Two Centre Countians KILLED oN
{ RAILROAD. —Robert M. Leech, of Shingle-
| town, was killed on the Pennsylvania
8:30 o'clock last Thursday morning, and
| less than twenty-five hours later Charles
| A. Ishler, of Tusseyville, was killed in
| the Altoona yards, both of them by being
| struck by an extra engine the approach of
1 which they failed to notice. -
| Leech went to Altoona about two
! months ago to seek employment on the
railroad but there being no position open
at the time he accepted a job in a restau-
jrant. On January 30th he was given a
| position as fireman on the Pittsburg divi-
| sion of the Pennsylvania railroad and
last Thursday morning was assigned to
!duty on an engine acting as helper on
| an extra freight up the mountain. At
McGarvey's station the train was stopped
!by a red block and Leech got off the
engine and was standing on track No. 2.
! A blinding snow storm was raging at the
| time and he likely failed to see an empty
| engine coming down the mountain in
time to get out of its way, and he was
struck and ‘instantly killed. His skull
and jawbone were fractured, left leg and
both arms broken and his body badly
crushed. Death was instantaneous. The
remains were taken to Altoona and pre-
pared for burial before being shipped to
his old home at Shingletown.
Robert M. Leech was a son of John
(deceased) and Mrs. Eliza Leech. and
was born at Shingletown on January 9th,
1890, so that he was just 22'fyears, 1
month and 13 days old. All his life was
spent in the neighborhood of his birth
until he went to Altoona a short time
ago. He was a member of the Lutheran
church and an industrious young man of
good morals and habits. Surviving him
are his widowed mother, Mrs. Eliza Leech,
and the following brother and sisters:
William, of Boalsburg; Mrs. William
Stewart, of Boalsburg; Mrs. Blaine Brown,
of Tyrone; Mrs. Edna Musser, of State
College, and Miss Anne Leech at home,
One brother, John Leech, was killed in
the Altoona yards almost three years ago
while employed as a fireman. The re-
mains were sent to his late home in
Shingletown on Friday and the funeral
held on Saturday afternoon. The Bear
Meadow Lodge Knights of Malta were
in charge and Rev. Stonecypher officiated
at the services.
HOW CHARLES ISHLER WAS KILLED.
Charles A. Ishler, who was a car in-
spector in the Altoona yards, was killed
at 9:15 o'clock Friday morning. He had
just completed inspecting a train on No.
4 track and stepped back fonto No. 3
track. He failed to notice the approach
of an engine which was being backed
down the track and the crew did2not ob-
serve Ishler in time to stop. He was
struck and knocked down, and when fel-
low workmen reached his side he was
dead. His chest was crushed, right arm
fractured and ieft leg ground off below
the knee. Undertakers were notified who
took the remains and prepared them for
burial.
Deceased was a son of William and
Mrs. Annie Ishler and was born at Tussey-
ville twenty-nine years ago. Seven years
ago he went to Altoona and secured em-
ployment with the Pennsylvania railroad
company and during the past six years
had been a car inspector under foreman
Harry Geesey. He was a member of the
Lutheran church, the Improved Order of
Red Men, the Grand Fraternity and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Relief association.
He was the sole support of his widowed
mother, a man of exemplary habits and
highly esteemed by a wide circle of
friends and fellow employees.
He is survived by his mother and one
sister, Miss Edna, at home. The remains
were taken to the home of his mother at
Tusseyville on Saturday and the funeral
held on Tuesday. Burial was made in
the Tusseyville cemetery.

Rev. HARNISH IN MiSHAP ! RECEIVES
BROKEN ARM.—On Thursday night of
last week Rev. W. K. Harpish, of Le-
mont, whileon his way home from preach-
ing at Filmore, was thrown into Spring
creek by his horse backing the sleigh
over an embankment and not only re-
ceived a good ducking but a broken arm
and had some difficulty in getting out of
the icy waters. He was conducting re-
vival services in the Filmore church and
at their conclusion started for home
through the rain. He was driving along
in the neighborhood of Danial Houser’s
residence on Spring creek when it began
to thunder and lightning. His horse
frightened and the reverend had consid-
erable difficulty holding him in check.
An unusually loud peal of thunder caused
the horse to plunge and start to run. Rev.
Harnish did not lose control of the ani-
mal but after he succeeded in checking
him he began to back and sleigh and all
went over the embankment into the creek.
The reverend gentleman was entangled
in the lines and robes and it was with
some difficulty he freed himself, consid.
ering the fact that his one arm was broken
by the fall, but he finally managed to do
s0 and make his way to the Houser home
where he was taken in and given dry
clothing. Mr. Houser got the preacher's
horse and sleigh out of the creek and
hitching up his own rig drove him to his
home at Lemont so as to permit of his
fractured arm being set as soon as pos-
sible. He is now getting along all right
and suffering very little pain.

80 as to lighten the expense of the cart-
age. The work has been so systematized,

overlooked, by notifying Mrs. J. E. Ward,

to either of the above mentioned places—
the keys of the Bush room to be gotten
from George T. Bush or at the book store
in the Arcade.
——Lee Larimer, of Jersey Shore, son
of Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Larimer, had quite
an experience with two would-be burglars
last Thursday night. His wife's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCullough, are
spending the winter in Florida and their
house is locked up. Thursday night a
passerby noticed some person trying to
break into the McCullough residence and
he at once notified Mr. Larimer by tele.
phone. The latter accompanied by Dr.
house and followed footsteps in the snow
leading up to the front porch. When
Larimer attempted to open the storm
Benjamin F. Schaffer, W. A. Ishler, John
P. Condo, W. M. Cronister, Henry Kline,
W. E. Hurley and A. B. Lee; and ex-
deputies L. A. Schaeffer, L. T. Munson,
W. D. Dukeman, Harry J. Jackson and
them were very interesting. At six o'clock
the dining room doors were thrown open
to the guests and they all gathered around
the table to enjoy a turkey dinner that
was a bird—we mean the turkey, as it
weighed twenty-nine pounds. Mr. Mun-
son, who was host of the party, occupied
the head of the table.
After the ex-officials had made a pris-
oner of everything possible Mr. Wood-
ring was selected as toastmaster and a
number of interesting talks were made
by some of those present. The question
of the inclement weather at this time of
Goodman, both fully armed, went to the ; Bellefonte
year, which no doubt has the effect of
keeping some of the members away from
the reunion, was discussed and it was
decided to hold the next meeting during
warmer weather, at a place and date to
be fixed by the committee of arrange-
ments. It was also decided to include
the ladies,—~wives and swecthearts, at fu-
ture gatherings which will undoubtedly
make them more interesting. Before
leaving for home the members extended
a vote of thanks to Mr. Munson and
Hard P. Harris for the privilege of meet-
ing at the club house and also for the
good dinner served.
——Shortly before twelve o'clock on
Monday fire was discovered in an old
stable on the A. C. Mingle property just
south of the steam heating plant and be-
fore the flames could be extinguished the
stable and an old carpenter shop were
entirely destroyed. The stable was leas-
ed by Harry Rerick who kept his rural
mail delivery outfit there, but he got it
all out safe. Mr. Mingle had seventy-
five dollars insurance on the buildings.
