HIS BROTHER ASPHYXIATED
Brakeman J.D. Faulkner, who was called to Nebraska last week to take charge of his brother's remains, passed through Moberly Sunday with the remains going to La Plata for burial.
His brother met his death in a very unusual manner. He was employed as a Western Union lineman and when the gang was moved to another town, some of the men were unable to find rooms and Faulkner and another lineman crawled into a bunker of a car of potatoes which was being kept warm by a charcoal heater placed in the car. During the night some trainman switched the cars and knocked the door of the bunker down, or closed, and the fumes from the charcoal heater asphyxiated Faulkner, but his companion was rescued before succumbing, however he was unconscious three days. Brakeman Faulkner has the deep sympathy of all the loss of his brother. -MOBERLY DEMOCRAT
