Killed by Train

John Bishop on Railroad Velocipede Run Down Last Night

While crossing a railroad bridge near Sand River about 10:30 last evening, John
Bishop, who was riding a railroad velocipede, was run down by a South Shore
extra train and killed.  His body was brought to Marquette on train No. 7, which
arrived about 12:30 this morning.

Mr. Bishop had been employed as a brakeman on the South Shore and early in the
week left on the railroad velocipede to hunt along the east end of the line.  He
was coming home last evening when he was met by the eastbound extra train and
killed.  Mr. Bishop's parents live at Sand River, but he is well known in this
city and has relatives here.  His wife died in Marquette a few months ago.  he
was about twenty-two years of age.
