TWO HEN KILLED AT LA CROSSE.

Henry Spears and James Bragg received injuries at La Crosse Monday from which both died later. The men had sought refuge from a rain storm by crawling under a box car on the siding at La Crosse. The freight train in switching struck the car under which the men were sitting and both were badly mangled. They both were taken to Monon for medical attention there being no physician at La Csosse. Spears formerly resided at Monon and leaves a wife and children.
