GIRL KILLED BY MOVING TRAIN

A sad accident occurred Sunday evening near the Freight Depot in Payette when 
Margaret Thompson, 16 years of age, whose parents live in Vale, was almost 
instantly killed by No. 6 east bound passenger as it pulled into the Depot. 
Miss Thompson had been visiting at the home of W. G. Pennington on 7th Street 
and 7th Avenue North for several days and was on the way to the depot in 
company with Miss Madge Pennington and a young man from Weiser. They were 
walking along the track near the water tank as the train was approaching and 
seeming not aware of being so near the track when the engine struck Miss 
Thompson, knocking her unconscious to the ground, causing a fracture of the 
skull. Dr. I. R. Woodward, Railroad Physician, was immediately called and took 
the unfortunate girl to Ontario on No. 6 where she was removed to the Hospital 
and died about five minutes after arriving.
