  ROBERTS - A fatal accident occurred on Saturday near Irwin station, by 
  which a man named John Roberts lost his life. He had been on one of the 
  trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but got off and walked along the 
  track a short distance, when the Johnstown Accommodation west came by. 
  The engine struck him, throwing him clear over the track into the 
  creek, a distance of thirty feet, killing him instantly.
