Killed Instantly
Dexter Man Struck by Train Cut to Pieces under Wheels.
John McKibben, of Dexter, who was killed yesterday by a Missouri Pacific freight train as related in yesterday's Free Press was killed instantly and his body terribly mangled, according to more complete information today.
McKibben who was sixty-five years of age, was walking down the railway track about a mile this side of Dexter when the accident occurred. He was in the habit of walking the tracks to Dexter, as this was a short cut.
He was very deaf and this accounts for his not hearing the train which came up from behind. A high wind was also blowing and this probably kept him from knowing the train was coming.
The freight crew brought the body to Dexter. The coroner was then called and made the investigation.
Mr. McKibben was an old resident of Cowley county. He leaves several children, including Mrs. George Keck, who lives southeast of Dexter; Mrs. Stubbs of Burden; Perry McKibben, Chickasha,Okla.; Chas. McKibben, Burden; and Lloyd McKibben, who lives near Winfield.
Mrs. Levi Quier, of Burden is a sister of the dead man.
