KILLED WHILE SWITCHING CARS AT TOLEDO

Word was received here Tuesday evening that Frank L. Taylor, son of Dr. J. W. Taylor, of this place, had been killed at Toledo at about 5:30 p. m. while switching cars on the middle ground. The particulars of the sad accident are thus given in the Telegram: "The deceased was engaged in switching at the time, when he was struck and knocked down by pony engine No. 80. He had just stepped from ah engine on the other track, and did not see the pony engine approaching. His death was almost instantaneous." Frank was in Napoleon on Sunday, full of life, visiting with friends, and when the news of his death was received here, all were struck with sorrow and strongly reminded of the adage that "in the midst of life we are in death." His remains were brought to Napoleon, and will be buried this morning at 10 o'clock from the M. E. Church.
