Crushed to Death |
We learn that a brakeman on
the Mobile & Ohio railroad, an Irishman, named Connelly, was
crushed to death on Monday last, in sight of Humboldt. He fell between
two cars, and five cars passed over him, cutting off both legs near
the hips. In this condition he lived an hour and a half, retaining his
consciousness. His friends reside in New York. |
