A sad accident occurred in the rail-
which Lester Penewell a brakeman
on the ST. Paul railway, was killed.
In making a coupling he was caught
between two cars and lived only one
hour after the accident. 1t appears
that one of the cars was defective and
when they came together the bumpers
slipped by each other and caught him
between the cars. He has two brothers
who are employed by the same COM
pany. His home was in TOmah where
his remains were taken for burial,
Friday night.
