KILLED IN THE MINES Coroner E. L. Miller on Friday morning went to Ehrenfeld and investigated the death of Tony Chipiano, the Italian who was killed in the Pennsylvania Coal & Company’s mines on Thursday. Chipiano’s death was caused by a fall of coal. Coroner Miller’s investigation developed that neither Chipiano nor his companion, who is an experienced miner, had spragged before mining, causing the fall. Under the circumstance, the coroner decided an inquest unnecessary. Chipiano was aged thirty –three years, and leaves a wife and family in Italy. BABE’S BODY FOUND IN A BOX Some children who were playing in the cellar of a house on the Portage township side of Benscreek, about one and one half miles from Benscreek or Cassandra, on Monday afternoon, says the Johnstown Tribune, found a wooden box which they dragged outside. Slate keeper Ritchey who lives not far away took the box to break it up into kindling wood and found inside it a paper box. In this was discovered the badly decayed remains of a full birth baby. The babe was well dressed and then presence of talcum powder on the body indicated that the little one had lived some time. Constable William Inman took the bones for the body was not more than a skeleton to Cassandra and notified Coroner E. L. Miller. Coroner Miller on Tuesday went to Cassandra and learned that during the last six or eight months a couple of families had lived in the house in which the babe was found. The family which occupied the house immediately before the last tenants was made up of English speaking people, so it is thought they could tell something about the box mystery. That family, unfortunately has left the region so that no light can be thrown on the affair. The house is untenanted at present. _________________________________________________________________ Be the filmmaker you always wanted to be—learn how to burn a DVD with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588797/direct/01/
