  William R. Ehrenfeld, who met death in a peculiar manner Saturday at 
his rooms in Allegheny, was buried from the residence of his brother, 
Henry Ehrenfeld, in Lilly, on Tuesday.  It is not known whether the 
deceased committed suicide or shot himself accidentally. Ehrenfeld was 
a brakeman on the West Penn railroad and was 35 years of age.  He had 
been in ill health for some time and unable to work.  On the morning of  
his death he had been with his brother, John, until noon when the two 
parted, the former entering his boarding house.  A few seconds later 
his body came rolling down the stairs. He was shot through the left 
breast and died almost instantly. His revolver was found on the stairs.  
His brother, John Ehrenfeld of Allegheny, insists that the affair was 
accidental.
