COAL MINER RUN DOWN AND KILLED AT GALLITZIN

  Run down by a train some time early yesterday morning, the body of 
Frank Mulhern was found between Gallitzin and Bennington yesterday 
morning at 6.25 o'clock.  Mulhern is a coal miner residing at 
Bennington and was aged 50 years.  Deputy Coroner C. C. Rothrock was 
notified of the man's death and went to Bennington to conduct an 
investigation.  Mulhern had both legs cut off and his head was crushed, 
he having been instantly killed.  It could not be ascertained when or 
by what train he met death.  He had been at Gallitzin during the 
evening and presumably was killed while on his way home.  He was a 
single man and was employed in the mines.  The body was turned over to 
Undertaker Quinn to be prepared for burial and Mr. Rothrock decided 
that an inquest was unnecessary.
