Tragedy Near Olin As Hunted Man Killed By Train
Funeral services for 25 year old Herman J. Knockel Jr. of Dubuque follow his death on a railroad bridge east of Olin while hunting rabbits with two brothers. A fast streamliner struck him at 75 to 80 miles per hour, tossing him off the bridge into the Wapsipinicon river bank. The incident marks the third Jones county death in 10 days tied to Union Pacific Milwaukee line trains.

Deputies and railroad investigators described no warning signal at the crossing, noting a prior liner passed minutes earlier.
