Kneipkan1p
ACcident|y Killed

The saddest tragedy that it has
been our duty to chronicle for
some time, isthat of the accidental
death of Henry Kneipkamp, well
known farmer residing about five
miles southeast of town.
The accident which caused his
sudden death and shocked the en-
tire community, occurred last Sun
day forenoon while Mr.Kneipkamp
was attempting to finish mining a
load of Ignite coal in an open mine
The mine is located near the Henry
Oft home, where he had been
working and wanted to finish dig
ging out a load Sunday morning.
He left to do so and instructed his
son Harry to bring the team about
eleven o'clock, so they could bring
the load home by noon. At eleven
o'clock Harry arrived at the mine
and discovered that large pile of
dirt had fallen down from above
where his Dad was working and
that he had been buried by the
dirt, and only his head was to be
seen. His father was still con-
scious and told the boy to hurry
and unhook the horses and help
him. Terrified with fright at the
sight of his father lying there help
less, the lad finally got the team
unlocked from the wagon when
his father again spoke and said,
"For Gods sake help me, | am
dying, and these were the last
words spoken. The boy then let
the team go and started to move
the dirt away. Soon afterwards
Mrs. Henry Oft, seeing the horses
come up from the mine, went down
to see what was wrong, and to-
gether she and the lad managed to
dig him out. Ben Oft was then
called who assisted in bringing him
to the Kneipkamp home. Doctor
Koehler was called, but he lived
but a couple of hours passing away
at one o'clock in the afternoon.
At the coal mine where the ac-
cident took place, there is a coal
vein about three feet thick and a
dirt bank on top of it of about Is |
feet, and while he was working at |
the coal a large chunk of dirt had |
broken lose overhead, with the
above results. And thus the angel
of death took from our midst, one
of our most esteemable and highly
respected citizens.
Deceased was 40 years, 7 months
and 26 days old, and leaves a dear
and loving wife, besides two child
ren, Harry and Clara, and a num-
ber of relatives to mourn his sud-
den departure to the GreatBeyond.
Mr.. Kneipkamp was born in
Germany and came to the United

Elmira Veterans Not Sure
About Their Regular Jobs

Elmira, n. Y, April 9.-All the vet
eran players on the local New York
League team began to shake in their
boots to-day when Manager Jimmy
Jackson made the announcement that
he contemplated a big shake-up in
the personnel of the club.
Two new candidates for first base,
new shortstop who comes highly
recommended. and a hard-hitting out
fielder are among the latest candi-
dates for positions on the team, ac-
cording to Jackson's statement.
Local fans are expecting to see an
almost entirely new pitching staff and
the veterans will have to hustle to
keep their jobs.
1t is also expected that with the
exception of Second Baseman Loudly
the infield will be entirely new. John
J.. Sullivan, the hard-hitting outfielder
who was one of the stars of the league
last year, will not return to baseball
this year, as he has announced that he
has obtained a good position in Will
Transport, and expects 40 make a little
extra money playing games on Satur-
day afternoons and holidays

good cheer to-day from Manager

team, who promises Jackson that he

SCRANTON TEAM
STARTS THIS WEEK
Manager Bill Coughlin Will
Begin With Rookie and
Veteran Pitchers

Scranton, Pa, April BY the end
of the coming week most of the can
didates for jobs on the Scranton team,
of the New York State League, in the
1917 race, will have reported to Man
Park training grounds.
1t is Bills plan to bring on the
rookie and veteran pitchers and catch
ers first and put them through the
PAGES for few days and have them
in good shape for the rest of their
teammates when they report. Cough
lin has q definite plan for the coming
campaign though he is not telling it
to any one but Owner Robert Allen,
who has held numerous conferences
with the team pilot during the winter
season.
1t is believed, however, that most of
the reliables from last years squad
will be on hand trying for their old
places. OF these, it is almost assured
that Catcher Brannan, First Baseman
Walsh, Second Baseman Purtell and
Outfielder McCabe will have first call
for their old jobs Third Baseman
Almedia, Infielder Cranston and Out
fielder Cad Coles will not be returned.
Neither will Pitchers Doc Adkins or
Jack Fox be asked to report.
Some Weak Spots
Coughlin has a number of weak
spots to bolster up, and these prin-
Cipally are second base, third base and
left field. His pitching staff is a bit
uncertain, and he will have to do some
tall hustling to build it to the
strength attained by Wilkes Barre,
Elmira and Syracuse. He is depend
ing confidently on Hugh Jennings to
do something for him, the Detroit
leader having given his word that he
would give the Miners a hand.
So far Coughlin has not arranged a
single exhibition game, which is en-
tirely different to the system that he
has employed since he replaced
Johnny Kelly at the head of the team
Bill thinks there is no better way TO
judge player than to work right
with him in the preliminary stunts.
and he has decided to dispense with
the majority of the exhibition games
this year. Instead he will bring on a
number of the big league teams 10
play Sunday games at the new park
in Dickson City.
