Show A BRAKEMAN KILLED. Yesterday afternoon, David Thomas, a twenty-year-old son of Bishop Daniel F. Thomas of Lynne, who had for a short time since been engaged as brakeman on the C.P.R.R., met his death in a sudden and deplorable manner. He was on the top of a box car while the train was going down the steep grade from Promontory, and was suddenly precipitated to the ground, the fall being so severe that he had his head severely bruised and one of his legs crushed. The same evening he was relieved of his sufferings by death, and his remains were brought to this city, this morning. We deeply sympathize with the family in their sad affliction. The funeral services will be held in the Lynne meeting house, at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning. - Ogden Herald 31st. |
