(Didn't get all of title of article) Barn by a Mastiff.
A daring attempt was made last night to steal a horse and wagon from the
barn of William WELDER, in the town of Gates. WELDER lives about a mile and
a half outside the city and he has frequently been bothered by thieves and tramps.
Some time ago he got a big bull dog and a mastiff and these he has trained to
watch his premises.
A few days ago the bull dog was poisoned and in the light of what occurred
last night at WELDER's farm, it is thought that thieves poisoned the dogs to
making a raid on the barn. About midnight last night Mr. WELDER was awakened
by the barking of the mastiff. Mr. WELDER got up, dressed and hastened to the
barn. While on the way to the barn he heard the dog yelp as though he had been
struck by someone. When he reached the barn Mr. WELDER found one of his best
horses hitched to a road wagon and all ready to be driven away. Some distance
across the fields he could see what appeared to be the forms of two men. It
is supposed they were the thieves and that they had been driven away by the
dog.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
A Wilkesbarre Priest Shot at While Returning from a Pastoral Call
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 14 - Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning, an attempt was made to assassinate Rev. Father Theophilus BLAZNOKI, pastor of the Polish independent church of this city. There has been trouble brewing in the church for some time past, one faction opposing the pastor and another faction esponsing his cause.
Shortly after midnight an unknown man called at the parochial residence and requested the priest to accompany him to the house of a friend, who was very ill. The way led to a lonely spot near a railroad, where the priest saw men standing in the shadow of a building. His suspicions were aroused, and he suddenly turned and retraced his steps. The two men accompanying him did not attempt to follow.
Arriving home Father BLAZNOSKI lighted the gas in the parlor and sat down to make a memorandum. He had hardly gotten seated when a bullet crashed through the window and came within an inch of striking the priest in the head. Greatly alarmed, he telephoned to police headquarters. Several policemen responded, but they made no arrests. One officer remained on guard the remainder of the night.
The church of which Father BLAZNOSKI is pastor, has the largest congregation
of any parish church in the anthracite coal region. The priest is a man of American
ideas and much respected in the community.
