DIES FROM INJURIES

  Walter Cramer, who formerly was employed at the Aetna explosives works but 
since it closed had begun to sell wood from the pinmill at Mount Union, 
using one horse and a wagon, on last Tuesday sustained an unfortunate 
accident from which he died in the Blair Memorial hospital Friday at 
midnight.  His horse scared at the dinkey engine of the Harbison-Walker 
brick plant, and he was thrown from the high wagon seat, striking with his 
abdomen across a log.  Thereafter the physician could secure no movement of 
the bowels.  He was brought to the hospital on Friday evening, but died 
almost before necessary treatment could be decided upon.  He was aged 24 
years and leaves a young wife whom he recently married.  The body was taken 
to Mount Union.
