The deceased went on a fishing trip with a friend, George Hall, Thursday. They entered the woods on a scooter, which was run on a temporary wood railroad track.

Their bodies were badly bruised, Mr. Hall remains in a dazed condition and nothing as to the cause of the accident can be learned from him as yet.
