Pa., Dec. 2S.—Death of j\n entire family was averted yester day almost by a miracle, at the Benne vil Mench crossing of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, about a mile west of Miflllnburg. John F. Swartz with his wife and family of four young chil dren, living on the Aurand farm in West Buffalo township, were enroute to his father's home in a large bob sled to which were attached a team of spfrited horses. Just as the party reached the crossing a special train approached and struck the rear por tion of the sled, hurling it with terri fic force with its occupants down the stlep embankment at the side of the track. A safety rail prevented it from falling into a deep creek at the foot of the slope. Mrs. Swartz was uncon scious and probably sustained internal injuries. Mr. Swartz and the chil dren received numerous lacerations and bruises. Helen, an 11-vear-old girl, had her nose broken and face: hadty bruised. The horses ran away. | but were caught at the edge of Mittl inburg. Q3I II IO» " "-J MAY each o* yo' gifts fill an empty place in somebody's heart.
