Orval Adams
HATTON - Justice of the Peace, W. K. Kennedy, of Ritzville, in the absence of Coronor Sherfey, conducted the inquest inquiring into the facts concerning the death of little Orval Adams who was killed by a train here Thursday of last week. Justice Kennedy and the jurymen
deserve much credit for the careful and impartial manner in which the verdict was obtained.
The jury found that the boy came to his death through negligence on the part of the employees of the company who were in charge of the train. It was ascertained that the lad had started to cross the tracks but stopped to allow the west bound train to pass before him, in order to avoid being hit, stepped backward upon the driveway between two sections of a freight train which had been standing there for some time. Without warning, the trainmen started to bring the sections together, unnoticed by the boy until he was knocked down by the moving car.
The first truck passed over him without injury when he endeavored to escape but was caught by the second, mashing his head and arm. -Hustler
