Charged With the Assassination Of
tackle dragged the ground with its
ropes.
1t was the work of q minute to con-
vince q thick-headed policeman that
the attempt was feasible and should
be permitted. 1t was the work of less
than another minute to rig a loop In
the line and fasten round his body
beneath the arms. Volunteers did not
lack; a couple Of husky longshoremen
sprang to the ropes at his first call.
They heaved with a will. His feet left
the ground, he scared. he caught the
caves OF the shed-roof. and shouting to
cease hauling, drew himself up on this
last, backed a little ways down 1t and
calculating his direction aicely, with
a running jump launched himself out
over the street.
The Momentum Of his leap carried
him well out over the heads OF the
throng assembled In the street and
truly toward that window where Rose
was waiting. Then Its force slack
ened. For an awful instant he be-
lieved that he had failed. But with the
last expiring ounce Of impetus. he was
brought within grasping distance of
the window sill.
Hauling himself up he gathered her
into his arms
A great tongue Of tawny flame licked
angrily out of the windows as he
swung her back to safety.

Johnstown Man Pays
A Forty Year Old Debt

E. III. Griffith, of Marion Center,
has received the third and last
payment on a very old debt from
"a man now residing in Johnstown.
About forty years ago a resident
of Marion Center was overcome
by misfortune and was unable to
pay his debts. He left to wirk in
Johnstown, walking almost the en-
tire distance to that town. He
owed Mr.. Griffith a bill and the
Marion Center man long ago lost
trace of the man. He had forgot
ten about the bill until few
months ago, when the debtor, now
"a very old man, walked into Mr..
Griffith s store, told who he was
and made first payment on the
bill. He later made a second and
finally the last payment. The
Johnstown resident said he had
never been able to pay the bill un-
til now.

Between 700 and 800 Mems Lives
Are Snuffed Out in Marine Dis
aster When British Warship
Bulwark Is Destroyed by Mys-
terious Means.
WAVES QUICKLY SWALLOW
GREAT FLOATING FORTRESS.

Sheerness, Eng, Nov. 26 (via
London)-The British battleship
Bulwark was destroyed by terri
fc explosion as she lay off here
this morning. There are only IA
survivors from the crew of 700 or
500 men who were aboard. The ex-
plosion is believed to have occur
red in her forward magazine.
Whether it was caused by accident
or design is question to be deter
mined by the commission which
has been appointed to investigate.
In the opinion of naval men it
was an internal explosion that put
an end to the battleship, which for
y years had done service at home
and abroad, and lately had been
doing her part in guarding Eng
land s shores. There was no great
upheaval of water such as would
have occurred if she had been tor
pedoed or struck by a mine. In
stead the ship was enveloped in
smoke and flames and when this
had cleared nothing could be seen
but wreckage floating on the wa
ter.

Motorman Kier, of the Clymer

N0SOn Held On
Murder GIIIge
Tells Almost Improbable Story of
Death of His Brother-in-Law
SAYS he INTENDED TO END
OWN LIFE

Accident or murder is the ques-
ton that confrontS Indiana coun-
ty authorities in the death of John
Roof, aged 40 years at Homer City
last Monday evening. Roof was
shot and was later run over and
badly mangled by the Pennsylv-
MIA passenger train on its last trip
south that evening. As none of
the train crew knew that a man
had been run over until informed
of the accident by the county au-
thorities, the story of Samuel Ma
son, a brother-in-law of the dead
man, who is in the county Jail on
a charge of murder, is the only ex-
PLANTATION of Roofs death.
Mason lives at Strangford, near
Blairsville. He and Roof married
sisters by the name of Starry.
Mason declares that he has been
having domestic trouble and he
came to Homer City Monday
morning to talk matters over with
Roof. They spent the day togeth-
er, Mason intending to return to
his home that evening.
According to Mason, he aad
Roof were standing near Roofs
home along the railroad track,
near the incubator works Monday
night. Mason had been drinking
and reciting the story of his do
nestle troubles to Roof, his broth
er-in-law. Mason drew a revolver
and, remarking to Roof that he
would end his troubles pointed the
weapon at his head Roof made
an effort to secure the gun and in
the scuffle that followed it was
discharged, the ball striking Roof
Mason declared that he ran for aid
for the injured man and that dur
ing his absence Roof staggered up
on the railroad tracks and was hit
by the southbound train, which
passed a moment after the shoot
ing.
Returning to Roof Mason dis
covered the accident" and notified
the authorities. A warrant was
issued by Justice of the Peace
Weir and his arrest followed. Ma
son was brought to the county jail
by Constable Griffith late Monday
night.
Residents of Homer City tell a
different story, however. They de-
clare that shot was heard just as
the train passed and allege that
Roof either fell or was pushed in
front of the train during a scuffie.
Roof was employed in the mines
at Homer City and leaves wife
and five children. Mason says
Roof had not been drinking prevk
Gus to the accident.
Coroner II. B. Buterbaugh held
an inquest Tuesday, at which a
verdict was rendered holding Ma
son responsible for the death of
his brother-in-law. Mason has a
wife and three children.
