They will arrive at 9:35 o'clock Sunday morning and will be taken direct to the cemetery. Von Willler' s wife and two children live near Bushrod. He was twenty-five years old.
Coroner Brayton, of Indianapolis, made a thorough investigation of the case Friday. Master Mechanic Miller of the Pan-Handle assisted the coroner by having the engine in which Von Willer received his injuries hauled to the city cold. VonWiller went into the firebox to calk a leak in a cul-de-sac, or blind pocket, from which a flue had been removed. While working at this, his attention was called to another leak and he started to calk it, when the blind pocket blew out and scalding water poured over him. He called for help and was taken out by the engineer and fireman.
