DROWXED IN TI0XESTA CREEK.
Sad Fate of Alplione C. Beeson, of
KclleMrille.
Alphonze C. Beeson, one of the best
known residents of Kellettville, was
drowned In Tlonesta Creek, a short dis
tance below Mayburg, about 9 o'clock
Thursday night, July 16tb, and his body
was recovered about two hours later.
Mr. Beeson, in company with Clarence
Jenkins, the engineer, had taken a loco
motive of the Sheffield A Tlonesta Rail
way and gone to tbe place where the acci
dent occurred to pull an abandoned
wooden pier out of the water, the tim
bers of which Mr. Beeson expected to use
in building a wharf near the Andrews
store at Kellettville. The circumstance
of their working after nigbt is explained
by the fact that the locomotive could not
be bad during the regular working hours.
Just how the accident occurred will never
be known, as Mr. Beeson was alone on
the pier, which stood about twonty feet
out in tbe water, Mr. Jenkins states that
they bad made a line fast to the pier and
had turned It over once or twice. Mr.
Beeson called for some slack to make
another bitch and not hearing from him
after a short interval, tbe engineer called
to bim. Receiving no reply be quickly
instituted a search, holding onto tbe line
and wading into the water. He could
find no trace of him whatever and then
took his locomotive to Kellettville and
gave tbe alarm. A searching party went
to the scene of the accident and after
dragging the creek for about two hours
tbe body of Mr. Beeson was found near
where be sank. It was in fifteen feet of
water and entangled in tbe brandies of a
sunken tree. He could not swim a stroke
and probably never came to tbe eurfaca
after falling in. Tbe only mark on the
body was a slight bruise on the chin.
The body was removed to Kellettville,
where physicians worked over II for
nearly two hours, but tbe spark of life
was gone.
Mr. Beeson was born near Oil City,
December 30, 1800, and was a son of Mrs
Maggie Wilson, of Kellettville, by 1
former marriage. When a small boy he
came to Forest county, where be grew to
manhood, and for the past eighteen years
bad been employed as manager of the
large general store of Mrs. M. Andrews at
Kellettville. He was a man of indomitn
ble energy and enterprise and was sel
dom Idle. Mr. Beeson was an affable and
agreeable gentleman at all times aud
was universally respected by all who
knew bim. His tingle death wbs a
great shock to the entire community.
He was never married. Besides his
mother, he is survived by two sisters and
three brothers.
Mr. Beeson was a member of tbe Ma
sonic fraternity, having reacbod the thirty-second
degree. He was affiliated with
Olive Lodge, No. 557, F. & A. M., of Tlo
nesta, Occidental Chapter and also the
Commandery, of Warren, Zein Zem
Temple A. A. O. N. M. S., of Erie, and
the Consistory at Williamsport.
Funeral services were held at the home
of Mrs. Andrews at Kellettville, Sunday
morning, the services being conducted
by Rev. A.J. Horner, of Mayburg, as
sisted by Rev. R. J. Montgomery, of
Kellettville. The services were very
largely attended. Among those in at
tendance were forty members of the
Warren lodges, who were taken to Kel
lettville and back on a special train,
through tbe kindness of Leon Watson,
superintendent of the S. A T. Ry. Tbe
remains were brought to Tionesta Sun
day afternoon and interred lu Mt. Collins
Cemetery, the services at tbe grave be
ing In charge of Olive Lodge and accord
ing to the beautiful ritual of that order.

Fred Rhodes Fatally Injured.
J Fredrick Rhodes, of Monroeville,
Clarion county, eldest sou of Mr. and
Mrs. Agustus Rhodes, whose farm is lo
cated near Starr postolllce, in Greeu
township, met with an accident near
Bruin, Butler county, which proved fatal
five days afterward. Fred had boen lu
the employ of the B. O. railroad, narrow
gauge system, nearly four years, being
engaged at carpentering. On Tuesday,
July 11, wbile assisting in the removal
of some timber from a trestle a rope
hitched to an upwrlght post gave way
knocking tbe scaffold on which he was
standing from under him, and he foil a
distance of twenty-five feet striking
squarely on his feet and then fell back
ward over some timber. When picked
np by bis companions it was found that
he was paralyzed from bla shoulders
down, and it Is thought the jar of alight
ing on his feet injured the spinal chord,
He was removed to the Butler hospital
where everything possible was done to
make bim comfortable, but on Saturday
morning he breathed bis last, having re
tained consciousness up to within a few
hours of liis death. His loft arm was also
fractured below tbe elbow, and there were
some slight bruises on the left sido of
his face.
Mr. Rhodes was one of the uiost capa
ble men on the road, having in the short
time that he had beeu in its employ risen
from a day laborer to foreman of a crew
of carpenters. There seemed no end to
bis powers of endureuce, and he was sent
lo all sections of tbe road In the rapacity
of master carpenter. He was in bis :i8d
year, having been born October 24, lh75,
and was reared to young manhood
on his father's farm. About four years
ago be was united in marriage with
Miss Dessle Best, of Blair's Corners, Clar
ion county, and she survives bim. Other
survivors are bis parents and three broth
ers, Wm. H., Georgo W., and Henry
Rhodes.
The remains were brought to the old
homestead where the funeral Is being
beld today, with interment In the Zueu
del church cemetery at Starr.
In tbis sad dispensation or Providence
the stricken wile and parents have the
heartful sympathy of all In the commun
ity where the unfortunate man was so
well known and respected.
