Sandy Ridge, by a party of men headed
by constable Mike Hoover.
The latter at once called on Crenin to
halt but instead of doing so he turned and
running backwards began shooting at his
pureners. Constable Hoover then gave the
order to fire and after a brief interchange
of shots Cronin turoed as if to run away,
threw up his right band in which he
held the smoking revolver and fell head-
long to the ground. The posse quickly
reached the place where he lay, bus Cronin
was dead, with a bullet hole in his right
temple. Whether his death wound was
self-inflicted or came from one of the shots
fired by his pursuers will probably never
be known, as there is no sure way of ever
finding out. But even if the latter, the
act was justified by she ciroumstances.
Cronin’s body was taken back to Sandy
Ridge where it was kept until Tuesday
morning when it was taken to Philipsburg
sud turned over to an undertaker to pre-
pare it for burial. So far as known the
wan bad no relatives in this section of the
State, if in the country. He was a gen-
teel looking wan, quiet and industrious,
and had always been well spoken of by
those who koew him, and but for his mad
infatuation of Miss Neblings the tragedy
never would have been enacted.
The funerals of bosh Cronin and his un-
fortunate victim, Miss Neblings, were
held on Wednesday. Cronin’s remains
were buried in Philipsburg while those of
Miss Neblings were taken to Brishin for in-
meantime the posse was hot after Cronin !
Nebling family. Both funerals were large-
Iy attended, that of Miss Neblings especial
ly so.
