Wednesday at Layton, three miles west of Veedersburg, Harry Julian met a tragic death. Julian was a Big Four brakeman and was with the east bound local freight. In some way he slipped or lost his balance and was thrown between the moving cars. He fell beneath the wheels and was ground to pieces. The unfortunate young man was well known here, he having been at one time a citizen of Crawfordsville.
