WOMAN KILLED BY MILK TRAIN

  Special to The Evening News
  HERSHEY, Aug. 26. - While going to her work in the Hershey Chocolate 
plant this morning, Mrs. Katie Ulrich, of Hershey, was struck and 
killed by the west bound milk train on the Philadelphia & Reading 
Railroad at 6.50 o'clock. 
  Mrs. Ulrich had waited until an eastbound freight train had passed 
and as the last car on the freight went by she stepped onto the tracks 
and was struck by the train carrying milk.  She was picked up and 
carried to her home, which is directly opposite that of Dr. M. L. 
Hershey, and the physician was called in.
  Mrs. Ulrich had received a fracture at the base of the skull and died 
at 8 o'clock, never regaining consciousness.  She was about 50 years 
old and was a sister of John and Eugene Hershey, of Annville.  She is 
survived by her brothers and one son, thirteen years old.
