Died In Prison- The announcement of the death of Ira Sanborn, in a Philadelphia pri son, for the murder of daughter-in-law and (yarn! child, has clccitcd a great deal of attention among railroad men because his being formerly employ ed as an 'engineer, on the Phila delphia iV Reading's Catawissa branch running f.-etween Loft, and Cata wissa, for many years. He had the reputation of being one of the fastest engineers that ever took hold of a throttle. Sajiborn had only one very bad orality which frequently got him into trouble and this was his violent temper. It was the cause of his losing his position with the Reading some years ago, after which he re moved to Philadelphia to reside with his son. Me was a man of "powerful stature having been 6 "aet4 inches in height, and weigh ting over 200 pounds. The act which brought his career on the Catawibsa branch to a close, oc cured one night while making a trip from Catawissa to Lofty. He and his fireman, Harry Campbell had some very angry words while climbing up the grant' near Mainville. He charged furiously on the fireman, who took refuge on the train knowing full well the desperate nature of the big engin eer. Campbell returned to the engine, and when approaching the bridge near Ringtown, Sanborn seized him in his arms, and threatened to dash him to death 165 feet below. He begged for mercy, and escaped to an empty freight car. Sanborn fired and ran the engine the remaining part of the run, and brought his train in on time to Catawissa on the return trip. After this he was unable to secure any work under the Reading, a circumstance which caused him to develop more desperate tendencies. In a moment of rage iie committed the double murder with which he was charged when he expired. Ashland Telegram. Miss Klys, after a visit of several weeks to Mrs. J. L.
