count of an attempted robbery and sad
accident occurred at n small village
STYLED Drytown, northeast OF Marietta,
Lancaster county. Rev. Christian
Nissiey, an old Mennonite preacher,
lives near the village referred to.
Sometime last WINTER" says the En-
aminer and Express "a party of tramps
attacked his house, and since then the
family have been particularly careful
about tramps. On Tuesday night
shortly after nine o'clock three tramps
came to his residence and demanded
money. The family became very much
alarmed and blew n horn and rang
bells to call the neighbors to assist
them. Mr.. Nissley's son Joseph took
loaded gun, and after some persua--
sion the women IN the house allowed
him to go outside. He went around
the barn and shortly heard II shot fired
and he then secreted himself IN Il
ditch, waiting for the men to get closer.
When they got near him, he fired,
thinking they we're the thieves, bu'
instead of that, they were neigbbor'
of Nissley, who vero coming to theil
assistance. The firing that young MIR
Nissley heard WAS the party who was
coming to the rescue, trying their pis
tolls to see that hey were IN good or
der. His shot resulted fatally, the dis
charge entering the upper part OF Mr.
