  Mr. J. C. Burd, living near No. 10 bridge, near Altoona, was killed 
early Monday afternoon while riding on a freight train which was coming 
west.  He, with a companion named Wilcox, had boarded the train and 
Burd through some accident slipped between the cars as the train was 
passing over a culvert falling under the wheels.  The remainder of the 
train passed over him.  He was picked up in a dying condition and taken 
to the hospital where he was given all possible aid but medical power 
was of no assistance and he died shortly after. 

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa., Friday, May 29, 1903
