HE BATTLED
WITH THREE
CzrykO Successfully Fights
With Three Highwaymen.
THEY WERE GLAD TO SKIP
The Victim Was Followed From Ring
town and Attacked Near the Gene
terieS-RObbery the Motive.

Walter Czryko, Polish resident of the
First ward, was victim of a felonious
attack on the highway while walking
from Ringtown to this place, last night,
but by making a hard fight he eventually
succeeded in turning the tables on the
highwaymen and putting them to flight
Czryko is a heavy built man with CON
siderable muscular development and has
had some experience in scraps" through
his connection with the special police
force of town.
He says he spent yesterday visiting
friends at Ringtown. On the way home
he stopped at hotel and while there had
ten-dollar bill changed. Three young
men whom he recognized as residents OF
Shenandoah, but of whose names and
exact residences he is in ignorance, were
in the place at the time and eyed him
closely as he received his change.
Czryko again took up his homeward
journey. After ascending the mountain
road for some distance he looked back and
saw he was being followed by the tb rec
young men he had seen in the hotel. As
they were some distance to the rear he
paid no particular attention to them. The
followers gradually gained on the lonely
traveller and when near the Polish Gene
terry they pounced upon him. Czryko was
knocked to the ground by a blow on the
head from heavy club. He was momen-
tarily dazed, but quickly recovered him
self and, in spite of repeated blows and
kicks, succeeded in regaining his feet. He
made a desperate fight and fired pieces of
rock with such precision that the assail-
ants were glad to beat a retreat. Czryko
sustained a severe beating, but he saved
his money and is not dangerously injured.
No arrests have been made.

account of Festy Toole, of VIM. Penn, be-
ing arrested for refusing to pay his fare
on one of the Schuvlkill Traction Com
pany's cars and charging the conductor,
Michael Gallagher, with knocking down
fares. Mr.. Toole has been very much put
about concerning the charge. He says
when Gallagher came 20 collect fares he
did not persist but paid his fare as q
model passenger should. He and Gala
gber have been the bes- OF friends and on
the strength of their existing friendship
accused Gallagher in a friendly manner
of knocking down fares, whereupon
Gallagher had him taken before Squire
Green, of VIM. Penn, where both parties
agreed to an amicable settlement. Mr.
Toole has always borne au excellent repu-
tation as law-abiding citizen in that
community.

THE anarchisiln that seems run ming riot in the east should be put down. And 1t will be put down. Surely the great republic, which crushed a rebellion by eleven great states, can not long be detied by scattered hand fuls of law breakers. The states them selves are able to cope with these troubles, and will do so. But If they fail, the general government should settle them. By the constitution the United States must guarantee every state a republican form of govern ment. In some states it is about time that the general government stepped in and made good its guaranty.

DURING these many years the regu- lar army, the militia of the various states and numerous other organiza- tions of military or semi-military na- ture, have been practicing marks manshi1, making wonderful scores, and doing tall shooting generally, un- til public opinion has grown into belief that in future wars less lead will be wasted. But the recent colli- sions between strikers and armed bands of deputy sheriffs, militia, etc., have demonstrated that to kill man with the modern weapons of precision, skilled marksmen. etc., just as much lead is thrown as in the days of the old Enleld rife-yiz: an amount equal.ing lis weight.

PULL TOGETHER.

in building up towns and cities na-
 tural advantages count for great
 deal. But the energy and persistence
 Of their citizens likewise count for
 much, and in many instances for
 great deal more.
 Some of the most advantaQeously
 located cities in the country have
 been distanced in the race for com mercial supremacy by less fortunate ly located rivals, because they rested too much upon their natural adyant- ages and too little upon their own eff forts; while their less adyantageously situated neighbors, made amends for disadvantages of location by persist ent energy and enterprise. The cities of Chicago and St. Louis are fair ex- ample of this proposition.
 St. Louis was city which conn manded the trade of an empire when Chicago was only trading post. Seated at the confidence of two might ty rivers with the junction of a third not far away, her great fiotillas of steamboats carried her trade through a territory almost eqnalllng Europe in it's area. Just as Chicago began to emerge from the swaddling clothes of village existence the application of steam to land transportation became a success. Chicago enterprise saw in this means of counteracting the na- tural advantages of river transporta- tion given St. Louis. and set out ex- tending railway lines into the territo- ry the rivers drained.
 First the upper Mississippi valley was reached and it's trade diverted from St. Louis to Chicago; and twenty years later the upper Missouri was tapped, and that trade too, was wrest- cd from St. Louis.
 While all this was going on St. Louis rested in fancled security upon her natural advantages, with vain belief that water transportation was cheaper than transportation by land, and that her trade could not be wrest- ed from her by railway lines. But too late she found her mistake, and Chl- cago passed her in the race for com mercial supremacy and population. Then St. Louis commenced turning heI attention to development of tri- butary railway system to enable her to control the trade of the great em- pire lying southwest. Having lost the great northwestern empire, she turn ed in the other direction. But so great had become the impetus of Chl- cago that these lines, built and con- trolled by St Louis, finally found it necessary to unite with systems cen tering in Chicago, by which the latter reached past the doors of St. Louis and compelled division of the trade the latter had so fondly hoped to mo- nopolize.
 But the great secret of the whole was that Chicago men al- ways pulled together, and always pull ed for Chicago. The great principle on which they built so we'll and so widely, has forceful application in every town and city in the country that hopes for healthy, vigorous growth.
