Charles Robinson Brakeman Is Killed While Switching Cars Boulder, Sept. 19 - Dr. C. W. Denbow, coroner, was called to Clancy to hold an inquest over the remains of Charles Robinson, who was run over by a freight train while switching cars in the yard there and instantly killed, his body being badly mangled.
Mr. Robinson was a brakeman on the train and was shifting cars when he stumbled in some manner in front of the engine and before the train could be stopped the engine passed over him.
He was a young married man with a wife and two children and an aged mother who relied solely on his support and there is general sorrow among his acquaintances over his sudden taking off.
The trainmen made up a purse of $135 toward paying his funeral expenses and the body was shipped to Raymond, Neb. for interment.

Lincoln Girl Kills Herself
Chicago, April 30 -- Miss Minnie M. Wry of Lincoln, Neb. was found dead in her room on the sixth floor of the Palmer house today, with her brain pierced and a bullet fired by her own hand. Miss Wry, who was 22 years old, evidently stood before a mirror and by its reflection aimed the shot which ended her life.
