Glenda Subyak has given me permission to forward these Niagara County newspaper items --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: GSubyak@aol.com Rochester, Monroe, N. Y. Democrat & Chronicle July 9, 1892 NIAGARA S. S. DICKERSON has been appointed clerk of the Lockport excise board, in place of Charles M. SOUTHWORTH. As was expected, death has come to the relief of Fred N. BABCOCK, of Lockport, who suffered a stroke of paralysis Thursday morning. He died at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Although but 21 years of age his death will be mourned by a very large circle of friends from whom he had, during his short life won their highest esteem. A father and mother, together with one sister and brother survive him. The 5-year-old son of Joseph WINKLEMAN of Lockport was run over by a switch engine near Green street at Lockport yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The little fellow was knocked between the rails and two cars passed over him. Fortunately a low brake was the only thing that harmed him and that broke his arm and also made quite a scalp wound. It was a very narrow escape. No blame is attached to the railroad. Deputy United States Marshall WEAVER has arrested Captain Luron D. WILSON of Lockport on the charge of defrauding the government by helping one James S. LAIRD to obtain a pension unlawfully. It is said that LAIRD has skipped out and cannot be found. It is thought that the evidence against WILSON will not be sufficient to hold him. He had an examination before United States Commissioner POUND yesterday afternoon and was released on his own recognizance. ***************** NIAGARA'S DEAD Lewiston, N. Y., July 8 — The body of an unknown man with a bullet in his head was found in the Niagara river at Youngstown yesterday. There is no clue to the man's identity. ************** Submitted by Glenda Subyak # 991004 ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
