This community was shocked Tuesday morning to learn of the terrible accidental death of Ed McSweeney. His body was picked up beside the track a mole south of cone, by No. 11 as it went north about 11 p. m. Monday It is supposed that he was coming this way afoot when the passenger going south struck him. He had gone north with an old army comrade, on the 8:30 and was probably coming home. It is a very sad affair. He leaves a wife and two children, an aged mother, a sister and other relatives, who have the sympathy of all.
