cellar on Coal street the four men walked out
to the street, assisting Dando. The police
hurried back to the house where the shoot
ing occurred and found that the bird had
flown.
Salie Bialecki, the daughter of the mur.
derer, says that as the four men walked out
the rear doorway with Dando, her father
pushed the door after them and stepped out
Of the stairway into the kitchen. He sa id
to her, Good bye l am going to the Squires
office, and he hurriedly left the house by way
of the door opening ON to Strawberry alley,
and in an opposite direction TO that taken by
Dando and the four men.
1t has been stated that several hounds
owned by BialeCki followed him up Locust
Mountain, and have not returned since.
This has been referred to as a good clue.
1t is true that after the shooting the hounds
did go up the mountain, but they returned
later in the night. The members Of tile
family say that there is nothing significant
in connection with the hounds. They are
not penned up and they take runs on the
mountain every night.
Constable DandO is 90 years of age and has
wife and two grown up children. lie did
considerable service in the civil war and is a
member of Watkin Waters Post No 146, G.
A. X. He was the first appointed policeman
in the borough and served several years on
the regular force His record is that of
quiet, courteous man, and fearless in the per-
forlnance of his duty as an officer. He was
very popular and regret over his fate is
general.
BialeGki is Ga years DID, weighs $50 pounds
and is feet and inches high. His hair is
brown and his red moustache is mixed with
gray. This is the description of the man as
telegraphed by the police this morning to all
the neighboring towns and other parts of
the region.
Dando spent a restless night but rested
quite easy this morning after the physicians
administered opiates. This afternoon he
had another spell of restlessness and suffered
from great pain in his breast and side The
opinions of the physicians as to the ultimate
result are unchanged They entertain no
hopes for recovery.
No trace of Bialecki had been found up to
late hour this afternoon. All the members
of the police force were out to-day in citizens
cloths and some of them visited the sur
rounding towns in search of the fugitive.
Justice Shoemaker has possession of the
shot gun with which the crime was com.
mitted. One of the barrels is still loaded
Policeman Matz delivered the weapon to the
Justice, having found it in Bialecki's house

BIG BEER CUT.
The Columbia Brewing Company Takes
Up the Gauntlet.

The Columbia Brewing Company of town
has determined to show that it can take a
hand in the cut rate game inaugurated by
the Philadelphia brewing concern and the
fur is flying. The Quaker City company put
beer into the town about ten days ago at six
dollars barrel All the other companies
were charging seven dollars, and none made
no effort to meet the cut until to-day, when
the Columbia Company reduced its price to
five dollars. This is the lowest figure at
which beer has ever been sold in the town.
The Lebanon Brewing Company has author
lied its agent here to make cut as low as
$3.50 if necessary. Now that the issue is
framed it will be watched with great interest.

Statement and Non Inter

president decided this afternoon
not to interfere in the North or
South Carolina race troubles. \
member of the cabinet said of the
decision
"CoIlector ToIbert was shot
while away from his Office ON bus
mess entirely disconnected with
that of his position and under
those circumstance the govern
ment has not the shadow of n
right to interfere. If the collec-
tor had been in the discharge of
his oficialttaties and in an effort
to discharge the laws of the Unit
ed States the case would have been
very different and the duty of the
government would have been clear
In the present case, however, it is
said that the lawless acts of the
mob were not directed againct ex-
ecution of any of the laws of The
United States but against an in
dividual. Tie case would have
been the same if Tolbert had been
shot On the highway by a rob-
ber."
