JUMPS OFF TRAIN FATLLY INJURED

Jack Conway of Sioux City, was fatally injured near the depot at Hinton
Monday night about 10 o'clock when he jumped off a fast moving train. In
getting off that train he fell beneath the wheels and both legs were
mangled. Joe Thompson, night watchman, was one of the first to see the
accident and a number of others ran to his assistance to get him away from
the rails, fearing that he would get under the train again in trying to get
up. Clair Levins and Ralph Baker rushed the injured youth to a Sioux City
hospital in an automobile, where an amputation of both legs was performed,
but the victim died Tuesday forenoon.
