KILLED BY FALL

Fractured Skull Thursday
Morning.

Ed. Lafferty, aged 30 a fireman on
the L. & N. train, No. 81, due to ar
rive here at 6 AS a. M, fell from the
cab of his engine near Shearer Sta
ton a short distance from Ford
Thursday morning sustaining injuries
from the effects of which he died
Just how he came to fall is not
known, as the engineer was not look
ing at him at the time and the train
had gone some distance before he was
missed. After he was missed, the
train backed until they found him.
He was picked up unconscious and
brought to this city where medical
aid was given him by Drs. Cole and
Shirley, but without avail, as he died
shortly after he arrived here. He
sustained a fractured skull, broken
arm and several severe cuts and
bruises about the head and body. The
body was prepared for burial by the
Hall Undertaking establishment and
sent to his home in Ludlow for burial.
1t could not be learned whether he
was married or single. He had been
in the employ of the company for
several years.
