OLD MAN IS KILLED IN TUNNEL
Vernon County Citizen Meets Strange
and Tragic Death

Andrew Anderson, one of the oldest
residents of Greenwood township, was
killed by freight train in the tunnel
north of Elroy early last Thursday
morning. MIR. Anderson was SO years
of age. He left home on Monday morn
ing and walked to Elroy. It is said he
took train at Elroy and went to Bar
aboo, where he consulted a lawyer re-
garding some property he wanted to
sell. Upon his return to Elroy he told
parties that he intended to walk to
Minneapolis to visit his daughters. and
il was upon this journey that he met
mis- frightfui death. Why he entered
the tunnel no one viii ever know. Ii
is said that before entering he had re
moved his shoes, leaving them on the
outside and had walked into the tunnel
about two hundred feet when hit by
the train.
Anderson had over $500 in money in
his pockets when found, and why he
started to walk to Minneapolis appears
to be a mystery. An inquest was held
at Elroy. After viewing the body and
hearing testimony, the jury found that
Anderson was accidently killed by an
east bound extra freight train.
A son, Martin Anderson, and Chas
Caieson went TO Elroy and took charge
of the body and removed it to the home
of the former near Wood. Funeral
was held Monday and burial made in
Wool cemetery, Mr. Anderson is sur
vived by an aged widow and several
children. Hillsboro Sentry.
