Died - A man named William Allen of Cambria county, was run over by the 
fast line at Cresson, on Sunday morning of last week. His body was most 
horribly mangled, being completely bisected, and bore evidence of 
having been dragged a considerable distance, the brains of the 
unfortunate man being strewn along the track. He was a widower, but 
leaves no children.
