The news of the death of Percy
Braillett, who was killed by a Nickel
Plate train at his home at Glen Park
Ind, five miles from Hobart, reached
here on Thursday evening. The in
formation states that the lad. who with
several companions, was going over a
train and, he being the last one over
met his fate.
The boy, who is II years old, seemed
to have a desire to Flip" trains on
several occasions he narrowly escaped
with his life. When a small boy he
had part of his foot taken off, which
had left him a cripple This, however
did not prove to be a severe enough
lesson and in spite of the warnings
OF his parents he insisted upon continu-
ally climbing over and riding on trains.
The Braillett family lived in Whiting
until about one year ago when they
movod to Glen Park.
The shock of the son being killed
has made the mother almost a raving
maniac, for it also brings back the
event of just about two years ago, when
her daughter, Agnes BraiIlett. who was
10 years old, met similar fate as that
with which has caused the untimely
death of her brother.
The young lady, in company with
her brother-in-law, was walking down
the Pennsylvania tracks to her home
in Central avenue. At the Sheridan
avenue crossing a train UNEXPECTEDLY
came up in back of the couple and
crushed out the life of the young girl.
To think of a mother and father again
having to go through such an awful
ordeal is almost impossible to be-
iieve, and they have the sympathy of
the Whiting people.
