Peter Radinger, a puddler at the Dan

Radinger was a puddler who came to
this city from Lebanon several weeks
ago in search of work. He was not able
to secure steady work, but "stood
turns" at the mill. In the early part
of last week he received news that
there was sickness in his family at
Lebanon.
1t was while he was working the
redhot iron at the puddle furnace that
the news of his good fortune came.
Selling a letter that was handed ililn
he tore it open with feverish haste
dreading to read the message it might

had been bequeathed a fortune by an
