Terre Haute (IN) Weekly Express, August 4, 1869. The Mitchell Commercials says that on Thursday last a young man named Benjamin Puett, a brakeman on the freight train on the L. N. A. & C. R. R., while endeavoring to detach a part of the train when in motion, by some mishap fell under the cars, several of which passed over his body mangling it in a horrible manner. The mangled and scattered parts of his body were gathered up and taken home to his distracted mother in Bloomington, with whom he had taken breakfast only a short time before the sad accident.
