In the evening he crossed to New Florence when a fastrack train came along and he was struck by the pilot and hurled to the other track and killed instantly. Clyde Keim, a brother, was notified and he went Wednesday morning and bad the body brought to his home here on Wednesday evening, from whence interment was made Friday. Fred Keim was 25 years old.
