A sad accident occured last Saturday at an early
hour at Kenzie [sic], a small station west of this
city on the Nickel Plate road.
William Fox,
the nineteen year-old son of
Station Agent L.C. Fox
attempted to board freight train No
39, west bound, to ride a
short distance. He caught hold of the handle bar
on a freight car but was thrown under the wheels
and horribly mutilated, living but a few
moments. Both arms and a leg were cut off and he
received internal injuries of a fatal nature.
The young man was very popular and known to the
trainmen all along the line.
