SCRATCHED THE RoBBER.-With a
roll of crisp greenbacks in her stocking
and only her fingernails for a weapon,
plucky Mrs. George w. BossIer, of Hol-
lidaysburg, Pa, last night repulsed
four armed robbers, and sent them fly
ing from her home. This marvellous
power of scratching, which saved Mrs.
Bossler her treasure, was more fruitful
of results than her husbands fists. The
face of one of the robbers was so badly
lacerated that he hired horse in order
to avoid travelling in railroad car
Thursday morning in his flight from the
officers. The Boosters live at Duncan
Vile. They conduct q dairy, and
Wednesday several cows were sold:
Mrs. Bossler had also disposed
of considerable amount of poul-
try recently, so that Wednesday night
there was i'll the house over 500 in
bank notes.
Shortly after midnight four masked
man entered the Fossler residence. The
robbers were all armed with revolvers,
and after gaining an entrance to the
house, one stood guard on the stairs
while the others mounted to the second
floor, where Mr.. and Mrs. Bossler were
sleeping. One man covered Bossler
with pistol, and, calling him by name,
told him not to raise any cry or he
would be killed. The hired man, Brook
Hamil, who slept in an adjoining room,
was treated the same way and his
watch was stolen.
A demand was made on Bossler for
the money, and his wife, hearing the
threat, jumped from the bed, took the
money from bureau, and hid it in her
stocking. Immediately the fourth rob-
Der, who was on guard, rushed at the
yoman to rescue the coveted booty.
She pluclsily re.isted him, tore the
mask from his face and ploughed half 3
dozen little burrows down the invaders
cheeks. He tried to defend himself,
but again Mrs. Bossler scratched his
face until he yelled with pain. The
other thieves, fearing the outcry would
arouse the neighborhood, fled, closely
followed by the wounded one. Later
the man who had met with the woman's
nails drove to Cresson, and he is still at
large.

SAIr LAKE CRY. Utah. Dec. 1a--The
news Of the passage of. the Utah state
hood bill by the house was greeted with
quiet, but very decided interest here.
The recent disintegration OF the liberal
party, the only class who opposed state
hood, r6bs the event OF the sensational
interest IL would have possessed not
long ago. Statehood has for some time
been erpected by all classes and desired
by an overwhelming majority Of the
citizens OF Utah. regardless OF
religions. Both democrat and republi-
can parties will endeavor to make politi-
cal capital out of the passage OF the act
in the election for member OF the leg
islature from this city to be held In
January. This will be the first election
ever held in Salt Lake City. where oaly
two national parties will be In the field.
The anti Mormon element is npw
eliminated from politics and a.
the majority Of this party win
60 to the Republicans, who have
hitherto been hopelessly In the minority.
the result is full Of uncertainty, and Is
awaited with thintensointerest. The cleo
tion II a special one 20 ill vacancy
