"FATALITY NEAR NICHOLS.
Parley Finch Killed by Train While Walking on Tracks.
Parley Finch, a farmer, living about two miles from the village of Nichols, was killed on the Lackawanna railroad about 500 feet west of the Nichols passenger station shortly after 12:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. There were no witnesses to the fatality. Finch was
seen about the village during the early part of the evening and was undoubtedly walking along the railroad tracks toward his home at the time of the accident.
Two freight trains, one running east and the other west, passed the Nichol's station about 12:30 o'clock. Finch probably stepped out of the way of one train into the pathway of the other and was instantly killed. The body, when picked up, was found to be badly, mangled.
Finch was about 45. years of age, and is survived by a wife, and two daughters"
