The town of Lilly was the scene of a fatal accident about 8:45 
o'clock on Tuesday morning.  The victim was William Chambers, a 
brakeman on a freight train, who resided at Barnesboro and who leaves a 
wife to survive him.  His train was waiting for Pacific express to pass 
and he got down and started across the tracks to get some bread.  He 
evidently forgot all about the express as he was struck by its engine 
and instantly killed, his head being crushed.  His remains were sent to 
Altoona where they were prepared for burial.
