nine years, former employe of the
South Shore railway. fell under the
wheels of moving freight engine on
the south track OF the Third street
railway crossing at Marquette at 5:l5
o'clock Saturday afternoon. and was
almost instantly killed. The wheels
OF the tender and locomotive passed
over his legs, rangling them horribly
II required ten minutes 10 extricate
his body from it's position between
the snow pillow and the pilot wheels of
the engine. Before this had been ac-
complished he had passed away. The
fagman at the Third street crossing
was the only eye witness TO the fatal
lily. The engine was backing in from
the Mackinaw Yards to go TO tho
houndhouse in the west Yards. As II
approached the crossing. the flagman
noticed man apparently standing on
the brake beam at the rear of the
tender. The man was Johnson. He
either attempted TO jump at the cross
ing or as his position was a most un-
safe one. lost his balance. Neither
the fireman nor the engineer. the
only persons on the engine when the
accident occurred, knew that anyone
was riding on the tender, and il was
only when they heard the tender
wheels rattle that the engine was
stopped. II came to a standstill twen-
~ feet from the place where the mans
lat was found, and where it is pre-
sumed he fell under the wheels
