Standing on one track and watching a freight train whizzing by on the other, little Joseph SKINNER, aged nine years, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles SKINNER of Bulger, had his life crushed out by a passenger express, which came speeding westward on the same track on which he was standing. The tragedy occurred about 10:20 o'clock on Monday morning just this side of Bulger. The boy had been sent to the Verner Coal Company store by his mother to make some purchases. He was returning home when he stopped to watch one train go by and his life was snuffed out in an instant by the other. The lad evidently did not hear it approaching. The body was terribly mangled. Joseph was the oldest of a family of nine children. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home. Interment in Center cemetery at Midway.
