resided with his parents in Allegheny
township, about a mile from the village
of Chest Springs. About 9 o’clock on
the morning of November 21, he took
his gun and stated that he was going
hunting, but would return at night.
That was the last that was seen of him
alive.
When he did not return his father
and the neighbors erganized searching |
parties and scoured the woods for him
for several days, but without avail.
one instance his father was within forty-
five yards of where the body was
found. Rumors that he had been seen
in Altoona allayed the fears of the
family somewhat, but the search for
him was kept up at intervals.

The question of the grange National
bank, which was the most important of
the day, was brought up at the after-
noon session. The grange voted to
establish the bank, but did not set a
limit on the capital. W. F. Hill, mas-

the meeting and spoke in favor of the
organization of the bank and pointed

thought that Crossman was standing

the hammer striking the stump and
discharging it.
