Man Killed by Train While Standing on Tracks
Ellsworth Blacko aged forty five was struck by a Rock Island train near Brook street at about 8 30 Saturday night and died before reaching Hershey hospital. A coroner's inquest found death due to his own carelessness while on the tracks. The train crew testified he was standing as the locomotive approached, and efforts to flee came too late. The verdict absolved the railroad company.
