FOUR MEN TRAPPED.
They Entered House on Luzerne Stree.
Fer the Purpose of Burglarizing II.
Two Of Them Injured.

John and stephen Reap. Il and 20
| years of age respectively, and residing
| on Jackson street: John DaCey 20 years
| old of Lu2ernc street, and John Phil
| lips. 20 years old, of Price street. We're
committed to the county Jail yesterday
morning by Alderman Davies at a
| hearing i'm police court. The charge
| against the young men was the seTl-
| Gus one of burglary.
As was exclusively stated i'm yester-
| day mornings issue of the Tribune,
the young men We're caught. after hav-
ing entered the dwelling house owned
| by Anthony McNulty, at 1908 Luzerne
! street. at o'clock yesterday morning.
| The house is a two-story frame dwell
ing, with a basement. The upper floors
| are occupied by the family of John
! Kuniski, and John Brown uses part
Of the basement. The remaining por-
| tion, or rear part EuniSki uses as a
cellar.
The cellar proved trap for the four
| young men, as il was through the door
! leading into the cellar from the outside
| that the entrance was effected The
| discovery of their presence was made
| by Kuniski, who, taking a revolver,
stole quietly out Of the house ana found
! that his fears We're confirmed. The
MCNultys were aroused and were soon
! downstairs and some neghbOrs also
| hurried to the scene. The burglars
! were fast indeed, for Kuniski had fast
! oned the door through which they had
| entered and closed, from the outside.
! The West Scranton police were noti-
! fed and Parolmen GuTen Marker,
and Constable jerry DrisColl soon ar
| rived upon the SCcne--and such a
scene. 1t is probable that had the dis
| tancc from the station house been
greater, 50 that the officers would have
! been longer in getting there a lynch
I ing or something nearly as had might
| have happened. As it was, shots were
| fired into the cellar; stephen Reap re-
! ceivcd a cash on his upper lip by being
| struck with a revolver as he attempt-
, ed to get out of a window, which they
had broken out, i'm a vain attempt to
escape. Then, too. when the people
outside opened the door the two Reap
boys and Dacey made dash for lib
crty ana Dacey got a clip on the head
which drew blood and deferred them
from any further attempt to flee from
the inevitable.
The crowd, which had been augment
~ anu N'lN HNdl ~ all lbltlEll lltiS, were
growing turbulent and the men were
hauled out, Just at this moment the
police officers arrived and none too
soon, for already all four had been
rolled in the mud and roughly tumbled
about.
At the hearing Kuniski, the McNul-
tvs, and several others testified against
the alleged burglars, The young men
disclaimed anv intent to do anything
wrong and GAINED that it was the
noise they made by rafting an inside
door, which led into Browns liquor
parlor but had been locked, that aroused
Kuniski, instead of Brown, as they in
tended, Kuniski claims he locked the
door through which they entered, but
they claim that the door was only fast
ened by an ordinary latch. Dacey in
diNidually stated that he had been In
the habit Of going through that door
