LONDON, March 7.-George Clancy,
Mayor of Limerick, and Michael O'Cal
laghan, his predecessor in office. were
shot and killed in their homes early
this morning in the presence of their
wives by three masked men. Mrs.
Clancy was wounded in attempting to
defend her husband. Later a young
man named ODonoghue was killed un-
der similar circumstances in his home
by three men. 1t is believed the same
parties committed the three killings,
of each other.
Clancy and O'Callaghan were both
Sim Feners.
The killings were committed at about
2 O'Clock. A knocking on his front
door aroused O'Callaghan and his wife.
The Mayor arose and through the door
asked who was there He was ordered
to come outside, but refused and also
refused to open the door. The door
was burst open and three men wear
ing long coats and google masks rushed
into the house. The intruders told
O'Callaghan that unIess he came out
side the house they would force him to.
Wife Fights for Husband
Mrs. O'Callaghan cried out to her
husband not to go out, and as the three
masked men rushed at O'Callaghan she
threw herself in front of him and
struggled with his assailants. One OF
then they opened fire with revolvers
on O'Callaghan, leaving him dead.
A short while later the same three
men, or others acting with them, Wis
tied Clancy's house, where the same
procedure was followed Clancy went
'lown the stairs. followed by the
Mayoress. and refused to go outside
or open the door. The assailants broke
in the door. and as Mrs. Clancy threw
herself in front Of her husband they
opened fire, killing the Mayor and
wounding the Mayoress in the arm.
Presumably the same men then Wis
ited O'Don0ghue's home. He also was
shot dead.
Hard to Get Help
The affairs took place during the
curfcw hours and 1t was Impossible for
some time to obtain assistance. those
whose attention was attracted by the
knocking on their doors OF who re-
ceived telephone calls being afraid to
venture out. Ultimately doctors and
the police were summoned. The latter
acted as escorts to the friends visiting
the homes of the victims.
Last night two Sim Feiners, "on the
rum" were pursued to farm at Cahir,
Tipperary. One was killed and the
other arrested. Two men were killed
and three others were captured in an
other part of the county last night.
Belief that George Clancy. Mayor of
Limerick, who was SHOT and killed in
that city yesterday, had been slain after
he had come out Of hiding to see his
wife was expressed here last night
by the dead mans brother, Egan, sec

Two Tired Men Found Their Rest.

Once upon time, when we were in
strange place, we were dodgers foi
the night in a house on farm.
II was evening when we came to the
house and was made welcome in it,
And there was an old, old man sitting
in an armchair in a corner, signing.
And we made bold 10 ask if he were
i'll. And the old, old man replied that
he was not i'll; he said he was just
tired-always tired and no way to rest,
And, soon after that, there same into
the house a young man from the field
who said he was tired also--from the
days work. And the old. old man
said. yes, son, but you will be rested
in the morning. And | viii still be
tired, he said
Strange 10 say, however vet
not strange, after all-when m@rning
came the young man had renewed his
energies in the sleep OF youth. His
limbs no longer ached. He was re
freshed and ready for the pillow again
The old man was rested, too. His
ewes were closed, his hands folded.
Rest and peace, also, had come to him
in the night.
Then, a. we two looked sorrowfully
on the old, deserted temple of a soul
