Shot by a Thief.

Mrs. Fletcher Lyons, a seventy year
old widow, residing near Mocauaqua
was shot while investigating noises in
her chicken coop, Tuesday night
Mrs. Lyons resides alone a mile west
of Mocanaqua. in lonely part of the
country, but not far from the Penusyl-
vania railroad Hearing noise in hor
chicken pen, about 80 O'Clock, Mrs.
Lyons went to the back door of her
home to ascertain the cause Her ap-
pearance upon the threshold was fol-
lowed Immediately by fash of fire
and the report of gun. Mrs. Lyons
fell to the floor, load of shot having
entered her face and neck.
Engineer Houser. of Sunbury, who
was running an extra freight train. by
that point, at the time, saw the three
men fire the shot, then turn and run
away he also saw Mrs. Lyons fall
Coming to Port, Engineer Houser in
structed the telegraph operator to
wire the Mocanaqua office of the shoot.
ing. DR.. TressleI. of Shickshinny, was
summoned to attend Mrs Lyons, and
upon arriving, found the woman to be
suffering severely from the gunshot
wounds and from the shock, the latter
making recovery a matter of doubt.
Before the noise of tho shot had
died away, an alarm of fire sounded
at Mocanaqua. aud in a few minutes
the sky was brilliantly Illuminated
Five new houses, the property of the
East End Coal Company, and unoc-
cupied, were burned to the ground be-
fore the flames were controlled.
The shooting and the fire are suppos-
ed to be the handiwork of Italians in
that vicinity, who have been causing
much trouble lately. About a year
ago number of Italians attacked the
operator at Retreat and would have
murdered him but for the timely ar
rival of railroad officials, Graves and
Britain.
The crimes of Tuesday night are be
lieved to be from tie hands of the
