JUMPED TO SAVE HIS LIFE
Engineer Zepp ustains Broken
Leg as Result.
ENGINE HITS WAY FREIGHT
Track Hand Has Narrow Escape at
Evitt's Creek Man Killed
at Connellsville.

AS result of rear-end collision at
Intersection at z O'Clock Wednesday
morning, Mr.. w. T. Zepp. of this
city. the well-known Baltimore %
Ohio engineer, is at the King S
Daughters hospital suffering from a
broken leg. which will probably pre-.
vent him from resuming his work
for a couple of months at least.
Mr.. Zepp was at the throttle of the
engine pnlling fast freight No. 81,
which left here shortly before I
O'Clock this morning. When he
reached q sharp curve near Intersec-
ton he discovered the way freight
train standing on the west track just
ahead. Reversing his engine he
jumped to avoid being caught in the
wreck. The fall resulted in the frac-
ture of the bones of the leg about 4
inches below the knee--a painful aud
serious injury.
1t is said that the hagmans of the
way freight had not succeeded in
getting back far enough to flag the
approaching freight, and the sharp
curve prevented the engineer from
seeing the obstruction until too late
to avoid collision.
Both the engine and caboose were
somewhat damaged a. but not enough
to block traffic.

We hear great deal about the new
tax laws assessing chickens, mans.
jelly and all provisions ON hand for use
by the family. The old law and the
new law reads that all property shall
be assessed, so there is no change in
the law with regards to what property
shall or shall not be listed for purpose
of being taxed. The difference is in
the man who constructs the law, and
the man who is elected assessor
When Mr.. D. Fl. Stuckey was assessor,
we are Informed, that there was a
great outcry against the way the
property was assessed, but for twenty
years the republicans have assessed
the personal property ia this county

the principles of the party which has
made this country the most progress
sive and prosperous of all the nations
of the world. NV election means a
vote ia congress for these principles
and in support of the wise policies of
President Roosevelt, who is the able
defender and champion of al the
peoples rights. My defeat would
mean another vote in congress against
all these great principles and policies
that have brought prosperity and hap
piness to our people. What a noble
sentiment is set forth in the above
lines Truly, every republican should
vote to send such true and patriotic
man as Jim Lakin to congress.

retard the advancement of noble and
just laws, by voting for that enemy
of republican principles Tom Davis?

II Colonel Tom Davis were elected
to congress it would show that the
people of the Second district were
dissatisfied with the present admins
tration, and it would not be week
until some of the democratic news
papers would be saying that this state
was going democratic at the next
general election. and that democratic
president would be elected Gour yeats
hence. Thus. it can readily be seen
that such an impetus must not be
given the opposition at this time.
Therefore, the only logical thing to
do is to elect Jim Lakin by a rousing
majority thus showing the democratic
party that tepublioanism is on he
