  Fireman R. W. Wilson, of extra No. 1,832 west, was killed Tuesday 
night at 10 o'clock between Cresson and Lilly. Wilson fell from his 
engine when the train was passing Pritsch's sidling, and he was dragged 
a half-mile or more, the train being stopped at Risban's crossing, one-
half mile west of Lilly.  He was dead when the train was stopped, his 
body being horribly mangled.  Wilson was one of a Youngwood crew and 
probably lived at that place.  The remains were taken to Conemaugh to 
be prepared for burial.
