DIED - RYAN - On Friday evening, an employee of the railroad at 
Altoona, named John Ryan, in attempting to jump on the fast line, while 
it was leaving the depot, unfortunately missed his footing and fell to 
the track, and one of his legs was so badly crushed as to render 
amputation necessary.  He was on his way to Johnstown, where his family 
resides.  Intelligence was received on Saturday of his death about 11 
o'clock.
