To wed him, and she did
They lived together happily,

what Could the Young Men Do 2,

-N"AA NA1AA IL
Mahanoy City is blessed with some nice
girls but it is not a very blessed thing Ia
walk to Shenandoah after missing the last
car. That is the fate which befell two Young
men of town last night, all on account of
the nice girls. After roaming three hours
among the rocks and over the rugged paths
between the two towns they reached home at
three O'Clock this morning. To add to their
misfortune they lost the road near the Ell
langowan colliery and but for the kind
hearted Waterman, who directed them back
to the road with a lantern in hand, they
might have suffered more. One of the
young men wore a new overcoat, new pair
OF trousers and a new pair of patent en-
ameled russets and had them damaged by
falling into a ditch. His partner amazed
a new pair of kid gloves by taking a

charged with issuing orders Of five dollars
each to pay themselves for attending the an
nual meeting Of the School Directors Asso-
citation of Schuylkin county at PottsvilIe.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Mahanoy City, Nov. 29.-Another shooting
afGray has been added to the annals of this
borough and it is probable that the affair will
result fatally to the victim. 1t occurred at
about $3.50. O'Clock Saturday evening, in the
house of Anthony Sizilouski, at $40 West
Centre street. All the men who figured in
the affair we're boarders in the house and
were in one of the bedrooms at the time.
The victim was Barney Krachukis. He was
shot by Anthony Antonitis.
Krachukis and one Joseph Cristunis were
seated in a room on the second story of the
Sizilonski house, conversing on general
topics, when Anthony Antonitis entered the
room. A new revolver Krachukis had pur-
chased was lying on a trunk and Antonitis
picked up the weapon to examine it. Cristu-
mis-, it alleged, said to Antonitis, Shoot that
man, " and the latter, pointing the weapon at
Krachukis, fired. The bullet entered Karachu-
kis' left breast, pierced the lung, and lodged
under the shoulder blade. Krachukis, not
withstanding the serious nature of his
wound, was able to run to Hagenbuch's drug
store. about five squares distant, and go back
to the boarding house unassisted after having
the wound examined. He received medical
attendance at the house, and the injury was
pronounced a probably fatal one. He was
removed to the Miners hospital this morning.
Antonitis disappeared Immediately after the
shooting and has not been traced. Cristunls
was arrested on a charge of instigating the
shooting and committed to the Pottsville

way.
David T. Kreiger, of East Coal street, had
an extraordinary escape from death in a
gangway Of the West Shenandoah mines
Saturday afternoon. He had stopped work
temporarily to sound the rib when 2 large
piece of rock behind and above him fell.
Kreiger was forced down under the great
weight in such a manner that his head was
doubled under his body and his neck almost
broken. The victims situation was a critical
one but he was speedily relieved. The unfortu-
nate man experienced difficulty in breathing
and when given a spoonful of medicine at his
home he was unable to swallow it. In en-
deavOring to do so he almost strangled. A
further examination showed that the gullet
had been forced to one side to such an extent
that it prevented swallowing, or expectora-
ton. An appliance to keep the gullet in
place was attached to the mans throat and
his condition has improved considerably.
Kreiger is about So years old and resides
with his brother, G. & 1. Policeman Peter c.

fire alarm was sounded from box 16 in the

prompt response but its services were not

tinguished by occupants of the house before
much damage was done. A neighbor caused
the alarm to be sounded.
