"ABE" MUSSER AGAIN In the County Jill Charged With Attempt ing to Barglarite the Home of a Ger man Farmer Wear Xoyeredale. A STRONG CASZ AGAINST HIil "Abe" Musser was lodged in jail yes terday morning charged with having at- tempted to commit a robbery at the bouse of William Debakau, whose home is about four miles west of Meyersdale in the mountains of Summit township. This robbery was reported in last week's Herald. In the report it was stated that Mr. Debakau had assaulted the would-be-robbers with an ax. De- bakau's story of the robbery is as follows: A bout one o'clock Monday morning Mrs. Debakau was aroused from her slumbers and upon opening her eyes saw a man sitting in the window of the bed room She aroused her husband who sprang out j of bed and seized a double-bitted ax Armed with tbe ax he advauced to the door of his dwelling and had no sooner turned the lock than a burglar pushed bis way into tbe house and snapped a re volver in his face. The revolver failed to explode and Debakau struck the hand tbat held the revolver with his ax. Tbe burglar dropped the revolver on the floor. About this time a second burglar pushed into tbe house and was struck on tbe bead with tbeax in the hands of Deba kau. The robbers discovered that it was an unequal battle and both retreated from tbe bouse, but not until after one had torn the mask which he wore for a disguise from bis face. Mrs Debakau had lighted a small miner's lamp and held it in the room and by its faint flitter ing glare Mr. uooakau was able to get a full view of the countenance of tbe first burglar. When the robbers fled from the house Debakau followed them but was unable to overtake them. Returning to tho scone of the encounter Mr. Deba kau found that the floor oi the front porch and tbe kitchen, where the strug gle had taken place, were smeared with blood. Later in the day Debakau told tbe story of the attempted robbery to several of bis neighbors. Monday morning "Abe" Musser went to Dr. O. G. Getty, of Meyersdale, to have a gash about three inches long on tbe back of his left, hand sewed np. He told the Dr. that he cut his band with an ax while working in Benjamin Thomas' coal mine. Tbe Dr. sewed up the wound and thought no more about it ; but other parties who learned of Musser's visit to the physician at once suspected him of lieing one of the Debakau robbers Mus ser's "butty," or fellow workman in the mine said that "Abe" bad not cut him self while at work, and an investigation of the room in which they worked failed to show any trace of blood. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Debakau went before Justice Cook, of Meyersdale, and made an information against Musser and one George Newman, charging them with attempted robbery. A warrant was placed in the hands of Policeman Thom as Swindell, who went to Musser's house and placed him under arrest. Newman was arrested at his home. The two pris oners were brought before tbe Justice and given a hearing. Mr. Debakau testi fied tbat be bad struck one of tbe robliers on the left band with an ax, but failed to identify Musser on account ol the stoop ed position of the prisoner. Tbe prison ers were both discharged. Latei in the afternoon when Delwikau saw Musser walking in an upright attitude on the street he identified him positively as the man he had struck on the left hand with an ax. Monday morning Policeman Swindell again placed Musser under ar rest. Tbe prisoner was given a re-bearing before Justice Cook, when Mr. De bakau positively identified him as one of the robliers. Dr. Getty testified to hav- ng sewed up a wouud on Musser's hand tbe previous Monday that looked as though it bad been made with an ax; and Musser's fellow workman testified that the prisoner could not have inflicted tbe wound upon his band while at work in the mine without his knowledge. On these statements tbe Justice committed Musser to jail for trial. Debakau has the reputation of lieing provident. He is a miner as well as far mer, anc" only a few days before the at tempted robbery sold two cows He was also supiiosed to have bis last month's wages in his house, in addition to the money he had accumulated from many years of hard lalior. No trace has been found of the robber who was cut in the bead, but officers are keeping a sharp watch for him. Fifteen years ago the name of "Ale" Musser was known from one end of Som erset county to the other. He was tbe recognized leader of a band of highway men and robbers wbo terrorized tbe peo ple in all sections One night they rob bed a store in Somerset, and the next found them holding up a farmer in Ad dison township. At least twenty bur glaries and highway robberies were at tributed to Musser's gang, until finally three memliers of the band were roundod up for tbe robbery of Liston's store and other parties in Addison township. Mus ser was given a ten years' sentence in the penitentiary and was released from that nstitution alxmt three years ago. Since bis release from prison be bas been strongly suspected of a number of crimes Musser is a native of Stonycreek town ship. He drifted to the west when a young man and after spending a numlier of years in tbat country, where it is al leged he be-tame a member of a gang of robbers, he returned to Somerset county, prepared to break a safe or rob a dwell ing with tbe skill and daring of a pro fessional cracksman. A Fanper's Funeral. A poor woman, a charge on Westmore land County, died in this place one day last week, says tbe Indiana Messenger. A local undertaker offered to have the body recently interred for SQ, but that was too much money for the Westmore land authorities to expend on a pauper, and they sent their own undertaker over. He arrived on the 7:23 p. m. train and hurried to tbe bouse where the body lay. He hail with him a cheap pine coffin, int3 which he hastily tumbled the corpse. When asked to leave . the body at tbe house where be found it till morning, in order tbat the children of the deceased might look on tbe face of their mother onca more, be declined, aud had the coffin taken to a livery stable, whore it remained until morning, when he had it taken to the station for the tkii train . His entire conduct aud speech were brutal in the extreme, though he said he was giving the dead Wuinan a better funeral than tbe average.' Sigae of a Sc -ere Winter. Philadelphia Inquirer.

One morning recently the good people of this vicinity were aroused from their slumbers by the noise of fire arms In fact tbe insurgent army in Cuba would have surrendered to Captain Geueral Weyler had they heard the great din kicked up by a party of hunters from Johnstown, who bad treed a venerable coon. It appears that a party of eight hunters from tbat city treed Mr. Coon at au early hour in the evening and after firing volley after volley into his hide until it was estimated that not less than one pound of lead was lodged in bis body they decided that he could not be killed by bullets and the best thing to be done was to cut tne tree on wuicn be was perched down.

Bemarkabla Time Hade By A FitUbnrg ft Lake Erie Flyer. During the late exciting political cam paigu a little thing like a fast run by a special train was of too little importance to attract much attention but since things in general have assumed their regular course much talk has been indulged in re garding a special run arranged by the Pittsburg aud Rake Erie Railroad people. Tbe occasion was that of the trip of the famous Americus club of Pittsburg from that city to Cleveland and return, on Oc tober IJSth. The Americus club is most ly composed of active business and pro fessional men of Pittslmrg, who, while they are always ready aud anxious to help their party cause by their presence at any of the large republican demonstra tions, they nevertheless require some of their time to devote to their owu business affairs, so, when they were invited to go up to Cleveland the question arose as to how late they cold start and how soon re turn. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie peo ple, with their usual enterprise came to tbe frout with an offer to undertake tbe task of giving them a Hying trip and they proved their ability to do so handsomely. This distance of l-'lo miles was covered in the remarkable ttine of 14!) minutes Tbe train was made up of an engine and five cars and during the run made five slow ups am1 a dead stop of four minutes at Youngstown. A remark able feature of tbe run was tbat one mile was made at the rate of (W miles per hour and 21 miles Beaver Falls to Edenburgj j at tbe rate of 00 miles'per hour, lor quick time, first-class service and general comfort en route, tbe ever popular Pitts burg and Ijike Erie is, to use the verna- cular of the street gamin, strictly in it The State Board of Game Keepers Under tbe act creating a public game commission Governor Hastings on Tues day, made his apiointments as folleus: ex-Mayor William M. Kennedy, of Al legheny city, as president. Other mem bers are Coleman K. Sober, Lewisburg; E. B. Westfall, Williamsjiort; James 11. Worden, Harrisburg; Major Irving A. Stearns Wilkeslarre; and Charles Heeb- ner, Philadelphia. The commission of i)ia fitsit f iv n run fur three veiirs. the sec- t ond two for two years and the others for one year each. At the expiration of one year the entire board will lie reappointed for a term of three years The board is empowered to appoint game protectors and a chief game protector, who shall lie secretary of tbe lioard and have bis resi dence in Harrisburg. The game protect ors get one-half of all fines and penalties for the use of the board, but are allowed no compensation for services orexpenses News Items A $!0,0ii0 monument to soldiers and sailors will lie erected by the York County Commissioners A piece of wood which Samuel McCue, of N ew York, threw at a dog, rebouuded and destroyed one of bis own eyes Daniel Nicely, of Ligonier, Pa., a broth er of the Nicely boys wbo were hanged at Somerset, was killed by a train in In dians Patrick Cronin, aged twenty-nine, a prisoner In the western penitentiary, made a desperate effort Thursday morn ing while en route from Erie to Pittsburg to escape from a fast moving train. His unsuccesful attempt cost the life of Tlrns. McCrea, warden of tho Erie county Jail, wbo leaped from the car after him. Congressman-elect Josiah D. Hicks, of Altoona, was iu Harrisburg Monday on business with tho adjutant general's de partment. He bas not yet ceased to re joice over bis election, says the Patriot, which he regards as a vindication of tbe part taken by State Treasurer 1 1 ay wood and Deputy Attorney General Elkin to secure him the nomination. Mr. Hicks is quietly laying plans for an aggressive canvass two years hence for the Republi can nomination for governor. Rev. C. C. Miller, pastor of the Belle- fonte V. B. church, recently escorted two young women to call on a neighboring family. Tho trio started home at 10 o'clock across a field, and when about half way over were attacked by a mad mlL Rev. Mr. Miller very bravely went for tbe animal with clubs and stones until tbe women iscjiped, aud then bad to save himself by climbing a tree. The enraged animal butted the tree bard and iften, and it was only with the utmost difficulty that Rev. Mr. Miller could re tain bis bold until help could arrive, at tracted by his loud cries. Finally the owner came, but he was di iven away by the bull, and it was only after the animal had lieen driven out of the field with dogs that the preacher could be liberated, and then after he had been in the tree more tbarr an lionr.
