Brakeman Brien Killed

John Brien, one of the most popular brakemen on the Rock Island line, was killed in Rock Island Saturday night. He was standing on the platform of the car when a freight train backed into the two cars and crushed him terribly, causing his death in a few hours. His remains were taken to his home at Kellogg for burial.
