Halligan, who livo west of town, was instantly killed by a switch engine at tho Locust street crossing shortly b6fore six o'clock Friday evening. Mr. Halligan brought a load of hay to town, and Jay, who attends the local school, was return ing homo with him on the wagon. Re ceiving no warning from tho watchman on tho south side of tho track, they drove on the crossing, and when near ing tho north aldo observed a switch engine coming down the track north of tho sand house. Mr. Halligan urged on his horses, but the engine was too close for him to clear the track nnd tho rear ond of tho wagon wns struck and thrown around. The collision threw him from the wagon and one of its wheels pnsscd over him. Jay was standing to the rear of his father and either jumped or fell from tho wagon directly in front of the switcli engine, which was running bnckward. Thej en gine was stopped ns quickly as possible and tho mangled remains of thST boy taken from beneath the front of the. cntrine. . . Tho remains were taken iri charge by Coroner Maloney nnd conveyed to tho Howe & Maloney undertaking rooms. Saturday a coroner's jury wns enpnn- eled and nftor hearing tho evidence of a dozen witnesses and also viewing tho scene of the accident, rendered a ver dict that "death was duo to tho gross negligence ou tho part of tho Union Pnclfic railroad company in not provid ing Buflicient crossing protection nnd permitting nn unqualified helper to re ceive and transmit signals." Tho evidence before tho coroner's jury wns somewhat contradictory tts to speed of tho moving engine, and also as to whether tho whistle was blown or bell rung when approaching the crossing.
