Shellcnlicrcrwon the Plaudits of the Entire Community by Capturing the Desperado. Sunday morning shortly after two o'clock, J. B. ShcllenbeTger," of Ban uerville, was awakened from his slum bers by his burglar alarm at the store He hastened out of the house and summoned his neighbors and approach Ing the stoie, they saw a man inside carrying a light. Mr. Shellenberger saw a shadow on the blind and fired at the shadow from a distance of !10 feet. It was evident that the shot took effect as the noixe that followed indicated that the burglar fell. The posse on guard watched for few minutes to sen whether there were any others, who would probably try to escape. It seems there was only the one intruder. Upon investigation It was toundthat the baU entered the man's kidney. Dr. hlvewas summoned to give the in jured robber medical mid surgical at tention. All day Sunday his life seemed hanging on a thread, but Mon day, the indications were more favor able. He seemed to gn4u strength. The robber at first refused to reveal his identity, but eventually said his name was. George Snyder, a resident of one of the suburbs of Shamokln He Is about 35 years of age, weight about 170 pounds, has auburn hair, full Bandy beard and wore blue over alls and plow shoes. He Bays he has a family. . As yet his identity in Shamo kln has not been discovered and it is probable he has not given his coreect name. A warrant was sworn out and he was placed under arrest. The over seers are temporarily looking after the wants of the man, but the County eventually must pay the bill. BROUGHT TO JAIL. The injured robber was brought to Jail by train, Tuesday evening. A large crowd of people turned out to see him. A reporter of the Post called at the Jail and the prisoner made this state ment.
