Luther, died at his home in Carroll township this (Thursday) morning. He leaves a wife and one child. We have failed to learn any particulars. William Strauss, father of Register and Recorder Wm. H. Strauss, died at his home in Johnstown on Monday morning in the 72d year of his age from diseases incident to old age. His funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, interment being made in Grand View cemetery, in that city. M. J. Sanker, a conductor on the Cambria & Clearfield division, was killed at Amsbry on Tuesday, in a peculiar manner. Sanker was killed by the breaking of an iron ring on a freight car. To the ring was attached a rope connected with the locomotive, used in “drilling” cars. Sanker was walking along the car to which the death-bearing ring was attached, and when the iron suddenly divided into three pieces, one of the flying fragments struck the doomed man in the head causing a fracture of the skull from which death resulted in a few minutes. Sanker, who lived at Cresson, was aged twenty-six and was unmarried. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
