Postville Review, Sat., 13 Mar. 1880.

News item / Death notice.

Andrew Thompson informs us of an accident at Waukon by which conductor R. F. Lane, on the narrow guage, was instantly killed on Wednesday morning, while switching, prepatory to going out. He jumped from the car and slipped and fell backward, one wheel of the car running over his head and chest, of course mangling him terribly. He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his terrible fate.
