Roundhouse Employe Killed at Hershey Charle9 Stover, employed at the Union Pacific round house in this city, was killed at Hershey Sunday after noon While attempting to Ret on a mov ing freight train. There was but one eye witness to Stover's death. V. B. Winburn, who was bis companion on the trip to Hershey. "Winburn, in a statement to Coroner Maloney, who went up to view the remains, says Stovor won a gun in a drawing at Huffman's cigar store and Sunday Stover invited him to go. along and try the gun. A man named Varnie started out with them, but when they reached a point a couple of miles west of town Varnje turned back. Just tfien a freight train was pulling out of the yards and Stover and Winburn con cluded that they would ride west to Hershey. They got on the sixth car from the engine and rode to the main tained house east of Hershey, and started to walk west along the track. Stover remarked that he would get on the train again and'iide to the depot. "VVinburn advised him not to do so as the train was moving at least fifteen miles an hour, but before he realized it, Stover caught hold of a car at about the middle of the train. Ho was thrown under the car and rolled about, the first wheels passing over his ab domen. When the caboose came along Winburn motioned the trainmen and pointed under the train. Conductor LeDioyt surmising something was wrong signaled for a stop, and going back found Stovor badly mangled. A physician was sent for, but life was found extinct. The bodjr was taken to Hfirshov and later brought into this city and prepared for burial. The re mains will be shipped today to the de ceased's, former home in Springfield Ohio. P. & S.

These three delegates are among our stongest good roads boasters. The petition for the creation of a bridge district to vote bonds for the construction of a bridgo east of town was presented for endorsement by the Chamber of Commerce. The directors seemed to be heartily in accord with the movement to build n bridge, but it was found that the present petition is illegal inasmuch that a city of this class cannot bo included in outlying torritory in tho formation of a bridgo district. In this case the outlying ter ritory must represent one district and the city another, each to vote bonds proportioned to the assessed valuation.
