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.
