on Sunday afternoon at the Boultbee

was killed. He was trying to rope a
horse when he became entangled in
the rope in some way, and the horse
became frightened, and dragged him,
breaking his neck and carrying him
into the river faom which he was taken
out by fellows passing in an auto.
The family have the sympathy of
everyone. Frank was fine, popular
young man and will be greatly missed

Monday. on the place bought by
Carl Berg. The house and contents
we're a complete loss, the family
barely escaping with what they had
on. The fire occurred at about nine
o'clock at night and the flames soon
gained such headway that all efforts
to put it out were abandoned. The
place is located at the forks of the
Muddy and Anthracite, about six and
one-half miles from Somerset. Cen

were soon on the spo. and helped to
