AIDED BY HIS PLUCKY WIFE I
Finally, After Having Been Driven From
His Home by Flame, be Kills Himself
Just Before tho llulldlng Is Blown
to Bits by- Dynamite.
Bellefonth, Ph., March 7. For twenty
four hours tho quiet llttlo vlllaRo of Wood
ward, In tho enstorn end of this county,
was tho Bcono of a bloody conflict. Will
lain Htllngor, who llvod thcro In n llttlo
frnmo house, with his wife and two chil
dren, hiul bocu a fugitive from Justico
since Inst fall. Ho was under ball for at
tempting to kill his wifo's father, but
when tho caso was called It was found that
ho hail Hod to tho mountain fnstnossos.
When Constahlo John Barnor, who had
boon Bworn In only a fow days boforo,
learnod on Thursday nftornoon that tho
outlaw had slipped down to his homo to
seo his wlfo and family ho dotormlnod to
trap him at any cost. Deputizing John
tlostonnan and 0. G. Motz to assist him,
thoy mndo their way to Etlluger's houso.
Arriving thoro, thoy found tho outlaw,
with Ills wlfo and babies, barrlcadod In tho
second story. Barnor called upon him to
surrender, but was greeted with dorlslon.
With n shout to his men to back him up
tho constable, crashed In ono of tho panels
of tho door and crawled through tho apor
ture. Instantly thoro was a flash from
Etllnger's gun, and Barnor fell dead with
a bullet in his head. Motz and Hoster
man flod In terror and told tholr story. It
sot tho llttlo town ablazo with fury, and, n
constantly Increasing mob of mon gath
ered together, armed thomsolvoa with
guns, and mado for tho houso. Tho crowd
quickly swelled to 2,000 or more.
As thoy approached tho houso a fusllado
of shots from tho upper window warned
them to keep tholr distance. Both Etlln
ger and his wife, who Is almost as bold ns
ho, wero armed, and almost constantly
firing. Several persons wero Injured by
flying bullets, Frank Gulswhlto, who lay
sick In his houso next door, being shot in
tho head and shouldor.
Meanwhllo tho armed crowd without re
turned tho flro steadily. Tho bombard
mont was continued throughout tho night,
but tho beslcgwl still held tholr own, and
tho assailants grow nioro desperato. Early
yesterday morning ammunition began to
run out, and a dotnll was sent hero to pro
cure fresh suppllos. They returned with
cartridges and rifles. Theso wore too much
for tho dospcrado, and ho took his family
to tho cellar when tho bullets bogan to fly
clear through tho light framo structure.
Sheriff Coudo and aposso of sixteen men
had arrived moantlmo,and thoy then mado
a raid, but Etllnger and his wlfo repulsed
thorn with a heavy flro. At ono time tho
woman approached a window In tho houso
and lighted a f uso attached to a dynamlto
bomb, which sho meant to hurl into tho
crowd. A dozon guns wore lovclod at her,
and sho quickly disappeared.
Evontually it was decldod that tho only
rcsourco was to set flro to tho houso and
drlvo tho bandit out. Tliero was hesita
tion about this, bocauso of tho woman and
children, but tho mob was fast becoming
uncontrollable, and refused to listen to
reason. To avengo Uarnor's death seemed
to bo tho ono thought, and thoy would
listen to no plans of moderation. Shortly
after tho noon hour somo ono seized a torch
and applied It to tho framo walls of tho
house. Instantly tho wood lgnltod, and in
a moment tho flames wore leaping high in
tho nlr. But Etllnger continued, to flro
Into tho crowd, and yelled deflanco nt his
pursuers.
Tho flamo3 had oaton tholr way half
througli tho roof when a cry of gladness
announced that tho children had escaped
from tho building. Aftor a fow moments
of rapid firing tho woman appeared at tho
collar door. A thousand voices shouted
to her to como out, promising hor safoty,
but sho answered that sho must dlo with
her husband.
'Lot htm como out. then, and wo will
not shoot him I" was tho cry.
Tho nnswor was a yell of dorlslon and n
volloy from tho outlaw. Tho woman was
on her knoos, pleading with hor husband
to surrouder.whllo tho rlllo bullets whizzod
within threo Inches of her head. Finally
sho wronchod horsolf frco and ran. Et
llnger flrod threo shots after her, but thoy
wore wild, aud sho was uninjured. Her
ankles had boon bound togethor, so that
sho could not escape.
It was then that fctllngor realized that
his tlmo had como. With a grin of do
flanco ho thrust his head from tho collar
door, climbed to tho ground and drew
himself up to his full height. Than 300
rillos wore raised nnd leveled at him. but
only two shots rang out. Boforo thoy had
timo to pross tholr trlggors ho raised his
own woapon and sont two bullets into his
brain. A moment later hta body, riddled
with bullets, toppled over into tho flamos.
Almost immediately after thoro was a
tromondous report, and what was left of
tho burning structure wont In fragments
high Into tho air. Four hundred pounds
of dynamlto which ho had kopt In tho
cellar had exploded.
ilarner's dead body was rocovored. Tho
top of tho hoad had been crushed In by
bullots and tho throat was cut from oar to
ear.

Bald ho had read tho Washington dispatch
in which Senator Gordon, a commander-in-chief

Justices Lawlor and CarJIn Hang Up
Their Commissions.
WILL ATTEMPT TO OUST OTHERS
They Claim They Aro the Only legally
rElected and Bona Fide Justices Under
the Law in the Borough A Hot
Fight Expected.
John J. Cardln and M, J. Ijiwlor to-day
commenced business as Justices of tho Peace
of tho Borough and tho question as to
whether their claims to tho otlicesaro well
founded in law will now bo brought to a well
donned Issue, ns they tu-day mado arrange
ments to commence quo warranto proceedings
to oust William 11. Shoemaker, Jeremiah
Toomey, C. W. Dengler, T. T. Williams. 1
W. Biorstein, Walter ltynkiewicz, Daniel
Bailey and others who may claim to
hold or bo entitled to commissions ns
Justices of tho Peace in wards. Messrs.
Cardin and Lawlor claim thoy are tho only
legally elected nnd bona lido Justices in tho
borough under commissions received by
them yesterday, and they havo tho commis
sions framed and displayed in their ofliccs.
It is also claimed that tho mandamus pro
ceedings which aro to como before tho court
at Pottsvillo on Monday morning aro not
material, but will be pressed more to show
Judges of Election that all votes cast at an
election must ho returned to tho proper au
thorities of tho county, tho point being that
whenever it can bo determined what ofllco
aud what candidato a voter ballots fur that
voto must bo counted and returned.
As tj the Hakor ballot law, it is claimed
the laso is not affected by it, tho law being
directory aud not mandatory, nud not pro
hibiting any citizen to run for any olllco ho
may seo lit to seek.
Of course, the other Justices aro quite as
determined that they aro right and, as re
ported in yesterday's Hrhai.1), will fight tho
caso to tho bitter end. Tho real battlo will
bo waged when proceeding aro taken to oust
them.
Inquiry ns to how Justices Cardin and
Lawlor secured returns upon whicli to base
their applications for commissions shows that
tho Second and Fifth ward returns wero
mado by tho Judges of Election, whllo tho
First, Third and Fourth wards are covered
by aliidavits of peoplo who claim that so
mauy votes wero cast in tho respective wards
for tho offices claimed. These returns were
satisfactory to tho State Department and
upon them tho commissions were granted.
Meanwhile J. K. I Sclicllly is.goingahcud
with his suit for $50,000 damages against the
btato for withholding tho commission ho ap
plied for under election In tho spring of 18M).
At that election Mr. Sehellly polled 817 votes
and Justice Deugler 031. Mr. Dcnglerat tho
same time ran for Justico of tho Peace in tho
Socond ward, and received ids commission
for that olllce, but was refused a commission
as Justico of tho Peace of tlio borough. Mr.
Sehellly has employed W. D. Seltzer, Esq.
as his attomoy, and they wore engaged to
day in preparing papers for tho suit for dam
ages. For a good $1.50 Derby, MAX LEVIT'S.
