Work. /

~
TAMAQUA. Pa. March 25.-Anothat
attempt to murder a railroad agent has
been made" at Girardville. and 1t Is
believed the same gang that was re-
sponsible for the murder OF Operator
Clendenin 1T Browns Tower u Also re-
sponsible for this new crime.
William G%ranger,t the agent for the
Reading Railroad at Girardville. was
seated at his operating desk in the
station when two shots were fred at
him through the window.
One of the bullets lust grazed Gran
gers head. but neither OF them did
any actual damage.
He put tho lights out at once and
looked out. but could see no trace Of
the persons who had fred at him, \
close search OF, the railroad yards was
made. but the would-be ~assasins had
fled.
Operator C,endenin wal killed in much
the same manner at Browns Tower.
and similar attempts have been made
to kill other operators since then. All
these murders and attempted murders
