Clipper - Wm. Bailey, near Colo, was killed at that station by the cars last Monday. He was unloading grain close to the track, when a train came along, and in attempting to get out of the way was caught and crushed to death, the horses escaping. The funeral was from the residence of his father, Jas. Bailey, near Valeria, on Tuesday, and the interment at Greencastle. Mr. Bailey was 26 years, 11 months and 23 days old. The coroner held an inquest over the remains before they were removed, and the engineer of the train was arrested.
