Ararat - This little town was thrown into a state of greatest excitement on Monday morning by the killing of a burglar, and its attending exciting events. At half past one six masked men broke into the power house of the Traction Co., at Mayfield, injured three employees and took the cash box. They proceeded to Carbondale and boarded a freight train going north. At Forest City they were ordered off but produced a gun and demanded of the conductor that they move on. Conductor Robbins shut the door of the box car on them, locked it, and telegraphed ahead to Uniondale to have the constable take the prisoners.

Before Uniondale the robbers suspected something wrong and forced open the door and jumped out and ran ahead. Suspecting they would board again, Conductor Robins had a telegram sent on to Mt. Ararat to have a posse at the station. Sure enough, all six of the gang again boarded the train.

The operator at Ararat, upon receiving the message from Uniondale, hastily summoned Hotelkeeper "Bill" Leach and Miller Jesse M. Vailes and other men and boys. Leach brought along his repeating Winchester rifle and Vailes had a revolver.

Leach and Vailes went over to the car and in the name of the law ordered the men to come out and surrender. They refused and began to scramble out of the car continuing to fire as they emerged. They did not know their man. Leach is an old hunter and a sure shot. When he first touched the trigger there was a flash, a quick report and then the dead face of a burglar staring at the stars. He fired again and a second burglar's arm was torn to shreds. A third shot and another fell, shot in the back and through the right lung. The remaining three escaped and fled in the direction of Thomson.

The two wounded men were taken to Lackawanna hospital in Scranton. The one who was shot through the body is a mere boy not over 18, giving his name as James Kelly of Ashley. The other is apparently 30 years of age, giving his name as James Cummings, of Logansport, Ind. Constables Moran, Woodmansee and Neary followed the route taken by the pair and after a brief search came upon their trail. Following the footprints in the soft snow the officers, after a 3 mile tramp, came upon their men in a patch of woods. One gave his name as William Zerby and the other Joseph Leonard.

The dead burglar was photographed and buried at Ararat without being identified. He looked to be about 40 years of age. There was no funeral cortege and no one to mourn. The wounded pals refused to tell his name. He is buried in an unknown grave marked by a wooden slab of pine.
