LEO MILLER KILLED.

W. J. Miller, the painter, received a dispatch from Chicago Tuesday morning announcing the sudden death of his son Leo, who was attending a law school in Chicago. Later details of the untimely taking off of the young man show that he was alighting from an Illinois Central train at Fifty-seventh street. He had stepped off, when the guard rail struck him on the back of the head, throwing him in between the passenger platform and the cars. The wheels did not touch him, but it is thought the blow of the guard rail caused death. The young man was about 21 years of age and a very promising young man. The remains were taken to the old home of the Millers in Battle Creek, Mich., for interment. Mr. Miller and family have the sympathy of the entire community in this sad affliction.
