The latest unfortunate victim was a driller named George GRAHAM, aged 28 years. His home was at Franklin, Venango county. He came to the McDonald field shortly after it opened. GRAHAM was a man of exemplary habits and was engaged to be married to an estimable young lady of Mt. Morris, Pa., on the first of next month. The coroner's records show that within the past twelve months there have been fifty-one persons meet death on this short stretch of road.
