Motorists who approached the crossing could not understand why the gates were closed when there was no train in sight. Protests rumbled along the lines of autos stopped in both directions. Police were called and investigated. They found Gibbard, dead, in the watchman’e tower. Feeling the attack coming upon him, he had fought off death long enough to lower the gates, and died knowing no one could cross the tracks until his place had been taken and the watch renewed.
