SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
Roy Shoots a Load of Birdsltot Into
Face of Syrian Peadler, Near
Newiuausville.
Michael Ellios, a native of Syria, ped
dling notions, was seriously wounded
near Newmansville, Clarion county,
Monday morning between eight aud nine
o'olock, by being shot In tbe face and
bead with a charge of birdshot, Tbe
particulars as near as can be gathered at
present are these: Ellios came to the
home of Moses Mealy, whoso farm Is lo
cated about three quarters of a mile from
Newmansville, noar tbe road leading to
Gollnza, and arrauged to stay there over
Sunday. Monday morning shortly after
breakfast Mr, Meaiy's son, Frank, aged
16 or 17 years, left tbe house with his
shutgnn to go hunting, as be said. In a
few minutes afterwards the peddlor also
loft, carrying hU pack containing his
wares. When some distance from the
house and passing out the r ad, which at
that place sk irts a piece of woods, he re
ceived the charge ot shot full in tbe face,
young Mealy claiming that be bad shot at
a pheasant and did not see Ellios at tbe
time. Tbe unfortunate victim, badly
blinded by the shot, left bis packages and
made bis way across tbe fields toward
Newmansville, coming to the home of
Elmer Walters, who lives within a few
rods of tbe postoffice. The man was ad
mitted, and Mr. Walters telephoned for
Dr. O'Dell of Tylersburg, who arrived
shortly after and gave the man tempo
rary relief and sent him to Tionesta,
where Dr. Dunn dressed his wounds and
took him on tbe evening train to the Oil
City hospital.
Dr. Dunn found that 22 pellets had en
tered tbe man's face below the hair, aud
nine were Imbedded in the scalp, besides
a number in the neck snd right shoulder.
He was able to extract but one of the shot
which was apparently a No. 6 siza. The
left eye is badly injured, and although he
could see out of it, the pbysiciau was In
doubt about the probability of saving tbe
sight of that eyo. Tbe right eye was also
injured but not so seriously. The face
was badly swollen, tbe shot having pene
trated t tbe bones apparently, and tbe
man suffered excruciatingly.
Ellios is aged about 25 years and speaks
very little English, having, as he says,
been In this country but little over a year.
He bas been in tbe employ of Essad
Brothers t Co., 458 W. Federal street,
Youngstown, Ohio, wbo bave been notl
fled of tbe unfortunate occurrence.
Justice M. C. Willings of Llckingville,
being notified of tbe shooting, went to the
scene Monday, and witb others made r.n
investigation of tbe circumstances, and
in tbe evening tbe young man appeared
before the Justice and gave himself up.
Tuesday morning Justice Willings sent
him to Clarion to be placed in the custody
of the Sheriff to await a further investi
gation by the District Attorney, there be
ing no formal charge lodged against bim.
lie has been committed to jail.
To an Interpreter at Oil City Ellios said
be bad bad no quarrel ot any kind with
the boy and they parted, he supposed, as
good friends. When the shot was fired
tbe two were about 18 yards or steps,
apart. Dr. Siggins Is attending the in
jured man at the hospital aud says he will
recover if blood poison can be averted,
but that the sight of tbe left eye may be
destroyed.

Tomorrow Leonard Agnew and family

fare of the town that it seems almost im
possible to spare them from our com

Agnew first moved to Tionesta, and with
tbe exception of a few years spent In Erie
and Warren counties he has resded in
Tionesta. In that time he bas bad much
to do witb tbe upbuilding or tbe place
