It is supposed that his foot caught between the ties, jerking him with force enough to throw him between the cars, killing him instantly. John and his twin Lon, in company with Alva Bradford, were on their way to the show. They left here on No. 16, and in attempting to get off, John slipped and was crushed beneath the wheels. Lon was the only eye witness to the tragedy. The boys as quickly as possible, notified relatives in the city who kindly and very greatly ministered unto the lifeless form, and did what they could to console the horrified and grief stricken brother. Dr. J.S. McMurtrey left here on the first train and retruned Tuesday afternoon with the remains. JOHN THEODOLPHUS McMURTREY John Theodolphus McMurtrey, a son of the late Alex and Betty Mead McMurtrey, was borned May 21, 1894 and was eighteen years and five months of age at the time of his death. He was a good boy, intelligent, temperate and truthful. A spirit of recklessness was his worst fault. He was generally liked, and his young friends are grief-stricken because of his death. He leaves two brothers four sisters and a heart-broken mother, and many relatives and friends to mourn for him. The burial was held yesterday under the direction of the Boys of Woodcraft, the religious services being conducted by Rev. E.F. Wilson.
