"A runaway ir which Walter Crouch
and Jacob Whitmore, of East Hickory,
figured came near resulting seriously for
both yesterday morning about $3.50 while
they were driving to this place. By some
means the thills became partly detached
from the vehicle at the lower end of the
Narrows, causing the horse to take fright
and run away, throwing the occupants
out and seriously bruising both, but for
tunately neither was seriously injured.
Mr.. Crouch was able to get back home
with some difficulty and Mr.. Whitmore
came on to Tionesta and received medical
attention. The horse was caught at the
County Home. The buggy was quite
badly smashed.
-Adolph Blum, who is employed in
the National Transit Company Shops in
Oil City, was very painfully burned
about the face and neck while at work
Just before noon Monday. He was in the
act of lighting the gas ih an oven to dry
out some cores. Igniting some paper he
opened the oven door and threw in the
paper. An explosion followed which
lifted him from his feet and landed him
20 feet away. The flames scorched him
in painful manner, but fortunately his
eyes were not burned. He was attended
by DIR. Siggins. II is said the gas had
been escaping in the oven since Friday.
Adolph came to his home here Tuesday
morning and his injuries will lay him up
for some time.
-"Guilty of murder in the second de-
gree and recommended to the mercy of
the court" was the verdict returned
against Eugene Tallman in court at Erie,
Pa, Sunday morning. Tallman was con-
victed of shooting and killing John May,
a prosperous farmer of Girard township,
Erie county, on the night of November
80, 1909. The case was one of the hardest
fought battles ever witnessed in the courts
of Erie county and the conviction was al
most purely upon circumstantial evil
dence. The Jury was out eleven hours.
Tallman was one OF four men who
planned the affair and stole fine team of
gray horses from Amos Shots, of Tylers-
burg, on the night of Sept. "a, 1909, and
for which man named Thomas was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentary.
