TKESH XEWS FROM THE THREE STATES
srroi.ii tex.eiiam to thz dispatch.!
Wilkesbaube, Dec. 29. A terrible
triple tragedy, which is yet involved in con
si Jerablc mystery, took place atBroderict's
Patch, a small mininc village three
miles west ol here, shortly before noon to
day. Martin Curley, a younc married
man, 31 years of age, together with his wife
and four children resided in the heart of
the little village.
This morning Curley told his wife that he
did not feel well and said "he guessed he
would not go to work." He got up at 6,
dressed and after eatiug breakfast went
back to bed. About 10 o'clock Mrs. Curley
left her baby in charge of her 4-year-old
daughter, and went to call on her mother,
Mrs. Shields, nho lives a few doors further
up the street. Mrs. Curley told her mother
that her husband was not at work and that
she guessed she would do the family wash
ing. Mrs. Curleys Cry of Slurder.
The two women then returned to the Cur
ley home. M rs. Shields returned to her own
home shortly afterward to get some soap.
As she was leaving her daughter's house
tue saw a Hun-rattan named John Tralla enter
tlie barroom. Five minutes later Mrs. Shields,
who was on tier was back with soap, heard a
pistol shot in the barroom.
The next minute Mrs. Curley ran out of the
house, and when she cot to the stoop she cried
"murder:" As she did so she received a shot
back of the head and fell heavily on the stoop.
The neighbors now rushed into the bar
room. In the meantime two more shots
ere bred. When the neighbors entered
the barroom they found the husband
lyins in a pool of blood, lie had been shot in
the Inrebead, the ball entering bis head just
orer the left eye. A revolver with three balls
in it was found on his breast. Three feet away
from Curley lay another Hungarian named
Mike Haddock. He was shot behind the ear,
and the blood was flowing from the wound in a
large stream.
All Three Soon Died.
The neighbors picked up the wounded and
carried them to an adjoining room. Several
tilnsicians were summoned. Mrs. Curley lived
an hour after the shooting and then died in
irri-at agony. The husband lived about an hour
lu;er. lie was unconscious all the time and
could make no statement. Haddock was dead
uhenluund. The lirtt man to enter tho place
fjjs lie aw Tralla, a Hungarian, leave by nay
of the back door. His light overcoat was
Mamcd ith blood. It is also believed he was
wounded, as blood was found in his tracks for
some distance.
The first supposition was that Curley had
killed Ins wife inu the Hungarian Haddock,
attempted to shoot Tralla and the killed him
self. Later, however, circumstances make it
appear that Tralla was in all nrobabihty the
murderer, and that to hide his crime he placed
the revolver on Curlej's breast. As soon as
this fact became known a large posse started
in pursuit of Tralla. It is believed he took a
train at Wyoming for the West. Another
theory is that he is bidiuin the mountains.
Ilnnting for the Hungarian.
A large crowd of men and boys are now
scouring the neighborhood for him. The only
living witness to the crime is the little 4-year-old
daughter of the murdered parents and she
cangue no intelligible version of the affair.
She was in an adjoining room rocking the baby
to sleep. The girl did not come out at once.
All she kuows abuut the affair is that "a man
hit papa and mamma and they fell."
If Tralla is the murderer his motive is un
known. He was indebted to Curley some 70.
He renttd a house from Curley, but about
four months ago left without clviug notice.
Since then he has not been seen about the
neighborhood. On Christmas Day he returned
to spend the holidays with friends.
KNOCKED DOWN AND EOBEED.

Tho Fishing Creek Lumber Company Makes
an Alignment.
rsrEcmi. teleouah to tub dispatcb.1
Lancaster, Dec 29. The Fishing Creek
Lumber Company, one of the largest concerns
in the State, has made an assignment to Will
iam B. Given for the benefit of their creditors.
The company was chartered a year ago with an
authorized capital of $175,000. and a paid up
capital stock of 5100,000. This money was ex
pended in building a mill, bouses, dams, roads,
cabins, etc The operating expenses of tho
company were very heavy, and owing to tue
prevailing tightness in the money market it was
found impossible to realize the cash necessary.
Under the circumstances it was thought best to
protect all interests by making an assignment.
The officers claim that the assets are largely in
excess of the liabilities, and that thev will be
able to make a satisfactory arrangement and
resume business at an early day.

"RUNNING AfiAl5ifTlMEj
You can run against
time and keep pace with
him, but not for long.
The old traveler has en
dured enough to win in
the end, but, if you can't
keep up with the Time,
you can at least keep up
with the times. You be
gin to lag behind not only
when you lose sight of
the new styles which are
continually being intro
duced, but when you look
for new styles in the
wrong places. If you
want to be properly
equipped for 1891 begin
the year well by making
a selection from the splen
did' stock of
JACKSON'S
Home-Made Overcoats.
The price of our $20
Overcoat is now $15.
Our regular $15 Over
coat is now marked down
to $10, and our $12 Over
coat to $8.

ANNUAL
STOCKTAKINGS
Are the most important events in tbe
year to merchants. At this time most
of the blunders of the year come to
light. Overbuying, buying the wrong
stiles, buying tbe wrong assortment of
sizes and a thousand other mistakes
confront tbe merchant. What is he go
ing to do about it? Cry over spilled
milk? Not much. Some one has wittily
said: "Tbero is no use crying over
spilled milk, for there is generally more
than enough water in it without the
tears."

DULL SEASON MADE BUSY
BY MATCHLESS VALUES
GUSKY'S.
We've been trying all this year to see how much business it was
possible to crowd into the space of one short year, and we mean to keep
it up to the last moment of its now limited life. Only three more days to
do what we can with 1890. But no grass will grow under our feet
WE MEAN TO HUSTLE
During these three days in every department Those who visit us oa
Ionday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week will find themselves well
paid iot their trouble. It seems almost like putting a premium on the
habit of deferring the buying of what isneeded in our line until the mas
have bought, to offer goods at some of the prices we have made. But
The Goods Must 60.
IN MEfULOTHING
We shall offer unusual opportunities, and the man who buys a new suit
or overcoat outside our store at the present time simply wastes the
difference in the price we ask and what he will pay elsewhere. The stock
is still large, the chance for choice not at all limited, the styles are per
fect, the make good and we know the prices cannot be approached.
We'll save you as much money in Clothing for your children as in
apparel for yourselves. In season or out of season, you'll not find
another such a stock of Boys' Clothing as at the popular clothing de
partment on our second floor. If you've a boy from 4 years old to 19
bring him here and save your dollars.
Money saved in Shoes, from a patent leather dress shoe to a miner's
heavy boot Here, as elsewhere, we are going to clean up the broken
sizes and odd lots, and shall offer you some splendid values.
Id Eats ii Fiisip
There are other choice bargains awaiting you. In fine underwear, in
certain sizes, prices have been cut in two. In Gloves and Neckwear
great reductions also.
Few Fancy Goods left, but what are still here are all at and below the
cost line, chiefly below, to our loss. A fine chance for bela'ted buyers to
pick up a present
