EBENSBURG MAN
RUNDOWN BY CAR
‘Body of William A A Krug, Native
of Nicktown, Found Lying
Along the Highway.
State police are conducting a vigor-
ous search for a hit-and-run driver
who is believed to have struck William
A. Krug, 37, a coal miner, as he was
walking along the William Penn High-
way, near Ebensburg, on Monday night.
Krug's body, badly mangled, was dis-
covered by a truck driver early Tues-
day morning and taken to a morgue in
Ebensburg where an examination dis-
closed that he had been dead six or
seven hours, which would place the
time of the accident at midnight or
shortly after it.
Police believe the driver of the car
which struck Krug certainly must have
been aware of the accident, for the con-
dition of the body with the skull frac-
tured, one leg broken in several places
and the jawbone badly torn, bore ev-
idence of a powerful blow.
Krug, who made his home in Eb-
ensburg, had been working in a mine
at Revloc, but had been thrown out of
employment and had been returning to
his home after having walked to Nan-
ty-Glo in search of employment. He
was born at Nicktown on June 13th
1891, a son of Mr.
Krug, who, with his widow, Mrs. Irene
Krug, and six children, survive. He al-
so leaves one brother, Augustus Krug,
of Spangler.

LILLY MINER FOU IND DEAD
IN HIS CABIN LAST WEEK
Death in a tragic form came Wed-
nesday morning of last week to Ja-
mes Solomon, aged 46 years, a miner
residing in a cabin on the mountain
overlooking Lilly. Solomon, who is said
to have been a Hungarian, was employ-
ed at the mines of the Hughes Coal
Company. He had been out of work for |
several months, and recently became
| ill.
Nobody seems to have any idea as to
how Solomon came to his death. About
11:30 o'clock Dr. H. C. Blair of Lilly
received a telephone message telling
him that Solomon was either sick or
dying. Dr. Blair after some effort learn-
ed where he could see Solomon. At the
latter's humble home the physician was
directed to the cabin on the hillside.
Dr. Blair found the man dead, the
body lying on its back, his left hand
blown away and his viscera lying on
the ground beside the body.
Coroner Anna Swabb of Johnstown,
held an inquest Saturday, and after |
hearing the evidence of Dr. Blair, Mrs. |
Solomon and one or two others, the
Coroner's jury rendered a verdict “that
John Solomon came to his death from
some unknown cause, probably acci-
dental.” The jury held there was no-
thing to show that Solomon commit-
ted suicide. “
Mrs. Solomon testified that her hus-
band left home that morning carrying
a basket, which was empty. She said
he had been in the habit of keeping |
dynamite around the home, using it
in the mine when employed. Besides
the widow, Solomon leaves seven chil- |
dren in destitute circumstances.

PRIEST FOR PAST
Had Been Pastor of St. Monica's Con- |
{
| gregation for More Than Twenty
| Years. Well Known Here.
|
|
| This community received a sorrow-
| ful shock on Thursday
sudden death of the Rev. Father John
P. Duggan, for years pastor of St.
| Monica’s Catholic church at Chest
Springs, and known to practically all
| the residents of Patton and the sur-
| rounding country.
Death came to Father Duggan after
a sudden attack of acute illness shortly
after the noon hour last Thursday. His
| health had been impaired for some
[ time, but none of his parishioners ex
pected a fatal termination and his de-
| mise shocked the community. Dr. P. J.
| Kelly, of this place was in attendance |
on Father Duggan during his last mo-
ments, but the ministrations of medi-
{cal science were of no avail.
{ The Rev. Father Duggan was in the
| fifty-second year of his age. He was
| born in Scranton, a son of the late Mr. |
|and Mrs. Patrick Duggan, on January
15th, 1877. His early education was re-
ceived in the Parochial Schools at
Scranton. He then repaired to St. Ber-
nard’s College at Rochester, N. Y., and
{later to St. Bonaventure College at Al-
legany, N. Y, for his academic and
theological education, and came to the
| Diocese of Altoona in 1903, and was
| here admitted to Holy Orders by the
[late Rt. Rev. Bishop Eugene A. Gar-
vey. The young priest's first assignment
was at the Altoona pro-Cathedral,
| where he served as one of the assist-
ants for three years. The next two
| years he spent as rector at St. Agnes’
| Church, Frugality, and was then as-
signed to St. Monica's parish at Chest
Springs. After twenty years of pastor-
ial service there, he celebrated last
spring the twenty-fifth anniversary of
his ordination to the priesthood.
Father Duggan during his pastorate
at Chest Springs made many improve-
ments to the church property. The ex-
ecllent Parochial school,
des two years of high school study, is
a monument to his untiring efforts. It
may truly be said that Father Duggan
was an outstanding priest of the dio-
cese. His heart for years has been with
| the Chest Springs people, their church
and their town, and it was only fitting
that his mortal remains remain with
them.
Father Duggan’s only surviving rel-
lative is a sister, who resides in Seran-
ton. Father Duggan on Tuesday of last
week was the celebrant at a high mass
of requiem at Scranton for his cousin,
the late Rev. Father Thomas White,
and returned to Chest Springs only the
day before his death.
| The funeral services were held on
Tuesday morning of this week. Sun-
day afternoon the remains were re-
moved from the pastoral residence to
St. Monica's church where they lay in
{ state until the time of the funeral. A
guard of six men of the congregation
stood as a guard of honor all during
this period, and hundreds of people,
of all creeds, visited the church Sun-
day, to view the body of this able
| clergyman.
The majority of the priests of the
Altoona diocese attended the funeral
on Tuesday morning. The priests who
came to pay tribute to one of their
number were headed by the Rt. Rev.
Bishop John J. McCort, of Altoona, and
the Rt. Rev. Mons. John N. Codori, of
Johnstown.
The Rev. Father
pastor of the Holy
| Church at Ebensburg celebrated the
| solema requiem high mass. The Very
{ Rev. Father Bernard Conley, of Jun-
Hugh M. O'Neill,

| iata, diocesan chancellor, was deacon,
|and the Rev. Pollard W. Farran, of St.
was sub-deacon.
Augustine,
| The Rev. Father Stephen A. Ward, of
| Our Mother of Sorrows Church, Johns-
| town, one of the late pastor’s intimate
associates, delivered the sermon, in
| which he paid high tribute to the
sterling qualities of the Chest Springs
| rectors. Bishop McCort gave absolution
| over the corpse, following mass and
burial took place in St. Monica's cem-
etery.
MOTOR LICENSE FEES REACH
HIGHER MARK THAN IN 1927
Passenger motor vehicle registration
for the first nine months of this year
increased by more than four per cent
or 56,227 above the issuance for the
first three quarters of 1927.
At the close of business Sept. 30th,
there were 1,395,969 licenses issued for
passenger automobiles. The total for
all other classes was 216,720, an incera-
se of three per cent over the same pe-
riod last year. During September alone
5,379 licenses were issued for passen-
ger cars.
Revenues derived from license fees
and all other sources during the last
nine months totalled $25,760,620, of
which more than half, or $13,944,829,
came from license fees from passenger
automobiles. Fines for violation of the
motor laws gave the state $56,847 dur-
ing September, as compared with only
$7,770 in September, 1927.

Alleged Ashville Liquor Dealer
Dies Refusing to Divulge
Name of Assailant.
County Detective G. E. Whited and
State Policemen S. J. Walsh and John
Frank left Ebensburg last night for
Toledo, Ohio, to bring back into this
jurisdiction Ernest Hearn, of Tol-
Boyd Schaffer, of East
Juniata, Altoona, on charges connect-
ing them with the fatal shooting of
the late Tony Antonio last Sunday ev-
ening, by two then unknown men, at
his cabin home between Coupon and
Ashville, in Gallitzin township. Anto-
nio was rushed to the Altoona hospi-
tal where he died a short time after
being admitted without divulging who
| committed the deed.
County Detective Whited summoned
the two state policemen from the Eb-
enshurg barracks, went to Altoona on
Monday and plunged at once into what
seemed to he another mysterious as-
sassination. But it happened that three
men from Altoona, who had visited
Antonio in his cabin that evening, saw
two other men in the place and noticed
particularly a touring car with a Cal-
ifornia top which was standing in the
road in front of Antonio's home. One
of the trio had noticed the same car
frequent trips to the Wilson
farm in the Sinking Valley section,
and gave the authorities his informa-
tion. Following the trail to the Wilson
farm the county detective learned that
a man in Toledo, Ernest Hearn by
name, and employed in a garage there
owned the car. David Wilson, living at
Toledo and
came to know Hearn. He was also ab-
le to tell the officials about Boyd Sch-
affer visiting Hearn frequently and
making trips with him to and from To-
ledo. Wilson some time ago decided to
quit Toledo and returned home.
Complete descriptions of the men
wanted were wired to the Toledo police
chief, and yesterday morning came a
telegram notifying the county detect-
ive that Hearn and Schaffer had been
arrested there and had waived extradi-
tion. It is claimed strong evidence has
been secured against the men,
Antonio’s body was found lying a few
feet from his cabin on Sunday night by
three motorists who had gone to the
place.
