Today’s short story is best repeated in full from his original source.
“One man was killed and several others injured when a Chicago and Northwestern passenger grain crashed into a crew of track laborers at West Chicago avenue and Halsted street yesterday morning. The dead man was John Seohne, 610 State street. John Culp, 121 Emma street, was said by physicians at the county hospital to be badly hurt. All the others will recover. The train, city bound, was hidden by a number of box cars sot act its approach was not noticed by the laborers until it was within a few yards of them.”
From the Chicago Tribune, 3 September 1908. Source.
