On Saturday “morning as 5.30 a double-header train started for Midland. The first engine was manned by Driver J. Storey and the deceased fireman : Driver Costello .was on the second.- Conductor Greenbury Was in charge. The train stopped at the Junction and Barnes took advantage of the stop to go under his engine to try and dislodge the poker that had got fast in the fire-box. Before going under, he told the driver that he was going. and by him was cautioned to tell the driver of the second engine that he Was going. This he seems to have failed to do for while he was working under the engine the train started and the unfortunate fellow had a leg. arm and part of his head taken 06 by the wheels. The whole train passed over him and had run some distance down the track and again come to a. standstill before it became known that the accident had happened. Then the conductor came forward and said : “Where is Bar- nes?" Neither driver knew and the conductor said : "I guess he has been killed 1 they have found a body on the track back there." This iproved to be the case. The remains were brought to town and an inquest bcgtm. but because of the absence of witnesses it was adjourned. Barnes was twentyâ€"two years old. He had been with the C.P.R. until five months ago. He came here {ram Allandaie. and boarded with Mrs. McKay. Russell-st.
