sumab1y he was struck by mail

lowing story Of the accident:
I'VE left Lincoln on time and

presume to draw cup of water.
After we had run about two miles,
/ .noticed-that Johnson was missing.
ran on to Greenwood, four miles,
and ,,there told the conductor of a
work train what had happened. We
uncoupled the engine, attached it to
a caboose and went back to Wav-
erly. There, about so feet east of
the mail crane, we found Johnson
lying on the ground, unconscious,
with his face and head badly cut
and crushed" q
AT Waverly johnson was placed
in a way car and taken to Lincoln,
dying enroute.
Johnson had been in the employ
of the Burlington 80 years. His fam
