Riley, Chas.

  JUMPING TRAIN RESULTS IN DEATH - Chas. Riley, 40 years of age, was fatally 
injured Thursday, evening at Sand Patch while alighting from a freight at the 
east end of the tunnel. He had been at Meyersdale hunting for a house and was 
returning home when the accident occurred. Both legs were ground off at the 
ankle and he died the next morning about 3 o'clock at the Allegany hospital in 
Cumberland where he had been taken after Drs. Lichty and Rowe had given him 
temporary attention in Meyersdale, the latter physician having accompanied the 
unfortunate man to the hospital. His wife and eight children survive.
