John Henry, a Big Four Brakeman, Meets a Tragic Death Last Saturday near New Ross
The regular freight on the Big Four Road which reaches New Ross about 1 o'clock in the morning was wrecked by some cause last Saturday and traffic delayed for several hours. In the wreck of the fright train a brakeman was caught in the smash up and had his life crushed out. His home is said to be in Cincinnati. The eastbound express train did not get past New Ross until 7 o'clock. The cause of the wreck is not known.-- kbz
