Young Man Killed Under Monon Train

Voris Rout, eighteen years old, son of Gail Rout, was killed by a Monon freight train north of Bedford Sunday afternoon. The young man had been coasting with a party of girls and boys and had started for his home by a short route, when the train caught him. The heavy sleet and ice that lined the side of the tracks prevented him holding himself out of the way. Slipping, he rolled under the wheels and the body was literally cut to pieces.
