J., July 16.?There is no sympathy here for Edward Polhamus, of Delmont, who is dying from two bullet wounds; but his daughter, Helen, who fired the shots last night, is cheered by every man and woman in town.

She fired a9 he was bent on murder and then she 9aved her father from lynching even in his wounded and helpless condition, at the hands of the men of the village. She met the would-be avengers face to face and pleaded with them. "Heeannotdo any harm now," she said. "Please leave him for God to take care of," and Miss Helen won out. The villagers went away. And not a man suggests putting Helen in jail for her act. She gave herself up to I Justice Beckley, but he sent her away on her own recognizance, though prominent citizens offered bail in any amount if needed. Polhamus is said to have brooded over family trouble. He took to drink and while drunk is alleged to have made a public threat to kill his family and himself and to end his troubles.
