Killed by the Cars.
Wednesday evening between six and seven o’clock a brakeman on the Santa Fe 
railroad by the name of Gossen was run over by the cars in the Wabash yards 
at R.&L. Junction, and killed while making a coupling. He went in between the
cars for the purpose above stated, and his foot got fastened in the frog to 
the switch and the cars pulled him down, passing over his body and crushing 
the life out of him. He was a young man and his home was in the state of
Michigan. We failed to learn his given name. Coroner I.C. Hill was sent for 
and in company with Constable R.K. Green, went to the Junction late yesterday
evening where an inquest was held over the body, the jury returning a verdict
in accordance with the above facts. At the conclusion of the inquest, in the 
absence of any relatives, the body was turned over to the Brotherhood of 
Brakemen, who took charge of it and will see that it is properly cared for and
buried.
