ON HIS WOODEN LEG.
Veteran Engineers Narrow Escape From

One of the veteran engineers OF the
Pennsylvania lines, west, who will soon
be retired is Jake Rumbaugh, who is
now in charge OF the engine that hauls
an accommodation train on the Pan
handle, but who was for many years
engineer on fast express trains. Many
of the trainmen in friendly way call
the old gentleman Peggy" because ne
has a wooden leg. Years ago. while
crawling out from under his engine
while 1t was standing near turntable,
a careless fireman started the machine,
and the wheels passed over Mr.. Rum
baugh's leg causing injuries which ne
cessitated amputation. lie soon recov-
cred, and by means of wooden leg was
able to go to work running an engine
again. He can get around so easily that
few observers can be convinced that
one of his natural limbs is missing.
About 20 years ago when he was rum
ming freight train, he ran into big
slide at the mouth of a tunnel and
piled up about 90 cars, blocking the
road for many hours. Engineer Rum
baugh was caught in the debris and
held down. They had to go around and
enter the tunnel from the other end to
get near him, and then they found a
huge wooden beam with the weight of
three or four trucks was resting on his
leg. He was given stimulants and asked
IL he was suffering much pain. mot a
d Bit" said the engineer "The
weight Is on my old wooden leg. Just
saw II off and let me get up" After his
wooden leg was released and he was
helped out it was found that he had
! miraculously escaped with only a few
scratches.

BROKE AN ARTERY
And Nearly BIed to Death Before a
Physician Could Be Called.

Patrick Rifle, of S07 Correll street,
nearly bled to death, Wednesday night,
Rifle was retiring when he felt some
thing warm creeping down his right
ankle. He discovered that an artery
had broken Just below the knee. Mrs.
Rifle ran to a neighbor and DR.. c. L.
Schilling was summoned. The wound
was bandaged and the flow Of blood
was stopped. Mr.. Rifle is confined to
his home but it is not possible that any
serious condition will result from the
accident. He is employed at the Elbel
works, where he runs a steam hammer.
1t is believed that the constant use
of the right leg in working a shift
caused strain which led to the break
ing of the artery. ,.,...,

Said That Matters Are Getting In Such
Shape That Arrests May Be Made.
Dutch FRANKS Sentence
HAS BEEN COMMITTED.
Thought That This Will Have
Something to Do With Get
ting Some Testimony
That Will Be of
Avail.

It Is understood that the Greentown
murder case, which had the citizens Of
the county much interested year or so
ago, came near TO being stirred up by
the grand Jury that has just adjourned.
It is said that some evidence has been
secured tending to show the identity of
another of the men who was implicated
in the killing of John Hartong, for
which Ed Henderson is now serving a
life sentence. Prosecutor Day is said
to have taken the matter up during the
grand jury session. and it is said he
made a trip to Greentown in the hope
of securing certain testimony, with ref
erence to one of the persons whose
names has been mentioned in the case
and who resided in that section of the
county at one time.
The evidence was not forthcoming,
but It is believed that it can yet be Sc
cured and it is not unlikely that an ar
rest may be made in the case at an
early date.
Supplementing this information.
comes a special to the News Democrat,
from its staff correspondent at Colum-
bus, declaring that the board of
pardons, at it's session there Thursday,
recommended that the sentence of Mar
tin Kinneman. who was sent up from
Stark county for eight years, for rob-
berry, be commuted to five and one-half
years.
The fellow mentioned in this dispatch
is better known as Dutch Frank" He
was mentioned in connection with the
Hartong case, while Henderson was
being tried Some used his name as
a possible witness, who might know
something of the case, but nothing came
of it.
1t is known that a great effort has
been made to have somebody turn
official from the penitentiary stated
recently that some Stark county men
had been in Columbus lately for the
purpose of looking up some evidence.
Two persons would be interested in
having Dutch Frank get pardon, or Il
Communication. One party would be the
guilty, who would thus desire 10 favor
him for keeping his mouth shut. The
other would be the authorities, who
70
muted in order to pry open his mouth
It is likely that the latter is the more
plausible, but Prosecutor Day sa d
Thursday afternoon that he had moth
ing to say about the Co umbus end and
had no information about it. He was
then asked whether the Hartong case
! was not in the process of being reopen
ed and stated that all cases that requir-
ed to be reopened would be reopened
You We're in Greentown. during the
grand jury sitting, were you not?" was
| asked.
Yes, sir. / was there on business.
You can say that / was up there but
you can see that it is impossible for me
to say just what took me there"
1t is learned that Isaac Stripe, of
Greentown, was in the city Thdrsday.
| 1t is sad that he was here on business
pertaining to that case, but definite in
formation oil that character could not
be secured. He identified Henderson
| during that trial.
Officials expect that something will
| be done II the case by next week.

BEFORE THE JUDGE
Six Indicted Saloon Keepers Anaigned
Tuesday Morning.
each One PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
Gave Bond for Their Appearance
In Court for Trial When
Wanted.

Six Of the persons indicted for viola
ton of the Sunday liquor laws, were
arraigned before Judge Amber Tues
day morning. They all pleaded not
guilty and gave bond for their appear
ance for trial. Those arraigned were:
Orrin A. Zerbe, George Wagner, Chas.
Arff, Joseph Frank, Michael Cavnaugh
and Abe Bailey. All were charged with

These pleas seem to indicate that
