A DEN OF THIEVES BROKEN UP.

Citizens OF Hollidaysbusg Take the war
path and Find Fence.
HoLLTDAYsBURa, Dec. % 23-[Specidi1 The
gang of thieves which has been terrorizing
this city for the past year has been run
down and a formidable "fence" captured,
while officers are pursuing the fleeing ras-
Gals. Outrages have been committed here
almost nightly. The robbing of the parson-
age of st. Michael's Catholic Church and the
attempt to murder Father John Heine,
created sensation a few days ago. This
had hardly died away when early this morn
ing gang broke into the store of j. T.
Robinson, carrying away several hundred
dollars worth of goods. Then the armory
of Company C, n. G. P, Fifth Regiment, was
also visited some time last night, and looted
OF everything of value. Uniforms, blankets,
muskets, bayonets, dirks, knives, knapsacks,
hatchets, bedticks and other paraphernaiia
were carted away.
The citizens decided to take the matter
into their own hands, Detective James Nc.
Feeley came down from Altoona and headed
n posse OF citizens. Accompanied by DIS
trict Attorney Martin Bell and Chief of
Police McGraw, they made a determined
search of several suspected places. They
then turned their attentions to the home OF
Horny Shay, man suspected of being con-
cerned in the rohberies. Here they ran into
q veritable thieves nest. The occupants
had taken alarm and fled, but they left
somely fitted up as an arsenal. lavishly
decorated with the spoils taken from the
armory. The floors OF other rooms were
heaped with rich goods of every descrip-
for months past, and valued up in the
thousands. Shay was not in the house, nor
were any of his pals, who are now known,
but warrants have been issued.
