Earnest Flick, agad 12 years, a son of Henry Flick of Dutfytown -sth ward was run over bj the cars at Greenville vesterday: and report has it that both his legs were cnt off and that he was not expected to live. The boy was in the habit of leaving his home, and this time was headed for Buffalo. The P. & W. passenger train which leaves Butler for Callery at 4:05 p. m. Sunday afternoons, and north bound local freight under conductor Henshaw , collided at the siding below the Kalb farm Suuday. The trains were brought nearly to a standstill before striking and the only damage done was the derailing of the passenger engine and smashing of its fender and the jolting of pas-ingers. Harry Wilson aged 21 years son of B. T. Wilson of Glade Run. was fatally scalded while pumping an oil well at Bula, W. Va. The crown sheet of the boiler blew out, and blew him out of the boiler house. His father brought his body home. Robert Martin, formerly of Evans C'itv. a brother of Mis W. II Young and Mrs. I. J. Mcßride of Butler met with'a terrible death while working on an oil well on the Bauerlein farm, in Shsler township Allegheny Co., about two miles from Etna. The accident which caused Martin's death was a very peculiar vine, and a fellow-workman, L. I. Nntt, narrowly escaged sharing the same fate. Both men were engaged in splicing a sand line. The line is of i in. wire rope. Abont 1000 feet of this line was down the well, which was about 1,600 feet deep. Martin and Nutt were splicing a 200-foot piece to the 1,000 feet already in the well. The upper end of the long piece was hitched to the upper works of the derrick, When the work had almost been com pleted. one of the other men working about the well noticed that the hitching on the long sand line was working loose. He called to Nu*t and Martin to be care ful. Nntt realized the danger and jumped away, just as the hitching broke. Martin was in such a position that he could not move quickly and was caught. The long piece of sandline weighed about 800 pounds, and when its hitching gave way the weight started dropping to the bottom of the well. The splicing was strong enough to hold and the short piece of line which was free, immediately began to switch about as though charged with electricity. Before Martin could move he was com pletely enmeshed in the folds of the cable and his body wag thrown about the derrick and beaten against posts until his fellow-workman, wk > were IK)werlesa to aid him. turned away at the si^ht. Finally the bruised and battered body was thrown free of the line and outside the derrick. He had been terribly bat tered and was barely alive When aid reached him. His chest was crushed and many bones in his body were broken Martin lived at No. 1301 Juniata street Allegheny, and is survived by a wife and five children. A brother, William Martin, is in the employ of the Pitts burg Department of Public Safety. School Notes.
