Thursday morning about 5:45 o'clock, Ben Glasson of Nelson, Nebraska, was struck by the engine pulling freight train No. 148, in the "Narrows" three miles east of the city, and killed. It was light at the time and the man was noticed walking along the track and the stock whistle was sounded. Just at one of the curves in the "Narrows" Glasson attempted to cross the track in front of the engine. He succeeded in getting over the track but did not clear the engine, the heavy wooden framework striking him back of the head on the left side, knocking him some distance from the track and causing death. A piece of paper on the person of the dead stated that he was from Nelson, Neb., and gave his name as Ben Glasson. He had about $30 on his person. Ainsworth Monks was pulling the train and Conductor L. C. Wolff was in charge thereof. The remains were turned over to County Coroner Spotts who empannelled a jury and rendered a verdict that Glasson's death was the result of an unavoidable accident. The remains were shipped to Nelson, last night on No. 14, where they will be buried.
