The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1913-11-12
The P. r. R. track was blocked several

hours early Monday morning by an acct
dent that happened a short distance be-
low the station at this place. Shortly af-
ter 4 O'Clock Extra southbound engines
Nos. 2704 and 1902, both attached to a
fright, came together derailing the tank
of the former and damaging the latter.
Both had been cut of from the train for
water and 2704 was returning when it ran
into 1902. No one was injured.
In renewing his subscription our old
friend, Ed. Klabbatz, a former we'll re-
membered citizen of our county, writes:
Although a resident OF Erie county for a
few years l look forward for the Forest
county papers and they seem just like a
letter from home. There are a humber
of Forest county boys here and all seem
to be doing well, Tor this is a bustliDg
"Chair CITY," The Bull Moose all died

am In good health now and enjoy life as
we'll as ever. Hoping to be remembered

Winter hit this latitude with a sud-
denness last Sunday that almost knocked
the props from under us, causing the
shivers to dance up and down the spinal
column of the average deniezon of these
parts to an extent seldom equaled by The
sterneSt January blizzard. Sunday night
was a bowler, and Monday morning the
landscape with its two TO three inch
covering OF snow, had a look of drear
that was sad to contemplate, coming 80
soon upon the heels of a week of most
gorgeous fall weather. Much damage was
wrought in this section to telephone and
telegraph lines, many of which were put
ont of commission for the day, but on the
whole the country is standing the sudden
transition quite well. Besides the snow
fall was so timed as to give the deer
hunters a fine opening on the first day OF
the season. But in point OF suffering
from the big storm we are not in 1t with
the states bordering on the great Lakes,
where trains are snow-bound and drifts
ten feet deep, entirely covering passenger
coaches, are reported. Northern Ohio
seems to have gotten the worst dose.
