    3. Violent Deaths During the month of September fewer persons were killed or died in such a way that an official investigation was necessary than for some time past. The usual record of from 20 to 35 killed in a month was not kept up and as a result Coroner Miller had hardly any work to do. Dr. Miller stated recently that during the time he had been coroner of Cambria county, the least number of cases he had in a month was five. During September there were only 10. The list of unfortunates is as follows: William Cayton, killed by falling from train at Franklin works, Johnstown; Wm. Mushgate, killed by train in the Eleventh ward, Johnstown; unknown baby, found in cellar at Benscreek; Mike Kura, killed in the mines at South Fork; Nathan W. Beckley, drank horse medicine; Albert F. Grove, shot accidentally by brother; Frank Johnson, killed by a train at South Fork; Tony Culpenny, killed in mine at Ehrenfeld; Clarance O’Neil, shot by Harry Harshberger; John Turkuntnan, killed at forge shop, Franklin. Coroner E. L. Miller on last Tuesday went to Twin Rocks to investigate the death of Thomas Coy of Belsano who was killed Tuesday while engaged in erecting a large stack. After looking over the ground and ascertaining the exact manner in which the accident happened the coroner decided that an inquest was unnecessary, as death was purely accidental. Coy was 27 years of age and is survived by his widow and a son, two years old. The remains were interred Saturday afternoon in the Evangelical church cemetery at Belsano _________________________________________________________________ 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/
