empaneled a jury to inquire into the
nature and cause of the death of Edward
Conner, who died from injuries received
at the West Yard on Monday. The tes-
timony Of the engineer and a worker in
a shop near by was heard, but neither
knew much about the accident The
inference was that the man was working
alongside the track at the time and did
not notice the engine coming, he was
struck by the bumper and knocked on
his hands and knees, after which he
rolled over on his back The coroner was
directed to procure the fireman Of the
engine and a section boss as witnesses,
after which the jury adjourned until to-
day at 3 o'clock.
