FORMER OAKLAND MAN
LOST IN INDIANA FLOOD
Daniel Shaffer Drowned in the White
River at Washington, Ind. Thursday.

News was received in Oakland last
Friday evening that Daniel Shaffer,
formerly of Oakland, where he was en-
ploy until few years ago as assistant
B. & o. agent, later going into the ser
vice of the railroad company as yard
master at Washington, Indiana, had
been drowned at the latter place when
bridge spanning the White River at
Washington collapsed carrying down
with it train upon which Mr.. Shaffer
was riding.
AS soon as the information was re-
ceived here by Mr.. Shaffer's relatives
efforts were made to get into COM
munication with his wife, but this was
impossible owing to the flood conditions
and nothing definite could be learned
until Tuesday afternoon when another
message was received confirming the
first telegram and adding that the body
of the drowned man had not been re-
covered.
Mr.. John w. Hart, father of Mrs.
Shaffer, left for Washington Tuesday
night and expected to reach that point
without trouble of a serious nature as
he had been informed that conditions
were somewhat improved.
Besides his wife, who was Miss Eliz-
abeth Hart, Mr.. Shaffer is survived by
two children, both being quite young.
The stricken family has the deepest
sympathy of the Oakland people in their
sore bereavement.

SAMUEL LAYTON SERIOUSLY ILL.
Was Taken To Cumberland Yesterday
Afternoon and Operated
Upon Last Night.

Mr.. Samuel Lawton of Oakland, was
taken i'll few days ago and his condi-
ton became so alarming Yesterday that
to save his life it was decided that a
surgical operation of serious nature
was necessary. He was taken to Cum
berland yesterday afternoon by DR.. H.
w. McComas, accompanied by his sis
ter, Miss Julia Lawton and also by. Mrs.
Lawton, where an operation was per-
formed by Drs. McComas, Hawkins and
Oracle, who found that the intestines
were involved and that Mr.. Lawton' S
condition was more serious than at first
thought
After the operation had been per-
formed the patient collapsed but later
rallied and now is in as good condition
as could be expected but is far from be-
ing out of danger. Mr. Lawton S friends
who are legion, hope for his speedy re-
covery. Dr. McComas returned to Oak

HISTORIC GRIST MILL
RENT BY EXPLOSION.
Son OF Proprietor Was Experiment
ing With Gas With Near Fatal
Result,

The historic Engle's Mill situated on
Piney Run about IL miles east of Sails
bury, Somerset County, Pa, and more
than century old, came near being
totally destroyed, and Samuel Engle,
one of the youngest sons Of the venerable
proprietor, John j. Engle had close
call from death. AS it was, the mill
was badly rent and shattered by a gas
explosion and Samuel Engle was SER
iously injured as the result of an ex-
pertinent he was conducting in the office
of the mill.
Young Engle is somewhat of a me-
chanical genius and had for some time
been working ON an invention by which
he thought he could generate gas for
lighting purposes by the use of carbide,
water, etc. The idea was to contine
this gas IN a receptacle especially made
for the purpose, and then use it as
needed.
1t was while charging one of these
devices that the explosion occurred. 1t
is thought that the pressure gauge he
had attached did not register right, and
he overcharged it, or his gas tank was
not as strong as he thought it to be. At
any rate there was terrific explosion
that could be heard for several miles.
and Mr.. Engle was severely burnt about
the head and face, and several gashes
wers cut in his lower limbs by small
fragments of the wrecked machine,
flying portions of which went through
three floors Of the mill, raising the raf-
tiers and knocking some of the shingles
off the roof.
The windows were blown out and the
mill would likely have been burned TO
the ground had not George Engle, a
brother. arriy ed on the scene in time to
eXtinguish the flames which soon would
have gained too much Roadway to be
checked by ordinary means.
1t is supposed that the confusion of
the explosion set fire to the dust collect
ed in the different parts of the building,
since it started fire on three different
floors of the mill.
The unfortunate Young man apparent
ly was not knocked down by the eXpIo-
sion, for he immediately ran out to the
road in front, but was stunned consid-
erably. A physician was summoned at
once and attended to his injuries which
are not pronounced as serious as they
were at first thought to be.
A number of stringed musical instru-
ments which hung in the mill office and
which were much priced by the Englc
boys, who have an orchestra of their
own, was smashed into smitherccns.

CHEUVRONT HOME BADLY
DAMAGED BY FIRE MONDAY
Fire Originated in Cellar and Went
Up Through Walls to Attic.

With the wind blowing like a hurri-
cane an alarm of fire was giving Mon
day that took the fire department on
long hike from the centre of town to
the home of Mr.. j. B. Cheuvront in the
eastern portion of Oakland, which had
caught on fire in some manner and when
the fireman reached the scene the entire
back building seemed to be burning.
In order to get water on the flames
it was necessary to cut several holes
through the roof of the structure, the
fire seemingly being confined within the
outside walls between the weather.
boarding and the plastering. With each
puff of wind flames would shoot out at
a number of places. 1t was hard work
on the part of the men in charge of the
hose to properly locatediand successfully
combat the fire. They.succeeded in con-
filming it to the rear portion of the house
and finally subdued in but not until after
flooding almost the entire building.
The building is the property OF Rev.
DR.. +. b. Ward and was tenanted by
Mr.. Cheuvront. DR.. Ward carried an
insurance of S2500 on the property which
is ample to place it in good repair again
Mr.. and Mrs. Cheuvront and family
are domiciled for the present at the
home of Mr.. S. H. jackson.
