  On Sunday morning Thomas N. Sutton, a boy aged 12 years, son of James 
and Mary Sutton of Flynn's Mills, (Collier's Station), on the line of 
the Pennsylvania and Northwestern railroad in Blair county, was sent to 
Blandburg, this county, on an errand.  This was about 7 o'clock.  At 10 
o'clock his dead body was discovered by a couple of other boys at the 
side of an embankment along which at one time ran a tramway for hauling 
logs. The boy had evidently been walking this old road when he slipped 
and fell.  In his endeavor to save himself, it is supposed he loosened 
some stones with the result that the embankment gave way and falling on 
him, broke his neck.  His body when found was partially covered by 
debris.  Deceased was the son of James and Mary Sutton and was 12 years 
old on March 10th last.
