was killed by the cars at Pemberton,

was made in Philadelphia, where his
parents, Samuel and Anna Heisse, re-
side. 1t has been learned that the
published reports were untrue that
Heisse was intoxicated at the time of
the accident. The stories to that effect |
probably were started because a bottle
of brandy was found in his pocket, |
but he had gotten that for a sick
friend. Deafness is supposed to have
caused him not to hear the approach |
ing train.
Frank Kelvy, whose hotel at Julius
town was recently burned, has not
done anything toward rebuilding.

there is a general feeling that it will
not be wise to do anything toward inn
proving hotel property or increasing
the liquor business. Those holding
licenses have determined not
to avail themselves of the privileges
thus granted.
