The building is a frame structure and stands sext to the Pres- byterian church. The flwh was a heavy one and struck the flue on the west side of the building, after reaching the roof the current separated and fol- lowed the edge of the roof on both sides ripped off about eight feet of slate roof and set fire to the rafters. After reaching the spoutiog it ran around the house and entered the cistern without doing any further damage, The heavy rain and sssistance of neighbors soon extinguished the burning roof which was slightly damaged by fire. The same day Philip Aumaa’s barn about three miles west of Spring Mills was struck by lightning slightly shattering the frame work. “ ——] —— Signed or Vetoed. » Harsisnvne, June 17,~The governor acted on the last of the bills in his pos- session to-ddy, vetoing a number of ap- propriation bills.

The noise of the shooting attracted the attention of Mrs. Auker in the cellar, and suspecting the cause she hastened up stairs and. secured her hus- band's revolver afterwards carrying it i to him in the field where he was work. ing all unconscious of the dastardly work being perpetrated at the house, Mr. Avker immediately started for the house but finding that his revolver wes unloaded he stopped down stairs for his gun and just as he emerged from the house the largest of the three robbers, who by this time had been deserted by his companions, stepped out on the porch. Words ensued when Mr, Auker quickly raised his gun and fired, but missed the ball lodging in the side of the house. The robber thereupon immedi ately raised his weapon and at a dis- tance of eight feet fired striking Auker in the left breast one inch above the heart, Unconscous of being wounded Auker threw aside his gun and grap- pled with his assailant, from whom he succeeded in wrenching the revolver after a most desperate resistance Then quickly raising the revolver, Auker again fired this time with more deadly effect, as the ball struck the robber in or immediately below the left eye. Both men had now become #0 exhausted from the loss of blood that they fell to the ground, Anker meantime crying out to his wife : “My God! lam shot! I must die! The wounded robber, after lying a few min. utes, got up and returning to the house for his hat walked to where his victim was lying on the ground, and gently patting him on the shoulder, tragically exclaimed : “Yes you must die, snd | must die, 100." He then staggered down the 10ad and disappeared among the hills, His two companions in crime, having beat a hasty retreat from the bloody scene, moved towards the river in an opposite diredtion, one having Iater been discoved crossing the stream in the direction of Meadow Gap. Dr. D+ P. Miller, of Huntingdon a p- peared on the scene soon after the shooting. Auker was lying on a bed in 8 back rootn, surrounded by his young wife, other members of the family and a large number of sympathizing neigh- bors.
