[Times-Star Special Dispatch]
PITTSBURG, Pa. October 31. – Simeon Donahoe, 45 years old, is dead; William Mordew has a bullet wound in his arm, and the police are searching for Clifford Hawley, as a result of a fight growing out of a political argument here last midnight.  Hawley and three other men were in Harry Timms’s restaurant at Masontown, Pa., when Donahoe entered. Donahoe and Hawley engaged in conversation, which ended in a political discussion.  William Mordew, who occupies a room above the restaurant stepped between the two men and ordered them to desist.  For answer, it is alleged, Hawley fired twice with a revolver held in his coat pocket.  The first bullet struck Mordew in the right arm, inflicting a serious wound.  The second lodged in Donahoe’s stomach.  Donahoe died within five minutes.  Hawley escaped.  His home is in Addyston, Hamilton county, O., where he has a wife and one child.  Coroner A. S. Hagan held an inquest this morning, and the jury charged Hawley with murder.
