Two men and a cow were killed at 11:30 a. m. Sunday near Shelbyville when the truck in which they were riding collided with a New York Central passenger train.
Dead are: James Gibson, 42 Roy Dilley, 20.

The two men were in the process of moving to Olney from rural Shelbyville. The cow was the last possession to be moved.

Dilley was Gibson’s brother-in-law. Gibson was driving the truck at the time of the accident, about six miles west of Shelbyville at a country road crossing.
