  Herbert Howells, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Howells of 
near Ehrenfeld was instantly killed in a coasting accident at 2 o'clock 
Tuesday afternoon at Ehrenfeld.  Howells and a companion were sleighing 
on a hill near the Webster Coal company's tracks, the path crossing the 
tracks.  As the boys approached this point on one of the trips a train 
of cars came along.  Both threw themselves from the sled upon which 
they were riding and young Howells was thrown directly beneath the 
wheels of the coal cars.  The youth was badly mangled and was dead when 
picked up.
