Morrow, about 27 years old, son of Clint Morrow, of Modale, Iowa, was killed at 7:30 Thursday evening about a half mile west of the Missouri river railroad bridge by the engine of an extra westbound freight train. Morrow rode a horse over to Blair Thursday morning and on returning in the evening went east on the railroad, instead of taking the wagon road. When about 250 feet from the crossing, he was struck by the train, killing the horse and rider, the man falling close to the rails and the horse being thrown about 100 feet down an embankment. The man's face was badly disfigured, but was identified today by Dr. O.D. Wilson, late of Modale, who has known him from a boy. Conductor Collins picked up Morrow's pocketbook, containing about $30 in bills and some coin, which lay half-way down the embankment. Morrow comes from an old and respected family of Modale, and was well thought of by his Iowa neighbors. The jury Friday morning, after hearing the evidence, exonerated the train crew.--Pilot Missouri Valley Times-Feb 2,1905 W. A.
