Miss Schaeffer was in nowise non-plussed but proceeded to a pile of stones lying near and threw several of the boulders at the reptile and succeeded in killing it. The snake measured forty-one inches in length and sported seven rattles. It had been the owner of more of these latter but they had been broken off. ------------------------------------------------------------- Had His Leg Broken Johnstown Tribune: When William H. Seckler, esq., attempted to board the train on the Ebensburg & Cresson branch on Saturday morning at Barkers Crossing, a short distance from Ebensburg, to come to Johnstown, he bumped his head against the car and was thrown back to the ground, his left foot alighting on a board which turned and threw him. He was not thought to be seriously hurt and was assisted on the train, which resumed its trip to Cresson. Some time after the train was in motion it was discovered by Mr. Seckler that his leg was broken. He continued on his journey to Cresson. Upon his arrival there Dr. Troxell, of Gallitzin, was summoned and gave him the necessary attention. The disabled attorney was taken back to Ebensburg. ------------------------------------------------------ Annie Whiteman PABlair Rootsweb List Administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair
