At Nelsonville William Minear, a brakeman on the Hocking Valley road, was instantly killed last Friday. While making a coupling, the drawbar struck the end of the coupling pin, which flew against his head with such force as to cause him to fall on the track and one wheel ran across his breast instantly killing him. He leaves a widow and four or five small children.
