MAN |Sk|LLED
HERE BY TRAIN
Body Of John Rebar, Alias
Fisher, Found Early Today
Under Hall Avenue Bridge
KILLED ABOUT MIDNIGHT
Was TrackwaIker Who 28
Years Ago Found Body of
Murdered Mary Andersen

John Rebar, alias Fisher, about
sixty years old, of 53S Penn street,
was found dead between the two
tracks OF the Central Railroad under
the bridge at Hall avenue about $40
o'clock this morning by J. f. Kill
comons, OF Atlantic avenue, Mataw-
an, while the latter was tagging a
train. Patrolman Michael Muska
was notified, and he Immediately got
in touch with Coroner James J.
Flynn. who removed the body to his
morgue. 1t is believed the man was
struck by train about midnight
while going to his home.
Rebar y believed to have. been
killed instantly. his head having
been crushed and his right leg
broken. For the last twenty-five
years he has been employed by the
Lehigh Valley, and previous to that
time he was employed by the Central
Railroad of New Jersey as a track
walker.
Freight May Have Hit Man.
Inasmuch as there Is not scheduI-
ed passenger train passing through
this city from shortly after 10 o'clock
until about o'clock, 1t is not thought
likely that passenger train caused
the mans death. Numerous freights
pass through this city at that time
of night. and 1t may be that Rebar
was struck by a freight engine.
According to Coroner Flynn the
man has not been living at home.
The funeral will be held tomorrow.
Various reports have been re-
ceived regarding what Fisher was
doing out at that time Of night. The
police report was that the man had
been to = lawyer early in the night.
Others are that hs attsqdsd : meet
