Burial of Floyd Hulbert.
The body of Floyd Hulbert arrived last Saturday from Spokane, accompanied by the wife, infant daughter and the mother, brother and a cousin of the bereaved wife.
It appears that Floyd who was employed in the Spokane freight office, was going to Pasco to spend Sunday with his wife who was visiting her parents there. To save a long walk Floyd attempted to alight from the morning train, slipped and fell under the train, the wheels cutting off both legs below the knees.
