BUTLER - The STANDARD says, that Winfield Butler of Martinsburg, left 
home on Saturday last intending to go to Coalmont, Huntingdon county, 
for the purpose of transacting business. On the evening of the same day 
a boy passing along the Broadtop railroad track, between Coalmont and 
Dudley, found Mr. Butler's body extended across the track, severed in 
two. The unfortunate man leaves a wife and three children. The cause of 
the terrible accident is unknown.
