operating means more than thousand
dollars a day.

Martin johnson, 13 year old son of
Gilbert johnson, who conducts restau-
rant at Mcfarland, was killed in that
village by the west going passenger train
Sunday evening. The accident occurred
aUOuI lU u ClOCh. mo Ou0 S0oUlS 10 KNOW
just how it happened. Martin wore
large ulster and some believe that he
was standing on the east end of the de-
pot platform too close to the passing
train, which in some way caught in the
coat and pulled him along. He was
picked up on the main crossing with his
face badly torn and lived only ten min
utes. No other injuries were found A
number of young men were in the habit
of jumping on incoming trains at the
east crossing and riding into the station
and it was often the case that the
younger element tried to initiate the
older ones. Martin may have under
taken to step onto the car platform as
the train was slowing up ard missed his
footing.
