WAS NOT TAKEN ALIvE.-After
holding the sheriff of Centre county,
Pa apd 1000 armed citizens at bay for
twenty. four hours, the desperate, VIM.
Etlinger, was only driven from his
home yesterday when the burning
embers of the structure were falling
about his head, and then, desperate to
the last, and preferring death by his
own hands to surrender, he blew out
his brains upon the threshold Of his
dwelling. All efforts to dislodge the
man had been in vain and as very one
who approached the house exposed
himself to Etlinger's rifle, Sheriff
Condo found man to risk his life in
setting fire to the structure. Then it
was that Etlinger allowed his two little
children to leave the burning building,
but his wife only escaped death by
breaking away from her husbands
grasp, as he had intended to kill her as
we'll as himself. As it was. Etlinger
fl cd four shots after the woman as she
fed from the building and then stepped
outside and killed himself. Etlinger
lived in the little village of Woodward,
in the eastern end of Centre county.
He was about twenty-five years of age,
and among his neighbors he had the
reputation of being man whom it was
not best to provoke.
