FOUR DARING ROBBERS.
POLICEMEN AND BURGLARS HAVE A
FIGHT AT WHITE HANEN.
East Munch Chunk Po*toffice Entered by
a (lung Early Friday Morning-When
Discovered They Hoarded a Freight
Train—Two Were Shot and Captured.
Four burglars broke into the post
office at East Maueh Chunk early Friday
morning. They were discovered, but
escaped at the point of their revolvers,
and two were wounded and captured in a
light at White Haven. It was one of
the most daring attempts at burglary
and the most desperate resistance to
arrest that has occurred in this region
for many a day. The postoflico is next
to the store of 11. A. Biichinan and is
seperated from it with a thin wall. Tho
burglars lirst gained eutranco to tlio
store, cut their way through tho wall
and then attacked tho big safe. They
liad succeeded in breaking off the com
bination of tho safe and wero prepar
ing to drill when a lot of young people
going homo from a ball heard the noise
and gave tho alarm.
in a few minutes sovoral young men
had collected, but wero unarmed and
made no attempt to arrest the men.
The burglars escaped through a rear
door, then dashed down the street,
threatening the crowd with their revol
vers, and succeed in hoarding a Jersey
Central freight train which was passing
through the town, northbound. Before
the crowd could get sufficient courage
to attack them they were out of danger.
It was decided to telegraph to White
Haven, the next point north, and all the
other towns along the road that the
train would pass through. When the I
White Haven operator received themes- !
sage the freight train was due in half an
hour. Fortunately the chief of police
lived near the station. He was quickly
aroused and set to work to get a posse".
So well did he work that live minutes
before the train was dim twenty men,
many half dressed and not all of them
armed, had gathered under his orders
and lay in wait just below the town,
where the train could be stopped on a
clear track. It was decided to do this,
as the robbers would have but little
chance to escape if the train was once
properly surrounded.
As the train drew in it was (lagged
and the engineer was asked if he had
any men on the train. One of the
brakemen said that four men who
boarded the train at Mauch Chunk were
about the middle of the train. The
posse at once rushed toward the place
designated, but the stopping of the train
the noise of many voices had ap
prised the robbers of what was going
on, and as the men rushed forward they
opened lire with their revolvers.
The posse found shelter behind piles
of ties and telegraph poles and then re
turned the fire with interest, aiming at
the flashes from the revolvers of the
the burglars. Over 100 shots had been
exchanged, but the lire of the burglars
slackened and then stopped, and one of
them shouted: "Wo give up; don't (ire
any more."
Fearful of some trick, the citizens ad
vanced but slowly, and this gave oppor
tunity for two of the men to escape.
Although they were iired at and follow
ed by several men they made good their
escape and it is not known whether they
were wounded or not.
In the car two of the desperadoes
were found, both seriously wounded.
The first has two pistol wounds in his
back, one of which seems to have pierc
ed his kidneys. He has been too weak
to give any information about himself.
The other man has a ball in his chest
„ and another in his arm. He remained
conscious but sullen, and the only infor
*imatinn that could bo got from him was
that his name is Henry Ivoper. He will
not sav where he lives and will give ab
solutely no particulars concerning his
comrades.
When there was a lull in the shooting
a ligure was seen moving on the top of
the box car and when commanded to
come down he did so. He said he was
an actor and a member of the Empire
Star Company, which has been playing
in Mauch Chunk, and he was innocent
of any connection with the robbers.
Ho was retained, however, but later in
the day was released.
Three empty revolvers were found in
the coal car, the latter showing the
marks of over fifty bullets. An old
stocking containing several sticks of dy
namite was found in Use postoftico, to
gether with two very line drills and
some hammers, all making a lino col
lection of burglars' tools.
The wounded men were taken to
Maucli Chunk and placed in jail.

surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through tin; mucous

Killed a Dog on Saturday.
Last Thursday Nellie, the seven-year
old daughter of Burgess McLaughlin,
was bitten in two places on the arm by
a dog on Walnut street. The little one's
father was unable to learn whose dog it
was, and on Saturday took the girl out
with him in the hopes that they would
meet the animal. The dog, after hitting
the girl on Thursday, ran into the; sa
loon of .Joseph Lutz, and there the bur
gess called on Saturday, leaving the
littlo one outside.
Mrs. Lutz called her two dogs and
when they arrived the burgess opened
the bar-room door to call in Nellie.
Immediately, the animal which was
wanted darted out on the street and
again attacked the child.
Hearing her screams Mr. McLaughlin
ran out and found the dog tearing vi
ciously at the girl's clothes. He drew
his revolver and shot the brute. The
wound was not fatal, but with the as
sistance f>f Daniel Feiler the animal was
killed.
Residents of Walnut street will feel a
little safer since there is one canine less
to bother them.
Police lluid Vehicle*.
Early Friday morning the police of
Hazleton in company with a number
of citizens made a tour of the city, and
where they found a wagon or any other
vehicle it was run to the city pound.
Hy 4 o'clock in the morning all the
streets in the vicinity of the city build
ing were blocked with vehicles. The.
owners supposed thievos had been at
work and some even notified the police.
A line of $0.50 was imposed for the
release of every wagon and nearly 8150
was realized through the scoop. Few
drivers got out with their teams in the
morning because the wagons were gone,
and business was tied up for awhile, the
early delivery of goods being delayed
until the fines were paid.
The raid was the result of a recent
proclamation by Mayor Altmillcr for
bidding owners of vehicles to let them
stand over night in alleys and side streets.
Clave Hl* Life to Save a Girl.
To save the life of a girl, Charles
Fisher met a heroic death on Friday
night. He was 18 years old and resided
at Frackville, Schuylkill county. Fish
er, in company with Mis* Bessie Wil
liams, of Gilbcrton, John Burns and
William Ryon, were walking on the
Reading Railroad towards Girardville.
The party stepped from in front of an
engine to the. other track and in front
of another locomotive which was bear
ing down upon them. They saw their
danger and Ryon and Burns jumped.
Miss Williams was but a few feet from
the engine when Fisher heroically and
with a great effort pushed her safely off
the track, but lost his own life. He"was
ground to death under the wheels of the
engine.
Kuspen*ion at Several Collieries.
All collerles owned and operated by the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
throughout the Panther Creek valley,
which includes Lansford and vicinity,
closed down on Friday evening and will
remain idle until May 4. This move on
the part of the company is discouraging
to the miners, who have only been aver
aging about half time for several months.
This will be the longest continuous sus
pension that has occurred in the Panther
Creek valley for a number of years.
Upper Lehigh, Sandy Run and all col
lieries which ship via the Jersey Central
suspended operations on Friday and will
not resume until next Friday or Monday.

The plaintiff was conducting a manufac
tory of woolen goods 011 one of the small

making the stream unfit for the. purpose
of following his business.

.Hazleton FirebugHQFoundSGuilty.
James Passarello, James Carone, Joe
Camorani and Michael Speri, the Hazle
ton Italians who were tried for arson,
were found guilty at Wilkesbarre on
Friday. Passarello and Carone were
convicted of robbery at the last term of
court and were sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary. If all tho cases are
pressed against the gang they will spend
the remainder of their lives in jail.
When taken into court 011 Saturday
for sentence T. R. Martin, attorney
the defense, asked for leniency because
two of the men, Passarello and Carone,
were sentenced last week to five years
in the penitentiary on another charge.
Judge Woodward then addressed the
prisoners as follows: "The crime of
which you stand convicted, considering
the manner of its perpetration, is one of
the most atrocious, diabolical and in
comprehensible that has ever been
brought to the notice of an American
court of justice. Impelled simply hy
jealousy 01 a fellow-countryman whose
honorable prosperity seems to have
excited your envy, and kindled an un
reasoning hatred, you conceive and exe
cuted. so far as you were able, a plot to
blow up his homo hy means of dynamite
while he and Ills entire family, consisting
of his wife, a child and two employes
were wrapt in sleep.
"The sentence we are about to impose
will, wo trust, Impress all those who in
the least degree are your sympathizers
with the truth that here in America
human life and the rights of property 1
are held sacred and zealously guarded j
by the courts, whoso duty it is to ad
minister the laws.
"The sentence of the court is that each
of you pay a fine of #4,000, costs and im
prisonment in eastern penitentiary for
twenty years, this sentence to begin at
the expiration of a former sentence of
five years imposed on Passarello and
Carone."
Coroner'* Jury Meet*.
From the Hazleton Standard.
The jury empanelled by Coroner Mc-
Combs to inquire into "the death of j
Angclo Dongola, met in the City build- j
ingon Friday afternoon. Four witnesses
were examined, tho most, damaging testi
mony being adduced by the eight-year
old son of the murdered man. He posi
tively asserted that he saw "Shovel"' who
is 110 one other than Andrew Annutz,
fire the shot that killed his father.
A boarder of the Anuutz's also gave
some damaging testimony, but he evaded
many important questions, which would '
seem to indicate that he knows more j
about the occui rence fia- he really cared
to reveal. His story of the affair was
very much disconnected.
The jury after examining the four wit
nesses very closolv, adjourned to meet
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Eight
witnesses still remain to be examined.
Special Election to He Held.
At a special meeting of the borough
school board on Thursday tho commit
tee 011 new building made its report.

and inquiries regarding the kind of
building that could be erected with the
money obtainable, and reported in favor
of erecting another school. It is to be
of brick and will contain eight rooms.
Richard Kealey has been engaged to
draw up plans, and Attorney Carr was
authorized to make the necessary prepa
rations for a special election 011 May 29,

not the school debt shall be increased.
Judge Cool and Son Hurt.
Judge Cool, aged 88 years, and his son.
C. L. Cool, both of West Pittston, were
quite seriously injured in Hazleton on
Thursday evening. While driving from

the head and was otherwise bruised and
scratched.
Change* mi the D. S. & S.
William Hincer, road foreman of en
gines 011 the I). S. fc S., has tendered his
resignation to the company. It is re
ported that others in high position have
been asked to do the same. The em
ployes have been bitterly complaining
for two years past of the unjust manner
in which promotions were made 011 the
road, and a regular system which gives
every man a chance to work himself up
has been adopted. It is said that Mr.
llincer will return to the Jersey Central.
