Three children of William Williams, a miner living on the outskirts of Cresson, have succumbed to diphtheria in a malignant form and one other youngster is convalescing from an attack of the disease. Of the seven children in the family, six became ill of diphtheria, the only one to escape being about a year old. The dead children were aged two years, four years and fourteen years. The Cresson school board’s quarantine proving too rigid, Williams broke out and went to Lilly, where he purchased food for his family. KILLED NEAR BENSCREEK The body of Thomas Riccardne, an Italian employed by C. A. Sims & Co., was found lying on the road below the arch culvert near Benscreek Monday morning. When Coroner Miller made an investigation in the afternoon he found that the man had unquestionably fallen from the railroad 30 feet above the road, striking the edge of the arch with his chin and breaking his right leg so badly that the thighbone protruded through his trousers. The coroner decided that the man died simply from the lack of care and that he would have survived his injuries had he been discovered within a reasonable time. The unfortunate foreigner and several companions had been at Benscreek the night before and they were playing an accordion. Later they went to the company’s commissary a couple of hundred yards distant when Riccardne left without saying anything to his companions. After the body was discovered the Italians refused to allow its removal until Coroner Miller arrived and asserted his authority. The coroner decided that an inquest was not necessary. Patton--Miss Lizzie Emanuel, daughter of David Emanuel died on Friday evening, August 28th, after a long illness. She was aged 19 years and was buried in the Fairview Cemetery. Undertaker Chas. Greninger had charge of the funeral. Patton--John M. Howe died on Monday morning, 8 o’clock of dropsy. He leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT A PORTAGE MINE A fatal mine accident occurred near Portage yesterday morning in which one man was killed, five others injured, three seriously by a fall of roof in a heading of the Hopfer mine of the Derry Hill Coal Mining Company. The accident is peculiar in its origin and happened as the men were going into work. The dead: James Murphy, Portage, aged 59 years and married. The injured: John Murphy, aged 21, son of James, hurt about the head and legs--may die. Gus Johnson, aged 45, married and living in Portage, injured about the head, condition very serious. William McCandlas, aged 25, living at Portage, back hurt, condition serious. John Denny, aged 22, living at Portage, both legs injured, body bruised and head cut, severe but not serious. Claude Conrad, aged 18, residing at Portage, foot injured slightly. The six men started into the mine about 7 o’clock, riding in one of the small mine cars used to convey coal to the tipple. When inside some distance a car jumped the track either accidentally or because a mule pulled it off the rails, and then the trouble began. The car struck a roof prop, which was weak at that point and knocked it out. The support given by the post being removed, a large portion of the roof tumbled down on the car and its occupants, killing James Murphy and causing the injuries of the five other men. DEATHS John A.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, September 4, 1903 PORTAGE MAN MEETS A MYSTERIOUS DEATH Jacob Leap, a well-known resident of Portage township was found dead at his lonely home near Cassandra Saturday morning under circumstances that leave but little doubt that he was the victim of a brutal murder. Leap’s body lay at the bottom of a small flight of steps and death could have been caused by a fall at that point, but a fall would hardly have inflicted the wounds found on the body. His neck, nose and one collar bone were broken and beside the body lay his cane, bathed in blood. Leap was subject at times to epileptic fits, but the attacks were never of great violence. One theory that the man was murdered is the fact that the entire interior of the shanty, where he lived the life of a bachelor, showed unmistakable evidence of having been thoroughly ransacked and apparently only a few hours before the body was found. Things were turned over topsy-turvy, evidently in search of booty. But the most direct evidence to support the theory of murder is the knowledge that for several days before the body of Leap was found, two strange men had been sharing the comforts of Leap’s humble home. Since last Tuesday, it is said, the men were at the place and they were seen as late as Tuesday night. Saturday, after the body of Leap was found, the strangers could not be located. One of them wore a peg leg and was a comparatively young man. William Mooney was suspected of knowing something about the affair and was locked up pending an investigation but on Sunday he was discharged as no evidence was offered against him. Coroner Miller went to Cassandra Saturday afternoon and made an investigation, being compelled to perform the autopsy as no physician is located there. He found the three fractures mentioned as well as blood clots on the brain and when the jury summoned for the inquest was taken to the place where the body was found, it was quite apparent that they thought all the injuries were not inflicted by the fall, even if Leap had been seized by an epileptic fit. The men who were in the company of Leap a short time before his death was known had called at the Franey stable. Mrs. Franey described them as being desperate looking fellows and she was surprised that her brother allowed them about the place. Leap, who was a cripple, was about 38 years of age and was a brother of Frank Leap of Cassandra. He has several other brothers and sisters. _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo! Friends via Windows Live Messenger.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT John Bershno, a Slav, aged forty-three years, with a wife and five children in the old country, was killed in the mine of the Logan Coal Company at Beaverdale about noon Monday, a fall of coal flattening his head out of shape and forcing his brains out. Bershno and his brother, Stephen, were experienced miners, having been engaged in this work for over ten years. They were bearing in under a fall and had gone under some three and a half feet, the face of the opening being about seven feet. John stooped down to dig out a small part of coal standing and as he struck it the whole mass fell on his head and shoulders and crushed them beyond recognition. The man was dead when the pile of stuff was removed from him. He was taken out of the mine and removed to his home. Coroner Miller was notified and investigated the case, deciding no inquest was necessary as it was clearly an accident induced by the carelessness of the man himself. The funeral took place at Windber Wednesday forenoon with interment in St. John’s Catholic Cemetery. Patton: Will Bennett accompanied the remains of Geo. Markers who was killed on Saturday morning at Pardee No. 3 mines to his home in Jersey Shore on Saturday 2:30 train _________________________________________________________________ Talk to your Yahoo!

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, August 28, 1903 CORONER’S JURY CENSURES COMPANY George W. Marcus, aged 23, a brakeman in the employ of the Beech Creek Railroad company at Patton, was almost instantly killed at about 5 o’clock Saturday morning by a projecting timber at the Lingle mines. Some shifting was being done and the unfortunate young man did not notice the projection when the cars were passing the tipple and he was hit and knocked down but did not fall from the car. Fred Audrey, fireman of the train, saw the accident and gave the alarm but the young man expired before anything could be done for him. The Beech Creek Coal and Coke company is held partly responsible for the death as is evidenced by the following verdict rendered by a coroner’s jury at Patton Monday afternoon. We the jury find from the evidence adduced that George W. Marcus came to his death on Saturday, August 22, at the Pardee No. 3 mine of the Beech Creek Coal & Coke company while braking on a New York Central train and that this tipple and chute are in a dangerous position to railroad men, being too low and would recommend that the company raise the chute and place it in a safer position, and would also recommend that ropes be placed so as to dangle as at a bridge, to give warning so that no more such accidents shall occur. Coroner Miller went to Patton Monday morning and at 2 o’clock began his inquest at the office of Justice Boone, with the following jury: Editor Roy E. Decker; Charles Rhody; F. W. McConnell; E. P. McCormick; Dr. H. A. Feitz and Justice George Boone. The only witness examined was Fred Audrey, the fireman on the train, who saw Marcus struck. He testified that as the train was going under the tipple, Marcus was struck on the head by the low chute, which knocked him down and caused his death within a minute or so. Most of the jurymen were familiar with the tipple and chute at the Pardee No. 3 mine, which was formerly called the Lingle mine, and were quick to arrive at a verdict that it was a dangerous place and should be remedied. KILLED AT SUMMERHILL The mangled body of a man named James Casey of Braddock was found Sunday morning on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks about one mile east of Summerhill. Casey had been seen about here for a week or so. It is supposed that late Saturday night or early Sunday morning Casey started to walk to Lilly or Cresson, when he was struck by a train. His watch was found on his body and the hands pointed the hour of 3:30 and it is believed that it was at that time in the morning he was killed. The body was badly mangled, both legs being ground off and his head terribly crushed. Casey’s wife died in Braddock of smallpox about two months ago. There are five surviving children, all living in Braddock. Casey was aged 35 years. Undertaker C. O. Dimond took charge of the remains. _________________________________________________________________ Get ideas on sharing photos from people like you.
