  Somerset Herald: The citizens of Confluence were horrified Tuesday 
morning, on learning that one of the young men of the village - F. W. 
Seibert - had been found dead in his father's barn.  He had been 
drinking freely with some companions until late Monday night, and when 
very much intoxicated was carried to the barn, where he was left lying 
under a tattered roof, through which the heavy rain of the night poured 
in torrents over his unconscious body.  The exact hour and immediate 
cause of his death are known.  The father is both blind and deaf, and 
the young man was the principal support of the family.  He bore a good 
reputation among the people of Confluence, and rarely drank to excess.
