Coroner Kelly and sheriff Hamilton were called to Glidden last Thursday to hold an inquest over the body of A,
J. Canon a young man about 10 years old, who was killed by the cars.
The Graphic gives the following account of the sad accident. There were no eye witnesses to the accident so that such conclusions as are reached must of necessity be based on the circumstances surrounding the case, It seems that some of the boys among whom were Ralph Hagaman and the Canon boy started for the depot from up town and were running to hide from each other. The latter passed back of the Graphic office and east of the depot, No, 16, the east bound local passenger, standing at the time on the north track discharging passengers. No, 11, the limited passenger from the east was just pulling in town running at n high rate of speed. In an effort to pass across in front of the engine of No. 10, the unfortunate boy was caught by the engine of the approaching train.
When both trains had gone the Hagamau boy reported that his companion was missing and feared that he had been run over by one of the trains. A short search disclosed, the body lying between the tracks not far from where he had attempted to cross. It had not been run over and the most reasonable conclusion is that he
was caught by the engine of No. 11 and hurled against that of the other train. The body was not cut or mangled, but terribly bruised and broken. The remains were taken to Eaton's undertaking rooms and an inquest held yesterday morning.
The coroners jury was composed of S. E Bahneppc, John Heitkamp and W. F. Waldron. A number of witnesses were examined and a report made substantially in line with the fact as outlined above.
The death was a terrible shook to Mr. and Mrs. Canon, taking from them their only remaining child. They are almost prostrated with grief and the sympathy of the friends and neighbors can do little to assuage their sorrows.
A. J., as he was known to everybody, was an active, energetic and most companionable boy who was liked by everyone.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Friday afternoon and were largely attended as the young man was a great favorite with all who knew him.
