Killed on the L.V.R.R.
On last Friday as the Ligonier train was going into Latrobe and the freight cars were being dropped down the siding without the engine being attached a small boy named Willie Paul of Latrobe attempted to run across the track in front of the cars but his foot catching in the switch he was run over and instantly killed, his body being horribly mangled. The train men did not see the boy or know he was killed until some time afterward.
