DEATH IN A TRAIN WRECK.

Three Burglars Killed by a Freight SmashUp Near Peale, Pa. Clearfield, Pa., Oct. 31.—Three persons were killed on the Beach Creek railroad late Monday night by the wrecking of a freight train about 1 mile west of Peale. It was at first thought that the men were tramps, but upon search being made it was found they were a gang of burglars. Revolvers were found on all but one of the men, as well as a full kit of burglars’ tools, masks, etc. It is supposed they were on their way to this town to crack the county bank. None of the trainmen were injured by the wreck.
