PREMONITION OF DANGER SAVED HER Miss Lillian Jeffries of Bellwood Moved Seat in Time to Avoid Being Hit with Stone Miss Lillian Jeffries, assistant post mistress at Bellwood, had somewhat of a miraculous escape from serious, if not fatal injury, on Sunday night. Miss Jeffries had been spending a few days at the home of her brothers, Howard and Lucien, who reside in Pittsburg. Upon boarding a train for home she took a seat near one of the doors. On account of the crowded conditions of the car; when the car began to thin out something seemed to tell her to take another seat, which she did. The moved saved her from serious, if not fatal injury, as a little girl who had taken the seat just vacated by Miss Jeffries on a short time before, was hit on the forehead with a stone that had been thrown at the train by some careless or malicious person while the train was speeding between Latrobe and Johnstown and admitted to the hospital in a very serious condition. -------------- Late News Paragraphed William Ward of 414 Bell avenue has scarlet fever.
