Luke Dennigan, well known to the rail-
road men of the Pittsburg division of the B.
& o died at the home of his son, J. J. Den
nigan, al Bennett station, Allegheny coun-
~, Sunday. Dennigan's mind was weak
and he starved himself TO death for fear he
would be poisoned. His peculiar hallueina
ton was the result of mental troubles
brought on by an old wound in the head
which he received when struck by an engine
while he was removing huge rock which
threatened TO wreck the oncoming train.
About six years ago this fall Bennigan
was employed as a atrsckwaIker on the Balti
more & Ohio railroad al 0aiopyle. One
dark night while tramping his lonely round
he discovered huge boulder on the track,
