Workman on Flood Project Killed Almost Instantly
Heavy Steel Yoke Crushed Chest of Franklin, Pa. Man At H. T. Osburn Co. Yards On Bank Street Thursday Afternoon.
An employe of the H. T. Osburn Co., flood control project contractor, was almost instantly killed about 2:45 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the company's yard on Bank St.
The victim was Harry Thompson, 36 or 37, of Franklin, Pa. Death was ascribed to a crushed chest.
A truck driver, Mr. Thompson was operating a payloader an earth moving device. He was attempting to move an "A" frame on a bulldozer a yoke of steel weighing about 3,000 pounds which had been repaired.
The heavy steel yoke, attached to the arms of the payloader by a chain, had been hoisted into the air. The chain holding it snapped when the operator lowered the bucket of the payloader in trying to maneuver the equipment forward out of a mudhole.
The "A" frame slid down the arms of the payloader and struck the operator in the chest, crushing him against the back of the seat.
Robert Engelman, also of Franklin, Osburn superintendent, called for a physician and ambulance.
Dr. George Mosch and an ambulance from the Grabe Funeral Home were on the scene within five minutes. The physician said Mr. Thompson died shortly after he arrived.
Chester and Stanley Petrosewitz, of Coudersport, and Edward Bruno, of Cochranton, fellow workers, were standing nearby and witnessed the accident.
They said Mr. Thompson raised his arms as the heavy steel yoke hurtled toward him. His body was bent backward over the seat by the weight.
"Had he moved his head forward," said Chester Petrosewitz, "he would not have been scratched. The "A": frame would have ridden over him on the arms of the payloader."
Mr. Engleman, working in another part of the yard, did not witness the accident.
The body was removed to Grabe's. It was taken to Franklin Thursday night for burial.
Coroner Earl A. Brown issued a certificate of accidental death.
Mr. Engelman said Mr. Thompson was married but had no children. His wife is suffering from a heart condition, the superintendent said.
It was the first major accident involving an Osburn worker since the flood control project was started a year ago. The company is getting ready to resume work on the project.
Mr. Engelman said it was the first fatal accident on a job under his supervision. "It was a terrible thing," said Mr. Engelman. "Harry was a top workman with us."
Local Surgeon Ousted
Dr. Robert H. Kazmierski has been expelled from the Potter County Medical Society, State Medical Society and the American Medical Association.
A statement has been issued by the Potter County Medical Society over the signature of Dr. George C. Mosch, of Coudersport, the president. The statement follows:
"The following news release has been prepared by the Potter County Medical Society in response to a request by a local newspaper (The Potter Enterprise Ed.) for information:
"On June 17, 1953, the Censors of the Potter County Medical Society unanimously recommended that Robert H- Kazmierski, M. D., Coudersport, Pennsylvania, be expelled from the County Medical Society on the basis of specific charges brought against him in writing on May 22, 1953, covering actions over a period of several years.
"On July 17, 1953, all members of the Potter County Medical Society present at the meeting unanimously voted to expel Dr. Kazmierski from the local society. Dr. Kazmierski appealed this decision to the Board of Censors of the Seventh Councilor District of the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania (this Board is composed of a representative censor from each of the seven societies in the district) at a meeting in Williamsport on March 7, 1954. Charles L. Youngman, M. D., Williamsport. Pennsylvania, the District Councilor and a Trustee of the State Medical Society, presided at the meeting. After hearing the charges presented by the Potter County Medical Society and Dr. Kazmierski's defense against these charges, the Board of Censors unanimously upheld the County Society in its action of expelling Dr. Kazmierski. This expulsion automatically makes him ineligible for continued membership in the Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania and in the American Medical Association.
"However, we wish to make it clear to the public that this action in itself does not affect Dr. Kazmierski's right to practice medicine. Dr. Kazmierski has the further right to appeal to the Board of Trustees and Councilors of the State Medical Society, which is the highest authority in the State."
Announce Arrival Of A Daughter
Mr. and Mrs. William Hughes are the proud parents of a daughter born on St. Patrick's Day at the Port Allegany hospital. She weighed six pounds, 14 ounces. The little one will answed to the name Patti Ann.
Mother and baby will return home from the hospital today.

Mrs. Claude Fessenden Wins Verdict In Suit Against Local Man.
Mrs. Claude Fessenden, 63-year-old East Second St. woman, was awarded $8,000.00 in a suit asking for $30,000.00 Saturday afternoon. The case went to trial Friday morning.
Defendant in the suit was Edwin P. Wetzel, service station worker who lives off East Second Street. A car driven by Mr. Wetzel struck Mrs. Fessenden early on the morning of Sept. 24, 1952 as the woman was crossing East Second St. from her home. An employe of the Coudersport Laundry at the time, Mrs. Fessenden was on the way to work.
Mr. Wetzel and Roger Butz, of Ulysses, passenger in the Wetzel car, both testified that the driver made a futile effort to avoid hitting the woman, who suffered an ankle injury. Mrs. Fessenden was threatened (Continued on Page ?)

Arrested by State police of the Coudersport sub-station, Fletcher was jailed in Wellsboro awaiting court action on an aggravated assault and battery and assault with intent to maim charges. He is being held in property bond by Justice of the Peace James Kizer, of Elkland. Recovering from cuts including a three-inch gash above the kidney, Short was treated twice on the day of the incident by an Elkland physician, Dr. Harry Williams. A dispute over route directions reportedly led to the argument. The two men and two minors were returning home from a round of festivities at a restaurant-bar.
Fletcher reportedly first pulled a hunting knife from the glove compartment and tried to stab Short while the car was in motion. When that didn't work out, he got his little razor blade -which he said he carried to trim calluses on his feet!
Leaving the car, the men rolled around in a field adjacent to Highland Cemetery. It was there that Fletcher allegedly got in his licks with th "bunion peeler."
The cutting came to the attention of police when Elkland officer Whitehill learned that Short was being treated by Dr. Williams. Fletcher's arrest followed.

However, it was brought out that taxes had been paid on the property by Mrs. Stanley C. Welfling, wife of the county treasurer. [It's a procedure not without precedent and perfectly proper. Ed.] But apparently, no record of the transaction was made.
Mr. Lamphier sued to take title to the tract as direct result.

Body of Missing Hickox Man is Found in River Near His Home
The body of a Hickox man missing since Dec. 28 was discovered about 4:00 p. m. Thursday in the Genesee River, less than a mile from his home.
Arthur Ransom, 78-year-old partial cripple, apparently was a drowning victim. The full clothed body, | in remarkably good state of preservation, was discovered along the river bank at the rear of the home of Donald Worden, employe of a Wellsville factory. It was Mr. Worden who saw the body of the man lying in the water.
Break-up of ice in the river led to the discovery. Mr. Worden had gone to the rear of his yard to check on a jam at a fork in the stream which he had noted the day before. The body of Mr. Ransom was lying close to a three-inch thick sheet of ice swept against the bank. The water in the stream was higher than usual because of snowmelt and thawing ice.
Coroner Earl A. Brown issued a certificate of death from drowning. State police, who were summoned by Mr. Worden, saw nothing untoward in the death of' Mr. Ransom who was last seen by the woman he lived with between 11:00 and 12:00 midnight on December 27.
Scores of Genesee and Hickox men and boys searched the river for days in the belief Mr. Ransom may have stumbled into the water and drowned shortly after leaving his home. Firemen of Genesee led about 85 searchers working under the direction of Frank Hurd, a deputy sheriff, on the final day of the organized hunt.
Belief was expressed that the body had been concealed by the ice covering the stream until the break-up the road leading to a bridge over the Genesee near Mr. Ransom's home was ice covered and difficult to negotiate in a car. Their story heightened the belief held from the beginning that the aged man might have slipped and tumbled down the bank into the water.
Nothing New to Deputy After 45 Years
Tragedy in the Genesee area is nothing new to Deputy Sheriff Frank Hurd. In the 45 years he has served as deputy, he has had a hand in the investigation of 22 or 23 deaths attributable to mishap or self-destruction, he said Thursday. "I have seen a lot of this sort of' thing around here in my time," said Mr. Hurd, now retired from gainful employment. "You get used to it after a while."
According to Mrs. Ransom, who is said to be a blood relative of' the drown man, her husband crept out of the house as she slept in a chair. Apparently, there had been a quarrel and Mrs. Ransom was reported as saying that when "he is found he'll have a black eye and a cut on his knee." Examination of the body disclosed an injury of the right eye but no marks on either knee.
A wallet found in Mr. Ransom's hip pocket contained $8.00 in bills and 63c in change. A safety razor was found in another pocket. Coroner Earl A. Brown ruled out an autopsy after two pathologists said Under direct examination,...
