4 The Weathr x i Man| HILLED MISS LETITIA COADY VICTIM OF TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. She Fither Jumped or Fell Off Train ~~ Awfal Injuries Sustained -- Died In Fifteen Minutes, A shocking fatality occurred at Crow Lake on Tuesday, fhe 15th. The ~vitim 'was Miss | Letitia Coaty, aged seventeen years, who was killed by a C.P.R. train. The vietim had been down io Par- ham on a visit, and when returning to her home, in mistake she took the fast express, No. 20, instead of the train for which she had pur- «hased a ticket. The flyer does not make a stop again after leaving Parham until it reaches Smith's Falls, and it seems the unfortunate girl either tried to jump off at her | home siation or she fell off. Both|; lezs and jaws were broken, and her head was crushed above the right eye. The girl died fifteen minutes after being picked up. Dr. W. J. Geddes was summoned to the scenes, and after inspecting AT CROW LAKE -- : THE. R. 8, A.

Forther particulars have been re- ceived regarding Henry Birmingham, the Kingstonian, who was 'fired at by an ltalian at Whitby, reference to which was made in Friday's Whig.

Birmingham cays that on Tuesday night he was ¢hot at from an Ttalian shack about a mile and a half from the G.T.R., east of Whithy, According to his story he was re- pairing a signal bell at the .T.R. croscing when a bullet whizzed past his head. He said that a few min- utes hefore he had seen a couple of Italians "standing at the door of the Birmingham made tor home being shot at and reported the e to Chief MacGrotty WERE.
