Show KILLED OX THE ROAD. A Rio Grande Brakemau Eoses His Fife Near the Stone Quarries. Brakeman J. Fisk was killed on the Rio Grande Western near the Thistle stone quarries quar-ries this morning. Down in the death chamber at Taylor's undertaking establishment on West Temple are the remains, horribly mutilated and torn. The coroner's inquest will be held tomorrow morning. Every effort to obtain particulars of the awful affair have been baffled. The coroner, the company physician and the dispatcher have been interviewed in-terviewed with like results. The only light shed upon the casualty is that found on the body. The right arm is reduced to shred and torn from its socket. The wheels of a freight car, under which he was drawn, passed pas-sed obliquely over the face completely des. troj'ing all evidence of identification. The coroner stated this afternoon that he had ascertained nothing beyond the fact that 1'isk was brakeman on a freight train; that while, switching off some cars at the stone quarries he had fallen beneath the wheels ; that the body was loaded on the incoming passenger train for this city and that he had a wife in Michigan wh had been notified of the killing of her hus baud by telegraph. |
