ALTOONAN'S BROTHER KILLED AT PITTSBURG
Carlton Bales, of Huntingdon, Fatally Hurt on Motorcycle

  Carlton Bales, brother of Harry Bales, of this city, died at a 
Pittsburg hospital yesterday morning from injuries received Thursday 
night when he figured in a motorcycle crash in the Smoky City.
  Bales was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident, 
particulars of which are lacking.  His relatives in this city were 
apprised of the young man's serious condition, and his father, John A. 
Bales, and his sister Lorena, both of Huntingdon, hurried to his 
bedside.  The victim passed away shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday 
morning.
  Bales was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Bakes and was born at 
Huntingdon 23 years ago.  Several years ago he went to Wilkinsburg and 
was employed by the Westinghouse company.  He was a machinist.  His 
parents survive with two brothers, Harry, this city, and George, 
Burnham, Pa., and two sisters, Misses Lorena and Marguerite, both at 
home.  The body was taken through this city last night to Huntingdon, 
where funeral services and burial will take place tomorrow.
