[LINVILLE, TROY] The accident happened about 12:30 o'clock. It was said, while Mr. Linville, who was employed on the E. A. Poe farm, formerly the M. Corken farm, was moving the tractor back to the field to do some plowing. Evidently Mr. Linville did not see the train approaching, it was said, and ran the tractor directly onto the tracks in the path of the freight. Members of the train crew are said to have seen the tractor in time to apply brakes and slow the train down, but not sufficiently to avoid crashing into the heavy machine with enough force to practically demolish it and kill Mr. Linville. It was quite evident, members of the train crew say, that Mr. Linville did not see the train in time to jump and thus possibly save his life. As soon as the body of Mr. Linville could be removed from the wreckage, it was found he had died almost instantly from severe wounds, particularly about the head. Mr. Linville was a married man and leaves a widow and two children. Efforts were made soon after the accident to get in touch with County Coroner Jack Rowlett, but he was out of the city. Sheriff Edwin Wallace was notified and immediately authorized Justice of the Peace Knox Alexander at Burlington Junction to go to the scene of the crash and hold an inquest. Acting on this authority Mr. Alexander immediately impaneled a coroner's jury and too them to the scene where the inquest was in progress late this afternoon. It was announced that as soon as the inquest could be completed, the body of Mr. Linville would be removed to a funeral parlor in Burlington Junction.
[LINVILLE, TROY] Acting in the absence of County Coroner Dr. Jack Rowlett of Maryville, Justice of the Peace Knox Alexander of Burlington Junction, impaneled a jury composed of earl Walker, Rev. H. E. Marshall, John Rhodes, Guy Plummer, W. G. Gray and W. J. Vulgamott and took them to the scene of the accident where an inquest was held. Among the witnesses who testified at the inquest were members of the train crew who were operating the freight when it crashed into the tractor. They were Conductor F. McMahon of Villisca, Ia.; Engineer W. M. Edwards and Fireman I. L. Davis, both of Clarinda, Ia. After viewing the scene of the crash and listening to the evidence of witnesses, the jury returned the following verdict: "We, the jury, find that Troy Linville came to his death by being hit by train Number 96 at the E. A. Poe private crossing north of mile post thirty in Nodaway township, Nodaway county, Missouri." Officials who visited the scene and attended the inquest stated all circumstances and evidence clearly indicated that blame for the crash could not be established, as it was impossible for the train crew to see the tractor until the train was almost upon it or for Mr. Linville to see the train until too late to keep from being hit. The accident happened at a private railroad crossing on the Poe farm where Mr. Linville was employed. He was taking the tractor back to the field to do some plowing when he was killed. Acting Coroner Alexander said it was evident that Mr. Linville was thrown from the tractor in such a manner, that he rolled over and over with when the train struck. It was said his body was badly crushed. When picked up, however, he was laying clear of the wreckage with only one arm pinned beneath it. The tractor was practically demolished. The accident happened, members of the train crew said, at exactly 11:59 a. m. Mr. Linville had been a resident of the Burlington Junction vicinity for some three or four years. He is survived by his widow and two children. His father, Fred Linville, of Weeping Water, Neb., arrived last night to attend the funeral. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Poe farm with Rev. Charles Calhoun, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Lincoln, Neb., officiating. Burial will be in the cemetery at Quitman.
