page four - Accidents - The Bellefonte "Watchman" of last week furnishes us the following: On the 27th ult. (Tuesday) while Mr. Henry Faust, of Port Matilda, was engaged in hauling wood off the ridge, his son, who was upon the loaded wagon, accidentally fell off, and one of the hind wheels passed over his neck, killing him instantly... Mr. John H. Jacobs, of Snow Shoe, gunsmith, having repaired a gun that was left with him, started to take it home to the owner, and thinking he might see something to shoot on the way, took his own gun with him, loading them both. On his way he saw a squirrel run up a tree, and placing one gun on the ground, with the muzzle leaning against his breast, fired at the squirrel; but, while in the act, the other gun was accidentally discharged also, the contents entering his left arm, from the effects of which the unfortunate man bled to death. He was buried on Saturday. / A Sad Casualty - On Monday morning last the keeper of the elks in Judge Packer's deer park, at Packertown, was found dead in the park and his body literally torn to pieces. The discovery was made Mr. Lafayette Lentz, who was driving past. The appearance of the body of the unfortunate man and of the surroundings indicated that he died a most horrible death, having been gored and trodden. The murderous beast was shortly afterwards found with his horns bloody and portions of the dead man's clothing clinging to them. The keeper was a one-armed man named Adam Heinblinger, a German. He was unmarried and had no relatives in this country... A coroner's inquest was held by Thomas Kemerer, Esq., and the body decently interred...."Mauch Chunk Democrat"
