Fast Train Kills Young Lady

Miss Josephine Hennessy, a young lady of near Nevada, was instantly killed Monday evening by a fast express train that goes through Nevada about six o'clock. With a schoolmate, she started to cross the track, running under the gates that were down, and the incoming train struck her, throwing the body one hundred feet. The young lady was nineteen years of age and a student at the Adventist Academy.
