A dreadful accident befell one of our former citizens in Chicago last Saturday. While working in the railroad yards in that city as a switchman, Bert Harris was crushed to death by an engine while switching. We have failed to learn the full particulars. He was brought here for burial last Tuesday and the funeral services were held at the Congregational church. The deceased was a brother of Mrs. A. Porter and Miss Ettie Harris of this place. They have the sympathy of all the citizens in their bereavement.
