  STEELTON, July 11. - While working in the yards of the Bethlehem

His body was completely passed over by the engine and several cars, and 
was badly mangled.

Highspire Railroad for about twelve years.  He had resided at Roop and

that borough.  He was a prominent lodge man, belonging to several 
fraternal orders, among which are the P. O. S. of A. and the Red Men.
  Mr. Dayhoff is survived by his wife and one son, three years old.
