WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 27.-The
Black Hand of the Malta society
struck blow of vengeance in Athens
Pa, last night, and two men are lying
in the Robert Packer hospital at Sayre
as a result of that mysterious band or
Italian bandits The men who were at
tackled are Dominica Mostello and Giu-
scope Scirona, Italians. Some time ago
Mostello Informed the Lchigh Valley
railroad detectives of the identity Of
the three members of the Malta gang
who held up large number of Italians
at Lake Carey and levied tribute on
them. The members of the Black
Hand" were arrested, but it was inn
possible to convict them, as Mostcllo
and all the other Italians were afraid
to testify against them in open court.
Soon afterward two of the three men
robbed Mostelo of S10O
As darkness came on one of the
three, said to be Il member Of the Malta
band OF New York, leading some re
cruits made from the Athens Italian
colony, attacked Mostelo and ScirQna,
ana they secured considerable money
from Mostcllo and SO from Scirona.
Then the leader of the band deliber-
ately shot MoStello twice and stabbed
him several times with n stiletto. Sci
roma was shot through the face and
two teeth knocked out and the base OF
his tongue injured.
1t is probable that Mostello's injuries
will prove fatal Immediately after the
shooting this story was procured
through nm interpreter. but none Of the
Italians will tell anything of the mys-
terious affair, ana rs a result the police
are unable to make arrests.

Al Davis. one Of the oldest life guards
on the beach here. was drowned under
sensational circumstances. Davis had
rescued a bather off the foot of Vir-
ginia avenue. When the bather was
taken into a boat, Davis started to
swim ashore with the life line. There
was the usual great throng of bathers
along the beach, and a crowd seized
hold of the shore end Of the line and
began to run along the sand. with the
idea of pulling the man out of the
ocean. Their intentions We're good, but
it was by reason of their action that
Davis was drowned. He was dragged
under the water and was unable to
raise himself.
