| A. L. Ambrose, a freight brakeman on the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania railroad, was fatally injured at 1:25 o'clock Saturday morning, at Gallitzin, by falling from his train. He was ground under the wheels and died while being taken to Altoona. Andrews was a member of the crew of Conductor J.D. Gontz, which was bringing a freight train east. The car tops were wet and slippery, the result of the recent rain, and in the performance of his duty Ambrose in crossing them slipped on one and fell between the cars to the rails. A dozen cars passed over his body badly mangling it, his right arm, both hands and left leg being crushed to a pulp, the left hip dislocated and the body badly bruised. Ambrose had passed his 18th year and had been in the service of the company in the capacity of a brakeman but a short time. |
