WALTER STEVENS IS KILLED BY FREIGHT
Man Misses Footing in attempt to Board Train

	Walter Stevens, aged 28 years, a plumber, who had been in the employ of E.S.
Roe here, was run over and killed by an east bound Lake Shore freight train last
Thursday night at the Scott street crossing in South Bend.  The accident
occurred at 6 o’clock.
	In an attempt to board the train while it was in motion he missed several cars
and then slipped under the car which passed over his right leg, crushing it
above the knee cap, according to the story told by the conductor, J.W. Struck.
He was hurried to Epworth hospital where Dr. S.L. Kilmer amputated the leg.  He
died a short time after the operation.
	In the brief period of consciousness before he died the man gave his name and
address and said he had a wife and daughter living.  The wife was notified and
arrived in South Bend Friday morning to bring the body to Buchanan where the
funeral took place Monday.
	Aside from his widow, Stevens leaves one child, four brothers and two sisters.
 He was en route to his old home at Columbus, O., when the accident occurred.
