For many long days and even weeks
Kathleen Neville lay between life and
death, watched over tenderly by her
various nurses, who We'd with one an
other day and night in their efforts to
see that she wanted for nothing. and
had always the best and most careful
attendance
Most of the time she was unconscious.
generally she was delirious. and at such
times she raved of the old DAYS at her
fathers home in Ballnahow- of her two
brothers, of her parents, of the cows
she had MIXED and the pigs she had
fed, and more especially of Denis Ma
honx.
Sometimes she fancied they werc once

On the subject of neat and clever pro-
posals of marriage Prof Moore Of the

expressed longing to be Of some service

The preacher listened attentively. At

Then suddenly she swayed and fell in
heap on the platform, at the feet Of
George Gustav Steinbach
Later on that night the doctor was
sent for, and returned Immediately with
the messenger, Paul Brymer.
He remained for some time in the sick
room with the signor and Marie, who
actually quarreled because the doctor
said that II was unnecessary for them
both to remain with kathleen all night,
and neither of them wanted to be the
one to leave.
At last he came out with the signor,
and Marie rem aimed by the bedside I'M

visit

man. He came again many times With

AT last Carl Bunsen determined so

accordingly waylaid him upon the stairs,

where they could talk undisturbed

but he stuck to his guns nobly.

Carl glowered upon him.

manded.

TWO MEN KILLED IN
FREE FIGHT OVER BEER
Several Others Injured in a
Jollihcation of Miners
Near Latrobe, Pa.

Latrobe, Pa, March 16.-From re
sort in the foothills of Chestnut Ridge,
in the vicinity of Baggaley, comes the|
story of Saturday nights jollifcation,
terminating in a free for all fight, in
which two men were murdered and
several others were badly wounded.
At late hour Saturday night terri
fed Italian. his clothing torn and
stained with blood from several cuts,
about his head and body, came to
Latrobe, and, accosting Officer Fry,
begged for protection.
The man told a story of the drink
ing bout which ended in a fight OF
alarming proportions, in which reyol-
vers, knives, razors, miners picks and
clubs were freely used He said that
two men had been shot and we're dead,
and that the crowd was dragging their
bodies into the woods, and that several
others had sustained serious injury by
being cut and stabbed. Through good
luck he had succeeded in getting out
of the mix-up and escaped by fight.
The dispute had originated, he said,
over the distribution of beer. The
miners, as is customary on pay day,
had secured several wagon loads of
beer to aid in proper celebration of
the day. Officers have gone to the
scene Of the battle. but the investiga-
tion will necessarily be tedious.
