DUBOIS, Pa, Dec. 2S.-Stephen Speller,
who killed Michael Rohr last night, was
shot dead this morning when attempting
to escape his pursuers. Spellen took refuge
in water shaft, but the steam was turned
on and he was forced to uncover. Before
he was killed he fired several shots at his
pursuers, one ball taking effect in the
shoulder of Thomas Casey, proprietor OF
the Central Hotel, ,and another passing
through the coat of the chief of police. The
murder of Rohr was unprovoked, and it is
thought Spellen was demented when he
committed the deed.
