Appalling Accident Claims Life of Bayless on Railroad
Gustavus S. Bayless, a prominent Fort Wayne real estate and insurance agent, was killed instantly at about 1 20 Wednesday morning when a freight train struck him near the Nickel Plate junction while returning from the Hendricks monument ceremonies in Indianapolis. Coroner Kesler and officers investigated the scene, noting a shattered head and crushed chest. Bayless, 55, carried an accident policy, and his death prompted tributes from family and local organizations. The exact cause remains under inquiry with theories ranging from alighting before the train stopped to a possible fall across the rails, awaiting testimony from engine and conductor.
