UNIoNTowN, Pa, Oct 3-Frank Cooley,
the leader of the notorious Cooley gang,
was shot and killed yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock at the home of his father,
Lutte" Cooley, between Fairchance and
Smithfield. The authorities some time ago
decided that their frequent raids into the
mountains would never capture the gang,
and they changed their tactics George
Fisher, United States secret service de-
tective from Hagerstown, Maryland; Frank
Pegg, of Uniontown; Policeman Hartley,
of Fairchance and others have been quietly
lying about the neighborhood for the past
three weeks. They observed that the gang
came down from their mountain retreat to
Old Man Cooley's every Sunday for three
Sundays and amuse themselves playing
cards and drinking.
The Outlaws Run Down.
The sheriff concluded that they would do
this again yesterday and prepared to make
Mccormick and few deputies from here
slipped out quietly to Fairchance before
daylight to avoid the spies of the gang
and joined the watchers in the field. Frank
Cooley and Jack Ramsey, the two most
daring of the gang, came riding down to
the Cooley house about noon, and in the
afternoon went back of the house into a
field which had been lately cleared of tim
ber and was full of stumps. When the
sheriff's party came down on them Ramsey
and Cooley were both half lying and half
sitting against stumps with their Win
chesters beside them
Cooley Shot Through the Heart.
Sheriff Mccormick was in advance and
while some distance off Cooley spied him.
He and Ramsey fired five times at the sher-
iff without getting up, but all their bullets
missed him. The sheriff had meanwhile
taken refuge behind tree, and from this
place fired the ball that pierced Cooley's
heart as he lay against the stump, killing
him instantly. \ number of shots were
fired Mt the outlaws by other members of
the sheriff's posse. Ramsey started off on
a run as soon as he saw his chief was killed
heels. racing after him and firing as he ran,
but he got away.
still Pursuing Ramsey
Coroner Holbert, of F;irchance, was sum-
moned and held an inquest on the body of
the dead outlaw and he now lies at the
home of his father The greatest excite
mert prevails in the southern end of the
county, and a feeling of relief is felt over
the death of the outlaw leader. None of
the sheriff's party has returned, being still
on the hunt for Ramsey.

CINCINNATI. o., Oct. 3.-A few weeks
ago the Cincinnati and Covington Street
Railway company reduced the fare from
10 to cents and travel was greatly in
creased but strangely enough the revenue
was largely decreased. The company en-
ployed Detective L. y. Miller, of Cleveland,
to discover the cause if possible. Miller
came here and began running a car. He
was affabic and soon had q staunch friend in
every conductor the road. One night
about q week ago when he had made his
last trip a conductor said to him: Are

Got a Clue and Solved the Puzzle.
"Yes'n said Miller. The conductor then
handed Miller a lot of punched tickets. He
took them to his room and made a careful
examination of them. He found that one
of them had been scorched. He at once
inquired from headquarters what was done
with punched tickets after they were re-
turned by the conductors, and was in
formed that they were placed in u sack and

Grcaves loosed his hold on Gamels wrist
and 2rasped at rope.
Saved by Miracle
Three quick, sharp blows were rained on
his defenseless head by the enraged assail-
ant. Two fell on Greaves' back, and one
sDlit open his skull back of the left ear. He
staggered, lest his hold and fell, but was
caught between two guy ropes as if by a
miracle, where he lay out of the reach of

up the cables to the bridge floor.

Camel followed, hatchet in hand Here
another workman interfered and prevented
actual murder. The wounded man was
carried to The Canadian shore. Surgeons
were summoned and dressed his wounds.
It was then discovered that an artery was

HAZARD IN THE MAIL SERVICE.
WanamaiSer Thinks 1t Should BE Nor
Haterially Appreciated.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-In announcing
the deaths OF the postal clerks who were
killed in the railway accident at Shreve O.,
Sept. 81, the postmaster general says: Il
must again give expression to my profound
regret that the department is not author
lied to extend more substantial recog-
milton of the faithful services of clerks who
die at their posts" In his previous annual
reports to the postmaster general, Second
Assistant Postmaster General Bell, who
has charge Of the railway mail service, has
urged that congress should make some pro-
vision for the families of the railway mail
clerks who lose their lives through accident
on the roads, but without avail owing to
the opposition to the establishment of q
civil pension list.
VIII Tackle Congress Again.
In his report this year General Bell will
dwell more strongly than ever upon tho
necessity CT legislation authorizing the
postmaster general to pay to the families
of such clerks as lose their lives at least
one years pay. to meet expenses incurred
| by death and tide them over until they can
make preparation for future subsistence.
This plan General Bell thinks could prop
erly meet the objection that is urged
against civil pension list. A glaring in
consistency in the servibe now is that while
a railway mail clerk who is injured in a
wreck and temporarily incapacitated for
duty receives his regular pay until able to
resume work; nothing is or can be done
for clerk who loses his life.
