Despatches from New Liskeard this week say that although train crews testified that they did not know that anyone had been hit and there was no direct evidence to show just how he was killed, a coroner‘s jury, at the inquest at New Liskeard on Saturday in the death of William Laforest, whose manâ€" gled body was found on the T. N. O. tracks near Uno Park Station last Tuesday, returned a verdxcb of acciâ€" dental death. Eugene Laplante, from whose farm Lafcrest began his walk along the tracks, said Laforest had drunk considâ€" erable wine and was fesling "pretty good," but could walk all right. Provincial Constable R. O. Stromberg estimated that Laforest must have been dragged nearly 300 feet along the tracks. . Three itrains passed over the ling between the time Laforest started out along the tracks and the time his body was found. The Advance understands that the menace of the crossing at Monteith, referred to at the last meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade, is to be removed by the construction of an overâ€" head bridge there, the work to be comâ€" pleted next year.
