Special to the Tribune.
  Lewistown, January 16. - James D. Blett, aged 30 years, was instantly 
killed at Standard Steel works today when two locomotive box rings toppled 
over as he passed through the door, fracturing his skull.  He had just 
returned to work this morning for the first time after an eight weeks' 
struggle with the flu.  He leaves a wife and one child.  He was a son of ex-
sheriff W. J. Blett, gardener at the Huntingdon industrial reformatory.
