Brakeman John Hogan aged about
twenty-four years, whose home was in
Mortified, was killed in the railroad yard
at ST. Adams about two o'clock Saturday
morning. just as the freight train on
which lie was employed entered the south
end of the yard he fell, as is supposed, be-
tween the cars, and his body was doubled up
in such way that very many bones were
broken by the wheels passing over him.
His flesh was not mangled at all, and this
apparently strange fact is accounted for by
the supposition that the wheels Of the empty
cars as they struck him were resisted in
such manner by the extra thickness of the
clothing he wore as to prevent any serious
cutting into the flesh. Two or three cars
were found TO be off the rails and it is
thought they were so thrown by contact
with the unfortunate mans body.
