John W. Hunter Eithar Fell
or Leaped From Night
Train Platform.
John W, Hunter of Harrison Neb,, met
death last night by either jumping or
falling from the New York Central train
due in this city at 11 o'clock. Hunter
was apparently a wealthy man and was
about 60 years of age. The train was
running at a rate of about forty miles an
hour when Hunter disappeared. "Those
on the train with Hunter sUte that be
had insisted upon going out on the rear
platform to ride itveral times and had
only been prevented from doing so by
forte. He at last succeeded, and whether
he juniH;d from the traiu with desire to
commit suicide or whether he merely
lost his balance and fell is not known.
As soon as it was known that he bad
fallen from the cars the train was stop
ped and backed up to the scene and the
mangled body was found lying on the
tracks near Oswego junction. The train
brought the news ot lb accident to this
city and a, light engine carrying Dr. W.
Louis Hartman went to the spot. Hun
ter was found still alive and was taken
to St. Joseph's hospital in Joseph Mc
Carthy's ambulance, where he died soon
after of his injuries. 1
The dead man was identified by letters
which he carried in his sloibes. He also
had a baggage check issued at Harrit-nn,
Neb,, and good to Albany, which is sup
posed to have been the destination of the
man.
Was In a. Jolly Mood-
A fellow passenger, sieaking of the
affairs, says that he talked freely with
Hunter on the wav from Buffalo and
that he appeared jolly and in the best of
spirits. "As we approached Syracuse."
said the mini, "Hunter showed a desire
to ride on tlio platluiui, and sUrling ior
the door was pulled lock Into the car by
me. I was not looking when at last be
succeeded In bis attempt and just saw
him as lie made a frantic clutch at the
bi ll cord in fulling. J then gave the
alarm. I hardly think he committed
suicide. He was in too jolly a Irume of
mind to have done that."

One of the men who saw him fall at
once pulled the bell cord hut the train
ran along well into the city .before ll

l ho tram then came on to the city and

word at once to Undertaker McKinley in
West Fayette sliect, who went to the
place where Hunter Isy, still breathing
ami bleeding badly. McKinley was not
allow ed by the railroad men, however, to
move the body and they wailed for thej
engine to come from the city.
Just as soon as the engine arrived.
Hunter was taken aboard und brought to
the city. Ihe man was grasping for

From Syracuse Evening Herald July
21 1003.
The above clippings give all the in
foriiiauon we have been able to get in
regard to the death of Mr. Hunter, and
for which his relatives and friends feel
thankful. We feel sure that he did not
jump from the train, for all state that
were with him at the time that he was
not drinking, nor in a suicidal mood.
In a conversation with him the day
before he started east, he was lamenting
the death of his wife, and he said time
did not seem to heal the wound in the
loss of his beloved one, but as tho days
went by he missed her u.ore and more,
and recognized the preciousness of a true
and loyal wife. We have known Mr.
Hunter personally for 17 years i.nd while
be had his faults as well as all meu he
had that lender love for his family and
frienOs that can only come from the God
that created him al ter his own image and
likeness, and his familiar fonu will be
missed not only by his family but by his
many friends as well.
