HARLOW MORTON KILLED BY PANHANDLE TRAIN

Son of Frank Morton Meets With Three Girls Injured. Harlow Morton, son of Frank Morton, who now lives near Lee, was instantly killed this morning while attempting to cross the railroad track in front of a Panhandle passenger train at Goodland.’ Young Morton, who was about twenty-one years of age, was working as delivery boy for Mr. Little, a Goodland merchant. He was making his deliveries in an automobile and is said to have had three girls in his ear with him. The particulars of the accident are not known here, but evidently young Mortpn attempted to cross the track in front of the approaching passenger train, which struck the car and he was instantly filled.. The girls escaped but were injured, the extent of which we have been unable to learn. His parents formerly lived in Goodland but are now living on a farm near Lee. Mrs. Morrow was formerly Miss Dora Woodworth, and their relatives here were notified of the accident and went to Lee in an automobile and from there they went to Goodland. It is probable that the funeral will be held here.
