KILLED IN MISSOURI,
{ Wash Shafer, formerly of Madisonbuarg,
| Meets with a Fatal Accident,
On Saturday lust a telegram was re-
ceived at Madisonburg making the sad
announcement of the death of Wash.
Shafer, in Missouri, caused by his be-
ing thrown from a wagon while the
horses were running off, near his resi-
{dence in Missouri. He was engaged
{ in hauling bis household effects to the
| railroad station to have them shipped
| to his former home in Madisonburg,
expecting to live there and take care
of his aged father, George Shafer, now
in frail health, and who is thus left be-
reft of the last of his children, a son
and a daughter having gone before a
number of years suigo, as also his first
and second wives, the latter having
{died a few months ago; being lef
alone, his only remaining child, Wash,
| concluded to leave his farm in Missou-
i ri and return to Madisonburg to make
| the Saturday of his father’s life pleas-
{ant as possible, with the above sad re-
sult. These are the particulars as we
| gather from rumor.
The unfortunate young man left his
| home in Miles twp., some 16 years ago
for Missouri, bought a farm, got mar-
ried in his new home and settled down
{to farming, and was an esteemed citi-
zen. His age was about 45 years.
