HBTRICK BURIED WEDNESDAY.
James Ohls, Althonrh'Tembly Burned,
Will Recover Is in DuBois Hospital.
Mention was made in The Star last
week that Homer Hetrtck had been
burned to death la a shanty at Camp
Run abouteleven o'clock Tuesday nlgbt,
February 26, 1907, and that his "butty,"
James Ohls, narrowly escaped the same
fate as Hetrlck. Ohls was terribly
burned. He was taken to DuBols Hos
pital Wednesday forenoon.
As stated last, week the young men,
whose parents reside near EmerickvUle,
were "batching" in a shanty at Camp
Run and working in the coal mine for
Anita Coal Company. They had not
worked for several days and bad been
at home of their parents. Tuesday
afternoon they returned to Ca,mp Run
and worked in mine until ten o'clock
Tuesday night. They got supper at
shanty after quitting work and then
retired, leaving a hot fire in the cook
s'ove. About 11.15 Ohls awakened and
found the shaty full of fire and smoke.
He called for Hetrlck to get up, but
was so excited and confused did not
know whether Hetrlck had gotten out
before him or not. There was two kegs
of powder In the shanty and one keg ex
ploded before Ohls got out and the
other one exploded juBt after he got
out of shanty. Hetrick'a charred body
was found near the window and it is
supposed he was attempting to get out
when the second keg of powder ex
ploded near him and he was overcome.
The boys were "batching" In part of an
old planing mill, which was dry pine
lumber, and It burned very rapidly. It
is not known how the shanty caught
fire, but likely from a hot coal dropping
from stove.
Homer Hetrlck would have been
seventeen ' years old last Saturday,
March 2nd. Was the son of George
Hetrlck. Funeral service was hold in
the Lutheran church at EmerickvUle
Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. J. W. Myers, of Reynoldsville.

Lutheran cemetery the same afternoon.
Hughes & Fleming, of Reynoldsville,

James Ohls, who Is only eighteen
years old, Is the son of William Ohls.
Both Hetrlck and Ohls are highly
spoken of.
Basket Ball Affairs.
The game of basket ball between the
Brookville and Reynoldsville high
school teams announced for last Friday
night was cancelled and a new date
March 8th made. The contest will
take place In Evans skating rink at
ReynolJbvllle. ,
The regular Reynoldsville team of
basket ball players went to Falls Creek
Wednesday evening of last' week and
bad a lively argument with a five of
that city. The score was 25 to 23 in
favor of Reynoldsville and its closeness
throughout made the game unusually.
exciting.
Brookville sent a delegation of
athletes to Reynoldsville Thursday
evening to contest for honors with the
Reynoldsville basket ball team. They
were all fair piayers Individually but
lacked team work, due to the fact that
it was the first game In which they had
ever played together. The game was
even for five ralnutcB but thereafter the
boys from the county seat were merely
lookers-on. The Reynoldsville players
were sore frem the previous night's
contest at Falls Crook and there was no
brilliant playing to shout ever. Final
score, Reynoldsville 51, Brookville 18.

Fault finding instead of commenda

such conditions do not exist in any home
In Reynoldsville. Come to think of It,
there Is a possibility that in a few
homes la town such condition of un
pleasantness might be found. Re

elsewhere. This should be borne in

complimentary remarks and congratu
lations, the ladies of the church served

The Rpynoldeville Baptist congrega

pastor, faithful and zealous worker
when they gave Dr. Meek a call to the
pastorate of their church. He is a good
preacher, wise counselor, a genial gen
tleman, always ready to extend a .glad

street, in shop or at church. ' His seven
years' work In Reynoldsville has been
very successful.
It must not be forgotten that while
Dr. Meek Is being praised for bis suo-"
cess in his ministry here, that be has a
noble Christian wife who has been a
great help in his work. Mrs. Meet "
