While trying to board a moving eastbound train at the city depot, Friday night, Edward L. KELLEY, age 30 years, well-known oil driller and son of M. C. KELLEY of Washington, Pa., was thrown under the wheels and so badly injured that his death occurred within a few minutes. His right arm and leg were severed from his body. Several persons witnessed the accident and he was immediately picked up and taken into the depot, but life was extinct before the doctors arrived. For nine years Mr. KELLEY was employed in the oil fields in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. He returned to Washington last November following the death of his wife, which occurred last spring, and had since resided here. For several weeks he had been employed drilling at Dennison, Ohio, and was en route to his home in Washington when the accident occurred. His mother, Mrs. M. C. KELLEY, died suddenly of heart failure on March 16 at Elizabeth while visiting her husband who was employed at that place at the time. Mr. KELLEY leaves a son, Edward L. KELLEY, Jr., aged three years, who resides with his aunt, Mrs. John MALONEY, of Binghamton, N. Y. His father survives with one brother, William KELLEY, of Washington, and one sister, Mrs. James PLANKINSOP, of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. KELLEY was a member of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and of B. P. O. Elks lodge, No. 266 of Bakersfield, Calif. The body was taken charge of by Deputy Coroner H. F. HUMPHRIES, of this city and was taken to Washington, Saturday.

McDonald patrons of the Panhandle railroad will be pleasantly surprised at the big improvement made at the local station. This week three new slate have been placed on the roof, also a new baseboard has been placed on the northwestern corner and one on the south side of the building, adding much to the handsome appearance of said building. We are frank to say that at the present high price of pork, this building wouldn't make a decent hog pen. The repainting of the danger line adds much to the general appearance to the surroundings.

Have located a Dry Run (with assistance from another kind researcher) in Carroll Twp, Washington Co. I have also seen where land on Dry Run is probated in Allegheny Co, PA in 1796. Since it is possible the land was originally of Washington Co- would I look in Washington or Allegheny for the roots of the land? annie
