Died on Train
Norman Avery, of Southport, T.B., who boarded the express at Bishop’s Falls at 10 p.m. yesterday, feeling ill, died on the train at 6 o’clock this morning. The remains were brought in by the express this afternoon, and taken to the morgue in charge of Detective Byrne. No particulars as to the nature of the man’s illness are at hand at the time of writing, but it is presumed that he had been working for the Central Forests Company in the lumber woods where he contracted a chill and was returning to his home at Southport. The remains will be confined at the morgue and sent to the deceased man’s home for interment by Undertaker Connolly.
