During the storm Monday afternoon, which was quite severe north of town, a fatal accident occurred on what is known as the Edgar farm in Cecil township in the McConnell neighborhood, Thomas Smith, formerly of Canonsburg, who lives on the farm, and his son Walter, a boy of 16 years, were engaged in hauling in oats when the storm came on. The wind blew very strong and frightened the team, which ran away. Walter Smith, who was on the load of grain, was thrown off and instantly killed.
