Peter PLANO, an Italian miner about 35 years old, who came to this country about three years ago was killed by a train near the West End turn table Monday evening. He and a friend, Vincent SERENO had gone up there from where they "kept batch" in a small building east of the Bess corner, to see some friends, and coming home PLANO was caught by a train. One leg was cut off near the ankle and the other crushed near the same place, his head was crushed in, and there were wounds elsewhere about the neck and breast. He was brought to the Rodgers & Giffin undertaking rooms where the body was cared for till Coroner JOHNSTON could arrive. A jury-Jas. BROWN, Clyde ROBB, Chas. SOULERET, Jacob HIRSHINGER, J. C. RODGERS, J. B. ARGYLE found a verdict in accordance with the facts. Deceased had $1.85 on his person, and in his trunk was found $285.00. Coroner JOHNSTON took possession of this property and an administrator will probably be appointed to send what remains after expenses are paid to PLANO’s mother in Italy.
