A shocking accident, resulting in the death of Dennis B. Dimond, occurred on the

train ran over him, killing him instantly. He was engineer of the Branch freight
train, but was not running the train at the time of the lamentable occurrence. The
deceased was a resident of Gaysport, a worthy, industrious citizen, and leaves a
wife and four children to deplore his loss. He was a native of Cambria county, where
his remains were taken for interment.—Standard.
