Brakeman Killed at Hanover.

Friday morning as the Grand Island freight was leaving the west yard at Hanover,
a brakeman was killed. He was noticed last, walking on top of a car holding a
piece of paper on one hand, which he appeared to be reading. The supposition is
that he walked off the car, fell and was instantly killed. The train went on and
as it arrived at Hollenberg, the conductor informed by wire from Hanover that
the body had been discovered. The body was badly mangled, as it had been run
over by the train. Esquire Reitzel of this city, was summoned an inquest was
held, the verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. The name of
the young man was Frank B. TOPPAN and the remains were conveyed to his home at
Minden, Neb.
