The Wounded Man Died.

  Thomas Burke, the young man who was shot near Nicktown, Cambria 
county, died from the effects of his wound at his home near 
Strongstown, Indiana county, on Monday.  The shooting occurred on 
October 7, since which time Burke has been living with a bullet in his 
brain.  Although the murdered man was a resident of Indiana county, the 
case, if a charge is made, will have to be tried in Indiana county, as 
it was within her lines the deed was committed.
