Emeigh, of Altoona, was fatally inured about 6 o'clock Monday evening by falling from a passenger train at Grapeville, four miles west of Greensburg. He died at the Greensburg hospital at 11 o'clock as the result of his injuries. Emigh [sic] was a passenger brakeman on train No. 88. It is supposed a sudden lurch of the train caused him to become overbalanced and before he could catch himself, he fell off. Both legs were crushed to the knees and he also sustained other injuries to the body. He was aged 19 years.
