FATALLY INJURED.
Watson Wright Meets a Terrible
Death.
Victim of an Accident While j
Returning Home to Friends j
From a Hospital. Both Hi.i
Legs Cut Off.
Watson Wright, for many year
a prosperous farmer in Elk land town
ship, met a terrible death last Thur
day night along the railroad trai K
near Norristown, Pa. He was found
dying along the track with both legs
cut oft', suffering intense pain, expir- j
ing a short time after being cared ;
for.
Mr. Wright had been receiving:
treatment at a Philadelphia hospital,
during the past mouth and was on j
his way home. Before leaving the j
city he purchased a team of horses
and for some reason was traveling
on the same train that carried his
team. At a point near Norristown
the freight train was sidetracked to
give the main line to the Canon
Ball ux press train which passed that
point about ten o'clock in the eve
ning. As the train was standing
one of the breakmen came to the
caboose and told Mr. Wright that
one of his horses was sick and he
went up to the car to see what was
wrong.
After the express train bad passed,
the freight pulled on and no notice
was taken of Mr. Wright by the
train crew. A few hours after a
trackman while passing along the
siding found Mr. Wright laying by
the track with both legs cut off and
almos tunconscious, groaning with
intense pain and weakened with loss
of blood. He yet had life enough to
tell who be wa-> and where he was
from, but bow the accident occured
no one knows. He was carried to
a nearby station in an unconscious
condition and sent on the next train
to a Philadelphia hospital where he
died a few minutes later.
Word was telegraphed to his son
in-law ('has. E. 1 laight of Forksville
who brought the body to the late
home of the deceased on Saturday.
The sad affair was painfully shocking i
to the country side where be has long
been known and held in high re
gards. He leaves a family of live
grown children to mourn the loss of
a kind father. The funeral service
was held on Monday.
The horse that had taken sick in
the car died before reaching Dushore.
Still Tallinn Testimony in the Injunction
Case Against Striking Miners.
Judge Little held court again hist
week in the injunction case against
the striking miners of Bernice. The
principal evidence in the case was
given by two detectives who bad
been sent among the striking miners
by the Company. Their testimony
was along the same line as given at
the previous bearing, but was heigh
tened a little by their fluent manner
iu testifying. Court adjourned until
Wednesday of this week when it is
expected to finish all the testimony
on both sides.
FELL IN DANGEROUS PLACE.
A. E. Tripp Has Narrow Escape i'roni
Death While Wording an Dam,
Street Commissioner A. E. Tripp
had a narrow escape from drowning
Saturday morning while at work
at tin l outlet of Lake Mokonta trying
to enlarge the capacity of the over
flow. The lever on whice he was
lifting slipped its bold and Mr.
Tripp went headforemost to the hot
tow of the lake at the mouth of the
outlet. A bridge crosses the sluice
which wtts tilled within a few inches
to the bridge and running with ter
rific force to a torrent below. As
Eugene came up he was caught in
the current and overpoweml, but
as he was whirled to the mouth of
the sluice be luckily caught the end
of the bridge with his arms and with
the aid of Win. Shoemaker who was
present held on until assistance could
arrive to pull him out from beneath
the bridge which was found to be
a dltttcuft task, be being almost
helpless in the powerful current.
RAIN DOES MUCH DAMAGE.
FLOOD AT SONESTOWN.
i High Water Havngcs in this Hnction of
the State. Much Damage to Property
in This County.
The worst down pour of rain ever
know to the "oldest inhabitant"
that visited this section of the state
Saturday, <li<l much damage to prop
erty in idl parts of Sullivan county.
Thousands of dollars will be requir
ed to replace bridges washed away
and damage done to roads. Some
farmers around Dushore are heavy
losers, the top soil of their land be
ing almost entirely washed away.
Washouts and landslides caused a
suspension of trattic along the W. &
N. B. road until late in the afternoon.
The L. V. road was also badly crip
pled all day Saturday.
CREEKS ON RAMPAGE.
Water poured over the breast of
Lake Mokomadam, the outlet being
entirely too inadequate to carry off
the overflow as it has always done
before. A small run at Itingdale
rose so high and flowed with such
force as to roll rocks along its course
that one team of horses could not
move. Scores of houses in the low
lands along the Muney creek was
flooded. The old splash dam above
Sonestown went out which for a time
imperiled life and property.
The storm was general from Pitts
burgh to New York City. At Mauch
Chunk four persons drowned by be
ing caught in the current running
through a street and carried to the
raging torrents of the Lehigh.
