Killed on Northern Cambria

Carrolltown, Aug. 9 -- Charles Carlson, for a number of years a resident 
of St. Benedict and more recently engaged at his occupation as a miner at 
Bakerton, was killed by a trolley car on the Northern Cambria street 
railway between Foxburg and St. Benedict's shortly before last midnight.  
The man was lying on the track when one of the large trolley cars bore 
down on him, the motorman not being able to see the man until his car was 
a few feet away, owing to the fact that the headlight did not sweep the 
track at that point, which is on a curve.  Carlson was about 45 years of 
age and is survived by his widow and four children, who are residents of 
Johnstown.
