| SO west bound at p. M, Saturday near
the Huntley tower. The old gentle.
man was making his annual "back
door" calls in the direction of Sterl-
ing Run, and was killed on what he
supposed to be the double track. He
has been through this place several
times in the last fifteen years and was
well known, and the general SUPPOSE
ton is, THAT this being his first trip
through here since one mile of the
west end of double track was thrown
out of service a short-time ago and
used as a siding, that he thought he
was on the right track for west
bound train and paid no attention.
The train was running at high rate
of speed and he was knocked about
fifty feet; none of the train crew saw
him. The body was discovered by the
train crew on the second section who
notified track foreman w. w. johnson
and he was the first man on the ground.
