KILLED ON THE RAIL

The mangled body of William Collins, aged 50 years, was found on the 
tracks in the Cresson yards early last Tuesday morning.  It is supposed 
that Collins was on his way home to High Bridge from Cresson, where he 
was last seen about 10 o'clock Thursday evening, and was run over by a 
shifter.  The head was severed and badly crushed and the left arm 
ground off.  The remains were turned over to Undertaker Buck at 
Cresson.

Collins leaves a wife and several children. He was a brother of Henry 
Collins of Lilly.
