KILLED AT SUMMERHILL

  The mangled body of a man named James Casey of Braddock was found 
Sunday morning on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks about one mile east 
of Summerhill.
  Casey had been seen about here for a week or so.  It is supposed that 
late Saturday night or early Sunday morning Casey started to walk to 
Lilly or Cresson, when he was struck by a train.  His watch was found 
on his body and the hands pointed the hour of 3:30 and it is believed 
that it was at that time in the morning he was killed.  The body was 
badly mangled, both legs being ground off and his head terribly 
crushed.
  Casey's wife died in Braddock of smallpox about two months ago.  
There are five surviving children, all living in Braddock.  Casey was 
aged 35 years.  Undertaker C. O. Dimond took charge of the remains.
