Field, the negro sentenced recently
to life imprisonment Tor being acces-

This negro Field was confined in the

heard Parish speak to Marshall
Stont about Horton, he then advised
Parish to tell that Horton was the

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
The Iron Horse Secures Another Victim
in Thomas HI. EgaD.

in Thomas H. EgaD.
AT $50 Thomas II. Egan, young man
OF IS years, night brakeman in the en-
ploy of the St. Paul Sc Manitoba COM
pany, was crushed to death between two
cars, death resulting almost instantly
The circumstances of the kill
ing as developed at the cor
oner's inquest held at 1880 yes
terday forenoon, is as follows:
Egan, with others, was engaged in max
ing up freight train of cars sent in by
the st. Paul 81 Milwaukee road. The
engine, with one car, was backing up to
the other cars of the train, when Egan
stepped between the two to couple them.
The cars being of different make, and
also, it is thought, the coupling being out
of order, the bumpers slipped by, letting
the cars come together, plnioning
Egan as if in vice. AS the
movement, Eagan released stepped OUT
side the track, sank to the ground and
died almost Immediately.
Other train men who went promptly to
mis- assistance, finding life extinct, placed
his body ON Car door, and removed 1t a
short distance, and in the morning mott
fed Coroner Davenport, by whom jury
was summoned, consisting of Horace
Dunn, George Stahlman, VIM. Preston,
Richard Ireland, VIM. johnson and j.
Ell. Bladock. The jury heard the
evidence of the night Waterman, and the
several train men present, establishing
the facts as above, whereupon verdict
was returned that Egan met his death by
being caught between two cars, caused
by defect in the coupling.
After the inquest the remains were pre-
pared for burial by McCarthy & Donnelly,
enclosed in a neat coffin and removed to
his parents residence, from which he will
be buried ats o'clock Monday morning.
The accident is another argument in IA
vor of general law requiring all freight
cars to be built the samelheight, and with
the same elevation of bumpers
