Mrs. Annie r. FaZenbaker, aged SO

called to Hyndman, Pa, on la st Fri

The report that Percy Kennel, of
Garrett, Pa, a brother of Mr.. Wilson
Kennel, of this place, had died at the
Western Maryland Hospital Cumber-
land, last Monday morning after I'M
dergoing a surgical operation, turned
out to be a case of mistaken identity.
1t seems there was a death that day
at the hospital and Mr.. Wilson Ken
mel was notified that it was his
brother. He was very much elated
on arriving at the hospital to find
that his brother had stood the opera
ton well and was in the very best of
spirits and on the way to recovery.
Miss Flora Barricks, a young girl
16 years of age living on Hampshire
Hill, had a most miraculous escape
from horrible death last Tuesday
afternoon at Savage, w. Va. She
had made some purchases at the com
pany store and started for home and
gotten to the end of the platform and
was about to step over ON the B. & o.
tracks when the fast freight going
west struck her, hurting her a dis
lance of about ten feet. She was
picked up for dead but outside of
some bruises and sprained ankle no
serious injuries were sustained. Her
attention was attracted to a train
passing at the time on the south
track. Her mother was killed on the
West Virginia Central tracks a year
ago within a hundred feet of where
the daughter was struck.
Messrs. Dubois & Bond, Savage
river lumbermen, have given out
contracts for cross ties. This leads
one to believe that the rumored build
ing of the plant on the site of the old
Lochiel mill was unfounded and that
the railroad from Crabtree up Savage
river will be pushed in the early
spring.
A petition is being widely circulated
and signed invoking the aid of the
County Commissioners in having the
B. & o. establish an eleccric gong at
the county road crossing.
