Uniondale – The State Police, while reconnoitering near here, came across an apparently unused road and investigating found it led to an old barn. The door opening of the barn had been enlarged to admit an automobile, which was concealed under some hay. The car was restored to its owner, in Shamokin, having been stolen some time ago. This may be a link to the mystery concerning the murder of Burns Lyon, recently. Reports to the effect that two men had been arrested and charged with murdering and robbing Burns Lyon, two weeks ago, are unfounded.
