Howard II. IIixson.

The many friends of Howard
Ii. HiXson, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amos Hixson of Brush Creek
Valley, were shocked TO learn
that he bad been killed at Newton
Hamilton last Saturday morning.
Mr.. Hixson had been i'm the EN-
ploy of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company during the past nine
months, and a member Of crew
running a freight train between
Harrisburg and Altoona.
Last Saturday morning, while
taking their train eastward, they
pulled off ON d sideipg at Newton
Hamilton, to allow the Atlantic
Express to pass. The morning
was damp and chilly along the
river, and when the freight train
stopped, Howard stepped down
onto one of the main tracks. All
that moment the Atlantic went
rushing by striking Howard and
throwinghim violently several feet
fortunately off the track. His
body was not mangled, but he
was killed instantly. The Com
pany at once took charge Of his
remains, sent them to Everett,
and by midnight they were in
the home of his almost distracted
parents. The deceased was aged
about "a years; had been an ex-
omplary member Of the NJ. b,
church for several years, and his
funeral took place on Tuesday
when interment was made at
McKendree.
He is survived by his parents;
three brothers-Grant, Jesse,
and Ernest, aud by two sisters,
Mrs. EllaRohm atCrystalSprings,
and Miss Grace at home.

4 RAILROAD MINIS story.

zone of the worst starts | ever had,
said an engineer the other day, was
due to a large, lazy pig that had got
on my mind. Nothing will slide train
more easily and destructiyely from the
rails than live pork. This particular
specimen had habit of buTowing
alongside the track, and it was a fair
presumption that sooner or later he
would find something to interest him
between the rails and somebody would
go down the bank.
Il was coming down a hill one day
at high speed and craning my neck for
a comforting sight of piggy in his ac
customed place when, as | popped
around the curve, a bright red flag as
saulted my anxious gaze. The connec-
ton between that flag and the pig was
only q bit of mental alteration on my
part but it was very vivid. | shut off
and grabbed the whistle cord, but be-
fore | could even screech for brakes
saw that the flag was only red fan
mel shirt which the good woman of the
shanty to which the pig belonged had
hung on an improvised clothesline be
tween the telegraph poles.
"That may not sound like much of a
scare, but it represents Il type that
turns the railroad mans hair to Il deli
