 Life Crushed Out.
 Luther A. Simons of Danbury, a brakeman working on the freight cars at Danbury Thursday night. was caught between the couplers of two cars as they came together and was fatally crushed. There are two theories as to the manner in which the accident happened The first is contained in the report by the yard master and it is that MT. Simons had stepped n between the cars to open the knuckles of the couplers prepara- tory to coupling the cars, and as the cars were coming together, he slipped and fell between the heavy iron coup lers The other theory which is given by the men about the yard is that he was on the beams between the two cars as they started to move he lost his foothold on the beam, which was slippery with ice, and was caught be- tween the couplers as he fell. The body was crushed across the abdomen by the heavy couplers which practi- cally cut him in two.
