rear brakeman, had given the signal to
leave the station. The engineer in
starting out had started SO fast that it
is supposed that Hullinger saw he could
board the weigh car and he attempted
to catch one of the box car ladders but
failed twice; the third time was success
full but in some manner he lost his hold
and fell striking on his head. He made
an attempt to get up and by that means
his feet and legs were caught under the
wheels and completely severed from his
body while his clothing became en-
tangled in the break beams and his body
was drawn under the wheels and eleven
box cars run over it. When recovered
the body was terribly mangled and por-
tions of it adhered to the car wheels. VIM.
Hullinger was born September IS, 1868,
and was raised in Decatur county, son
of D. j. Hullinger. He was married to
Nettie Henderson, daughter of Jerry
Henderson, also of Decatur county, who
together with five children survive him,
also father, six brothers and four Sis
ters and large concourse of relatives
and friends. For to know him was to
be his friend. Ye correspondent who
has known him since boyhood ever
knew him as an honorable upright man
and boy, ever ready to do kind act or
favor for all and the last time we met
him was in the home where death had
claimed three of the inmates in less
than six weeks. He was there to help
the bereaved ones both for sympathy
and finance; thus, was it only one of the
many favors and acts of kindness he
was ever doing through life and today
his aged father says he never gave him
one unkind word. He was member of
the Baptist church and had been for
several years. He left Decatur county
about three years ago going to Wymore,
Nebraska. While there he engaged in
farming and tried to get a position
there as brakeman but was debarred on
that road on account of his age. He
then went further west where he Sc

of his death. He was an honored mem
