News was received by Mrs. Thos
Hassey on Saturday last stating that
her brother, 'Dolph Siegel, whose
home was in Nebraska, had died and
was buried on the 10th inst. Full
particulars we're not given, but it ap.
pears that typhoid fever was the cause.
Dolph will be remembered by most Of
our townspeople as ap energetic young
man. He was married to Miss Nora
Hulings of this place about three
years ago, who with one child survives
him, and who will have the sympathy
Of all her acquaintances here in her
bereavement.
Fred. Hall, an Oil City boy, was
on Monday. ground to atoms by the
cars. The Blizzard ends its account
of the frightful affair in the following
manner, which we hope will prove a
warning to the boys nf this place who
are in the habit of jumping Oh and off
moving trains at this depot at almost
all hours of the day: $50 far as can
be learned at this hour, no one saw
the boy killed, and it appears that he
was responsible for his terrible end by
catching on to moving train. Nu-
merous young lives have been lost in
this city from that cause, but it seems
impossible to stop this most perilous
practice. Fred. Hall Was in the habit
of taking free rides of this kind, and
there is nothing to show that this did
not cause his death"
