Just a reminder to frequently check the PA Data boards, Bedford County has a tremendous amount of data on their boards, and I have been frequently adding newspaper articles to the Blair board.

Leisenring, one of the leading members of the Blair county bar, died Sunday morning at the Wayne hotel, Detroit, Mich. The deceased barrister was 62 years old. Mine host John E. Kitzinger of the Capitol hotel is making some improvements in his office, which will be a great convenience to him and to his guests, as well as add to the beauty of the place. John P.

The Gaysport borough council held a special session last Tuesday evening and considered the question of a sidewalk ordinance, with the results that an ordinance will be presented at the regular monthly meeting of council next month. The men in the westbound section of the East Hollidaysburg railroad yard were kept busy on the jump on Sunday, 18 trains being made up and sent over the Portage. Seven other trains were made ready, but could not be sent out owing to a lack of power to move them. Tuesday evening of last week, James M. Blyer, died at the home of his son William on Clark street with whom he made his home, the cause of his death being pneumonia. The deceased was born August 16, 1848, and was a veteran of the civil war. Interment in the Presbyterian cemetery. Upon complaint by some of our citizens, Burgess Jacobs was compelled to issue an edict to Chief of Police McGraw to arrest all boys and girls caught coasting on the sidewalks of the town. The burgess, remembering that he was at one time a boy himself, will permit this winter sport to continue in the middle of the street. Andrew Zeek, of this place, was the victim of an accident last Friday morning that may prove fatal. He is employed as a laborer on the branch work train, and in some manner fell from it striking his head on a rail. He was removed to the Altoona hospital, where an examination showed that his skull had been fractured at the base of the brain. Melvin Bailey, who lives on the outskirts of DuBois, saw a pig chewing something that looked like banknotes and taking it from the animal's mouth found that it was a roll of bills. By searching around in the straw he found $500 when all was added together. How they got in the straw is a mystery he cannot explain. Robbers who entered the store of J. B. Curry, the general merchant of Falls Creek, Clearfield county, secured goods to the amount of $500. Fifteen overcoats and twenty suits were taken. There is no clue to the riflers but the fact that there have been many tramps loafing in that vicinity recently, makes people believe that persons of that class are the guilty parties.
