| Fourth of July, W. H. Fishburn, of
! Grand Island, Hall county, Neb., with
+8 few of his neighbors and two of his
sons, went to the Platte river to spend
the day fishing. The party consisied of
seven men and some boys. They were
fishing with a sein, the current being
strong and the water very deep in
places. Tom Fishburn, aged 19, the
youngest son of W. H. Fishburn, stepped
off into deep waler and was carried by
the swift current into a whirlpool. Be-
ing unable to swim he could not help
bimself. Peter McCullough, one of the
party, & good swimmer, made a heroic
effort to save him. He swam in, got
bold of Tom but owing to the strong
current and the weight of the drowning
man being two hundred and ten pounds,
McCullough could not manage him.
were lost, until they came to the surface
and McCullough lost his hold on Fish-
burn and with a narrow escape saved his
own life. Fishburn weft down for the
last time.
The party, through the excitement of
saving Tom, lost sight of Will, the older
brother, aged twenty-two, and when he
was again seen he too was going down
for the last time. Not one of the party
can tell much about Will, but it is sup-
posed that through the excitement of
he forgot that he too was unable to
swim and gave his own life in trying to
save his brother’s. Wa can only imag-
ine this scene to a grief stricken father
standing on the banks of the river con-
scious of his inability to save his sons
who were drowning before his eyes.
The search for the bodies was then be.
gun. It was not long before one was
found three-fourths of a mile dowa-the
stream. The bodies were then placed in
a wagon and the sad party started on
their homeward journey, a distance of
nine miles. The grief-stricken father |
was taken home as quickly as possible,
carrying the sad news to his only
daughter and sister of the drowned men.
Daniel, now the only son, was at Lin~
coln at the time and arrived home bare-
ly in time to witness the burial of hig
brothers. The loss of these two young
men is sadly felt by a large community »
as they were highly esteemed by all who
knew them.
Here we will draw the attention of
the reader, to the Fishburn family as
esidents of Centre county. Fourteen
years ago W. H. Fishburn with his wife,
whose maiden name was Mary J. Houe-
er, and his four children, moved from
Centre county to Hall county, Neb.,
fourteen months after, his wife was
stricken with disease and after an illness
of two weeks died. The date of her death
is July 6th, 1883.
Twelve years have passed and the
funeral services of her two sons took
place on July 6th, 1895, the twelfth an-
niversary of her death.
Peter McCullough, who made the he.
roic effort to save the drowning man,
was also at one time a resident of Belle-
fonte.

PROBABLE FATAL ACCIDENT aT
CURTIN’S YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Elmer Barger, a 23 year old son of
James Barger, of Curtin’s Works, was
run over by a west bound freight train
and possibly fatally injured. He was
sitting on the middle of the track, just
a short distance above the station when
the train approached and when he did |
not move, in response to thé repeated i
whistling of the locomotive, an attempt
was made to slop the train, but it was too
lato. The engine and seven cars passed
over him, tearing and mangling his
body ia a terrible manner. The train
stopped immediately and the young
man was taken out from under the cars
and carried to his home by the train-
men and some others who were about
the station, when the accident occurred:
Dr. Hoy was immediately summoned
from this place and was joined by Dr.
Locke who went down on the train
shortly afterwards. They found it-neces-
sary to amputate the left leg and left
arm. The operation was performed last
evening at 7 o’clock and up to the time
of our going to press it was not known
whether the unfortunate young man
would survive it or not. He was badly
cut about the head and may have suf-
fered internal injuries. The doctors
expressed little hope of his recovery.
He is a grand son of Centre county’s
oldest woman, ‘Grand-ma’ Barger,
aged 104 years.
SusPECTED oF Post OFFICE Ros-
BING.—Saturday night officers Mont-
gomery and Gares arrested two men
closely answering the description of the
fellows wanted for robbing Parker’s
store and the post office at Roland on
June 18th. They registered at jail as
Edward Hanahan, aged 24, single,
| Williamsport, and James O'Neil, aged
30, single, Altoona. ;
The nen had been seen about town
all day and would have been taken for
ordinary tramps had it not been for
their uneasy, shifty movements. They
got drunk towards evening and were
promptly arrested. A new revolver was
found on O’Neil, while Hanahan carried
a razor in a black oil-cloth case.
The officers ‘said nothing of their sus-
picions that they bad the Roland rob-
bers until J. M. Parker, the proprietor
of the store down there, with his clerk,
Mr. Wantz, bad been sent for. They
arrived Sunday morning and the latter
positively identified O'Neil as the man
who bad threatened to shoot him in bed
that night; while several other people
remembered having seen them about the
village during the day. The Belle-
fonte officers were given a clue as to who
the men were by a resident of Curtin’s
Works who was in town that day and
recognized them as the fellows who had
loafed about the store the day before the
robbery. There was another man in the
party, but he eluded the officers and got
away. He was arrested at Lock Haven,
on Monday, after having -given our of-
ficers the slip by going to the Intersec-
tion and boarding a freight for that
place. The third suspect gave his name
as George Noll.
The post office authorities at Pitts-
burg were notifled and the U. S. inspec-
had lived there during the whole of his
life of 72 years. He had suffered with
dropsy for some time and occasionally
was troubled with an uneasiness about
his heart, but he was able to be abut
all the time and was in this place to at-
tend the Democratic county conven tion
the early part of June. Up to the day
before his death nothing alarming had
developed in bis condition and when he
retired there was nothing to indicate his
nearness to death, During the night,
however, he was taken suddenly 111 and
wes dead at 8 o'clock Saturday mo rn-
ing.
Deceased is survived by a wife with
four grown children. The funeral was
held Sunday morning at 10 o’clock, ser-
vices baving been held in thé Lutheran
church and interment made in thé ad-
jacent cemetery. Rev. C. T. Aikens,
of Pine Grove Mills, officiated, assisted
by Rev. Krider. n
Mr. Harpster was a pleasant old man
whom every one respected.
Mrs. James Parsons died at her home
three miles above Unionville, on Thars-
day of last week. She had suffered
more or less for almost a score of years
and her death was a release from a weari-
ed existence. She was 70 years old and
leaves & hushand with five children to
moura her death. Deceased became a
member of the Methodist church when
only 17 years old and lived uprigatly in
that faith until the time of her death.
Rev. J. Zeigler officiated at her burial,
on Sunday.

them for the robbing of his store. They

chandise; among the latter being some

A TRILBY IN THE CENTRE COUNTY
JArL.—Sheriff Condo has to do with
wany whims indulged by the prisoners
of different temperament who come un-
det his care, but the original creations of
George Goodman, who 18 awaiting trial
i for a serious crime, have lost their funny
side and on Sunday the Sheriff had to
promise him a good thrashing before he
would consent to lay aside his fad.
It appears that Goodman insisted on
appearing in a pair of knee breeches,
without ‘stockings or shoes, and as his
“Trilbies” were not any too prepossess-
ing in appearance there was a general
expression of disapproval among the
other prisoners. Goodman stood out
for his bare legs and feet, however, for
four duys, On Saturday the Sheriff
bought bim new trousers, but he did not
i put them on until told that some one
else would do it for him unless he did.
On Sunday morning he appeared in the
new trousers for breakfast, but soon
after had the knickerbockers on again:
This exasperated the Sheriff and calling
his deputy they went to the cell and tore
the old breeches off him. Then he was
told that if he ventured out of his cell
without his new clothes on he would be
flogged. It is needless to say he has
been zealously guarding against such
treatment.
Opp FEerLLows PicNic.—On Satur-
day, July 20th, the Nittany valley
lodge No. 1054, I. O. O. F., will hold
their second annual picnic at Hecla

people and a general good time is assur-
