A Young Fellow Shoots a Burglar and Is Shot in Return. Article Text: Ravenna, O., July 28.--Pierce CONVERSE of San Antonio, Tex., visiting at the home of N. CONVERSE, a wealthy merchant here, shot a burglar, who gives his name as Frank EDWARDS of Philadelphia, just before daylight this morning. The burglar returned the shot doubly, two balls taking effect. The knight of the jimmy received a terrible wound in the abdomen, but escaped with the lad's clothes, only to fall on a neighbor's porch moaning in agony. He was removed to a cell in the county jail. It is thought both will die. Pierce CONVERSE was accompanied here by his grandmother, Mrs. A. C. ALLEN of Houston, Tex., who is known to have a great deal of money. He had a presentment of a plot to rob her, and slept on a cot at the door of her room. It is thought EDWARDS followed them from Texas. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ OH-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
