  George Horning, aged 50 years, a foreman employed in the new tunnel 
work at Gallitzin, was killed Friday evening by a scaffold breaking 
under him while he was directing a gang of workmen.  Horning had 
climbed on the scaffold to show his men how to lay the brickwork in the 
tunnel.  When the scaffold collapsed he was struck by one of the heavy 
timbers and suffered a crush of the skull. The dead man has a wife and 
family residing at Mifflin, where the remains were taken for interment.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, September 25, 1903
