TWO MEN KILLED.
Fatal Result of an Accident to n Freight
Train in the West Yard.

Fatal Result of un Accident to Freight
Train in the West Yard.
Two unknown men, who are supposed
to be trampH, we're killed in an accident
to freight train ON the F., W. & D.
railroad in the vast yard about OF clock
yesterday morning. The train was
proceeding north ut thu time and the
men ware stealing ride on car laden
with trolley poles. 1t is presumed that
the trim parted and when the two
sections came together the men were
caught between tho poles aud the life
was crushed out of them. The bodies
OF both ars badly mutilated and it is
presumed that both met instant death.
Just how the accident occurred Is
not known. but BOON after it happened
the train was stopped and the trHin
men went to the cars containing the
poles and began an investigation. 1t
was found that the two pnle cars had
been damaged and some of the poles
hnd been thrown OF. and the victims
wore found on the ground among the
poles.
The police and Deputy Coroner
Chandler vera at once notified and the
bodies were taken to tho morgue. There
were no marks by which either could be
iuentifi fed.
The cars containing the poles were SO
badly demaged that they we're taken of
and the train prooeedud without them.
several other tramps were on the train,
nnh they were badly iolted, but it is
believed that none Ut them was
seriously hurt.
