Chippewa George Nordby
and two companions sat on the 500
depot platform at Stanley, awaiting
the approach of an eastbound mid
night passenger train. They dared
each other to sit there the longest
with their feet on the rail. Nordby
outstayed his comrade and in at

foot and crushed it. He was brought
to the hospital, where his foot was
amputated.

Colonel G. G. CornwelI Commits Sui
eide on a Train.

Westchester, Pa, Aug. 7.-Nothing in
the history of this community has created
such widespread feeling of sorrow and de-
preston among its residents as the

answer a charge of misappropriating
funds of an estate of which he was trus-
tee. 1t is probable had he the heart to
face the charges that friends and relatives
would have come to his rescue. A meet
ing of merchants and professional men
was held yesterday at which plans to aid
Colonel Cornwell were discussed. Mrs.
Cornwell is in a state of collapse and the
sympathies of the community have gone
to her and the four small children. Cap

searching Colonel CornwelPs pockets
steamship sailing lists and other literature
containing information about foreign trips
were found. Following an inquest in
Philadelphia which was a mere formality
the body was brought here.
A complete investigation of Colonel
Cornwell's entangled affairs will be begun
