ARMSTRONG, MCGUIRE

On Saturday last, Wm. ARMSTRONG, a driller at the Moorhead No. 2, while filling some torches with oil, was severely burned about the breast and face by the oil taking fire and exploding. He was removed to the Caldwell House, McDonald, where he died Sunday evening. ARMSTRONG was about 22 years old, and lived with his parents near Cecil.



Tuesday evening, at Walker's Mills, two intoxicated men, John MCGUIRE, a coal miner, and Charles SHANNON, a quarryman, engaged in a sparring match and MCGUIRE was knocked over a barrel and died in a few minutes. Whether it was a fight or a friendly boxing match is uncertain. SHANNON was lodged in jail in Pittsburg to await the action of a coroner's jury and possibly that of a grand jury and a petit jury to try him for murder.
