Gazette Bulletin (Williamsport, Pennsylvania) November 18, 1879
James McGuire, the young man who was accidently shot on Friday at his home in Germantown, died on Saturday morning.
On Friday morning he said to his mother, an aged lady, that he intended to go gunning. His mother protested, and
grasped the gun which he was carrying. During the struggle the hammer caught in her clothing and the gun was discharged
the shot entering the left breast of the son.
Albert Shenk, of Annville, one of the best known baseball players in the Lebanon valley, narrowly escaped death in terrible form at the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company's coke plant. Blinded by smoke, Shenk stepped backward into the machinery of the plant, and his right leg had already been drawn between two cog-wheels when a fellow-workman saved his life by cutting the belt operating the machinery. A large chunk of flesh was torn off the calf of Shenk's leg and he lost a large amount of blood.
