Corbett, William Lucas - 1895

On Wednesday morning the passer by on the street saw the insignia of Death hang on the front door of the Judge Corbett residence.  Without further information this was sufficient to announce the death of Judge Corbett.  It was known the night before that the end was at hand.  He expired about 10 o'clock Tuesday p. m.  The most tender and constant attention as given him from the time he was stricken with paralysis – just two weeks before – but all was in vain.

The members of his family were constantly by his side.  While death was not unexpected the community was shocked that it came so quick.  In obedience to the holiest impulse of human nature we reverently pause to contemplate the profoundest mystery of human destiny – the mystery of death.

Judge Corbett, whose death we deplore today, was a man whom Plutarch might have described or VanDyke delineated: massive, rugged and robust; in motion show in speech sonorous and deliberate; grave in aspect; serious in demeanor; of antique and heroic mould; the incarnation of force, energy and power.  Not perplexed by moral abstractions nor mental subtleties, he possessed that assemblage of qualities which makes success in practical affairs inevitable.  He was thorough lawyer, seizing the leading points quickly and with a strong grasp.  His oral arguments were clear, pointed and forcible.  He was wonderfully wrapped up in his profession.  He loved the law, and in the delirium of his last sickness his mind dwelt upon cases and his briefs.

One characteristic of his life the younger members of the Clarion Bar will long remember with tender emotions.  This was his constant willingness to assist them in their cases and law points without recompense or regard.  He delighted to spend hours and even days in going over the law and discussing it with those who dropped in for that putpose [sic].  If one had judge Corbett’s opinion in his favor he felt well armed.  Space will not permit at this time to make an extensive reference to this well known and prominent citizen, but in another issue we hope to give further detail.

Judge Corbett as born on what is now the Cooper farm, immediately east of Clarion borough, February 12,1826.  His education was what the public schools of his day and the Clarion Academy afforded.  When about eighteen years of age he commenced reading law with D. W. Foster, in Clarion.  He was admitted to the Bar early in 1847; and at the time of his death, he was the oldest attorney in actual practice at this bar.  The first year after his admission to the bar he was elected district attorney for Clarion county.

He has always resided at Clarion.  He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania which framed the present constitution of the state.  He represented this Senatorial district in the State senate in 1876-78.  When Judge B. Knox died, Judge Corbett was appointed by Governor Pattison to fill the vacancy until the next ensuing election in November, 1885.  Judge Corbett was the only child of Isaac Corbett and the father on Don C. Corbett, Esq. present district attorney.  A meeting of the Clarion Bar has been called to take appropriate action in the matter of Judge Corbett’s death and funeral.  The funeral takes place at 10 o'clock on Friday.
~ Clarion Jacksonian, 07-Feb-1895

The announcement of the death of Hon. W. L. Corbett, at his residence on Main street, this place, shortly after 10 o’ clock last Tuesday night, will be read with sorrow by thousands of people of Clarion county, as well as throughout the state.  During the later part of the January term of Court, Judge Corbett suffered a slight stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered.  Although everything that medical science could suggest was done for his relief, and he rallied temporarily at times, he sank rapidly and peacefully away as above stated.  Judge Corbett was one of the ablest jurists in Western Pennsylvania, and man honored alike for his learning and unswerving integrity.  He ably represented this district in the State Senate, 1877 and 1878 and on the death of the late Judge Knox was appointed President Judge of this district, a position which he filled during his term of office with much acceptance, judge Corbett was about 69 years of age, and leaves a widow and one son, District Attorney, Don C, Corbett, who was associated with his father in the practice of law at the time of the latter’s death.  The bereaved family have the condolence of the entire community in their bereavement.  The funeral has been arranged to take place from the family residence, Main street, at 10 o’clock, Friday, Feb’y. 8th.

Rimer, David Ayers - 1895

D. A. Rimer was born in Northumblerland county of this state March 4, 1815.  He came of that hardy race of early pioneers, who, leaving behind his house, friends and civilization, started for what was to be in the far west.

His parents, after looking about for some time finally settled in what is now Clarion county, so that Maj. Rimer, as he is more familiarly known, has been a resident of this county for nearly seventy-five years.  A Presbyterian by profession, he was for some time a member of that church at Licking and for the last 40 years at Rimersburg.

In politics he was a Democrat of the old line and witnessed and remembered the changes and evolution of that party.  In the church, in politics and in his dealings among and with his neighbors, it may truly be said of him “He was just a man.”  That he was a kindly man was evidenced by the large number of friends and neighbors who followed his remains to his last resting place in the old Bethesda graveyard, last Sunday.

As he has faced life, so he met death, bravely, calmly, and with an unfaltering faith in that God who had been his through youth, manhood and old age.  The coincidence of his death coming so near that of Judge W. L. Corbett, reminds one of the fact that the men who took part in the founding of this county are rapidly passing away.
~ Clarion Jacksonian, 07-Feb-1895

Maj. D. A. Rimer, a resident just outside the borough of Rimersburg, died last Friday, aged almost 80 years, and the funeral was held Sunday.  Mr. Rimer had been for many years indentified [sic] with the interests of Rimersburg and vicinity, and besides bringing up a large and useful family he also accumulated a considerable amount of wealth of the world.  Dr. J. T. Rimer, formerly of Clarion and Harry M. Rimer, a law student in Hindman & Hockman’s office, are two of his sons.
~ Clarion Jacksonian, 07-Feb-1895

We regret to be called upon to announce the death of David A. Rimer, of Toby township, near Rimersburg, which occurred rather unexpectedly on Friday last.  Deceased had been a resident of this county for 75 years and at the time of his death had attained the ripe old age of about 80 years.  He was a man of sterling qualities and unquestioned integrity and for many years a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.  He leaves a widow and family of eight children, mostly grown to manhood and womanhood, viz.: Dr. J. T. Rimer, of Braddock, formerly of this place, J. P. Rimer, of Sligo; Mrs. Fleming of Ashland, Ky.; Mrs. Grubele, and A. J. Rimer, of Rimersburg; Harry M, Rimer, of Clarion, and D. E. and E. S. Rimer, who are still at home.  All of the children were in attendance at the funeral, which occurred on last Sabbath when the remains were laid to rest in Bethsaida <sic> church graveyard.  H bereaved family and friends have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their sorrow.

Landerer, Benedick (Mrs.) - 1895

While we were champion or nearly so at the last registry, we will not be able to make that claim the next time, as there have been five deaths in this small township of late.

The first was the wife of Wm. Ginkel of Snyderburg.  She was sickly for a long time, well respected by her neighbors, but her death was sudden and unexpected.  Mr. Ginkel is a hard worker and industrious.  She leaves a husband and four children.

The second is Wm. Moore, near Snydersburg.  His family are all grown up.  He is well known and highly respected citizen and was sick over two years.

The third was Jacob Neuland, a good neighbor and good citizen and was noted for his cleverness.  He was about 43 years of age.

The fourth was Frank Snyder, a whole souled, good natured and hard working fellow of about 40 years, died of consumption and leaves a wife and four small children.

The fifth is Mrs. Benedick Landerer, a highly respected and well known lady.  She was well up in 70 years, of strong constitution and was always ready to do a good turn to her many friends and neighbors, whenever called on.

Thus passes away five of as good citizens as we had in the township and their worth was shown by the large attendance at the funerals.  (Knox Township Correspondence)

Love, Lizzie - 1895

The residence of G. W. Wray at North Pine Grove was burned Friday week morning about one o'clock.  The origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to have been caused by an overheated gas stove.  Some household goods on the lower story was saved, but all in the upper story were burned.

The loss will be about $1500, on which there was an insurance of $800.  We understand Mr. Wray will rebuild in the spring.

Miss Lizzie Love, a sister of Mrs. Wray, was in the house at the time of the fire suffering with consumption.  She was moved to a neighboring house where she died Monday morning of this week, death possibly being hastened by the excitement.

Showers, Miles - 1895

An unusually sad experience was that which fell to the lot of Mrs. Daniel Lemon, on last Tuesday evening.  Earlier in the evening a young son of Mr. and Mrs. Lemon had gone up town, and not having returned at nine o'clock, Mrs. Lemon started up town to look for him, going up the alley leading from Liberty to Main street by way of the Masonic block.

Midway between the two streets her attention was attracted by the form of a man lying in the middle of the alley.  On drawing closer she recognized the form as that of her brother, Miles Showers, and was soon essaying to ascertain the cause of his condition, but no sound escaped his lips and the affrighted woman then summoned help and had her brother carried to their home nearby, where Dr. J. F. Ross, who had also been summoned, examined the body, and although it was still warm, the man was pronounced dead.

The deceased was a carpenter by trade, unmarried, and was aged about 51 years.  He made his home with his aged mother in a portion of the house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Lemon, on Liberty street.  Lately he had been engaged in making some repairs at the county jail.  On the evening of his death he had visited several business houses up town, among them being the Clarion Hardware Co’s. store and the Loomis House.  This was about eight o'clock.  About half past eight he was met on his way homeward down the alley.  About nine o'clock he was found dead by his sister.

The place where he was found was a sheet of ice, upon which there were some blood stains next morning, although there was not a cut or bruise visible on the body.  The most reasonable theory advanced is that while walking upon the ice, the unfortunate man’s feet slipped from beneath him, and striking upon the back of his head, concussion of the brain and instant death were the results, although some ascribe heart disease as the immediate cause.  When discovered the body was lying upon its side.  Deceased, although a man of comparatively short statue [sic], weighed about 225 pounds, was a man of quiet, peaceable nature, and was well known in the community.

The bereaved family have the sympathy of relatives and friends in their sorrow.  The funeral will take place on Friday at 10 o'clock a. m.  Interment at Strattanville.

Tuesday evening at about nine M. E. Showers as found by his sister, Mrs. Lemon, in the alley below the Masonic block, in a pool of blood.  He had started home the near way and the last words he spoke were with Thomas McCoy, an attaché of the Jones House.

Mr. Showers had been in his usual health, and he has not complained of any trouble.  He was found on his face with life still in him, but before he could be taken home expired.  There were no marks except a slight abrasion on one cheek.  He had not lain more than five or ten minutes until found.  Mr. Showers was 52 years of age and unmarried.

The funeral will be held tomorrow and the burial at Strattanville.

Smith, David - 1895

It will be remembered by readers that W. N. Anchors, a shoe merchant of Tarentum, Pa., and a native of this county, was accidently killed in Tyler county, Va., on the 23rd of last August, a full account of which was published in the Democrat at the time.

Mr. Anchors, in company with David Smith, a well known attorney of Tarentum, had gone to Virginia to spend a few weeks in recreation, and while driving together in a cart, the horse became factious and began killing, one [of] its hoofs striking [sic] Mr. Anchors, killing him almost instantly.

The remains were taken to Tarentum, and there, owing to the warm weather, interred temporarily, it being the intention of the family to have them interred finally at Clarion.  Accordingly the remains were brought here on Tuesday afternoon’s train, accompanied by Messrs. S. T. Anchors, of Moon Run, Allegheny county, and A. J. and E. W. Anchors, of Tarentum, brothers of the deceased.

They were met at the station by a large number of the friends of the family, from whom pall bearers were selected and by whom the remains were accompanied to their last resting place in Clarion cemetery by the side of those of father and mother Anchors.  The Anchors brothers desire to express their sincere appreciation of the cordial sympathy shown them by their Clarion friends on this, their sorrowful mission.

Beal, Margaret M. - 1895

It is with sorrow that we record the death of Mrs. Margaret E. Beal, sister of Mrs. G. G. Sloan, of Clarion.  The deceased was born near West Monterey, this county, May 5th, 1863 and died at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, on January 10th, 1895, aged 31 years, 9 months and 3 days.

About four years ago she had a very severe attack of typhoid fever. For three weeks she spoke not a word and her life was despaired of.  She rallied at last, but the dregs of the dread disease brought on trouble that necessitated an operation.  By the advice of her attending physician and relatives she went to Mercy Hospital.  When operating the doctors found that she was beyond human aid.  Three days later ended her long years of suffering.

She as a loving daughter, an affectionate sister and kind to all.  Despite her sufferings she was almost always cheerful.  Best of all she was a Christian and died perfectly resigned to God’s will.

Her remains were brought home and interred on Saturday, January 12, mourned by many friends and relatives.  Her four brothers, Daniel, John, Isaac, and Smiley Snider were all pall bearers.  The services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. E. Shaner, who preached the funeral discourse from Psalm 15, and 11th verse: “Thou wilt show me the path of life.  In thy presence there is fullness of joy.  At thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore.”  Rev. H. E. Wieand, of Clarion, was present and assisted in the services.

Hollister, Washington (Rev.) - 1895

Rev. Washington Hollister, who was appointed to Edenburg charge by the last season of the Erie Conference, was stricken with paralysis at 11:30 o’clock, on Thursday, the 3d inst., and died between 6 and 7 o’clock the same evening.

It was a great shock to everyone, but more especially to his church.  He had served the church about three months most acceptably.  He was a sermonizer (notwithstanding his age) of no ordinary ability.  His sermons were eloquent and impressive, which gained for him large congregations.  In all church interests he was interested and progressive.  His gentlemanly deportment and social disposition won him the friendship of all in other churches as well as his own and those outside the church and the children even loved him.

He attended a wedding Wednesday afternoon, was at the place in the prayer meeting in the evening, and on returning home almost every one had some remark to make in regard to the advice he had given to his people.  He was invited out to dinner on Thursday.

After writing  number of letters, he dressed to go and went to the Edenburg Bank, and changed some money and received a check.  On his way to the postoffice he had some conversation with Mr. Hamm, of the Presbyterian church, with reference to the union prayer meeting this week.  When he arrived at the office his speech had partially left him, so that he as obliged to show how many stamps he wanted on his fingers.

Instead of going to Mr. Jolly’s for dinner, he went home.  When he reached his room, to which Mr. Oaks accompanied him, he seemed to want to write, but could not.  He grew worse, so Dr. W. F. Myers was called.  He soon discovered that it was a critical case and had Dr. Wm. Clover called.  They exhausted all their skill to try to save him, but it was unavailing.

His family at Dunkirk, N.Y., was notified by telegram at once, and they replied that they would leave on the 10 o’clock train to get here in the morning.  The message was sent as soon as he died.  Mrs. Hollister and their son, William, came and were on the 9:30 train Friday morning, heart stricken.  Deceased was 67 years of age and had been 37 years in the ministry.

A memorial service was held in the M. E. church Friday evening.  Rev. C. H. Frampton preached an eloquent and appropriate sermon from Numbers 23:10 and X [sic].  “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last be like his.”  He was followed by very appropriate remarks by Rev. F. H. Earseman. A very appropriate statement was made by Mr. J. W. Smith, an official member, voicing the sentiment for the entire church.

The funeral cortege left on the 7:20 morning train, Saturday. Great respect and sympathy were shown to them.  Quite a large delegation accompanied them to Foxburg.  Their other son met them there.

They conveyed the remains to Meadville, where they will be placed in a vault to await the arrival of his daughter, who lives in Utah.  (Knox Correspondence, same issue): Mrs. Hollister not feeling able to move here, he made his home with Mr. and Mrs. D. Oaks, on south Main street.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev. Wm. Hollister, the aged but eloquent and popular M. E. minister of Edenburg, died at that place last Thursday evening.

In the forenoon he went to the postoffice to mail some letters and in buying stamps made gestures but did not speak.  He had been invited out to dinner that day, but at the noontime hour he fell over on the floor, helpless, paralysis claiming him a victim.  About eight o'clock that evening he died.

Services were held Friday evening by Revs. Harshaw and Frampton, in the church and the early train Saturday carried his remains to Meadville for burial.

Mr. Hollister’s wife and son live at Dunkirk, and he served the Edenburg congregation but a few months.  The people of Edenburg were greatly shocked and deeply grieved at the sudden taking away of their pastor.

Phillips, A. C. - 1895

One of the most unexpected of the many sudden deaths we have lately been called upon to chronicle is that of A. C. Phillips, a well known and highly respected citizen of Monroe township, which occurred last Wednesday night.

Mr. Phillips, who was a man of 42 years of age, of apparently excellent physical constitution, and as far as was known, free from any disease or ailment, retired about nine o’clock on that evening in the enjoyment of his usual heath and spirits, his wife remaining up some little time later in order to finish some ironing at which she was engaged.

About 12 o’clock Mr. Phillips got up, walked to the bedroom window and remarked that it was quite cloudy and he should not be surprised to see more snow by next morning.  These are the last words he is known ever to have spoken.

He then retired and as supposed to be sleeping, until his mother, who was sleeping in a room nearby, heard him breathing in a heavy unnatural manner, when she called to his wife, who quickly arose and lighted a lamp, but when she approached the bed she was horrified to find that lie was extinct, her husband having just breathed his last.

The household was quickly aroused ad the neighbors summoned, who all did in their power to console and assist the bereaved family in their dark hour of bereavement.  Heart disease is attributed as the cause of his unexpected death.

He leaves a widow and six children, the eldest of which is but sixteen years of age.  Deceased was the eldest son of Michael Phillips, who lost his life in the battle of Green’s Station, Va., in 1865, at the same age of his son at his disease and leaving the same number of children.

Deceased was a nephew of G. V. Phillips, of this place.  The funeral took place on last Saturday when the remains were interred in Leatherwood Presbyterian cemetery.  The sorrowing family, in their great bereavement, have the sympathy of many relatives and friends.
~ Clarion Democrat, 10-Jan-1895
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
That life is uncertain was demonstrated as an inevitable truth by the sudden death of Alvin C. Phillips, a respected resident of Monroe township, on Thursday of last week, at 1 o’clock a.m.

The event was indeed sad, but made two fold so by its suddenness, the deceased being in the prime of manhood, aged 42 years.  Mr. Phillips was subject to heart affection for some time past, but of late seemed to be recovering.  On the eve preceding his death he was not cognizant of any apparent danger, retiring at an early hour.  The angel of death, who was soon to visit his chamber, gave not a single warning except in denying repose, as he was heard to remark something regarding his inability to sleep.

Later on he arose and going to a window remarked something to Mrs. Phillips regarding the fall of snow and that he desired to arise early the following morning, naming his object for so doing.  He concluded by remarking something relating to the innocence of a child – alluding to his little daughter - and at the same time kissing her, little dreaming that those were his last words and the last good night kiss, or that in the silent watches of the next two hours death should enter the home and he as it were, should be its choice.

At about 11 o’clock the remaining inmates retired.  Sometime after, the deceased’s mother heard curious noise preceeding from her son’s room, and hastening to his bedside, with the assistance of his wife, raised him to a sitting posture where he immediately expired.

The funeral, on account of distant relatives, was delayed until Friday.  The whereabouts of his brother Sylvester not being known, he was not present.  His remains were interred in the Presbyterian cemetery at Leatherwood, of which church he was a member, Rev. Dible, of New Bethlehem, presiding, and delivering an excellent discourse, dwelling upon the necessity of timely preparation for death and extending his sympathy with deepest pathos to the bereaved friends, which is heartily endorsed by the entire community.  (Binkerton, Porter Township, Correspondence)
~ Clarion Democrat, 10-Jan-1895
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alvan Phillips, living on the Trainor farm in Monroe township, died suddenly of heart disease between one and two o’clock Thursday morning.

The day before he had made preparations to do some hauling and before retiring told his mother that he had experienced a queer pulsation or beating of his heart.  His wife did not retire till about 11 o'clock; a few hours later Mr. Phillips arose, looked out at the window and remarked that there were indications of more snow, but if he felt unwell he would not venture out to work.  A short time after he was heard to make a peculiar coughing noise, but before a lamp could be lighted and assistance be given he was dead.

Mr. Phillips leaves a wife and six children and an aged and widowed mother to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father and a devoted son.  He was aged 42 years and had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dible of New Bethlehem and the remains laid to rest in the Leatherwood cemetery.

Fay, Eli (Rev. Dr.) - 1891

Last Sunday, Rev. Dr. Eli Fay preached his last sermon until after the summer season.  During the few months he has been here, Dr. Fay has gathered around him the nucleus for a large and thriving congregation.  His sermons are full of thought and sparkling with new ideas.  His theory of religion, based on a broad, liberal platform, appeals at once to the good sense of those who cannot accept the orthodox views.  Dr. Fay will take a two month’s vacation, when he will again hold services here.

Henderson, Dave - 1891

A Strange Case
How a Widow is in Danger of Losing Her Property.

In this strange world we hear of singular crimes, events and phases of life, and often times the truth is more sensational than the fancy of fiction, but it frequently remains concealed from the public curiosity.  A strange case in this city has been investigated by a reporter of The Kaleidoscope, which is no more or less than an attempt to deprive an estimable lady of her home and property, through the machinations of an unprinciple man.

The lady in question is Margaret D. Walkinshaw, who lives on I street, just south of First street; where she owns good property. For several years, or in fact since her house was built, she has permitted her brother-in-law, Dave Henderson, to occupy two rooms in the rear of the house without remuneration, and he now comes forward and claims the property on the ground of continued possession.  Some few weeks ago he gave a deed of the property to a woman named Turner, who served notice on Mrs. Walkinshaw to vacate the premises at once also notifying a tenant to do the same.

Mrs. Walkinshaw was naturally very much astonished, but more worried, as she did not know to what extremes the interloper might go.  She was annoyed by Henderson until she could endure it no longer, and early last week notified him to take his goods and leave her house.  This he insolently refused to do, and she removed them outside of the building herself and locked the doors leading to the rooms he had occupied.  He came to the house on Friday night of last week, and, finding his chattels without, proceeded at once to break down the door.  She came out and asked what he meant by it and for reply received violent threats.  She went to a neighbor’s and sent after officer Moesser and had him arrested.

He had by this time carried much of his goods into the house, and refused at first to open the door.  He was placed in jail the remainder of the night, and Saturday afternoon taken before Judge Marchant, who released him on $100 bail.  Now the strange part of the case is, how Henderson has any claim to the property, and why he gave the Turner woman a deed.  Mrs. Walkinshaw’s father purchased the land from Lyman, Rich & Hanks, some fifty-six acres in all, and had the deed recorded on March 8, 1858.  On July 14, 1863, he deeded to Mrs. Walkinshaw the property she occupies, some twenty acres, which s also recorded.

On May 4, 1887, she deeded five acres to the Russ Lumber and Mill company, and previous to that sold a right of way to the Southern California company.  The property, together with improvements, is assessed to her and she has paid all the taxes.  She has also paid all insurance, and at different times has had tenants, from whom she has collected rents.  Henderson’s claim is based on the ground that he helped build the house, and having lived there for so long, is in possession.

Mrs. Turner is the woman who had the romantic experience some time ago with one named Nykes.  The latter pretended to be a wealthy old widower and boarded at her home.  In due course of time he fell in love with her and she reciprocated.  Things went lovely until the wedding day (a grand feast had been prepared), when lo! the bridegroom cameth not; and, in anger, and mourning some $50 or $60 of borrowed money, Mrs. Turner sought the aid of the officers.  Sykes was caught and sent up for ten days for toying with the affections of his victim.  Mrs. Turner had an option on the Harlem property at one time, and hard to organize a company for the purpose of establishing a grand sanitarium there which would attract the attention of the world, but for the want of finances it failed to go.  She is well known among the newspaper offices, where she has frequently presently manuscript for publication.  She has not recorded her deed to the property yet, but has been to different lawyers in the city to secure counsel in the case.  It will probably be a long time before she secures possession of the house.

Mrs. Walkinshaw is well known by the older inhabitants here, by whom she is generally called “Aunty”, on account of her warm hearted disposition.  She is ever ready with a willing hand to assist in sickness or distress, and her many acts of charity are appreciated by many warm friends who will certainly come forward in deep indignation when they learn of this contemptible attempt on the part of an unscrupulous scoundrel to deprive her of her property.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave Henderson, the man who tried to steal the property of Mrs. Walkinshaw, an account of which appeared in last week’s Kaleidoscope, was brought up for trial before Judge Marchant last Friday and plead guilty as charged and stated that he had no claim whatsoever to the property.  He was placed under $100 bonds to keep the peace.

Osborne, J. D. N. - 1891

J. D. N. Osborne, the music dealer, had a runaway Thursday morning which might have laid him up with a broken leg.  Bradley’s truck was backing up in front of the store to unload an organ when it careened to one side, scaring the horse, which immediately ran, throwing Mr. Osborne off, the bird wheel of the wagon running over his right leg.  Fortunately, no bones were broken, but he will be confined to his bed several days.  The horse ran down Fourth street, where it collided with a tree, smashing the organ to splinters.
