a gloom of sorrow Wednesday morn
ing when it became known that
LOUISE Horner had been run over and
instantly killed by a c., M. & st. Paul
train near the city of Dubuque at
what is called the rock crest, Wednes-
day morning, August %. He was on
his way to work, walking down the
Illinois Central railroad track to the
Dave Welsh rock quarry where he
was employed Noticing a north
bound train approaching, he stepped
from the track onto the Milwaukee
tracks, not noticing train coming
south toward him. He was struck by
this train and instantly killed. The
unfortunate young man was identi-
fled by Mr.. Welsh, who at once wired
Harry Hood, a brother living in
British Hollow of the sad accident.
Harry lost no time in reaching Du-
buque, there to gaze on the mangled
remains of his only brother. The
body was taken to Coroner Fuller

pared for shipment. The remains, ac-
companied by the sorrowing brother,
were brought to POtosi over the Bur-
lingtOn, Thursday morning and
thence taken to the home of his heart
broken foster parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jonathan HOrner in British Hollow.
The funeral took place Friday after
