The young man was courting Miss Kate BROWN of Carnegie. He left her at her father's home at 10 o'clock with the remark that there was barely time to catch the train. It is supposed that he jumped the fence and attempted to board the train while in motion and was violently thrown, his head striking a sharp object that crushed his skull. Other injuries sustained are all on one side of the body and bear out this theory. His valuables were found upon him and foul play is therefore not likely.

HOUGH, formerly of Noblestown, is taken from the Los Angeles Times: Whittier, Cal., Feb. 2-This afternoon Friends' church was filled with sorrowing people for the funeral service of Harry S. HOUGH, one of the best known and liked young men of this city. Mr. HOUGH was an oil driller who had worked for William PLOTTS and the Murphy Oil Company for the seven years he had been on the coast, and it is indicative of the sorrow of his fellow workers that today not only were the drills of the Murphy company silent, but the entire field was hushed while the men bade their friend goodbye for the last time. At the church and at the grave flowers were massed in the profusion possible in no other place than California, and were the handsomest ever seen in this city. Prominent among the set pieces was a complete drilling rig with broken cable, developed with thousands of pink carnations and ferns, the whole piece standing fully six feet high. It bore on one side a broken wheel near which rested a broken bit. The beam was down, which was easily translated by oil men into "'Tis finished." This magnificent pied was the offering of the employees of the Murphy Oil Company. Near it stood another handsome tribute, a "Gates Ajar," nearly four feet high, from the employees of the Central Oil Company, while all around and almost burying the casket were scores of other offerings. The service was conducted by Rev. Levi MILLS, who, in an eloquent address, eulogized the true manhood and high qualities of the one who had gone, speaking of his courageous, generous and gentle heart, and stating that in his death not only do the family and friends suffer, but the loss is felt by the entire community. The pallbearers, all drillers for the Murphy company were: Earl BAILEY, John MCALEESE, Bert SCHINNELLER, Aaron TALBERT, John FITZPATRICK and L. J. BAUER. Music for the service was furnished by a male quartette, Walter F. MORSE, H. L. WILSON, E. C. BUTTERFIELD and Will A. SMITH. Mr. HOUGH was 32 years of age, and his great strength and fine constitution made his death, after only a few weeks' illness, a surprise even to those who had known how seriously ill he was. He leaves a widow, a little son and daughter and one brother here, while in Pennsylvania are his parents, four sisters and two brothers.

Separate article on same page as obits The many friends of Miss Nellie May ROSS will learn with sorrow that she succumbed to tuberculosis in Los Angeles, Calif., September 2, 1902. Notice of interment in this issue. Miss ROSS was born at Petroleum Center, Pa., and was in her 27th year. She was a member of Mount Prospect Presbyterian church. She is the last of a family of four to wither under the breath of the "great white plague." Miss ROSS had a large circle of friends who esteemed her highly. She had many acquaintances here and in the surrounding community, and all the readers of the Record have been delighted with her entertaining and instructive letters which we have been permitted to publish from time to time, descriptive of California's climate, custom and scenery. She was a gifted and talented writer with the rare faculty of drawing true portraits in words; she was a good musician and a skillful artist. Her health had been gradually declining for years, yet she always seemed to be endowed with indomitable energy and sought to please others, we fear at the cost of her own strength. She was sweet in disposition and gentle and charming I manner, and was held in the highest regard by all who knew her. Her natural buoyancy of spirit kept her outward demeanor cheerful, while she confessed to her intimate associates that she felt her doom approaching. She sought to regain health by various changes of climate, visiting in turn the pine woods of Michigan, the mountains at Asheville, N. C., and finally the southern coast of California. Certain improvements followed each change, but the inevitable end came at last. While sensitive and spirited, she never complained through all her illness and those who cared for her in her last hours declared that "association with her had done them good." Could man write or mortal wish higher eulogy? Many will miss her and mourn her demise, yet all know that our loss is her gain, and that she rests in peace. She was weary with pain and weakness and prayed for the end, and 'sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, she approached the grave like one who wraps the drapery of her couch about her and lies down to pleasant dreams."
