W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. 2O-A daring
murder and robbery occurred yesterday
morning few miles from here on the
Nilkesbarre mountain. Paymaster John
B. Mcclure and Stable Boss Hugh
Flanagan, of Philadelphia, and their
horses were shot dead and sum
OF money amounting to $4,000 in
their possession was taken by the
ed in buggy to pay the workmen ON Nc
ley railroad between Mill Creek and Laurel
Run, and their dead bodies were found
just before noon lying on the road in
lonely strip Of wood.
There is great excitement here over the
murder, and numerous theories have been
advanced as to how the deed was done.
The latest theory is that the muir.
der was committed by an organized
gang Of six Italians, who were sta
toned at different points on the lonely
road. Two of them stood behind big pine
tree, which was covered in front by under
brush, and when the two men came in
sight they fred, killing Flanagan, who fell
out Of the buggy. The autopsy shows that
Mcclure was shot in the back. He probably
fell out of the buggy too, but in falling
his foot was caught in the crossbar and
he was dragged for quarter of a mile,
tho horse travelling that distance
from where Flannigan's body was
found. When the horse came to
standstill the Williams jumped into the
buggy and took the money. Finding that
Mcclure was still alive, one of the muir.

AT the last drawing of the Prussian
State lottery the grand prize of $751;
600 went to a well-knowp Silesian.
Curiously enough, his father won the
grand prize just forty years ago, and
fifteen years ago his uncle won half
the prize in the same lottery. But the
most startling coincidence in the
whole matter is that in every instance
1t was the same number that captured
the prize. That number ought to be
one Of the most popular heirlooms of
the family.
