JEALOUS
RIVAL TOOK LIFE
OF RESTAURATEUR

LEWISTON Pa, Sept. S.-woriSmen
returning from the night shift at the
Standard Steel Works found the body
of Michael Smith, forty years old,
along the road leading to lower Bob
town, q suburb OF Burnham, with 4
bullet hole In the left breast and the
finger OF the right hand closed tightly
about. a canvas coin bag containing
the change which he took from the
drawer when he closed the Burnham
Y. M. c. A. restaurant, at . o'clock.
Michael Lamagro, twenty-years old,
a tImekeeper at the Standard, has
been arrested on suspicion OF having
murdered Smith, with jealousy as the
motive, and Miss Nora Lyter, twenty
years old, OF Mount Union, the woman
in the case, Is held as a material wit
ness.
The absence Of powder burns on the
clothing, no weapon found at the
money intact eliminated the suicide
theory first advanced by those finding
the body. s.
Miss Lyter was known TO have
aroused the jealousy OF Lamagro for
his rival, and the finding OF an Ivor
johnson revolver OF large caIIber
along the Kishacoauillas creek In a
direct line between the scene of the
crime and the home of Lamagro led
to their arrest. although no confess
sion could be obtained from him, and
Miss Lyter insists that he spent the
entire night with her, and could not
have committed the. crime.

ST. THEODORE SENT
TO SEAS BOTTOM
BY BRITISH SHELLS

The German raider st. Theodore
peaceful British merchantmen before
her capture by the Moewe-Is no
more. Her fate has just been revealed
by the crew OF an allied cruiser. which
recently coaled at an Atlantic port.
Carrying coal from Norfolk to the
River Plate, the ST. Theodore was
overtaken and made q prize by the
famous raider Moewe.
A few weeks later, having success
fully run the British blockade, the st.
Theodore entered a German port in
safety and the Americans aboard
were subsequently released and al
lowed to return to this country. Then
the ship disappeared from public eye
except for occasional indefinite re-
ports OF her operations.
Flew Dutch Flag.
Not long ago. according to the story
just told by the allied tars, a certain
British patrol boat in The North Sea
overhauled a large merchant steamer
flying the Dutch flag. Upon being
hailed her skipper answered all ques-
tions satisfactorily, but something,
perhaps instinct. aroused the suspi
cions OF the patrol commander and he
determined sts send a searching party
aboard her.
A large patrol boat which was ly-
ing some distance off was signAled
to stand by during the search, and q
boat containing three officers and
several men rowed toward the sup
posed Dutchman. The merchantmen
accommodatingly lowered a compan-
ion ladder for the convenience OF the
boarding party, and apparently was
making a great show of activity in
preparations to receive the Britons.
Sink Small Boat.
The object of the preparations was
made manifest as soon as the boat
came alongside, when a bomb was
hurled from the deck of the supposed
merchantmen into the small boat.
The explosion annihilated the board
ing party. At the same instant tor
pedoes were launched by the Dutch
man" at both patrol vessels. Both the
torpedoes missed their mark, and q
second later broadsides from the pa
troll boats avenged the fate Of their
comrades.
The first round blew the steam
ships upper works to pieces, and .
few minutes firing at the short range
at which the patrol boats lay left
her a shapeless hulk.
