Evening and will Probably Die. Sykesville has furnished another sensational chapter to Jefierson county's criminal record.' Julius Sanovlch, a Lithuanian about thirty-three years old Is now In tho 'Adrian hospital hovering between life and death, and upon the result depends the fate of two Italians now being held In custody. It lssald that the trouble all arose in a war of hot words about recent labor trouble in a Sykesville coal mine. A number of Itullansand a brother of the man who was shot, hod gathered in the barroom of Hotol Sykes and tbe Lithuanian had threatened to return to, work. When ho loft the hotol tho Italians followed him home, but it seems that the man they were after entered the house and a brother came out to talk with the Ital ians. Immediately they jumped upon the Lithuanian, knocked him down and It is claimed usod a knife. A woman near called to them that throe on one wus unfair and one of the Italians stop ped away from the others. As he did so one of the others, Dominic Ronunno, a young Italian about twenty-two years old, pulled a revolver and deliberately shot the fallen Lithuanian. The bullet entered the man's skull above the fore head, crashed down through the bones In the forehead and came out near the nose. It was a terrible wound, uncover ing the brain at one place and It was notsupposed he could survlye very long. But he displayed unexpected vitality and Sunday was removed to the Adrian hospital for treatment. The three Italians who done the shooting skipped out at once. Word was sent to DuBois and to Chlof-of Police Adolsporger at Reynoldsville. Chief JelTerys captured two of tho suspects at DuBois and later one of them was brought to Reynolds ville. Whon Policemen Adolspergor and Dickey received the message that one Italian was headed this way they started to walk up towards Soldier and above Prescottvillo met Constable Waugaman on the trail down. They decided tho Italian was somewhore In that vicinity and entered an Italian boarding house near the grist mill dam. Ronunno, wet, muddy and In a stato of nervous collapse, was found there. He too was brought to Reynoldsville and locked up. Monday Chief Adelsperger took the prisoners to Sykesville where they bud a hearing before a justice of tho poace. Positive evidence was found against Ronunno and sufficient evidence against bis companion, Goorgl anna Mozzotta, to warrant holding bim for court. The third Italian was liberated. Constublo Waugaman took the Italluns to Brookville jail Monday evening. Both tho prisoners are under twenty-two years of ago. Sanovlch is still living as we go to press and seomes in no Iramodiate don gor of death. In Memory of "Bobbie" Burns. One of the biggest events the town of Soldier has ovor enjoyed was the ban quet and dance held last Thursday even ing at that place in honor of the one hundred and forty-seventh anniverary of Robert Burn's birth.

ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY. District Attorney James V. Murray will be a Candidate for Re-Nomination. As predicted by the Republican last week James V. Murray, Esq., tbe pres ent efficient district attorney, has of ficially announced his intention to be a candidate for re-nomination. This de cision on Mr. Murray's part has occa sioned no surprise among his friends, inasmuch as it was generally conceded, uDtil very recently, that he would have no opposition for re-nomlnation, In view of the fact that for the first time In the history of the county the District At torneyship will become a fairly remun erative office during tbe next term, owing to a recent law passed by the legislature changing the method of compensation from the fee system to a stated salary, and the widespread belief that Mr. Murray's splendid record for efficiency in the office had merited a re- nomination, now that the legislature has provided a somewhat adequate com pensation for the onerous work involved, a compensation which has been sadly lacking during Mr. Murray's incumben cy of the office. Mr. Murray's candidacy will stand strictly upon its merits. His record in the office is an open book, and the minutes of the court will bear out -the statement that bis work has been more beneficial to the county than profitable to himself. Mr. Murray ex pects to immediately take up the active work of the campaign, and he will no doubt meet with a cordial reception at the hands of the Republicans of the county, who know and appreciate his faithful service in the district attorney's office.

Skulls talk, Inanimate objects obey his commands, yards of ribbon come from "nowhere," as well as dozens of flags of every size and design. Live doves, rabbits and chickens came from the queerest places imaginable, and the wizard spread a table ready for a ban quet with no other source of supply than a cloak which apparently concealed nothing. He kept the people amused and profoundly puzzled as well. Maro lent varioty to his entertainment by several musical productions, using sax ophones and a wonderful one-string banjo. Taken altogether Maro is an artist whose equal has seldom, if ever, been seen on a local stage. Keystone Band Officers.
