Fatal Accident at Tyrone.

  The Tyrone Times of yesterday has this item, which our correspondent 
down there did not deem worthy of print: "William Denny, a young man 
about 20 years of age, was killed on Saturday while in the act of 
'catching mules" at the Tyrone scales.  The accident was caused by 
being caught between the bumpers, causing his death instantaneously.  
He was the only support of a widowed mother, who has the sympathy of 
the entire community in her sad bereavement."
