Terrible Accident That Bcfel william d.
OsterhOut, Of DunmOrc.

william d. Osterhout, OF Dunmore,
the senior member OF W. d. Osterhout
& Son. retail lumber dealers, contrac-
tors and builders. met with a terrible
death at 4,S0 yesterday afternoon at
Ash and Ridge streets, in Petersburg,
this city.
He and his son. Edward w. drove
along in carriage and stopped in front
OF Jacob II. Millers butcher shop at
lOOl Ridge street. The father alighted
from the carriage and went into the
shop to make purchase. In the mean
time Dominick Stolfi an Italian grocer,
who keeps a store on Smith street, Dun
more. drove along with a two-horse de-
livery wagon and his vehicle collided
with the carriage and tore off the hind
wheel.
That frightened the horse and II
plunged onto the side eWalk. upsetting
the carriage. and at this juncture the
elder Osterhout rushed from the butch
er shop and caught the horse by the
bride; his son was thrown out OF the
carriage. but only slightly bruised.
Crushed to Death by Horse.
The animal could not be controlled
and II knocked down its owner and
trampled the life out Of him. The hoofs
crushed in the mans breast and alb
domen and he died in less than twenty
minutes.
Stolfl, the Italian, is about 45 years
old, married, and has three children.
He has kept the grocery store for the
past seven years. He appears to be
deeply grieved by the part he played in
Mr.. Osterhout's untimely death. He
was committed to the police station by
Alderman Butterman. of the Tenth
ward, on Il warrant sworn out by Pa
trolman Louis GoerlitZ. The charge
against him Is careless and reckless
driving. Some say that he drove around
the corner at a furious rate. but he de-
clares himself that his team was walk
ing.
