AT THE SHAW BUSINESS COLLEGE
Byron Foss.

Byron Foss of North Arson was in
stantly killed by being struck by the
engine on the night passenger, Satur-
day evening. 1t appears that he was
returning from Madison and was
walking on the track a short distance
south of the crossing on Union
street. When the train came in sight
of Foss the engineer gave the signal
and continued to do so and seeing
that no attention was paid to the
alarm the brakes were applied and
the traiu brought to stop as soon as
possible, but as the train was run
ming on a down grade the weight of
the ears pushed the engine and the
speed could not be checked soon
enough to prevent the accident. Mr..
Foss was taken out from under the
train in a badly mangled condition.
Undertaken Lincoln at once took
charge of the body and had it re-
moved to his rooms on Main street.
Coroner, L. j. Addition of Skowhegan
was summoned but was unable to
arrive until Monday morning. No
inquest was held as it was not thought
necessary as there were several eye
witnesses to the accident. Mr.. Foss
was the son of Eli and Elvira Foss
and was born in Embden 40 years
ago. For the past twenty years or
more he had been a resident of this
town and had been employed for a
long time in the saw mills here. He
was faithful, hard working man and
was always on duty in the mills. He
leaves widow, one brother and
three sisters. The funeral was held,
Monday afternoon, at two O'Clock in
