BOY KILLED BY FALL – Lewis Kubik Slips Through Railroad Bridge and Skull is Fractured – Lewis Kubik, 10 years' old son of Joseph Kubik of 27 Barrett avenue, West Springfield, fell through the Boston & Albany railroad bridge about 7:30 o'clock last evening, receiving a compound fracture of the skull from which he died at 12:15 o'clock this morning in Mercy hospital. The boy was found caught between the trestle work of the bridge with his feet projecting out of the iron work by two men who reside in West Springfield. As nobody saw him fall, it could not be learned how the accident occurred, but it is believed that the boy was walking along the iron girders on the top of the bridge, which is several feet above the trestle work in which he was found. When picked up he was unconscious and was removed to the emergency room in the rear of the Granite building in this city. A physician was summoned and ordered the boy removed to the Mercy Hospital. For several years it has been the custom of boys to climb up to the top of the bridge and walk across in mid-air. When a train approaches, the iron work shakes considerably, which makes the position of a person standing on the top very hazardous.
