ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.]
| lockwood, April 6.-Revenue Officer
Fisher and his posse captured the men they
were after, and had it not been for conflict
between the State and the United States
officers, the murderers, Miller and Pritts,
would have been lodged in Jail ere this
Abe FLETCHER and Jacob Garry were merely
arrested for the purpose of forcing some
sort of confession from them regarding the
whereabouts of the murderers These muir
| derers must be arrested either by the State
| or county officers, the United States Gov
| ernment having nothing to do with it. This
explains the long delay in the arrest of the
principals. The two men arrested to-day
can be tried at any time for moonshining,.
but if Miller and Pritts were pulled in,
they would have to first stand trial for
murder.
Judging from indications late tonight the
matter has at last been placed In the hands
of Sheriff Good, Of Somerset, who will
leave the question Of moonshining to the
Government and arrest the murderers. 1t
is understood here tonight that Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue Mason has posi-
lively declined to aid the local or State au-
tHoFiticS LII running tue uluTucEcIS uoWu.
Garry was taken at the grist mill, where
he was hard at work preparing to put in a
new water wheel, and Fletcher was taken q
short distance from the mill, and was on his
way there when put under arrest. Neither
prisoner offered the slightest resistance, but
both protested strongly against being taken
to Somerset. The warrants were sworn
out by R. G. and H. G. Hochstetler,
charging that Jacob NJ. Garry and
Abe Fletcher had conspired, planned,
ries to the murder of Jonathan c. Hochstet-
Ter. The warrants were shown them. and |
they said they were guilty, but they did not |
think they ought to be arrested unless |
Miller and Pritts were. They were placed |
on horses and taken to lockwood, where |
Here they were placed in the borough lock |
M and n telegram sent to Chief of Police |
Gilbert at this place TO come for them.
The prisoners look enough alike to be |
brothers. Both are typical mountaineers. |
and are giants in statue, Garry standing |
going him three inches better. Both wore
low-crowned hats of black felt heavy gum
boots with their corduroy breeches stuffed /
in the tops and red flannel shirts. Garry
looked worried and frightened and kept |
constantly glancing around like q wild |
cool and collected, and is either not as guilty
or more of a philosopher than his cornrade.
Abe Fletcher was asked when he had seen
Miller and Pritts last. "Not since the night
they did that" he answered. "Did You not
spend the night with them in the shanty?"
"1es; and 1t came about in this waN: They |
came to my house ana General Seigel was
pretty drunk and my old woman was afraid
of him, so went up and stayed with them
and Bob and Jake mere in the shanty"

GREENsBURG, April G.-Lasr night about
O'Clock Mrs. Daniel Krigger, OF New Flor
ence, noticed a light in Daniel Pershings
store, across the street from her residence,
and, waking her husband and his brother
William, told them there were burglars at
work in Pershing's store. Instead of going
over to the store they went to Mr.. Persh-
ing's house and aroused him, and the three
started to the store. While hurrying along
the street they met man whom they did
not know. and at once suspected that he
was q burglar, ordered him to lalt but he.
not knowing them, thonght thev were high
waymen intent upon robbing him, so he re-
fused TO halr, at the same time saying that if
they did not go about their business he
would shoot them.
This frightened the three men and they
whipped out their revolvers and fired II
shots without hitting him, when he whipped
oat his revolver and took n hand in the
game. His first shot struck William Krigger
in the right shoulder, inf1icting serious,
bit. it is thought, not fatal wound. BY this
time number of the citizens had been
aroused and were ut the scene, and when tile
smoke had cleared away the man whom the
trio took for burglar proved to be Charles
Long, q young man of Nineveh, who had
been calling on his sweetheart, and was on
his way home wien he encountered the
three men.

wHITNEY's FOOLISH THREAT
Arthur Threatens to Sue the Local Club for
His Salary.

Arthur Whitney caused quite surprise in
baseball circles yesterday by refusing to ac-
cept his release from the local ball club. He
claimed that the ten-day clause in con-
tract is not recognized by law, and that he
is inclined to stay here all season and sue
for his salary at the end of the season. He
will not be allowed in the dressing rooms or
on the grounds.
Mr.. Whitney is acting a very mulish and
ungenerous part. and were there any
validity IN his claim there would simply be
an end to baseball. He has already received
$500 from the club and certainly the officials
havea perfect right to use their Judgment
as 20 men whom they want and men whom
they don't want. If Mr.. Whitney intends to
play any more baseball he is just doing the
thing that will cause every club to ignore
him. 1t will certainly be better for Arthur
II he goes away from Pittsburg as other gen.
temanIy players have done If baseball is
not huge farce his claim is as nonsensical
as his claim of owning the moon would be.

TO ENFORCE A CONTRACT
Jewett and Miller Claim Hostetter Refuses

Jewett and Miller Claim Hostetter Refuses
to Surrender Securities.
1t is pretty hard to understand what is
back of the suits of George NJ. Jewett and
John Henry Miller. of Baltimore, against
d. Herbert Hostetter. The frst-named
gentleman, it appears, entered into scheme
to consolidate certain railroads and coal
properties around Baltimore. A syndicate
known as the Transportation and Terminal
Company, of Baltimore, claimed to control
the Deer Creek and Susquehanna, the
Maryland Central, and York and Peach
Bottom roads. A number of Pittsburgers,
among them Mr.. Hostetter held stocks in
these companies. Part of the deal was the
construction of the Baltimore Belt Line
road, which for the present is blocked bv
terminal difficulties
Miller and Jewett claim they made con-
tract with Hostetter, by the terms of which
he was to surrender his securities in these
companies. The suit is brought to enforce
the contract. Mr.. Hostetter denies that
such contract was made.
