A Fatal Accident. Special Correspondence, A very sad accident occured about one mile noitli-w'esi of this place 011 Wednea day, January 20. about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which resulted in the death of Frank McGuire about two hours later. Charley McGuire, an older brother, had a job of hauling logs to the Laval Sock Creek. CH Wednesday as he re lumed from a trip to the creek he called at his home to get Frank togo with him to the woods about a half mile distant to help liitn put on a load of logs. At first Frank objected togo, saying that it was not safe tor them to load the logs alone. When they had loaded on the bottom course of logs and started to roll quite a j;ood sized log on top; when they got i'. part way up, it being somewhat crooked, Frank went over on the other side of the sleds and took as he thought a good hold wiih his canthook, saving, "let it come." Charley started 10 roll it on; the log be inn crooked and slipery it swung around. ' Frank having the canthook on his shoul- j der, his feet slipped and he fell, the log ' rolling on top ol him, crushing his head between that and the other log. Charley J rolled the log ott of him as soon as he could, being terribly frightened, and rais-! Ed hi- head up, when the blood spurted out of his ears and mouth and he said, '•lav me down Charley, I feel so bad." I lie only spoke once alter this. Charley ; rolled the logs oil the sleds and lilted him on as carefully as lie could and drove home; bin mother seeing them drive up, fainted. He called to Win. Wheatley, who lives nearby to assist in carrying Frank into the house. Charley jumped into a cutter and drove to Forksville as f.iMt a» hori-e llesh could go; Drs. Gross and Woodhead responding to the call in all |ios.-ible haste. Frank died about twenty minutes before the doctors arrived. One side of his head and face was so crushed that the arteries in his head were rupiured that he literally bled to death. Frank was born at Proctor, Lycoming county, November 2li, 1879, and died ■lanuarv 20, IS9B, being ».ime ot his heath, 19 years, 2 months and 4 days. His remains were interred at Sugar Ridge cemetery, lie was a sober, industrious hard working young man; never idle when there was work to be done. lie was quiet and unassuming,one who would raiher listen than talk himself, enjoyed a quiet and innocent joke, and one of the best natuied boys the writer ever met; always having a good word lor everyone, Ue was never better pleased than when he was doing some kind act lor his widow ed mother or his sister he leaves to mourn his loss.
