engine. It struck A. Marti. i Fisher
on the left temple and fractured his
skull. Mr. Fisher, who is a track
hand, had lieen on duty at the tower
watching lor danger from a land
slide in wet weather. He was taken
to his home in Mapleton uncon
scious, and died on Wednesday even
ing, following at 9 o'clock. He was
40 years old and had a wife and
three children. W. I). McDougall

piece of slate from his engine that
killed Mr. Fisher of Mapleton. He
feels very sorry for his act.
Mr. Geo. T. Kepner's Snyder
county cattle sale came off on sched

at which figure 27 fine steers were
struck off to Mr. Gurman of Rich

were sold at prices ranging from
$4.20 down to $3.85 per hundred.
The sale was held at tlie Eagle Ho
tel at the railroad station, W. 8.
Arbogast, formerly ot the Jacobs
House, MifHintown. He proved
fully able to accommodate the large
crowd in attendance. Mr. Kepner
expects to continue on in tho line of
cattle sales, and will in the near fu
ture have another, ot which due no
tice will be given. Dr. R. R. Cro

Sotfand Liutersteiu are now hav

communication with any jniint in the

The Long Distance Telephone
Line will be built through Snyder
county early next Spring. This
Company needs more wires for bus
iness requirements and instead ot
running other wires by way of Har
risburg, they will run them through
Snyder county. The revenue from
Snyder county business seems to lie
a secondary consideration, though
pny stations will lie established and
business men will have the oppor
tunity of securing phones for long
distaice business.
