KILLED BY A TRAIN

Lenus Brannon, Brother of Dr. P. J. Brannon,
Killed at Ellsworth, Minn., Last Saturday

Dr. P. J. Brannon received the sad news of the death of his brother, Lenus Brannon, which occurred at Ellsworth, Minn., early that morning. Dr. and Mrs. Brannon left Sunday evening for Ellsworth driving cross country in their car. Mr. Brannon was a young man about twenty-eight years of age and was an engineer running between Ellsworth and Aberdeen, S. D. We understand that he alighted from his cab in the yards at Ellsworth and had started to cross another track when he was struck by a train. The funeral was held from the home of his parents at Ellsworth on Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. Dr. and Mrs. Brannon were expected home this evening.
