J PERRY ROBBERS STILL AT LARGE Men Who Shot Italian Farmer Near Marysville Friday Got Little Money Marysville, Pa., Sept. 10. —Journey two miles from Marysville on the "new" road towards Olenvale and you will encounter a rough, deeply rutted roadway leading into the mountains. Follow this road with trees and brush growing on -both sides and brushing you in the face as you pass tor another half-mile and you will come to a clearing of probably eight acres. First you will come to a field of late corn, luxur ious in its growth, and then you will see a large garden glorious in the abundance of crops that it is pro ducing. Fruit trees with peaches pre dominating, hanging with fast-rip ening fruit, greet your eyes. This is the farm of the Fundine brothers—the farm whose llttlo one room cabin two robbers entered, dazzled by the stories of money kept there; the farm, one of whose own ers, John Fundine, (Glovannio Fan tino in the land from which he comes across the waters), was shot early Friday evening when he refused to show the burglars wherehe kept his money. And this is the farm to which John and Joe expect to live to bring their little wives and chil dren from Sunny Italy at the con clusion of the war. At least they did expect to bring them, but their plans may be changed. Across the waters John has a wife and Joe has a wife and three chil dren. And these two men, strangers in a strange country, are working hard here in America to make a home for those they love so well.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1917, promptly at 6 o'clock on the Penn sylvania railroad as a night track walker. John works hard all day on the little acres of the farm. On re turning in the morning and after eating the breakfast John had pre pared for him, It has been the custom this summer for Joe to help his brother work in the fields. The brothers have two horses to aid them In tilling the acres on the summit of the ridge. Several pigs are seen in their styes and everything about bespeaks thrift. The two men live in a one-room cabin. Two little cots are found at opposite sides of one end of the room and a stove in the other furnishes the double purpose of furnishing warmth and heat for cooking purposes. A large dog, of doubtful pedigree, lies at the doorstep and playfully jumps at you as you approach. Four kit tens play about in the house, and this is where Joe and John Fundine, about 4 2 and 40 years, respectively, live and work. This is the place and these are the defenseless men whom two Ameri cans—they were Americans for their talk was easily distinguishable— sought to rob on Friday evening. They apparently knew the customs of the brothers well, for they timed their visit so that they would en counter but one of them at home. Public sympathy has been aroused for these men, sympathy that is de manding that Rye township and county authorities make some effort to trace-the assailants of John Fun dine to earth. Clues are visible here, according to those who have inter ested themselves in the case of the brothers. At first it was not believed that the robbers secured any plunder. When Joe was seen at the little mountain cabin on Saturday, he made the statement that three dollars and some odd cents had been taken from a pocketbook belonging to John, who was shot. He added that when he returned to his little home at 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, after taking his brother to the Harrisburg Hospital, he saw a light in the cabin through the cornfield as he approach ed. This light had disappeared when he came to the house. This incident 1 is to puzzling, locai interested ones.
